The morality pathway has been studied extensively, though the dysregulation pathway has remained underdeveloped. The current study aimed to further investigate the dysregulation pathway from the PPMI model by examining impulsivity and emotional dysregulation. This research was conducted on a sample of 1620 Romanian participants (69.1% females), aged between 18 and 74 years (M = 26.87; SD = 9.15). They completed questionnaires designed to assess dimensions of impulsivity (e.g., “negative urgency,” “positive urgency,” “sensation seeking,” “lack of premeditation,” and “lack of perseverance”), emotional dysregulation, distress, and self-perceived addiction to pornography. Findings revealed that impulsivity and emotional dysregulation relate to distress and self-perceived addiction to pornography, and that these constructs can be integrated into the dysregulation pathway of the PPMI model. This work contributes to the development of the PPMI framework, as well as to a deeper comprehension of the negative outcomes of pornography consumption.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"2317 - 2334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03493-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148522423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study was conducted in central Uganda in 2020, involving 7 focus group discussions and 16 key informant interviews with 57 participants, including clients with HIV (n = 12), health and lay workers (n = 17), community members (n = 12), and key informants with health system expertise (n = 16). Using thematic analysis guided by an adapted patient-centeredness model, findings were organized around biopsychosocial perspectives, decision-making processes, and features of care. Gender norms were found central to clients’ treatment compliance, and providers were aware of clients’ gender-related barriers. Shared decision-making between clients and providers was limited for both men and women. Women providers reported challenges to their authority by men, who were often unwilling to take direction. As clients, the men were viewed by providers as direct but rude and less open communicators, while women were perceived as agreeable “good patients,” but women who had not disclosed their status to others were viewed as dishonest. Men’s expectations for respect underpinned tensions with women providers, who showed low empathy toward men’s challenges. Despite recognizing the importance of gender-sensitive, patient-centered communication, structural barriers such as time constraints and the scarcity of male providers hindered its delivery. The findings suggest gender-transformative programming with communities (broadly with community leaders, people living with HIV, partners, etc.) could help men and women living with HIV overcome barriers to care engagement. For providers, gender-sensitivity training could enhance their skills and empathy to be patient-centered toward both men and women.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"2097 - 2112"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03461-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148522424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, male sexual activity is diverse, ranging from penile–vaginal intercourse to solitary practices such as masturbation. Masturbation is highly prevalent in the general population, particularly among younger men who often report premature ejaculation. This presents a specific challenge in diagnosing premature ejaculation in men who do not engage in vaginal–penile intercourse and rely solely on solitary sexual activity, such as masturbation. Therefore, we translated and psychometrically validated the Indonesian version of the Masturbatory Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (MPEDT) in Bahasa Indonesia to facilitate and expand the application of sexual assessment in sexual healthcare, thereby enabling more comprehensive management of premature ejaculation. The Indonesian version demonstrated good construct validity, internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.88), and good temporal stability and reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.76), supporting its potential use as a screening instrument for masturbation-related ejaculatory symptoms in clinical and research settings. Furthermore, based on our analysis, an MPEDT cut-off score of ≥ 9 may help identify individuals who may benefit from further clinical evaluation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"1869 - 1876"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148468574","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 study examined the associations of childhood and adulthood sexual violence with impaired social inclusion, poorer health and well-being, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among asexual young adults, with particular attention to the mediating role of identity-related impairment in social inclusion. Data were drawn from the 2021 Ace Community Survey (N = 6163; ages 18–30 years). The results showed that both childhood and adulthood sexual violence were significantly associated with poorer health and well-being, greater impaired social inclusion, and a higher likelihood of NSSI. Notably, childhood sexual violence exhibited broader and stronger associations with impaired health and well-being and NSSI than sexual violence experienced in adulthood. Impaired social inclusion significantly mediated the associations between both forms of sexual violence and adverse health outcomes, as well as NSSI. These findings challenge the assumption that low sexual attraction protects asexual individuals from sexual victimization and highlight the central role of identity-related social exclusion in shaping health disparities among asexual young adults. The study underscores the importance of trauma-informed and identity-affirming interventions that address both sexual violence and social inclusion to improve mental health and well-being in this understudied population.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"1957 - 1974"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148432931","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}

However, this theory contains significant flaws. This article critically evaluates the male choice hypothesis, showing that it rests on assumptions about male fitness benefits that are inconsistent with established principles of evolutionary psychology and sexual selection and that it further suffers from internal contradictions and conflicts with the empirical evidence. Analysis shows that support for the hypothesis was inflated by a methodological error in which the unlabeled midpoint of their Likert-type scales was repeatedly treated as an affirmative response. Correction of this error in a reanalysis of the published data demonstrates that the authors’ own findings fail to support the hypothesis. Taken together, these issues demonstrate that the male choice hypothesis is not supported by either theoretical reasoning or the empirical evidence presented in its favor, and thus is unlikely to constitute a viable evolutionary explanation for same-sex attractions among heterosexual women. Finally, alternative evolutionary hypotheses are presented that provide more plausible explanations for same-sex attractions among heterosexual women.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"2071 - 2086"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03469-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
