It's someone who means a lot to me, and who means even more to mom
Polyamory is a relationship style that allows individuals to develop multiple romantic relationships simultaneously. Although studies show that many polyamorous people have children, very little is known about the experiences of children growing up in such a family context. Based on 18 semi-structured interviews with Canadian children living with polyamorous parents, we examined the level of emotional closeness they felt towards their parents' ro…
Family and consensual non-monogamy
ObjectiveThis study explores the perspectives of parents in open or polyamorous relationships with regards to challenges and benefits of practicing consensual non-monogamy (CNM).BackgroundStudies show that about one in five people, both in Canada and the United States, have been involved in a CNM relationship in their lifetime, a proportion that is even higher among today's young adults. While we know that many of those people have children, litt…
Les représentations de la non-monogamie consensuelle
Malgré l’injonction culturelle à la monogamie dans les sociétés occidentales, une proportion non négligeable d’individus rapporte avoir déjà entretenu des relations non monogames consensuelles (NMC). Qu’en est-il de l’acceptation sociale de ces modèles relationnels non traditionnels ? À travers 34 entrevues semi-dirigées menées auprès de parents canadiens polyamoureux ou en couple ouvert et de leurs partenaires, nous explorons les représentations…
Between Exploration, Pleasure, and Performance
Pharmaceutical marketing campaigns and biomedical discourses tend to oppose two types of sexual enhancement medication (SEM) use. While "therapeutic" use is associated with older heterosexual men in committed relationships, "recreational" use is associated with young gay men, and with the context of casual sex. However, little is known about the real objectives of older men (especially older gay men) who use SEM or the contexts in which they use …
Parentalité et pérennité des relations intimes hypogamiques en termes d’âge1
Les enjeux relatifs à la parentalité – telles les capacités reproductives de la femme ou la capacité de l’homme à assurer le confort matériel de sa famille – sont fréquemment présentés comme des facteurs influençant les individus à choisir une relation intime où l’homme est plus âgé que la femme. Toutefois, peu de chercheurs se sont intéressés aux expériences vécues des individus entretenant des relations intimes hypogamiques en termes d’âge – so…
Je ne suis pas une cougar! »
Apparu dans le langage populaire il y a environ 20 ans, le terme « cougar » est couramment employé pour décrire les femmes qui entretiennent des relations intimes avec un ou des hommes plus jeunes qu’elles. À l’aide de 55 entrevues semi-dirigées menées auprès de femmes âgées de 30 à 60 ans et ayant récemment eu un ou des partenaires intimes plus jeunes, l’auteure explore la façon dont ces femmes imaginent la « cougar » et les raisons pour lesquel…
Sleeping With Younger Men
Influenced by cultural representations of "cougars," society commonly imagines women who date younger men as challenging some of the gendered expectations regarding appropriate sexual desire and behavior. Based on 55 semistructured interviews with women ages 30 to 60 who date younger men, I explore how having younger male partners relates to women's desire and ability to reproduce/disrupt the traditional cultural script for heterosexual sex. I fo…
They're the Ones Chasing the Cougar
Commonly referred to as 'cougars,' women who date younger men are often imagined as sexually assertive women who actively seek out and seduce younger men, therefore challenging major pillars of the traditional heterosexual dating script. Drawing on 55 semi-structured interviews with women aged 30-60 who date younger men, I explore the relationship formation process women experienced with younger men with the intent of shedding light on women's be…
The "Cougar" Phenomenon
Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, the authors considered the prevalence of the "cougar" phenomenon and the characteristics of middle-aged women who reported having sexual relationships with younger men in the past 12 months. They found that roughly 13% of sexually active women between ages 35 and 44 had slept with a man who was at least 5 years younger. Contrary to conventional assumptions, the results show that women with low…
I Don't Know If She Is Bisexual or If She Just Wants to Get Attention”
Although homophobia seems to be on the decline in North America, there seems to be somewhat conflicting academic data on the acceptance of bisexuality as a legitimate form of sexuality and identity. This article explores how bisexuality is represented in emerging adults' discourses about sexuality. More specifically, the authors highlight four mechanisms through which their participants invisibilize bisexuality: (1) ignoring bisexuality, (2) depi…
