Turn-on fluidity and its relationship with psychological and sexual wellbeing
What happens when you hold back? A reflexive thematic analysis of a semen retention Reddit forum
Dhāt syndrome, a culture-bound syndrome characterised by distress over semen loss, has been documented in South Asian contexts; our findings suggest that aspects of these semen-loss anxieties are now echoed in Western communities online. Semen retention, promoted on social media platforms such as Reddit, is framed by users as enhancing vitality, masculinity, and spiritual development while resisting societal decline. This study examined how semen…
Genitopelvic Pain
Limited genitopelvic pain research has focused on racially/ethnically, sexually, and gender/sex minoritized samples despite its high prevalence among these groups. The aim of this scoping review was to examine genitopelvic pain research published on racially/ethnically, sexually, and gender/sex minoritized samples. After removal of duplicates, the abstracts of 1,330 articles were screened, and 974 were excluded. Of 356 remaining studies, 227 were…

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the HBI-19 Scale in a Sample of Women with Persistent Genital Arousal Symptoms
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder/Genito-Pelvic Dysesthesia (PGAD/GPD) is a highly distressing, yet poorly understood health concern characterized by persistent, unwanted, and unpleasant genital arousal sensations in the absence of psychological arousal and desire. PGAD/GPD symptoms can be reduced by engaging in frequent sexual behaviors, meaning that hypersexual behavior may be present as a feature of PGAD/GPD in some cases. Given this associa…
Pain characteristics, sexual script flexibility, and penetration control cognitions in those experiencing anodyspareunia
Anodyspareunia is the experience of recurrent or persistent anal pain during receptive anal penetration. We examined pain characteristics and the role of control cognitions and sexual flexibility in those with anodyspareunia. We recruited two online convenience samples (N = 96, N = 123) of individuals who experienced pain during receptive anal penetration. Those with anodyspareunia reported pain, on average, during 44% of penetrative activity occ…
Where Does the “B” Belong
Bisexuality remains a stereotyped sexual identity in which bisexuals face prejudice from both gay/lesbian and heterosexual populations. Some bisexual individuals internalize society’s negative attitudes, resulting in an experience of self-stigma. Consequently, many bisexual individuals report a reduced sense of belonging. The current study explored whether self-stigma mediates the association between experiences of anti-bisexual prejudice and a s…

Transgender-specific factors related to healthcare professional students’ engagement in affirmative practice with LGBTQ+ clients
Transgender individuals face many barriers to healthcare access, including providers’ lack of knowledge on transgender-specific healthcare needs. Physicians and medical students report a lack of training on and low confidence with transgender-related healthcare. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of self-efficacy and beliefs regarding affirmative practice for counsellors’ engagement in affirmative practice with LGBTQ+ clients. The …
Communication patterns in women with provoked vestibulodynia and their partners
Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a recurrent vulvovaginal pain condition that has potentially negative consequences for women and their partners’ sexual functioning and overall quality of life. Research has found that greater observed empathic responses during conversations about the impact of vulvodynia are associated with greater relational and sexual satisfaction. However, observed self-disclosure was unrelated to relational or sexual satisfac…
Picking up good vibrations
Vibrator use is thought to be associated with positive sexual functioning for women with female or male partners. Vibrator use that is discrepant across contexts (i.e. the individual uses a vibrator in solitary but not partnered contexts), however, has only been examined in women with female partners. Results indicate that women who were discrepant reported lower sexual functioning than women who were non-discrepant (i.e. those who use a vibrator…

Support processes in same- and mixed-sex relationships
Research has established that social support for relationships is an important predictor of well-being. However, the underlying assumption that social support specifically for relationships is a separate construct from general social support has not been properly tested empirically, nor has the question of whether support processes vary by source (friends vs. family). The current study (N = 1,281) used confirmatory factor analysis and structural …
Not All Orgasms Were Created Equal
Which sexual activities result in the most frequent and most satisfying orgasms for men and women in same- and mixed-sex relationships? The current study utilized a convenience sample of 806 participants who completed an online survey concerning the types of sexual activities through which they experience orgasms. Participants indicated how frequently they reached orgasm, how satisfied they were from orgasms resulting from 14 sexual activities, a…
Effects of Genital Response Measurement Device and Stimulus Characteristics on Sexual Concordance in Women
Investigations of sexual concordance suggest that, on average, women exhibit a low, positive correlation between their subjective sexual arousal and genital response. However, this relationship appears to be stronger, on average, when genital response is measured via the external tissues of the vulva than within the vagina walls. Given the methodological variations, such as stimulus content and duration, in studies of vulvar and vaginal concordan…
A Systematic Review of Relationship Adjustment and Sexual Satisfaction among Women with Provoked Vestibulodynia
The Relationship between Female Sexual Arousal and Response Bias in Women with and without Provoked Vestibulodynia
Smaller correlations have typically been found between genital and subjective sexual arousal in female versus male samples. This study evaluated the association between response bias and the relationship between genital and subjective arousal (i.e., concordance) in women with (n = 20) and without (n = 21) provoked vestibulodynia. Participants (M = 21.27 years, SD = 2.27) underwent blood flow imaging via a laser Doppler imager to assess genital re…
