Anal fisting amongst gay men has been characterised as a risky form of sexual play, particularly for the bottoming (receptive) playmate. This view may be oversimplistic and fail to recognise how fist-bottoms ready themselves for fist-play through preparatory journeys of bottom training. This study explored how gay men who bottom in fist-play understand bottom training and how this understanding informs their personal sense of pleasure, risk, and safety. Unstructured individual interviews were conducted with 8 gay men who play as fist-bottoms. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted on the data, from which four main themes were developed: (1) training the body to play; (2) training for headspace; (3) training to understand pleasure; and (4) training by rules. Taken together, the findings highlight how fist-bottoms understand their bottom training as both a formative and transformative process that shapes their corporeal, psychological, erotic, and subcultural knowledge and skills to navigate play. Through bottom training, fist-bottoms explore and attune their understanding of what is safe and pleasurable, as well as riskier play.

男同性恋中的肛门拳交被认为是一种危险的性游戏形式,尤其是对下位(接受)玩伴而言。这种观点可能过于简单化,没有认识到拳交者是如何通过下体训练的准备过程为拳交做好准备的。本研究探讨了在拳交中垫底的男同性恋者如何理解垫底训练,以及这种理解如何影响他们个人的快感、风险和安全感。研究人员对 8 名进行拳底游戏的男同性恋者进行了非结构化个人访谈。我们对这些数据进行了归纳式主题分析,从中总结出四个主题:(1) 训练身体进行游戏;(2) 训练头部空间;(3) 训练理解快感;(4) 规则训练。总之,研究结果强调了拳头底裤如何将他们的底裤训练理解为一个形成和转变的过程,这个过程塑造了他们的身体、心理、情色和亚文化知识和技能,以驾驭游戏。通过底裤训练,拳头底裤们探索并调整了他们对什么是安全和愉悦的游戏以及什么是更危险的游戏的理解。

Women living with HIV are consistently under-represented in HIV clinical trials, including cure trials. Little is known about how cisgender women living with HIV in Australia perceive HIV cure research, their level of trust in research institutions/staff, and factors salient to participation in HIV cure trials. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women living with HIV and clinicians working with women living with HIV to investigate motivations and barriers to gender-equitable representation in HIV clinical research. Participant motivations for participation included altruistic desires to benefit younger women, and to optimise resulting interventions. Women living with HIV expressed optimism that a cure would dispel HIV-related stigma and brings about substantial material improvement to their lives. Reluctance to participate related to concerns regarding potential side-effects, antiretroviral treatment interruption, and impacts on fertility. Unfamiliarity with trials, confidentiality concerns and logistical difficulties were also cited. Lastly, onerous eligibility criteria, clinicians' assumptions about women's willingness and ability to meaningfully provide consent to participation were cited as barriers which could be addressed. Bolstering women's participation in HIV cure research requires consideration of factors relating to reproductive health, analytical treatment interruption, and recruitment. Engaging women living with HIV in trial design and promotion may help overcome these issues.

感染艾滋病毒的女性在艾滋病毒临床试验(包括治愈试验)中的代表性一直不足。关于澳大利亚感染艾滋病毒的顺性别女性如何看待艾滋病毒治愈研究、她们对研究机构/工作人员的信任程度以及参与艾滋病毒治愈试验的突出因素,人们知之甚少。我们对感染艾滋病病毒的女性患者和为女性患者服务的临床医生进行了半结构式访谈,以调查在艾滋病临床研究中实现性别平等的动机和障碍。参与者的参与动机包括使年轻女性受益的利他愿望,以及优化由此产生的干预措施。感染艾滋病毒的妇女乐观地认为,治愈艾滋病将消除与艾滋病毒有关的耻辱感,并给她们的生活带来实质性的改善。不愿意参与的原因是担心潜在的副作用、抗逆转录病毒治疗的中断以及对生育的影响。还有人提到对试验不熟悉、保密问题和后勤困难。最后,繁琐的资格标准、临床医生对妇女是否愿意和有能力有意义地同意参与试验的假设也被认为是可以解决的障碍。加强妇女对艾滋病治疗研究的参与需要考虑与生殖健康、分析性治疗中断和招募有关的因素。让感染艾滋病毒的妇女参与试验的设计和推广可能有助于克服这些问题。

This paper examines the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on memories and metaphors associated with the earlier AIDS epidemic. It argues that while previous research has focused on how HIV informs COVID-19, the reverse relationship has received insufficient attention. The authors propose a more comprehensive understanding of the issues, using insights from the sociology of memory. Experiences during COVID-19 not only reshape perceptions of HIV in the present but also transform how we remember the AIDS crisis of the past. We discuss the impact of these pandemics particularly for gay and bisexual men and their connected communities. Doing so underscores the co-construction of collective memories in the present, suggesting that COVID-19 has not only redefined our experience of HIV, but it has also reframed our understanding of the earlier AIDS crisis. We conclude by highlighting the potential for these transformations to be leveraged for empowerment, political action and change. Revisiting and reframing our memories of AIDS in the light of COVID-19 can open up new avenues for optimism and positive engagement.

本文探讨了 COVID-19 大流行对与早期艾滋病流行相关的记忆和隐喻的影响。文章认为,以往的研究主要关注艾滋病病毒如何影响 COVID-19,而对反向关系的关注却不够。作者利用记忆社会学的见解,提出了对这些问题更全面的理解。COVID-19 期间的经历不仅重塑了当下人们对 HIV 的看法,也改变了我们对过去艾滋病危机的记忆。我们特别讨论了这些流行病对男同性恋者、双性恋者及其相关社区的影响。这样做强调了当下集体记忆的共同构建,表明 COVID-19 不仅重新定义了我们对 HIV 的体验,而且还重新构建了我们对早期 AIDS 危机的理解。最后,我们强调了利用这些转变进行赋权、政治行动和变革的潜力。根据 COVID-19 重新审视和重塑我们对艾滋病的记忆,可以为乐观主义和积极的参与开辟新的途径。

This paper explores the processes of individual and collective subjectivation experienced by non-binary individuals living in contemporary Italy. Using qualitative methods, the study, which was conducted between July and September 2021, involved a sample of twenty-six young adults aged between eighteen and thirty years. Starting from participants' narratives, the thematic analysis revealed the significance of both physical and virtual support environments in the subjectivation process, taking into account the diverse micro-contexts in which people live. The study's findings underscore the continued need to challenge societal norms and structures that perpetuate discrimination against people who reject exclusive identification with the male or female gender and opt for more fluid and non-traditional definitions of gender identity.

本文探讨了生活在当代意大利的非二元个体所经历的个人和集体主体化过程。这项研究于 2021 年 7 月至 9 月间进行,采用定性方法,抽样调查了 26 名年龄在 18 岁至 30 岁之间的年轻人。主题分析从参与者的叙述入手,结合人们生活的不同微观背景,揭示了实体和虚拟支持环境在主体化过程中的重要性。研究结果强调,仍有必要挑战社会规范和结构,因为这些规范和结构使人们长期受到歧视,因为他们拒绝完全认同男性或女性的性别,而是选择更多变和非传统的性别认同定义。

Existing research on Latino cultural factors mainly focuses on gender and nationality, often overlooking sexual orientation and giving limited attention to the experiences of Latino sexual minority men in the United States of America (USA). This study addressed this gap by exploring how sexual minority men identify, describe and experience Latino cultural factors. Between April and December 2019, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 men (ages 18-40, 43% non-US-born) in the greater Miami, Florida area to explore their engagement in HIV prevention and behavioural health services. Secondary qualitative analysis examined five Latino cultural factors (personalismo, machismo, familismo, fatalismo and curanderismo), informed by the existing literature for initial coding and supplemented by the use of an inductive approach, yielding 14 subthemes. Findings revealed that although participants often described cultural factors in their traditional interpretations within the Latino community at large, they also highlighted unique experiences, particularly for relationship-oriented factors like personalismo, machismo and familismo. Sexual orientation stigma shaped participants' experiences of these cultural factors. Study findings enhance knowledge about Latino sexual minority men's lived experiences in the USA, underscoring how cultural factors are perceived both traditionally and uniquely, and emphasises the need for nuanced, culturally tailored assessments in future research.

现有关于拉美裔文化因素的研究主要集中在性别和国籍方面,往往忽略了性取向,对美利坚合众国(美国)拉美裔性少数群体男性的经历关注有限。本研究通过探讨性少数群体男性如何识别、描述和体验拉丁裔文化因素,填补了这一空白。2019 年 4 月至 12 月期间,研究人员对佛罗里达州大迈阿密地区的 28 名男性(18-40 岁,43% 非美国出生)进行了半结构式访谈,以探讨他们参与 HIV 预防和行为健康服务的情况。二次定性分析研究了五个拉丁裔文化因素(个人主义、大男子主义、家庭主义、宿命论和巫师主义),初步编码参考了现有文献,并使用归纳法进行补充,得出了 14 个次主题。研究结果表明,尽管参与者经常以拉丁裔社区的传统解释来描述文化因素,但他们也强调了自己的独特经历,尤其是以关系为导向的因素,如个人主义、大男子主义和家庭主义。性取向成见影响了参与者对这些文化因素的体验。研究结果增进了人们对美国拉丁裔性少数群体男性生活经历的了解,强调了人们是如何以传统和独特的方式看待文化因素的,并强调了在未来的研究中进行细致入微、符合文化特点的评估的必要性。

The significance of men's influence as partners in contraceptive decision-making and family size is often understated, particularly in patriarchal societies. Understanding men's experiences and perceptions of family planning is necessary to address women's unmet needs for contraception. This study examined men's involvement in contraceptive use and decision-making in the Busoga region of east Uganda. Twenty-four in-depth interviews were conducted with both male users and non-users of contraception living in urban and rural areas. Among participants, differences in preferred family size were influenced by competing norms valuing large families and economic wellbeing as reflections of men's role as a provider. Although the majority of interviewees were not opposed in principle to contraception, some men felt contraceptives undermined their own desire for a larger family. Men who supported family planning cited the economic benefits of smaller, healthier families and being able to fulfil their role as the primary breadwinner. Resistance to vasectomy and perceptions of condom use as protection against unwanted pregnancies and STIs/HIV in casual relationships, meant participants were unlikely to use male contraceptives. Efforts to increase contraceptive uptake among men should recognise the socio-cultural context of men's place within Ugandan society, to design reproductive health initiatives that engage men effectively.

作为避孕决策和家庭规模的合作伙伴,男性的影响力往往被低估,尤其是在父权制社会。要解决妇女避孕需求得不到满足的问题,就必须了解男性在计划生育方面的经验和看法。本研究考察了乌干达东部布索加地区男性参与避孕药具使用和决策的情况。研究人员对居住在城市和农村地区的男性避孕药具使用者和非使用者进行了 24 次深入访谈。在参与者中,家庭规模偏好的差异受到了相互竞争的规范的影响,这些规范重视大家庭和经济福利,认为它们反映了男性作为供养者的角色。尽管大多数受访者原则上并不反对避孕,但有些男性认为避孕药具损害了他们对大家庭的渴望。支持计划生育的男性则提到了小家庭、更健康的家庭以及能够履行主要养家糊口者角色所带来的经济利益。对输精管结扎术的抵制,以及将使用避孕套作为在偶然关系中防止意外怀孕和性传播疾病/艾滋病毒的保护措施的观念,意味着参与者不太可能使用男性避孕药具。在努力提高男性避孕率的过程中,应认识到男性在乌干达社会中的社会文化背景,从而设计出能让男性有效参与的生殖健康计划。

Adolescent parents and their offspring experience worse health outcomes throughout the life course. While over 90% of adolescent births occur in low- and middle-income countries, data from many such countries are lacking, particularly from fathers. This qualitative study conducted in Lima, Peru characterises the experience of adolescent fathers and identifies potential intervention targets. Interviews with young fathers and the mothers of their children were coded and analysed using thematic analysis and a grounded theory approach. Factors impacting their experience included family support, changes in their relationship with their partner, gender dynamics, and financial pressure. The study identified family and couple conflict, gendered expectations, and the father's personal development as potential intervention targets. Further research is needed to develop interventions that effectively engage adolescent fathers in low- and middle-income countries such as Peru, and support their transition to fatherhood.

青少年父母及其后代在整个生命过程中的健康状况都较差。虽然 90% 以上的青少年生育发生在中低收入国家,但许多此类国家都缺乏相关数据,尤其是来自父亲的数据。这项在秘鲁利马开展的定性研究描述了青少年父亲的经历,并确定了潜在的干预目标。对年轻父亲及其子女母亲的访谈进行了编码,并采用主题分析和基础理论方法进行了分析。影响他们经历的因素包括家庭支持、与伴侣关系的变化、性别动态和经济压力。研究发现,家庭和夫妻冲突、性别期望以及父亲的个人发展是潜在的干预目标。需要进一步开展研究,以制定干预措施,有效地吸引秘鲁等中低收入国家的青少年父亲参与进来,并支持他们向父亲角色过渡。

Many studies have documented the effect that colonisation has had on takatāpui, that is, Māori (the Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) with diverse gender identities, sex characteristics and sexualities. In this paper, we explore whether current Aotearoa New Zealand (hereafter Aotearoa) mental health policies meet the needs of takatāpui. We identified five mental health policy needs, informed by the literature. We then explored policy documents from government ministries, district health boards and non-government organisations to see the extent to which policy met these needs. Four themes were present in the literature analysed: an overall lack of acknowledgment of takatāpui and intersectionality; promising engagement with the needs of takatāpui by NGOs; symbolic commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi; and some limited engagement with Māori health models. The findings show promise in some areas but demonstrate a lack of engagement by policy to meet the needs of takatāpui.
许多研究记录了殖民化对 takatāpui 的影响,takatāpui 是指具有不同性别认同、性特征和性取向的毛利人(新西兰土著人)。在本文中,我们探讨了当前新西兰奥特亚罗瓦(以下简称奥特亚罗瓦)的心理健康政策是否满足takatāpui的需求。根据文献资料,我们确定了五种心理健康政策需求。然后,我们研究了来自政府部门、地区卫生委员会和非政府组织的政策文件,以了解政策在多大程度上满足了这些需求。在分析的文献中,我们发现了四个主题:总体上缺乏对 "takatāpui "和交叉性的认识;非政府组织对 "takatāpui "需求的参与前景良好;对 "Te Tiriti o Waitangi "的象征性承诺;以及对毛利人健康模式的有限参与。研究结果表明,在某些领域有希望,但在满足takatāpui的需要方面缺乏政策参与。

Emotional intimacy is key to intimate partner relationship quality and satisfaction. For sexual minority men, queer and feminist theorists consistently link emotional intimacy to diverse sexual practices and partnership dynamics formulated within the relationship. This Photovoice study adds to those insights by drawing on individual photovoice interviews with 16 sexual minority men to describe participant's experiences of, and strategies for emotional intimacy in their intimate relationships. Analysis revealed three distinct yet entwined themes: (i) embracing vulnerabilities to drive self-acceptance; (ii) building relationality with partners; and (iii) securing connections with family, friends and community. By embracing vulnerabilities to drive self-acceptance, participants spoke to embodied courage and autonomy as key components for addressing wide-ranging emotional intimacy challenges in their relationships. In theme two, building relationality with partners, participants described how empathy, trust and reciprocity underpinned collaborative work to foster emotional intimacy. Lastly, in securing connections with family, friends and community, acceptance and inclusion were key to participants' sense of belonging and legitimacy which aided their emotional intimacy with partners. The findings provide guidance for tailored programmatic efforts to assist sexual minority men build intimate relationships.

情感亲密是亲密伴侣关系质量和满意度的关键。对于性少数群体男性而言,同性恋和女权主义理论家始终将情感亲密性与关系中形成的各种性行为和伴侣关系动态联系在一起。这项 "摄影选择 "研究通过对 16 名性少数群体男性的个人摄影选择访谈,描述了参与者在亲密关系中的情感亲密体验和策略,从而进一步丰富了这些见解。分析揭示了三个截然不同但又相互交织的主题:(i) 拥抱脆弱,促进自我接纳;(ii) 与伴侣建立关系;(iii) 确保与家人、朋友和社区的联系。通过拥抱脆弱来推动自我接纳,参与者谈到了体现的勇气和自主性是解决他们关系中广泛的情感亲密挑战的关键组成部分。在主题二 "与伙伴建立关系 "中,参与者描述了如何通过移情、信任和互惠来促进情感亲密。最后,在确保与家人、朋友和社区的联系方面,接纳和包容是参与者产生归属感和合法感的关键,这有助于他们与伴侣之间的情感亲密。研究结果为帮助性少数群体男性建立亲密关系的有针对性的计划工作提供了指导。

Disabled women with significant impairments (DWSI) are not adequately recognised within feminist disability studies. They face stigma, carnal taboos, and systemic exclusion from economies of desire and sexuality. Their voices are seldom heard, and their stories, when captured, are whitewashed. There is an urgent need for these women to gain voice and visibility as a unique category within the political spectrum of women with disabilities so that their unique challenges can be identified and their rights restored. In-depth research aimed at spotlighting their unique challenges and vulnerabilities using 'raw narratives' as a novel method, exposed their tabooed and otherwise censored embodied experiences. This paper presents a candid case study of one such woman in India using narrative inquiry and autoethnography. Carol Thomas' notion of 'impairment effects' and Margrit Shildrick's concept of 'embodied precarity' are used to highlight how impairment effects, coupled with inadequate care infrastructure in India, force disabled women with significant impairments into chronic states of dependency and precarity, leading to an internalised loss of self-worth and agency. The wider use of raw narratives as a lens to probe unspoken elements of human experience and further study of DWSI as a community could enrich feminist disability studies.
在女权主义残疾研究中,有重大缺陷的残疾妇女(DWSI)没有得到充分的认可。她们面临着耻辱、肉欲禁忌,以及被系统性地排斥在欲望和性经济之外。她们的声音很少被听到,她们的故事即使被记录下来,也会被粉饰。这些妇女迫切需要作为残疾妇女政治光谱中的一个独特类别获得发言权和能见度,这样才能发现她们所面临的独特挑战并恢复她们的权利。利用 "原始叙事 "这一新颖的方法进行的深入研究旨在揭示她们所面临的独特挑战和脆弱性,从而揭示她们的禁忌和被审查的经历。本文采用叙事调查和自述的方法,对印度的一位妇女进行了坦率的个案研究。卡罗尔-托马斯(Carol Thomas)的 "损伤效应 "概念和玛格丽特-希尔德里克(Margrit Shildrick)的 "体现的不稳定性 "概念被用来强调损伤效应如何与印度不完善的护理基础设施相结合,迫使有严重损伤的残疾妇女陷入长期依赖和不稳定的状态,从而导致自我价值和能动性的内在化丧失。更广泛地使用原始叙事作为探究人类经历中不为人知的因素的视角,并将残疾妇女和社会工作者作为一个群体进行进一步研究,可以丰富女性主义残疾研究。
