Healthcare Mapping of Institutional and Self-Referral Face-to-Face Treatment Services for Individuals at Risk of Committing Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation in Germany, the Czech Republic, Finland,…
Objectives Preventing child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) is a key EU priority. Knowledge on prevention pathways and face-to-face (F2F) treatment services for at-risk individuals is limited. This study maps the availability and distribution of institutional, self-referral F2F services in six EU countries participating in Project Bridge, an EU-funded initiative connecting individuals with sexual interest in children at risk of committing CS…
Criminal Police Perceptions of the Internet-Delivered Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Prevention Program Prevent It 2.0 in Germany, Portugal, and Sweden
Secondary prevention targeting individuals at risk of offending presents a promising strategy to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, yet programs remain scarce and help-seeking individuals face various barriers. In response, internet-delivered programs such as Prevent It 2.0, an anonymous cognitive behavioral therapy intervention, are being developed. Effective recruitment could benefit from collaboration with the criminal police as refer…
Sexuality and sexual violence
There has been an increase in discussion concerning the integration of sexuality education and the prevention of sexual violence. Furthermore, this is a concern at the level of different pedagogical professions in Germany, since sexuality education and sexual violence prevention have developed as largely separate fields. Both sexuality educators and sexual violence professionals work with a broad target group to prevent sexual violence, including…

Sexual assault experience, depression, and heavy substance use among German adults
Our findings suggest that public health specialists, clinicians, and therapists should develop early interventions to prevent addiction and the development of depression after experiencing sexual assault
Policing child sexual exploitation and abuse cases
Research in brief
Results show that rough sex is common. Sexual health professionals, educators, and researchers should be prepared to guide current and aspiring practitioners of rough sex, helping them understand potential benefits, risks, and age- and gender-related differences
Victim Blaming bei nicht-konsensueller Weitergabe intimer Bilder
Einleitung Der Begriff Victim Blaming bezeichnet die Situation, wenn Betroffene von Gewalt selbst für ihre Viktimisierung verantwortlich gemacht werden, indem ihnen auf Grundlage persönlicher oder kontextbezogener Merkmale unterstellt wird, einen Anreiz zur Gewalt geboten zu haben. Insbesondere im Bereich sexueller Gewalt ist Victim Blaming verbreitet und geschlechtlich konnotiert. Spezifische Muster des Victim Blamings werden nachfolgend mit Fok…
The politics of glitch in online networked images
Rosa Menkman proposed that the concept of glitch should be considered a tipping point, a momentum, that can be seized, in which the power of subjectivity and the collaborative efforts of creators and the active spectators take centre stage. This article will discuss how in the last decades the glitch as noise and techne has shifted towards glitch as precarious aesthetics and how it has become associated with decolonial and feminist modes of criti…
Who feels affected by “out of control” sexual behavior? Prevalence and correlates of indicators for ICD-11 Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder in the German Health and Sexuality Survey (GeSiD)
Archival Futures. Born Digital Architecture Media
The interview by Federica Goffi with curator and researcher Annet Dekker focused on the archival futures of born digital media. Dekker discussed her 2014–2016 collaboration with Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI), through the speculative project: New Archive Interpretations, which probed into the digital archive as a system of how processes and individuals influence what can and cannot be seen, accessed, distributed, and re-used. Dekker discussed topics …
Methodology of the German National Sex Survey – GeSiD (German Health and Sexuality Survey)
The German Health and Sexuality Survey (GeSiD) was carried out in 2018/2019 to provide up-to-date measures of sexual behavior, sexual attitudes and sexual lifestyles of the adult population. We describe the methods used in GeSiD which surveyed the general population in Germany aged 18-75 years (with oversampling of younger adults aged 18-35 years). This article focuses on study design, recruitment, and response rate and discusses the strategies i…

Innovative Digital Infrastructures
In response to the issue’s theme, Imagining the Future of Digital Archives and Collections, a number of key players in the Dutch arena are invited to address a specific opportunity and challenge of digital infrastructures for archiving and exchange of cultural data: the issue of sustainability. While innovative digital infrastructures often receive project funding in the start-up phase, their technical, organizational, and financial sustainabilit…
Teaching About Sexualized Violence in Educational and Clinical Institutions
Introduction Sexualized violence is still a rather avoided topic in teaching at German universities, even though a remarkable proportion of the German population experienced child sexual abuse, including many in institutional settings (e.g., schools, clubs of leisure activities). This study examines the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary university curriculum about sexualized violence in educational and clinical institutions. Methods Students …
VR Porn as “Empathy Machine”? Perception of Self and Others in Virtual Reality Pornography
The usage of virtual reality (VR) pornography has risen in recent years. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the steep increase may be driven by an essential difference compared to traditional pornography, namely strong feelings of intimacy and the illusion of interaction with the porn actors. The present study is the first to systematically address this topic in an experimental design. Fifty healthy male participants watched two pornographic films …

The Needs of LGBTI People Regarding Health Care Structures, Prevention Measures and Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures
(1) Background: Studies indicate that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people constantly face challenges and disadvantages in the health care system that prevent them from getting the best possible patient-centered care. However, the present study is the first to focus on LGBTI-related health in a major German metropolis. It aimed to investigate health care structures, prevention measures and diagnostic as well as treatmen…

Religiosity, sexual myths, sex taboos, and pornography use
The study aimed to compare pornography use of students in two culturally different European countries – Poland and Germany, and to investigate associations with religiosity, sexual myths, and sex taboos. Data were collected in an online survey among German (n = 1303) and Polish (n = 1135) university students aged 18-26 years. Polish students were more religious, showed a greater acceptance of sexual myths, and reported a higher level of sex taboo…
Video-Based Eye Tracking in Sex Research
Although eye tracking has been used for decades, it has gained popularity in the area of sex research only recently. The aim of this article is to examine the potential merits of eye tracking for this field. We present a systematic review of the current use of video-based eye-tracking technology in this area, evaluate the findings, and identify future research opportunities. A total of 34 relevant studies published between 2006 and 2014 were iden…
Studentische Sexualität im Wandel
In den Jahren 1966, 1981, 1996 und 2012 wurden insgesamt 10.723 Studierende an jeweils 12 bis 15 deutschen Universitäten mittels postversandter Fragebögen zu ihrem Sexual- und Beziehungsverhalten befragt. Der Beitrag präsentiert wichtige Ergebnisse im Längsschnitt. Der Vergleich der vier Stichproben macht deutlich, dass wesentliche Veränderungen der Sexualität gegen Ende der 1960er- und Anfang der 1970er-Jahre erfolgten, zur Zeit der sogenannten …

Beziehungsformen und Beziehungsverläufe im sozialen Wandel
Obgleich die Familiensoziologie sich zunehmend mit nichttraditionellen Beziehungsformen beschäftigt, blendet sie die sexuellen Aspekte solcher Beziehungen, aber auch der Ehe weitgehend aus. Das ist in einer Zeit, in der die erlebte emotionale und sexuelle Qualität von Beziehungen eine hohe Bedeutung für deren Kohärenz hat, durchaus erstaunlich. Damit, wie Frauen und Männer ihr Beziehungs- und Sexualleben jenseits von Ehe und traditioneller Famili…
Patterns of Masturbatory Behaviour
In 1966, 1981 and 1996 the Department of Sex Research at Hamburg University, Germany, carried out three surveys into the sexual behavior of university students. Taken as a longitudinal study they provide information on the social history of sexuality over the past three decades for well-educated young adults (20 to 30 years old) in Germany. The samples consist of 8,641 men and women. In this paper data from the studies is analyzed under two aspec…
Spätmoderne Beziehungs-welten
Die herkömmliche Familiensoziologie unterschätzt die Dynamik des Wandels des Beziehungslebens, weil sie nichtkonventionellen Partnerschaftsformen zu wenig Beachtung schenkt. Zudem blendet sie die Bedeutung der Sexualität für moderne Beziehungen aus. Die hier präsentierte Studie versucht, beziehungssoziologische und sexualwissenschaftliche Ansätze zu verbinden. Interviewt wurden 776 Männer und Frauen dreier Generationen aus Hamburg und Leipzig, di…
Spätmoderne Beziehungswelten
Online-Sex
Sexualität in virtuellen Räumen kann nicht unabhängig von jener in realweltlichen Räumen betrachtet werden. Statt Online-Sex als eine gefährliche Alternativwelt zu konzipieren, fragt der Autor praxistheoretisch danach, wie realweltliche und virtuelle Sexualität miteinander verschränkt sind und welche Auswirkungen die paradoxale Platzierung materieller und semiotischer Sexualkörper vor und ›hinter‹ dem Bildschirm hat. Anhand theoretischer Analysen…
