Masculinity, Not Femininity, is Associated with Sexual Desirability Among Grindr Users in Australia
Whether men who have sex with men see themselves as sexy is influenced by their gender expression – that is, by their performance of masculinity and femininity. Generally, while masculine men attract others’ sexual interest, feminine men are relegated to the sexual margins. Hegemonic masculinity underpins the disproportionate value gay communities place in masculinity over femininity. Yet norms of gender expression and sexual desirability also va…
Testing the sociocultural model of eating disorders
OBJECTIVE: We present the first study to examine associations between national income inequality, gender equality, and eating disorder rates. These factors have been linked with other health outcomes (e.g., depression) and relevant psychological outcomes (e.g., comparison, objectification). METHOD: We use estimates of eating disorder DALY rates from the Global Burden of Disease Study (Study 1, N = 204 nations) and eating disorder tweeter rates (S…

How Do Men Who Have Sex with Men Define Sexual Desirability
We investigated how men who have sex with men define sexual desirability. Sexual desire occurs in response to sexually relevant (i.e. desirable) stimuli, yet what attributes constitute sexually desirability, and why some and not others are seen as sexually desirable, remains unclear. We interviewed 24 men who have sex with men living in Australia (aged 21 to 64) between May and July 2023. We analyzed how interviewees defined sexual desirability u…
Sexual Consent Norms in a Sexually Diverse Sample
Sexual consent has received increased attention in mainstream media, educational, and political settings since the rise of the #MeToo movement in 2017. However, long before #MeToo, sexual consent has been a core practice among people who engage in Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism, and Masochism (BDSM). This study examined sexual consent norms among a sexually diverse sample, including people who practice BDSM ( n = 116), p…
It Depends! Contextual Variability in Feminist Identity Disclosure Among Binary and Nonbinary Individuals
Does Sexual Desire Fluctuate More Among Women than Men
There is a lay assumption that women’s sexual desire varies substantially over time, whereas men’s is stable. This assumption is mirrored in prominent theories of desire, which posit that women are more variable than men in the extent to which they desire sex, and that women’s sexual desire is more contextually sensitive than men’s. We tested this assumption across three longitudinal studies. Study 1 assessed desire at 3 time points spanning 13 y…
The Heteronormativity Theory of Low Sexual Desire in Women Partnered with Men
Belief in Luck and Precognition Around the World
Although magical beliefs (such as belief in luck and precognition) are presumably universal, the extent to which such beliefs are embraced likely varies across cultures. We assessed the effect of culture on luck and precognition beliefs in two large-scale multinational studies (Study 1: k = 16, N = 17,664; Study 2: k = 25, N = 4,024). Over and above the effects of demographic factors, culture was a significant predictor of luck and precognition b…

Benevolent Sexism and the Traditional Sexual Script as Predictors of Sexual Dissatisfaction in Heterosexual Women from the U.S
Women report lower sexual satisfaction than men. Given that sexual dissatisfaction adversely impacts health and well-being, it is imperative that we investigate why women are sexually dissatisfied. In the present study, we explored whether women’s benevolently sexist attitudes might predict their sexual dissatisfaction. In a sample of 308 ( M age = 38.09) heterosexual American women who had previously had sex with a man, we hypothesized that wome…

Major Events in the Recent Past in Assembly Speeches and the Authenticity of [Andocides] On the Peace
This paper begins by demonstrating that speakers in the Assembly did not misrepresent major events in recent history. An examination of Demosthenes’ speeches to the Assembly shows that his statements about recent events are accurate but are usually brief. This is true for speeches to the Assembly found in Thucydides and Xennophon. The main part of the essay shows that the speech On the Peace attributed to Andocides makes major mistakes about rece…
Embodied remorse
Public apologies struggle to communicate genuineness. Previous studies have shown that, in response to public apologies, perceptions of remorse and levels of forgiveness are often low, while skepticism about motive is high. Furthermore, attempts to reduce mistrust of public apologies by manipulating the verbal component of the message have had limited success. Across 6 studies (combined N = 3,818), we examined whether people respond more positive…
Beliefs About Gender Predict Faking Orgasm in Heterosexual Women
The psychological roots of anti-vaccination attitudes
OBJECTIVE: Strengthening of antivaccination movements in recent decades has coincided with unprecedented increases in the incidence of some communicable diseases. Many intervention programs work from a deficit model of science communication, presuming that vaccination skeptics lack the ability to access or understand evidence. However, interventions focusing on evidence and the debunking of vaccine-related myths have proven to be either nonproduc…

Fifty Shades Flipped
The present study examined the effects of reading submission- and dominance-themed erotica on attitudes toward women and rape, ideal partner preferences, and subjective sexual arousal. Heterosexual male (n = 241) and female (n = 240) participants read one of three erotic stories depicting male dominance, female dominance, or no dominance, or a fourth nonerotic control story. First, we found that after reading about a sexually dominant man, women …
On the Link Between Benevolent Sexism and Orgasm Frequency in Heterosexual Women
Accountability in the two‐year college
Plato once defined man as the plumeless genus of bipeds, birds, of course, being the plumed. Whereupon Diogenes purportedly plucked a chicken and presented it as Plato's man. The Plantonists reacted by extending the differentia in the definition to, man-the plumeless genus of bipeds, having broad One is left with the feeling that the Platonists were somehow missing the point of the whole thing. And in a somewhat similar fashion, I contend that th…
