“It’s Just a Dick Pic”
Unveiling the Social Perception of Cyber-Sexual Exploitation Against Women Streamers
Social media shapes social interactions, exposing women to cyber-sexual exploitation and judgment. In October 2022, streamer Amouranth reported abuse by her partner, sparking public reactions. This study analyzed posts from 5 days around the report using thematic analysis. Most responses minimized the case, blamed the victim, or criticized platforms, while some defended her with feminist or paternalistic arguments. Findings highlight how online/o…
Online consent misread
Objective This study examined how the victim’s sexual interest and the endorsement of cyber-sexual violence myths influence perceptions of sexual consent, victim blaming, and perceived severity in incidents involving unsolicited genital images (i.e., ‘dickpics’). By integrating Sexual Script Theory and Attribution Theory , the research aimed to clarify how individual beliefs interact with situational cues in shaping judgments about online sexual …
“Liking You Doesn’t Mean I Want Your Dickpic”
The unsolicited receipt of genital images is a widespread form of cyber-sexual violence against women. While many women describe these experiences as humiliating or disgusting, others perceive them as harmless or even flattering. Building on a qualitative pilot study (92 women participants), we investigated how women evaluate and emotionally react to unsolicited genital images, and how these responses are influenced by prior sexual context and my…
Sexualized Substance Use and Psychosocial Vulnerabilities Among Sex Workers in Spain
Sexualized Substance Use (SSU) refers to the use of substances to intensify sexual experiences, often involving substances such as methamphetamine, mephedrone, or GHB/GBL. Using a multifaceted syndemic approach, this cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of SSU among sex workers in Spain, their motivations, health risks such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), substance related health consequences, and experiences of lifetime viole…
If I Didn't Ask for It, Don't Show It”
The unsolicited reception of sexual images is understudied issue with important consequences for women. Our research with 392 Spanish women aged 18-45 years examined the frequency and prevalence of unsolicited genital images, the relationship with the sender, and women's reactions. Results showed that 74% of participants had received such images, mainly from strangers (45.7%) or known men (21.9%). Reactions included blocking, telling friends, exp…
Subvert or Reinforce Status Quo? The Role of Men (vs. Women) as Feminist Joke Tellers and Feminist Identification on Collective Action
Feminist humor aims to redefine gender stereotypes, challenge sexism, and empower women. Previous research suggests that individual (i.e., feminist identity) and contextual factors (i.e., humor type and joke teller gender) play an important role in interpreting feminist humor as a tool to subvert sexism and its subsequent impact. Two studies were conducted to analyze the influence of participants’ feminist identification and the joke teller's gen…
(Cyber)Rape Culture
Cyber-sexual violence is a social and public health concern perpetuated by (cyber)rape culture. However, there are no measures to assess attitudes toward cyber-sexual violence. In this research, we developed and validated the Acceptance of Myths About Cyber-Sexual Violence (AMCYS) Scale in Spanish and English across three studies. In Study 1, we developed items through qualitative analyses of social reactions to cyber-sexual violence victims on X…
It’s Not Violence, It’s an Exaggerated Complaint”
Although prior research has shown that experiencing cyber-sexual violence is associated with a greater emotional impact, no study has analyzed whether myths about cyber-sexual violence could affect victims of cyber-sexual violence. Thus, we conducted two studies to analyze the impact of acceptance myths about cyber-sexual violence (AMCYS) on the relationship between cyber-sexual violence victimization and emotional impacts. In Study 1 ( N = 310),…
Differentiation of dispositions toward ridicule and being laughed at in their relationships to self-reported eye contact aversion
This investigation examines the associations of three dispositions toward ridicule and being laughed at with individuals’ self-reported aversion to making eye contact (EC) across different interpersonal scenarios. Data were obtained in a sample of 226 adults (53.5% women). Our results showed that the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia) and the joy in laughing at others (katagelasticism) were positively associated with the presence of subjecti…
Exposure to Feminist Humor and the Proclivity to Collective Action for Gender Equality
Previous research has pointed out that feminist humor or subversive humor against sexism is an important precursor to collective action for gender equality. This effect has been found contrasting subversive humor with neutral humor, however, to date, no study has explored the impact of the message format. Thus, we conducted two experiments to analyze the effect of exposure to a subversive humorous vignette against sexism (vs. subversive serious i…
