Heterosexual Men’s Visual Attention to Nude Images Depicting Cisgender Males, Cisgender Females, and Gynandromorphs
Men’s Sexual Interest in Feminine Trans Individuals across Cultures
Feminine trans individuals (i.e., individuals who were assigned male at birth but who have a feminine gender presentation and identity) are present in many cultures. In some cultures, these individuals identify as (trans) women. Many of these individuals undergo medical treatments to feminize their bodies (e.g., breast augmentation), but most do not undergo vaginoplasties and therefore have penises. In many non-Western cultures, feminine trans in…

Reconsidering male bisexuality
In many non Western cultures, same-sex attracted males are markedly feminine in terms of their gender role presentation and are recognized as members of a gender. These third gender males engage in sexual activity with masculine males who are recognized as men. The sexual orientation of these masculine men remains an open question. Using a Samoan sample (N = 100), the current study employed measures of self-report and viewing time (a measure that…
Familial Patterning and Prevalence of Male Androphilia in Samoa
Previous research established that male androphilia (i.e., sexual arousal and attraction to adult males) clusters in families. Some studies find that male androphilia clusters in both the paternal and maternal lines, while others find that it clusters only in the latter. Most of the research investigating the familial nature of male androphilia has taken place in Western cultural contexts that are problematic for such research because they are ch…
Femininity and Kin-Directed Altruism in Androphilic Men
(Trans)Gender Role Expectations and Child Care in Samoa
Samoan transgendered males are known as fa'afafine. Although Samoan women are characterized as the primary child care providers, fa'afafine report elevated willingness to invest in nieces and nephews compared to men and women. We hypothesized that Samoans hold unique transgender role expectations such that fa'afafine are expected to invest more toward nieces and nephews compared to others. Participants (N = 214) included Samoan men (30.23 years ±…
