This issue of Sexual and Relationship Therapy includes 10 articles, some of which have already received extensive attention while they were “online first.” There are some very good articles that focus on theory development and advancement, interventions for therapists, trauma and abuse, and the reporting of new discoveries in sexual functioning.

LAY SUMMARYUsers of child sexual abuse material were interviewed about changes in their daily lives as well as sexual thoughts and behaviors during the COVID-19 restrictions. The changes found, such as in general mental health and sexual urges, can increase the risk for sexual offending and are therefore important to consider regarding possible future lockdowns. In this article, we describe a qualitative study in which we examined perceived effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on help-seeking individuals who access child sexual abuse material (CSAM, legally referred to as child pornography). The study recruited 18 participants who were part of the internet based Prevent It Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) clinical trial, which aims to reduce CSAM use and child exploitation, and were willing to answer questions during a semi-structured interview about the perceived impact of the pandemic restrictions on their lives, including their sexual thoughts and behaviors. Key themes that were identified from the participants' answers included changes in day-to-day life, mental health, sexual thoughts, behaviors or urges, responses and coping strategies used to deal with sexual urges, changes on the forums, positive changes, and how they could best be assisted with coping in this situation. Our qualitative analysis also suggested that the pandemic affected urges to use CSAM, therefore potentially increasing the risk of online sexual offending. These results support that there is a need to investigate this potential negative side effect of quarantines or lockdowns before future pandemics.

Clinically, this issue brings a good deal of information to the forefront for mental health providers to take into consideration. As I often do with the issues, I peruse the articles and attempt to “group” them into similar thematic areas so similar information can be gleaned. This issue brings us topical areas such as advancing our understanding female sexuality, aging sexuality, satisfaction and functioning based on behavioral characteristics, and we even see and get a new scale assigned to an issue (but has been popular through our online first process)—the Consumption of Pornography Scale—General. An exciting element of this issue is the widespread nature of the data that has been discovered—both geographically (all over the globe!), age wise, and the way in which the researchers and authors approached the data and process are very interesting. Several qualitative studies are present in this issue, providing rich context for interpretation, with a balanced amount of quantitative data being presented.
