Attitudes toward fetal development-based abortion bans in the United States
Previous research indicates that abortion attitudes may vary across different contexts, such as the reason for abortion and gestational age of the pregnancy. To expand on these findings, we examined abortion attitudes as they pertain to fetal development-based bans. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we assessed correlates of support and opposition to these types of bans and contextualized our quantitative findings by analyzing …
Definitions of sex and intimacy among gender and sexual minoritised groups in urban India
Understandings of sex and intimacy carry important implications for individuals' behaviours and health. In many research studies, sex is narrowly defined as penile-vaginal intercourse, which may exclude the experiences of sexual and gender minoritised individuals. Likewise, sexual intimacy, or intimacy related to sexual experience between two or more people, is under-researched. Even less is known about how sexual and gender minoritised individua…
The Influences of Stigma on Sexuality among Sexual and Gender Minoritized Individuals in Urban India
Indian sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) individuals face marginalization and discrimination. Objectives: This study examines stigma's effects on sexuality among SGM individuals in urban India.

Family Formation Goals Among Sexual and Gender Minority Individuals in Urban India
Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) individuals’ (nonheterosexual or noncisgender) desires and intentions to form families have been under‐researched. Further, research on family formation among SGM individuals is even more scant in India. Family formation, a significant milestone for many individuals, has important implications for overall health. Using data from interviews (n=25) and focus group discussions (8 participants) with SGM individuals in…

Lifetime behavioral history was also compared to each individual's personal definition of sex. Asexual, demisexual, and graysexual groups defined sex similarly. A…

Physical Attractiveness and Sex in Judgments About Perceived Sexually Promiscuous Others 1
This study investigated sex and physical attractiveness in evaluations of perceived promiscuous persons. Evidence for the double standard was expected, such that men would rate a promiscuous woman less favorably than women would rate a promiscuous man. University students (25 women and 24 men) viewed a photograph of an attractive or unattractive target and read fictitious information, including promiscuous sexual behavior, about the target. Analy…
