Two studies examined targets’ negative reactions to various levels of positive gender stereotypes. Chinese students were recruited as participants (<i>N</i> = 1204), who were randomly assigned to the somewhat, moderately, or extremely positive gender stereotype conditions or the control condition. Reactions to positive gender stereotypes were then measured. Results showed that both female and male participants who were exposed to positive gender stereotypes disliked the speaker stating such stereotypes more, experienced greater negative emotions, and perceived the speaker as more gender-prejudiced than those who were not exposed to such stereotypes. These negative reactions were more pronounced in female participants than in male participants. Furthermore, participants’ negative reactions to different levels of positive gender stereotypes were similar, regardless of whether the stereotypes were somewhat, moderately, or extremely positive. These negative reactions elicited by positive gender stereotypes were mediated by both a sense of depersonalization and a sense of diminished autonomy. This research indicates positive gender stereotypes are like “sugar-coated bullets,” appearing harmless ostensibly. However, even somewhat positive gender stereotypes may elicit targets’ negative reactions, impairing interpersonal relations and perpetuating gender inequality under the radar.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 3","pages":"1181 - 1197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a secondary analysis of a 2018 web-based cross-sectional survey in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru. Participants were ≥ 18 years old, cisgender men, not living with HIV, had sex with other men in the previous six months, and had an HIV Incidence Risk Index for MSM score ≥ 10. We performed a multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with low/moderate perceived risk for HIV acquisition for each country. A total of 9900 GBMSM were included, and the majority (85.7%) reported low/moderate perceived risk for HIV acquisition. The mean age was 28.8 (SD = 7.7) years, and 77.7% had high school or more. Having ≥ 5 sex partners, daily use of geosocial networking (GSN) apps, and having sex (including condomless insertive anal sex) with a person living with HIV decreased the odds of low/moderate perceived risk for HIV acquisition, but an HIV test in the last year increased the odds only in Mexico. Latin GBMSM with high sexual HIV exposure (eligible to use PrEP) showed a massive gap with their perceived risk. HIV prevention counseling should explore HIV testing history and the frequency of use of GSN apps to promote an objective self-assessment of HIV exposure among Latin GBMSM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 3","pages":"1141 - 1152"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining these associations daily and prospectively will provide insight into within-person variations, temporality, and directionality. Women and gender-diverse individuals diagnosed with SIAD and their partners (<i>N</i> = 232 couples) completed a baseline survey, 56-day diary, and 6-month follow-up survey, assessing responses to sexual rejection, sexual satisfaction, dyadic sexual desire, sexual distress, and relationship satisfaction. Post hoc exploratory analyses controlled for non-physical sexual coercion and sexual rejection frequency. On days when individuals with SIAD perceived or their partners reported greater understanding responses than usual, they both reported higher relationship satisfaction, but also greater sexual distress. Daily perceived or reported greater resentful or insecure responses were associated with lower sexual and relationship satisfaction, and greater sexual distress. Enticing responses showed mixed results. For partners, all daily self-reported response types were positively associated with their own dyadic sexual desire. Prospectively for individuals with SIAD perceiving greater understanding and lower resentful and enticing responses at baseline predicted their own greater sexual and relationship satisfaction and perceiving greater insecure responses predicted their partners’ greater sexual satisfaction, six months later. For partners, greater insecure responses at baseline predicted their own lower sexual satisfaction and greater sexual distress six months later. Results suggest that partner responses to sexual rejection may be useful intervention targets aimed at promoting the sexual well-being and relationship satisfaction of couples coping with SIAD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 3","pages":"975 - 995"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lack of sexual attraction was a lifelong orientation—most (i.e., often half to two-thirds) asexual individuals reported never experiencing sexual attraction or acting on it. Identity formation processes and romantic feelings tended to be most salient in adolescence. People are identifying as asexual more recently, such that 18–22-year-olds did so recently in adolescence (ages 13–17), 23–29 year-olds did so recently in young adulthood (ages 18–24), and 30 + year-olds did so recently in adulthood (ages 25–34). This may be consistent with the visibility of asexuality increasing in recent years, providing a useful label for people. Asexual people were more out to other members of the LGBTQIA+ community but less to family, coworkers, and the heterosexual community. Being out and lower levels of internalized acephobia were associated with higher life satisfaction.

Both male cross-dressers and transfeminine individuals (a broad range of individuals born male with a feminine gender identity; e.g., trans women) have been shown to be motivated or characterized by autogynephilia. Although there is a lack of research on whether other potentially related aspects of sexuality are comparable between them, the conceptual framework of autogynephilia offers several predictions that can be tested empirically. Following these predictions, the present study examined whether 10 diverse aspects of sexuality differed between 519 male cross-dressers and 288 transfeminine individuals recruited from online communities, as well as between both groups and 293 cisgender men and 301 cisgender women recruited as control groups. The overwhelming majority of male cross-dresser and transfeminine participants identified as heterosexual, bisexual, asexual, or pansexual. Compared with transfeminine participants, male cross-dressers reported more core and general autogynephilia, paraphilic interests, sociosexual orientation, sexual compulsivity, and problematic pornography use, but less bisexual attraction. Compared with cisgender men and women, male cross-dressers and transfeminine participants as a combined sample reported more bisexual attraction, sexual orientation ambiguity, core and general autogynephilia, paraphilic interests, analloeroticism, sexual compulsivity, and problematic pornography use, but less perceived desirability as a partner. Differences were larger comparing male cross-dressers and transfeminine participants with either control group than with each other. Results suggest that while autogynephilia is especially important to the sexuality of male cross-dressers, it also figures importantly in the sexuality of transfeminine individuals, even if it is expressed and organized differently.</p>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"32 1 Suppl. 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
