Full textAbstract:
AbstractPaternal care is a behavioural characteristic that can be selected for by females. By preferentially mating with 'good' fathers, females may directly increase their own reproductive success and may indirectly increase the prevalence of this trait in their sons. We investigated female mate choice in naturally paternal desert-dwelling African striped mice Rhabdomys pumilio. In two-way choice tests, we presented females with olfactory cues from males differing in levels of paternal care quality, paternal care experience, or mating experience. We predicted that females would prefer: (i) males showing higher levels of care; (ii) paternally experienced over paternally naïve males; and (iii) sexually experienced over sexually naïve males. Females did not distinguish between males of differing paternal care quality or paternal care experience, but maternally experienced females showed a preference for sexually experienced over sexually naïve males. Females may prefer sexually experienced males because these males are able to defend territories for breeding. We conclude that paternal care is selectively advantageous because of its apparent fitness benefits. Nonetheless, our study shows that paternal care has evolved independently of female choice in striped mice, since females did not choose between males of differing paternal care abilities.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of sex, sex guilt, and sexual experience on college students sexual fantasies was examined. Twenty-one males and forty-nine females handed in at least three written-out sexual fantasies which were rated on a fantasy checklist. Male fantasies were found to be more explicit, and mention group sex more often than female fantasies. Females mentioned themes of romance and commitment more often than males. Sexually experienced subjects tended to have more explicit fantasies than sexually less experienced subjects. The level of sex guilt did not discriminate among subjects. Subjects who defined themselves as nonreligious had more explicit and richer sexual fantasies.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigated the impact of religion and poverty on sexual coercion experienced among University female students in Nigeria Universities. The descriptive design of the survey type was employed for the study. The sample consisted of 1,200 sexually coerced female students, selected from nine universities drawn from South West using purposive sampling technique, simple random and stratified random sampling techniques. An instrument titled ‘Sexual Coercion Questionnaire’ was used. Test re-test method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument. The reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained. Analysis of Variance and t-test were used to test the hypotheses generated at 0.05 level of significance. It was revealed that sexual coercion experienced by female university students will depend on the type of religion practiced. It was also found that perpetrators will sexually coerce female students irrespective of their financial status. It was therefore recommended that the intensity of religious activities must be increased in Nigerian universities. More so, Professional Counselors should team up with the University administrators to fight sexual coercive behaviours among University Students and that anyone found guilty of sexual coercion should be punished.

Full textAbstract:
Androgens influence many aspects of reproductive behavior, including sexual preference of females for males. In oophorectomized women with sexual desire disorder, testosterone patches improve libido, but their use is limited because of adverse side effects. Selective androgen receptor modulators offer an improved safety profile for both sexes: enhancing libido and muscle and bone growth in a manner similar to steroidal androgens but with fewer adverse effects, such as hirsutism, acne, and prostate growth. The current study investigated the action of a novel selective androgen receptor modulator (LGD-3303 [9-chloro-2-ethyl-1-methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3H-pyrrolo-[3,2-f]quinolin-7(6H)-one]) on male-directed sexual preference, proceptivity, and lordosis behavior of female rats. LGD-3303 is a nonsteroidal, nonaromatizable, highly selective ligand for the androgen receptor and effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier. Gonadectomized female rats were treated with LGD-3303 (3–30 mg/kg) or vehicle by daily oral gavage. Results showed that LGD-3303 treatment enhanced sexual preference of females for males but only if females had previous sexual experience. This occurred after 1 or 7 d of treatment. In contrast, preference for males was inhibited by LGD-3303 treatments of sexually naive females. The LGD-3303 increase in male preference was blocked by pretreatment with the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide. LGD-3303 treatment increased lordosis and proceptivity behaviors in ovariectomized females primed with suboptimal doses of estradiol benzoate plus progesterone. These data support the concept that LGD-3303 can stimulate aspects of female sexual behavior and may serve as a potential therapeutic for women with sexual desire disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual coercion is defined here as a form of male sexual misconduct in which nonphysical tactics (e.g., verbal pressure) are utilized to gain sexual contact with an unwilling female partner. This study compares the risk characteristics of sexually coercive (n = 81) and nonoffending college males (n = 223) across several domains. Results revealed that sexual coercers differed from nonoffenders in that they more often subscribed to rape myths, viewed interpersonal violence as more acceptable, reported greater hostility toward females, and perceived male-female relationships as more inherently adversarial. In addition, compared to nonoffenders, sexually coercive males showed stronger indicators of promiscuity and delinquency, reported more psychopathic personality traits, had more empathic deficits, and were more likely to have experienced certain forms of childhood abuse. In most respects, coercers did not differ from those who reported engaging in more severe forms of sexual assault involving the use of physical force. These results suggest important differences between nonoffending males and those who “cross the line” by engaging in sexually coercive acts. In addition, consistent parallels can be drawn between the predictors of sexual coercion identified in this study and those documented in the sexual aggression (e.g., forcible rape) literature.

Full textAbstract:
We measured behavioral and physiological responses to nonresident males of young female prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) living in family groups. Although substantial variation both among families and among littermates was noted, females generally exhibited investigative and affiliative behavior toward nonresident males, and many were reproductive at the end of a 10-day period. Approximately 31 and 56% of females exposed to sexually inexperienced and experienced males, respectively, had uterine weights greater than or equal to 30 mg. Females exposed in the absence of their fathers to sexually experienced males displayed the highest levels of interaction with nonresident males, and 71% were classified as reproductive. Control females, exposed either to castrated nonresident males or not exposed to nonresident males, remained nonreproductive. Frequent interactions with nonresident males can thus override the reproductive suppression experienced by young female prairie voles at natal nests. The resultant increase in proportion of reproductive females within each family group may contribute to dramatic increases in population density. By limiting interactions between their daughters and nonresident males, resident males play a role in population regulation.

A study of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)." Canadian Journal of Zoology 78, no. 11 (November 1, 2000): 2045–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/z00-147.
Full textAbstract:
Male phenotypic quality may significantly influence female reproductive success. Depletion of sperm and accessory-gland secretions with successive matings represents a reduction in male phenotypic quality and is known to decrease female reproductive output in several lepidopteran species, including the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis. We therefore tested the hypothesis that female ECBs, given the simultaneous choice of an experienced male and a virgin male, preferentially mate with the virgin. However, contrary to prediction, females mated significantly more often with experienced males. Experienced males were significantly lighter than their virgin counterparts, the result of producing three spermatophores that were transferred during previous matings. However, differences in body mass or wing-loading did not appear to play an important role, for within either the experienced or virgin classes, heavier males obtained more matings than lighter ones. Why would females prefer to mate with sexually experienced males? Females may not be exercising any precopulatory choice, and the greater mating success of previously mated males may be related to previous experience. Behavioral observations, however, suggest that female choice occurred. In the process of selecting experienced males, the number of consecutive matings was correlated with low fluctuating asymmetry of the forewing (R-L). This suggests that males who acquired 3 consecutive matings were of above-average quality and were actively selected by females.

Full textAbstract:
Sexually coercive reproductive tactics are widespread among animals. Males may employ specialized structures to harass, intimidate, or physically harm females to force copulation, and injuries to the head and neck are reported in taxa with sexually coercive mating systems. The mating tactics of Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta (Schneider, 1783)) are typically described as involving male courtship and female choice. In contrast, female Painted Turtles in our study population display injuries on the head and neck indicative of bite wounds inflicted by sexually dimorphic tomiodonts and weaponized shell morphology of males during reproductive interactions. Using a 24-year data set, we demonstrate population-level trends in soft tissue wounds inflicted by conspecifics. Adult females experienced more wounding than adult males or juveniles, and larger females had a greater probability of wounding than smaller females. Wounding was concentrated on the dorsal head and neck of females, consistent with expectation of sexual coercion. Furthermore, elevated rates of fresh wounding occurred during late summer, concurrent with the breeding period. By assessing wound demographics, we provide indirect evidence that the tomiodonts and shell of male Painted Turtles inflict injury and function as sexual weapons. These findings shed new light on our understanding of mating system complexity in an often-overlooked and difficult-to-observe taxonomic group.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose While awareness of sexual assaults on college campuses has increased, the majority of efforts to address it are focused on female victims. The relative neglect of male victims may be due in part to problematic rape myths that suggest men cannot be sexually assaulted, especially by women. The purpose of this paper is to compare rates of different types of sexual assault between male and female undergraduates, and explore the relationship between acceptance of traditional rape myths focused on female victims, and rape myths surrounding male victims. Design/methodology/approach Students at a mid-sized university in Pennsylvania (n=526) answered an online questionnaire about their own experiences of sexual assault since coming to college, as well as their endorsement of male and female rape myths. Findings While women experienced more sexual assault overall, men were just as likely to have experienced rape (i.e. forced penetration) or attempted rape. Acceptance of male and female rape myths was significantly correlated and men were more likely than women to endorse both. Participants were also more likely to endorse female than male rape myths. Research limitations/implications By analyzing sexual assaults in terms of distinct behaviors instead of one composite score, the authors can get a more nuanced picture of how men and women experience assault. Practical implications Campus-based efforts to address sexual assault need to be aware that male students also experience assault and that myths surrounding men as victims may impede their ability to access services. Originality/value This paper contributes to our knowledge of a relatively understudied topic: undergraduate male victims of sexual assault.

Background; Gynecological cancer is a common term for cancer in the female genitals and 2013 there were about 2800 women in Sweden that was diagnosed. This form of cancer and the treatment that is used, affects the sexuality and also the fertility of the women. Aim; The purpose with the essay was to illustrate the experience of the sexuality after the treatment of gynecological cancer. Method; The method used in the essay was a systematic translation of different literature. Of all the articles used there were eight that was qualitative, two quantitative and one was a combination of both methods. The analytic process was accomplish with the support of the Friberg (2006) analytic method. Results; The analysis resulted in two categories; Physical changes after the treatment and the treatments impact on the sexuality of the women. The physical changes that occurred because of the treatment was recurring and it showed that it was primarily surgery that hurt the woman body. It was also shown that the biggest impact that the treatment had on sexuality was pain and reduced desire for sex. And it also showed that sexuality got a new meaning for the women and they found new ways to express their feelings towards their partner. Conclusion; It was showed that the sexual experience primarily was affected by the physical consequences that the treatment had and not only because of the cancer itself. And it can because of this conclution be of significance that the nurse focus on the effects of the treatment, like vaginal anatomy and physical and psychological effects to be able to support the womans sexual well-being

Full textAbstract:
A qualitative study on a sample of 12 Puerto Rican women was conducted in
Puerto Rico. The purpose of this study was to explore the various ways in which
sexual meanings are created, changed, and modified as the nature of social
discourse and personal experience changes. The two theoretical frameworks that
guided the methodology and analysis of the data were social constructionism and
feminism. I assumed that sexuality is socially constructed, shaped by social,
political, and economic influences, and modified throughout life. Feminist
theories assisted in documenting the ways in which females' sexuality in Puerto
Rico is shaped by culture and by institutions that disadvantage females and other
oppressed groups by silencing their voices. The theories guided the discussion of
the contradicting messages about women's sexualities and their experiences, as
these women fought, conformed to, and even colluded with their oppression.
Analysis of the participants' written and oral narratives produced the overarching
theme of sexual meanings/scripts, along with three interrelated sub-themes:
sources and nature of sexual scripts, determining experiences, and social
discourses of female sexuality. Participants reported three institutional sources of
sexual messages: family, religion-culture, and institutions of education. Their
determining experiences follow a common thread that weaves a common story
line: the life-long struggle with the incongruencies between the social
constructions of female sexuality and the realities of these women's sexual
experiences. Sexuality is defined as being challenged and modified through the
participants' lives. Four social discourses of female sexuality emerged from the
analysis of the data: source of guilt and shame, vulnerability and sexual
victimization, ambivalence, and empowerment. A theory of ambivalence was
developed from the data as a means to understand the participants' process of
developing the paradigms for their own sexuality.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
There appear to be specific issues that psychologists need to consider when working with female refugees and asylum seekers that have experienced sexual violence. These include ethical, theoretical and practical concerns regarding psychological models and approaches, dilemmas regarding professional, personal and political stances, as well as challenges encountered when working with refugees and/or survivors of sexual violence in general. Research regarding applied psychologists‟ experience of working with this client group is limited, but it is important in order for them, and the services they work in, to meet the needs of this vulnerable group. Hence, eight applied psychologists were interviewed and transcripts analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. The analysis resulted in the formation of four super-ordinate themes: 1) Impact of the work, 2) Personal and professional identity, 3) Struggles with the tools of the trade and 4) Holding on to a „both/and‟ view. Implications of the findings concerned four areas: 1). politics and ideology of the profession, 2). psychological models and approaches, 3). support and supervision for professionals, and 4). increasing service user involvement in clinical practice, service development and research.

Sexuality is an integral part of health and well-being. Despite a 30-year history of adolescent sexuality research, there has been little that has focused on more than risky sexual behaviour. For example, there has been little research on conceptions of sexuality and pathways to sexual health. In part, this is because sexual health has been often defined as the lack of risky behaviour and health problems. In the studies reported here, components of female sexual health were identified and tested, including behaviours and cognitions, among groups of girls in their late teens and early 20s. After a review of the literature, four sets of factors appeared central to identifying female sexual health. These factors included sexual subjectivity, sexual agency, psychosocial well-being and sexual exploration. The first factor, sexual subjectivity, had previously been described as important to female sexual well-being, but had been developed within feminist theories and studied with qualitative methodologies. After a thorough review of the literature, no psychometrically sound measure of sexual subjectivity was found. Therefore, an instrument to assess sexual subjectivity was constructed and validated through a series of studies. Partially as expected, five factors were found - sexual body-esteem, entitlement to sexual pleasure from oneself, entitlement to sexual pleasure from a partner, sexual self-efficacy in achieving sexual pleasure, and sexual self-reflection. In additional cross-sectional and longitudinal (6-month, 2 waves) studies, associations between sexual subjectivity, sexual agency, psychosocial well-being, and sexual experience were examined. The results showed that there were concurrent associations between sexual subjectivity and measures of sexual agency and some measures of psychosocial wellbeing. Results also showed that females with more sexual experience (i.e., experience with sexual intercourse, self-masturbation, noncoital orgasmic responsiveness, and same-sex sexual experience) were relatively higher in sexual subjectivity and sexual agency. However, well-being was similar in sexual experience groups when they were compared. In longitudinal analyses, changes in sexual subjectivity, sexual agency and psychosocial well-being were examined for the whole sample and among subgroups defined by levels of sexual experience. Comparisons were also made between those girls who commenced sexual intercourse during the course of the study, those who remained virgins, and those who were nonvirgins at the first assessment. Main effects generally validated cross-sectional findings. Girls who commenced first sexual intercourse relatively earlier increased in self-esteem over time, compared to their virgin counterparts. Girls who reported a history of self-masturbation and noncoital orgasmic responsiveness, and girls who reported no history with either behaviour, increased in sexual body-esteem and self-esteem over time, but the former group of girls were relatively higher in sexual body-esteem and self-esteem than the latter group of girls. Girls who reported a history of one, but not the other of self-masturbation and noncoital orgasm did not change over time. Results also indicated that girls' transition to first sexual intercourse had little association with sexual subjectivity, but some findings were suggestive of a need for further research. Future research, and study strengths and limitations are discussed. There is a need to examine sexual subjectivity as both an antecedent and an outcome using longer time lags with several waves of assessment so that the linkages between sexual subjectivity and other factors can be determined. The implications of sexual subjectivity and sexual exploration for sexuality education are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The experience of pain during or after sex is a common and serious phenomenon among women (Laumann, Paik, & Rosen, 1999). Although there is a growing field of literature on this phenomenon, very little of it has shed light on what female sexual pain means for a couple. To meet this need in the literature, the present study was undertaken.
The following research question was posed: What are couples' experiences of recurrent physical pain on the part of the female partner during or immediately following sexual contact?
In order to best answer the research question, a narrative method was employed. Eight Canadian, heterosexual participants (four men and four women) shared their stories of female sexual pain in individual narrative interviews. The participants chose pseudonyms to be referred by in the narratives. Holistic and thematic analyses (Lieblich, Tuval-Mashiach, & Silber, 1998) revealed contextually different narratives, and across-narrative themes representing common experiences. These experiences were: Adapting to
a different sexual relationship, shifts in sexual self-view, challenges to creating a family,
difficulties with dealing with medical professionals, and coping. The findings have
implications for professionals who work with women and couples experiencing female sexual pain, as well as for future research in this area.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Based on the various changes in sexual education, many schools throughout the United States still teach abstinence-only education. There is a plethora of literature on the effectiveness of sexual education programs as well as adolescent sexual practices. However, there is a deep gap in literature on students' perspectives of their sexual education and the possible effects it has on their experiences while in college. Therefore, this phenomenological study aims to explore and describe the essence of the experience female university students have regarding the abstinence-only education they received during secondary schooling. The informants (n=12) were 19-22 year old female university undergraduate students who received abstinence-only education within their middle and/or high school. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Data was analyzed through a phenomenological approach where themes and sub-themes emerged. The results from this study indicate that no matter what the participants’ personal beliefs and values surrounding sex are, their abstinence-only sexual education did not teach them adequate information for their secondary school years nor to prepare them for their time in a university setting.

Clements, Hannah K. "Survivors of female perpetrated sexual abuse and their experiences of disclosure." Thesis, University of Lincoln, 2013. http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/18973/.
Full textAbstract:
Overview Female Perpetrated Sexual Abuse (FPSA) remains a largely under-studied and poorly understood phenomenon, despite its growing prevalence. Traditional gender constructions in relation to victimisation and perpetration as ‘gendered’, may be stifling its recognition, and the recognition of those affected. Survivor’s perspectives on disclosure are crucial, given its known under-reporting, and how many people feel silenced. As research on FPSA is in its relative infancy, understanding the process of disclosing is particularly important in influencing professional and social change, and progression. Method Fourteen participants of equal gender distribution, who self identified as having been sexually abused in childhood by a female, were recruited online. The study was advertised via online survivor communities, survivor charities and forums supporting survivors. Participants were directed to a website designed by the Researcher outlining the study in its entirety. Participants then offered their consent to participation and contacted the researcher via the website. Telephone interviews were arranged and conducted with participants meeting eligibility, using a qualitative semi-structured interview protocol. Interviews were transcribed and systematically analysed using a qualitative methodology applying an Inductive Thematic Analysis approach (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Results Four super-ordinate themes relating to participants disclosing sexual abuse by a female were discussed, with one being a central and over-arching theme ‘Perceptions of Gender and Disclosure’, which influenced the three further themes; Perceptions of Gender and Disclosure; consisting of ‘social attitudes’, ‘gender roles’, ‘barrier to recognition’ and ‘barrier to disclosure’ o Decisions to Disclose; consisting of ‘relationship with the perpetrator’, ‘making sense of the experience’, effects of abuse’ and ‘readiness’ o Process of Disclosure; consisting of ‘experiences of services’, ‘contexts of disclosing’ and ‘nature of disclosure’ o Experiences of Disclosure; consisting of ‘perceived professional responses’ and ‘impact of perceived professional responses’. Conclusions Constructions of gender and narrow views of ‘perpetration’ and ‘victimisation’ appear to be stifling personal, professional and social recognition of FPSA. This lack of awareness and perceived cultural denial may be silencing survivors, and restricting their ability to disclose and process their experiences. The impact of gender appears to be two-fold and future research would benefit from exploring disclosure of FPSA for males and females exclusively, as their experiences and needs may greatly differ. The value of involving survivors in educating professionals and in widening awareness is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Due to social stigma, millions of sexual minorities have concealed their true sexual identities by entering into heterosexual relationships and marriages. Eventually, some transition to same-sex relationships and are able to live authentic lives. This latter group had identified as genuinely heterosexual, never questioning their sexuality until a particular time in their lives when same-sex desires spontaneously appeared. The experiences of transitioning from heterosexual to same-sex partners are not well known, particularly for women who have been legally married to both men and women. Diamond's dynamical systems theory for same-sex sexuality and McCarn and Fassinger's lesbian identity formation model provided the theoretical framework for this qualitative narrative study investigating the life stories of 15 female participants recruited from social media, who had experienced a transition from heterosexual marriage to same-sex marriage. Face-to-face interviews were conducted and data were coded and analyzed to identify emergent categories. The findings revealed that the women experienced shifts in private and public sexual identities over time. Despite external obstacles and personal concerns in transitioning from heterosexual to same-sex relationships, all the women had more positive experiences in their same-sex marriages than they did in their heterosexual marriages. Understanding these women's life stories will allow mental health professionals to better understand and address the needs of this population in more clinical and applied settings. This study will also help educate the general public about women who experience shifts in the desired gender of their relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Through fifteen essays that work from a rich array of primary sources, this collection makes the novel claim that early modern European women, like men, had a youth. European culture recognised that, between childhood and full adulthood, early modern women experienced distinctive physiological, social, and psychological transformations. Drawing on two mutually shaped layers of inquiry — cultural constructions of youth and lived experiences — these essays exploit a wide variety of sources, including literary and autobiographical works, conduct literature, judicial and asylum records, drawings, and material culture. The geographical and temporal ranges traverse England, Ireland, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Mexico from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. This volume brings fresh attention to representations of female youth, their own life writings, young women’s training for adulthood, courtship, and the emergent sexual lives of young unmarried women.

Sexual satisfaction in women is associated with general well-being. Meanwhile, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is strongly associated with feelings of physical and emotional dissatisfaction, decreased happiness, reduced quality of life, and impaired interpersonal relationships. While each woman has her own definition of “normal sexual function,” research demonstrates that approximately 40% of US women have experienced sexual difficulties at least once in their life, the most distressing of which across all age groups is decreased sexual desire. The author reviews the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition) classification of FSD, differing models of female sexual response, the multifactorial potential of the pathophysiology of FSD, and the standard clinical evaluation of a woman who presents with sexual dysfunction. Treatment modalities are reviewed for various forms of FSD including education, lifestyle modification, psychological therapies, supplements, botanicals, mind-body medicine, manual medicine, conventional medications (hormonal and nonhormonal), and surgical interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Female patients undergoing treatment for cancer often experience significant changes in their sexuality due to the disease and its treatment. Sexuality relates to the sexual habits and desires of each individual. It varies according to age-related sexual needs. Many women with cancer consider their sexuality an important aspect of their lives. Yet, they may refrain from sex or enjoy it less following treatment, whether it be surgical or by irradiation, and accompanied by adjunctive chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Chapter 11 discusses these issues, with a vignette illustrating the impact of an unexpected diagnosis of cancer. Multiple studies have examined sexual dysfunction following treatment of gynaecological cancers, including breast cancer, and several proposed solutions are available. However, the information has not been implemented by many health providers, and patients often experience anxiety and embarrassment when planning to discuss sexuality. The patients may be concerned that their sexual habits might interfere with the treatment outcome, and cause a recurrence of cancer. Reproductive dysfunction is only one of the manifold problems in the female undergoing cancer therapy. It can lead to infertility but certain treatment methods could help retain fertility. Ethical concerns pertaining to the preservation, and use of germ cells, need to be addressed. Ideally, a team of healthcare providers should handle sexual rehabilitation of the cancer survivor based on the patient's history. Unfamiliarity with such matters makes many medical professionals hesitant in discussing their patients' sexuality. The PLISSIT model can help initiate the assessment of sexual dysfunction in these patients.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides an overview of queer readings, identifies how queer readings of biblical texts are indebted to queer theory, feminism, and gender criticism, and examines recurring themes and arguments in queer readings of the prophetic material. Building from this, this chapter’s queer reading reclaims female embodiment and sexuality by unearthing positive valences of the prophets’ use of the threshing floor euphemism and the sexual and metaphorical potential of gardens, vineyards, and moist land. This reading demonstrates how the euphemism of the threshing floor and the sexualized fertility imagery of the garden and vineyard in prophetic materials can undermine the overriding negative message in prophetic literature that emphasizes a pejorative attitude toward female sexual activity. The prophetic metaphors work against themselves and leave open the possibility of a queered and positive reading of female sexual experience.

Full textAbstract:
This book examines the representation of the female fertility cycle in contemporary Algerian, Mauritian, and French women’s writing. It focuses on menstruation, childbirth, and the menopause whilst also incorporating experiences such as miscarriage and abortion. This study frames its analysis of contemporary women’s writing in French by looking back to the pioneering work of the second-wave feminists. Second-wave feminist texts were the first to break the silence on key aspects of female experience which had thus far been largely overlooked or considered taboo. Second-wave feminist works have been criticised for applying their ‘universal’ theories to all women, regardless of their ethnicity, socio-economic status, or sexuality. This book argues that contemporary women’s writing has continued the challenge against normative perceptions of the body that was originally launched by the second-wave feminists, whilst also taking a more nuanced, contextual and intersectional approach to corporeal experience. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach of this book is informed not only by critics of the second-wave feminist movement but also by sociological studies which consider how women’s bodily experiences are shaped by socio-cultural context.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAn ethical and forward-looking health sector response to sex work aims to create a safe, effective, and non-judgemental space that attracts sex workers to its services. Yet, the clinical setting is often the site of human rights violations and many sex workers experience ill-treatment and abuse by healthcare providers. Research with male, female, and transgender sex workers in various African countries has documented a range of problems with healthcare provision in these settings, including: poor treatment, stigmatisation, and discrimination by healthcare workers; having to pay bribes to obtain services or treatment; being humiliated by healthcare workers; and, the breaching of confidentiality. These experiences are echoed by sex workers globally. Sex workers’ negative experiences with healthcare services result in illness and death and within the context of the AIDS epidemic act as a powerful barrier to effective HIV and STI prevention, care, and support. Conversely positive interactions with healthcare providers and health services empower sex workers, affirm sex worker dignity and agency, and support improved health outcomes and well-being. This chapter aims to explore the experiences of sex workers with healthcare systems in Africa as documented in the literature. Findings describe how negative healthcare workers’ attitudes and sexual moralism have compounded the stigma that sex workers face within communities and have led to poor health outcomes, particularly in relation to HIV and sexual and reproductive health. Key recommendations for policy and practice include implementation of comprehensive, rights-affirming health programmes designed in partnership with sex workers. These should be in tandem with structural interventions that shift away from outdated criminalized legal frameworks and implement violence prevention strategies, psycho-social support services, sex worker empowerment initiatives, and peer-led programmes.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows that feminist debates over sex commerce extend to a number of social practices, including pornography, prostitution, trafficking in persons, and the use of sexual images of women to promote products and entertainment. The chapter establishes that feminist theorists are divided on the question of whether markets in sexually explicit materials and sexual services are generally harmful to women. Accordingly, some feminist scholars have explored and developed arguments for restricting sex markets, while others have investigated political movements that aim to advance the rights of sex workers.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual violence experienced during military service can have lasting negative psychosocial effects on veterans long after service ends. Current research reports veterans who have experienced military sexual violence are more likely to develop mental health and substance use disorders. Little is known, though, about the relationship between military sexual violence and subsequent cannabis use disorder (CUD). The current study investigated prevalence of military sexual violence among a large sample of OEF/OIF veterans (N = 1,005), its effect on later CUD, and the potential moderating role of resilience. First, t-tests examined differences in experience of military sexual violence between LGBQ vs. heterosexual and female vs. male veterans. Then, using logistic regressions controlling for sex, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity, we assessed the effects of sexual violence on CUD (Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test score of 12 or higher), followed by adding resilience into the model to examine independent and moderation effects. T-test results indicated that female (t(99) = -7.46, p < 0.001) and LGBQ veterans (t(38) = -3.85, p < 0.001) were significantly more likely to experience military sexual violence. Veterans who experienced military sexual violence had higher odds of screening for CUD (OR = 3.37; 95% CI = [1.76, 6.45]). Greater resilience was associated with lower odds of CUD (OR = 0.40; 95% CI = [0.23, 0.70]), but it did not moderate the relationship between sexual violence and CUD. Our findings are in line with prior work that female and LGBQ veterans may experience sexual violence during military service at higher rates. We also showed that veterans who experience military sexual violence are at increased risk for subsequent CUD. This suggests the importance of screening for military sexual violence among veterans, including among those seeking care for CUD, as well as screening for CUD symptoms among those who have experienced military sexual violence. Since we found that greater levels of resilience were associated with lower odds of CUD, programs and treatments aimed at building resilience to adverse events may have independent protective effects on CUD.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Although dating applications (apps) have become increasingly popular, there is a scarcity of information regarding the sexual behavior implications among young adults. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between the use of dating apps and sexually transmitted infections (STI) among college students. Methods: A literature review was conducted to examine the influence of dating apps usage by college students on risky sexual behavior. The search for suitable studies was carried out on March 2021 with the research database PubMed using the following keywords: sexually transmitted infections, dating applications, sexual behavior, and college students. Studies published during the past 5 years were included. Results: Five articles met the inclusion criteria. The use of dating apps was associated with more sexual partners and the frequency of having multiple sexual partners was higher for men. Besides, men who used dating apps had a lower protective attitude than those who did not use dating apps. In contrast, female dating app users had a higher protective attitude. Most women requested the use of a condom. Moreover, there is an association between being a user of dating apps and having unprotected sexual intercourse with more lifetime sexual partners and having a casual sex partner without using a condom in their sexual intercourse experience. They were less likely to have condom use consistently and more likely not to have used condoms the last time they had sexual intercourse. Not having a condom or trust/repeated encounters and not realizing the necessity of using condoms in sexual intercourse were some of the reasons for unsafe sex. Conclusion: The use of dating apps seems to be associated with a high number of sexual partners and unprotected sexual intercourse, which can be associated with higher susceptibility to STI. University education about risky behaviors and STI is imperative.

Full textAbstract:
Beef cattle is one of the main sectors that drive the national economy, given the great generation of employment, presence in the consumer market, and exports. Among the various services generated, technical assistance to producers stands out, who work in several areas and, especially reproduction, which is a great ally to bovine production, because through it it is possible to monetize the creation with the use of reproducers with high fertility potential boosting livestock productivity. Therefore, the andrological evaluation in the sires is an important factor in selecting superior animals, seeking to improve the fertility of the herd. The present study aimed to analyze the sexual behavior of bulls of the Tabapuã breed, through the libido test, as part of the andrological examination. Ten young bulls of the Tabapuã breed were used, aged between 24-43 months, with an average weight of 375kg, without sexual experience. The libido test was performed from the contact of males with females in estrus and out of estrus to assess sexual interest. It was observed that half of the animals were classified with low libido (50%) and the other part with medium (30%) and high (20%) libido. In addition, it was observed that the most frequent sexual events were the identification of estrus. Finally, given the results of animals classified with low libido, it is suggested that sexual inexperience is correlated, and it is recommended to insert these cattle with high libido bulls so that they can observe the behaviors and gain experience.

Full textAbstract:
Children's gender perceptions are actively formed in preschool age and are an integral component of person's gender identity. The formation of sexual identity of a child continues from 2 to 7 years, and the formation of his/her imagination occurs in the process of socialization through: identification, imitation, following, modeling, direction, self-determination, encouragement, self-acceptance, self-reflection, cognitive dissonance. Child masters the social norms, patterns of behavior and cultural values of his/her nation. The gender approach to the upbringing of the preschool children should be focused on the formation and establishment of equal, gender-independent opportunities for self-realization of the individual. However as practical experience shows, the gender component and its methodological data are insufficient in terms of the content of preschool education. In preschool institutions, gender education takes place spontaneously, educators use the traditional approach to forming child's self-esteem and his stereotypes of self-perception only on the basis of gender, so it is important today to pay more attention to gender education and socialization. Experimentally it has been investigated the peculiarities of gender and age identification of the preschoolers of the preschool institution of a combined type #9 of the city of Chernivtsi. According to the research, the greater part of children of 5-6 years old are aware of their belonging to the male or female sex, having the already formed gender identity. Gender perceptions of preschool children are gender-appropriate: girls’ - feminine, and boys’ – masculine. In addition, they are stereotypical: boys have instrumental role, girls-expressive.

Full textAbstract:
The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a ubiquitous pest of fruit trees, causing significant economic damage both in the U.S. and in Israel. Control efforts in the future will rely heavily on the sterile insect technique (SIT). Success of such operations hinges on the competitive ability of released males. The mating system of the medfly is based on leks. These are aggregations of sexually signaling males that attract females (who then select and copulate a courting male). A major component of male competitiveness is their ability to join existing leks or establish leks that are attractive to wild females. Accordingly, we identified leks and the behaviors associated with them as critical for the success of SIT operations. The objectives of this proposal were to determine 1. what makes a good lek site, 2. what are the energetic costs of lekking, 3. how females choose leks, and finally 4. whether the copulatory success of sterile males may be manipulated by particular pre-release diets and judicious spatial dispersal. We established that males choose lek sites according to their spatial location and penological status, that they avoid predators, and within the lek tree choose the perch that affords a compromise between optimal signalling, micro-climatic conditions and predation risk (Kaspi & Yuval 1999 a&b; Field et al 2000; Kaspi & Yuval submitted). We were able to show that leks are exclusive, and that only males with adequate protein and carbohydrate reserves can participate (Yuval et al 1998; Kaspi et al 2000; Shelly et al 2000). We determined that females prefer leks formed by protein fed, sexually experienced males (Shelly 2000). Finally, we demonstrated that adding protein to the diet of sterile males significantly enhances their probability of participating in leks and copulating wild females (Kaspi & Yuval 2000).

Forced sexual relations among married young women in developing countries. Population Council, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy22.1007.
Full textAbstract:
Recent research in developing countries suggests that a considerable number of young women may experience forced sex within marriage, but most women may be inhibited from reporting these experiences due to shame, fear of reprisal, or deep-rooted unequal gender norms. In September 2003, a global consultative meeting on nonconsensual sex among young people in developing countries was held in New Delhi, India. The meeting was organized by the Population Council in collaboration with World Health Organization/Department of Reproductive Health and Research, and Family Health International/YouthNet. Participants included researchers, legal analysts, representatives from community-based NGOs, policy-makers, and young people themselves. Papers highlighting the nature and prevalence of coercion among married young women were presented. Sessions examined the following issues in relation to nonconsensual sex: experiences of young females and males: prevalence, forms, and contexts; youth perspectives; patterns of transactional sex; roles of the legal system; outcomes of coercion at the individual and community level; interventions to prevent nonconsensual sex and to support and treat victims; and research design and methods. Several recommendations for action to address factors that heighten young women’s vulnerability to coercive sexual relationships within marriage were presented.
