A more in-depth investigation of the multiple causes of sexual anxiety needs to be explored to expand the focus beyond sexual performance and account for various sociocultural factors that may increase the risk of sexual anxiety among marginalized groups. The purpose of this study was to explore the precedents of sexual anxiety among n=184 Black cisgender women living in the Southern United States. Participants were recruited in 2020 to complete an online Qualtrics survey and answer the open-ended question, \"What makes you feel anxious during sexual experiences?\". Only those who reported that they experienced sexual anxiety in their lifetime were asked this question. Data was analyzed using an inductive structural tabular thematic analysis approach. There were a total of 10 themes: 1) pressure to meet societal expectations, 2) psychological barriers, 3) partner unfamiliarity, 4) oppressive body standards, 5) sexual violence, 6) anticipation, 7) relationship factors, 8) general insecurities and judgment, 9) cultural factors and 10) fear of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Implications for therapists and counselors are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":"40 2","pages":"430-447"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12490749/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Integration of sexual and relational mental representations in autobiographical memories is associated with sexual well-being","authors":"Christine Therriault, Léa Bernard-Desrosiers, Frederick L. Philippe","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2023.2273292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2023.2273292","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractDeterminants of sexual well-being have often been identified as sexual and relational satisfaction, which both include a focus on partner relationship. Such a conceptualization excludes sexually active single individuals, while confusing sexual and relational satisfaction with sexual well-being as both determinant and outcome. In this research, we propose an intrapersonal perspective focused on cognitive sexual and relational mental representations as determinants of sexual well-being. Based on behavioral systems theory, we suggest that a high level of integration of sexual and relational mental representations should be associated with sexual well-being indicators, whereas a weaker level of integration should correspond to a lower level of sexual well-being. We developed a novel codification scheme to measure the cognitive integration of sexual and relational mental representations in narratives of sexual autobiographical memories. We examined its associations with sexual well-being indicators (satisfaction, passion, and sociosexuality). In a sample of 142 students, results showed that integration of sexual and relational representations in memories was positively associated with sexual satisfaction and harmonious passion, and negatively with obsessive passion and sociosexual desire. Results suggest that an integrated cognitive organization of sexual and relational mental representations in autobiographical memories can reflect a greater sexual well-being. Clinical implications are discussed.Lay SummaryAutobiographical memories are rich systems formed by the association of mental representations (e.g. images, words, scripts) that may reflect individual’s personality. Measuring organization of relational and sexual mental representations in sexual memories– an innovative method – provides an individual indicator reflecting sexual well-being. This is a wealthy avenue for having a new comprehension of mechanisms associated with sexual well-being, beyond relationship status or the type of personal relationships.Keywords: Autobiographical memoriescognitive integrationintimacymental representationssexual satisfactionsexual well-being Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada under Grant 435-2017-1358.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":"33 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135682729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Context of pornography consumption and sexual desire in romantic relationships","authors":"Eliška Burian Lexová, Petr Weiss","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2023.2273297","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2023.2273297","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractIn society, pornography consumption is generally associated mostly with negative outcomes in relationships. Several studies also draw attention to the positive outcomes that pornography consumption can have. The current study investigated associations between the context of internet pornography use and sexual desire in a sample of 1742 individuals in romantic relationships. Having used an online questionnaire, we compared shared pornography consumption, concordant solitary consumption, discordant consumption, and no consumption. The study centred on the frequency of intercourse in relationships and partner-focused dyadic sexual desire. Results showed that shared pornography consumers and non-consumers had the highest frequency of intercourse per month compared to discordant consumers and solitary concordant consumers. In terms of sexual desire, shared consumers and discordant consumers had the highest sexual desire. However, the effect is caused more by the influence of gender than by the context of pornography consumption, as males showed higher sexual desire than females. Implications, significance, and limitations of obtained results in the present study are also discussed in relation to moderating variables included. It is suggested that the associations of these factors are investigated in future studies. Several directions for further research are discussed in light of these findings.LAY SUMMARYThe research examines the connections between pornography and sexual desire in relationships. We compare individuals from relationships in which pornography is consumed together, separately, by only one of the partners, or not at all. Shared pornography consumers and discordant consumers had the highest sexual desire.Keywords: Pornographyromantic relationshipssexual activitysexual desire Disclosure statementThe authors did not receive support from any organization for the submitted work.

Sociodemographic and religious data from this sample are provided. Frequencies of Satanists’ engagement in different sexual behaviors are also explored. Furthermore, two aspects of Satanists’ sexual self-concept, sexual self-esteem and sexual anxiety, are assessed along with these variables’ relationships with the strength of Satanists’ group identity and the length of time identifying as a Satanist.
