AbstractThe objective of the present study was to examine the differences in some variables of psychological (depression, anxiety, physical self-esteem) and psychosexual (self-esteem as a sexual partner, satisfaction with sexual life, sexual preoccupation) adjustment in a sample of university students, as a function of gender, and divided into three groups: (1) those who had a stable partner; (2) those who did not have a stable partner but did have casual sexual relations; and (3) those who had neither a stable partner nor casual relationships. Participants were 980 students from a mid-size Spanish university, of both sexes (71.3% women, 28.7% men), aged between 18 and 26 years (M = 20.87, SD = 1.88), who completed an online battery of questionnaires. Differences were found in psychological and psychosexual adjustment variables depending on the reference group and both in men and women. Some of these differences were explained by having a partner and others by having sexual relations, regardless of the partner with whom they had sex. These differences and their impact on young people’s psychological adjustment and wellness should be taken into account when designing sexual health prevention and promotion programs.Keywords: Sexual relationshipsromantic partnercasual sexpsychosocial and psychosexual adjustmentuniversity students Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Government of Spain, under grant PGC2018-097086-A-I00; and Government of Aragon (Department of Science, University and Knowledge Society).

AbstractObjectives Sexualized Drug Use (SDU) consists of using any drug purposely before or during sex with the intent of modifying sex experiences. SDU is especially practiced among Gay and Bisexual Men who have Sex with Men (GBMSM). This study aims to review the relevant literature to identify and summarize the reasons reported by GBMSM to engage in SDU.Methods A systematic review of the literature using PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO, comprising qualitative and quantitative papers published between 2010 and 2022, was conducted with a narrative synthesis of the findings. PRISMA guidelines were followed.Results Our search identified 1400 publications, of which 23 were included. Reasons to engage in SDU were aggregated as follows: (1) Enhancing sexual sensations and performance, (2) Achieving hedonic mental and emotional states, (3) Tackling negative thoughts and feelings, and (4) Social motivations. Different sample methods and ways of asking for motivations may limit the internal validity of these conclusions.Conclusion Both individual and social factors are involved in the decision to engage in SDU. SDU practices should not be medicalized, however therapeutic support if needed should provide multidisciplinary, pleasure-centered, harm-reducing care interventions, specifically designed for these minorities of GBMSM.Keywords: Sexualized drug usechemsexslamsexmen who have sex with menmotivations Disclosure statementThe authors report no conflicts of interest.

目的性化用药(sexalized Drug Use, SDU)是指在性行为前或性行为中故意使用药物以改变性体验的行为。SDU尤其在男同性恋和双性恋男性(GBMSM)中实施。本研究旨在回顾相关文献，找出并总结GBMSM从事SDU的原因。方法系统检索PubMed/Medline、Scopus、Google Scholar和PsycINFO等网站2010 - 2022年间发表的定性和定量论文，并对结果进行叙述性综合分析。遵循PRISMA准则。结果我们检索到1400篇文献，其中23篇被收录。参与性行为的原因可归纳为:(1)增强性感觉和性表现;(2)获得享乐的精神和情绪状态;(3)克服消极的思想和情绪;(4)社会动机。不同的样本方法和询问动机的方式可能会限制这些结论的内部有效性。结论个体因素和社会因素共同影响了患者选择SDU的决定。SDU的实践不应该被医学化，但是如果需要的话，治疗支持应该提供多学科的、以快乐为中心的、减少伤害的护理干预，专门为这些GBMSM的少数群体设计。关键词:性化吸毒化学性行为男男性行为动机披露声明作者报告无利益冲突。作者独自负责论文的内容和写作。其他信息资金作者报告没有与本文所述工作相关的资金。

AbstractIntroduction: Mobile dating apps emerged with the development of technology, for example, Blued in China, becoming a new risk field for gay men in the AIDS era. Users use social apps to chat online and date offline to achieve the satisfaction of lust or sexual practice, but the risk of AID looms over the whole process of using apps. Methods: Nineteen interviewees were invited to participate in this study, which included gay men who were using or had used Blued. The content of the semi-structured interviews focused on the relationship between gay social apps and HIV risk. Results: The study finds Blued interweaved with sex, risk, and stigma. Blued is sexualized due to sexual intentions and practices. There is also a sexual stratification of risk with Blued and its users based on socioeconomic factors. Users experience a dilemma between pursuing sex while being concerned about latent risk within a context of stigmatization. Conclusions: Blued is sexualized in terms of the process of stimulating sexual gratification and facilitating sexual practices. The experience of Blued is an example of sexual stratification, and a structure of desire based on app users and app uses. Furthermore, the social stigma against men who have sex with men is transferred to Blued, which bears the stigma of “AIDS-Blued” with a dual stigma—HIV-related and homosexual stigma. However, with the authorized approval of Blued in public health, Blued could play an essential role in HIV/AIDS prevention and control.Keywords: BluedsexHIV/AIDSriskstigma NotesAcknowledgmentsThe author would like to thank all participants for their contributions to the study and thank the anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful and constructive comments on the article.Notes1 This report can be found at: https://weekly.caixin.com/2019-01-04/101366501.html.2 Retrived from: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Global-Acceptance-Index-LGBTI-Nov-2021.pdf3 Users usually receive a message from Blued, saying “healthy dating, HIV prevention, keeping privacy, and avoiding property damage” triggered by sensitive words and pictures.4 In fact, I followed the ethical standards, and they were not real family names of my interviewees to avoid any disclosure.5 Retrived from: https://weekly.caixin.com/2019-01-04/101366501.html.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.

【摘要】简介:随着科技的发展，手机交友软件应运而生，如中国的Blued，成为艾滋病时代男同性恋者的一个新的风险领域。用户使用社交应用在线聊天和离线约会，以满足欲望或性行为，但艾滋病的风险笼罩在使用应用的整个过程中。方法:邀请19名受访者参与本研究，其中包括正在使用或曾经使用Blued的男同性恋者。半结构化访谈的内容主要集中在同性恋社交应用与艾滋病风险之间的关系上。结果:研究发现Blued与性、风险和耻辱交织在一起。Blued是由于性意图和性行为而被性化的。基于社会经济因素，Blued及其用户的风险也存在性别分层。用户在追求性行为的同时，又会在污名化的背景下担心潜在的风险。结论:Blued在刺激性满足和促进性行为的过程中被性化了。Blued的经历是性别分层的一个例子，是基于应用用户和应用用途的欲望结构。此外，社会对男男性行为的耻辱感被转移到Blued身上，Blued背负着“AIDS-Blued”的耻辱感，带有hiv相关和同性恋的双重耻辱感。然而，随着Blued在公共卫生领域的授权批准，Blued可以在艾滋病毒/艾滋病的预防和控制中发挥重要作用。作者感谢所有参与者对研究的贡献，并感谢匿名审稿人对文章的周到和建设性意见。注1:该报告可在:https://weekly.caixin.com/2019-01-04/101366501.html.2检索自:https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Global-Acceptance-Index-LGBTI-Nov-2021.pdf3用户通常会收到Blued的信息，由敏感的文字和图片触发“健康约会，预防艾滋病，保护隐私，避免财产损失”事实上，我遵循了道德标准，他们都不是我的受访者的真实姓氏，以避免任何泄露检索自:https://weekly.caixin.com/2019-01-04/101366501.html.Additional informationfunding作者报告没有与本文所述工作相关的资金。

AbstractObjectives This study aimed to investigate the moderating role of sexual attitudes in the association between online sexual activity (OSA) and problematic pornography use (PPU) in the Chinese context. Specifically, we examined whether incongruence stemming from attitudes (i.e., disapproval of nonmarital and casual sex but engaging in OSA) amplifies the perception of PPU.Methods We recruited two samples of Chinese men, one from the community (N1 = 525) and the other comprising help-seeking individuals (N2 = 578).Results Sexual attitudes moderate the relationship between OSA and PPU in both samples, with the predictive influence of OSA on PPU weakening among individuals with a relatively permissive attitude (scored one SD above the mean of sexual attitudes), and strengthened among individuals with a relatively conservative attitude (scored one SD below the mean of sexual attitudes).Conclusions In the conservative sexual cultural context of China, a relatively conservative sexual attitude might strengthen the association between OSA and PPU.Keywords: Online sexual activity (OSA)problematic pornography use (PPU)sexual attitudesconservative cultural context Institutional Review Board StatementThe study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee of Department of Applied Psychology, Fuzhou University (protocol code: 20220105).Declaration of interestThe authors report no conflicts of interest.

摘要:目的探讨性态度在中国网络性活动(OSA)与问题色情使用(PPU)之间的调节作用。具体来说，我们研究了源于态度的不一致(即不赞成非婚性行为和随意性行为，但参与OSA)是否会放大PPU的感知。结果性态度调节了两个样本中OSA与PPU之间的关系，态度相对宽松的个体(高于性态度平均值1个标准差)OSA对PPU的预测作用减弱，态度相对保守的个体(低于性态度平均值1个标准差)OSA对PPU的预测作用增强。结论在中国保守的性文化背景下，相对保守的性态度可能会加强OSA与PPU的关系。关键词:网络性行为(OSA)问题色情使用(PPU)性态度保守文化背景机构审查委员会声明本研究依据赫尔辛基宣言进行，并经福州大学应用心理学系伦理委员会批准(协议代码:20220105)。利益声明作者报告无利益冲突。作者独自负责论文的内容和写作。数据可用性声明本研究中提供的数据可向通讯作者索取。本研究得到国家社会科学基金资助[批准号:19BSH117]。

Objective: To determine individual- and country-level factors associated with self-reported changes in solo and partnered sexual behaviors in an international sample of adults during COVID-19.

Methods: Data were from the International Sexual Health And REproductive Health during COVID-19 study (I-SHARE)-a cross-sectional, multi-country study (N = 26 countries) assessing adult (N = 19,654) sexual/reproductive health before and during the first wave of COVID-19. We examined self-reported changes (three-point scale: decreased, no change, increased) in solo masturbation, hugging/holding hands/cuddling with a partner, sex with a primary partner, sex with a casual partner, sexting with a partner, viewing sexually explicit media and partnered cybersex. Ordinal regression assessed the impact of individual (age, gender- and sexual-identity, romantic partnership status, employment and income stability, household change and content, mental well-being, changes in alcohol use, and changes in marijuana use) and country-level (e.g., Oxford Stringency Index, Human Development Index, and the Palma Ratio) factors on behavior change.

Results: The most common behavior to increase was hugging, kissing, or cuddling with a partner (21.5%), and the most common behavior to decrease was sex with a main partner (36.7%). Household factors like job/income instability and having children over the age of 12 years were significantly associated with decreased affectionate and sexual partnered sexual behaviors; more frequent substance use was linked to significantly increased solo, partnered, and virtual sexual behaviors.

Conclusions: Understanding changes in sexual behaviors-as well as the factors that make changes more or less likely among adults around the world-are important to ensure adequate sexual health support development for future public health emergencies.

摘要目的确定新冠肺炎期间国际成人样本中与自我报告的单独性行为和伴侣性行为变化相关的个人和国家层面因素。方法数据来自新冠肺炎期间的国际性健康和生殖健康研究（I-SHARE），这是一项跨部门的多国研究（N = 26个国家）评估成人（N = 19654）在第一波新冠肺炎之前和期间的性/生殖健康。我们检查了个人手淫、与伴侣拥抱/牵手/拥抱、与主要伴侣发生性关系、与临时伴侣发生性行为、与伴侣发性短信、观看色情媒体和伴侣网络性行为的自我报告变化（三分制：减少、无变化、增加）。有序回归评估了个人（年龄、性别和性认同、浪漫伴侣关系、就业和收入稳定性、家庭变化和内容、心理健康、饮酒变化和大麻使用变化）和国家水平（如牛津严格指数、人类发展指数和帕尔马比率）因素对行为变化的影响。结果增加的最常见行为是拥抱、亲吻或与伴侣拥抱（21.5%），减少的最常见的行为是与主要伴侣发生性关系（36.7%）年龄与深情和性伴侣性行为的减少显著相关；更频繁的药物使用与显著增加的单独性行为、伴侣性行为和虚拟性行为有关。结论了解性行为的变化，以及使世界各地成年人或多或少发生变化的因素，对于确保为未来的公共卫生紧急情况提供足够的性健康支持至关重要。

Pharmacological Treatments for Localized Provoked Vulvodynia: A Scoping Review. 局部诱发性外阴炎的药理学治疗：范围界定综述

IF 2.2 4区医学 Q2 PSYCHOLOGY, CLINICAL

International Journal of Sexual Health

Introduction: Localized provoked vulvodynia (LPV) is a chronic pain condition without an identifiable cause that is localized to a portion of the vulva and provoked by pressure or touch. LPV is a commonly occurring but poorly understood condition lacking consensus on management.

Method: This scoping review used Arksey and O'Malley's approach to identify and evaluate literature published between 2010 and 2023 that addressed the question: What is the current evidence on the efficacy or effectiveness of pharmacological treatments in the management of LPV?

Results: This review evaluated 18 papers reporting on the efficacy or effectiveness of oral, topical, and injectable medications. Seven of the studies were randomized controlled trials. Oral gabapentin and oral desipramine showed some improvement in sexual function compared to placebo. Small sample sizes and methodological issues limited confidence in interpreting findings. Pain was reduced in descriptive studies of tricyclic antidepressants, milnacipran, injectable anesthetics, and botulinum toxin. Where pain did not improve with treatment, some oral medications improved participants' mood and sexual function. Some topical agents may be effective in reducing peripherally mediated neuropathic pain. Botulinum toxin was the most well-studied injectable but yielded mixed outcomes related to pain, quality of life, and sexual function.

Conclusion: There is a lack of convincing evidence to draw conclusions about the efficacy or effectiveness of pharmacological therapies for LPV. The breadth of therapies for treating LPV warrants the development of evidence-based, consensus guidelines for measuring treatment outcomes and improving comparisons across studies. Recommendations for research include addressing methodological shortcomings and diversifying the participant pool to increase the generalizability of findings.

局部性外阴痛(LPV)是一种慢性疼痛状况，没有明确的原因，定位于外阴的一部分，由压力或触摸引起。LPV是一种常见病，但缺乏对管理的共识。方法:本综述使用Arksey和O 'Malley的方法来识别和评估2010年至2023年间发表的文献，这些文献解决了以下问题:目前有哪些证据表明药物治疗在LPV管理中的疗效或有效性?结果本综述评价了18篇关于口服、外用和注射药物疗效的文献。其中7项研究是随机对照试验。与安慰剂相比，口服加巴喷丁和口服地西帕明对性功能有一定改善。小样本量和方法学问题限制了对解释结果的信心。在三环抗抑郁药、米那西普兰、注射麻醉剂和肉毒杆菌毒素的描述性研究中，疼痛减轻。在疼痛没有随着治疗而改善的地方，一些口服药物改善了参与者的情绪和性功能。一些局部药物可能有效地减少周围介导的神经性疼痛。肉毒杆菌毒素是研究最充分的注射药物，但与疼痛、生活质量和性功能相关的结果不一。结论目前缺乏令人信服的证据来得出关于LPV药物治疗的疗效或有效性的结论。治疗LPV的治疗方法的广度保证了以证据为基础的共识指南的发展，以衡量治疗结果和改善研究间的比较。对研究的建议包括解决方法上的缺点和使参与者多样化，以增加研究结果的普遍性。

Objective: Sexual wellbeing is an important aspect of quality-of-life. In transgender individuals who seek gender affirming treatment, various aspects of sexuality have been assessed. However, not much is known on how transgender individuals themselves perceive sexual wellbeing. This study aims to explore the perception of sexual wellbeing in transgender-individuals (an emic-perspective).

Methods: To explore sexual wellbeing from an emic perspective, qualitative interviews with transgender individuals were conducted, recorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive coding and thematic analysis were used to assess topics and themes pertaining to sexual wellbeing.

Results: Based on interviews wih15 participants (19-74 years) with diverse self-identified genders, four main themes, relating to sexual wellbeing were derived: (1) given description of sexual wellbeing, (2) conditions for sexual wellbeing, (3) factors affecting sexual wellbeing, and (4) experienced sexual wellbeing.

Conclusion: Positive experiences, feeling comfortable with body/self, intimacy, acceptation and communication with partner appeared helpful to overcome hurdles and experience sexual wellbeing.

目的性健康是生活质量的一个重要方面。对于寻求性别肯定治疗的变性人，已经对其性生活的各个方面进行了评估。然而，人们对变性人自身如何看待性健康却知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨变性人对性健康的看法（情感视角）：为了从情感角度探索性幸福，我们对变性人进行了定性访谈，并逐字记录和转录。采用归纳编码和主题分析法来评估与性健康有关的话题和主题：根据对 15 名自我认同性别不同的参与者（19-74 岁）的访谈，得出了与性健康相关的四个主要主题：（1）对性健康的描述；（2）性健康的条件；（3）影响性健康的因素；以及（4）性健康的体验：积极的体验、对身体/自我的舒适感、亲密感、接受度以及与伴侣的沟通似乎有助于克服障碍和体验性幸福。

Objectives: To analyze the association between difficulties in emotion regulation and problematic pornography use (PPU) and test the mediating effect of loneliness.

Methods: All 339 participants (M = 28.53 years, SD = 10.32) completed online self-report scales assessing difficulties in emotion regulation, PPU, and loneliness.

Results: Difficulties in emotion regulation are positively correlated with PPU. Loneliness partially mediates the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and PPU. Gender and intimate relationship status had moderating effects on the tested mediation model.

Conclusions: Greater difficulties in emotion regulation have a significant indirect effect on PPU through loneliness.

摘要目的分析情绪调节困难与问题色情使用(PPU)的关系，并检验孤独感的中介作用。方法339名参与者(M = 28.53岁，SD = 10.32)完成在线自我报告量表，评估情绪调节困难、PPU和孤独感。结果情绪调节困难与PPU呈正相关。孤独感在情绪调节困难与PPU的关系中起部分中介作用。性别和亲密关系状态对被测中介模型有调节作用。结论孤独感对情绪调节困难程度的提高具有显著的间接影响。
