abstract:The purpose of this study was to develop a brief sexual desire assessment tool (SDAT) and training material for marriage and family therapists (MFT) and other clinicians. A discussion in polyamory is provided for clinicians who may otherwise overlook or ignore the possibility of outside causes to relationship issues. The case studies of therapists who have worked with and researched polyamorous systems were reviewed. As a result, a brief sexual desire assessment tool (SDAT), as well as a training program for its use, were designed. A qualitative survey was provided to practicing clinicians to evaluate the assessment tool.

abstract:Afro-Latino same-sex attracted men have been ignored by the research community with the exception of public health researchers examining the role of ethnicity in HIV/AIDS and often these studies label participants as either Latino or African American (Muñoz-Laboy & Severson, 2018). Of the US population estimates of men who have sex with men (MSM), 1.1 million are Latino and 635,000 are Black, yet it is unknown how many are both (Lieb et al, 2011). Aside from not having a clear understanding of how many Afro-Latino same-sex attracted men exist, there is no data about how these men understand their multiple identities, nor agreed upon definitions of popular terms such as MSM. This quantitative and exploratory research study examined the interconnection of ethnic identity, gay community identification, and internalized homonegativity among Afro-Latino same-sex attracted men. Thirty-two men from across the United States completed a detailed demographic questionnaire, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM; Phinney, 1992), the Identification with and Involvement with the Gay Community Scale (IGCS; Vanable, McKirnan, & Stokes, 2011), and Internalized Homonegativity Inventory (IHNI; Mayfield, 2001). Results indicated that as ethnic identity increased, homonegativity decreased. While exploratory in nature, the study results contradict common narratives about same-sex attracted men of color and are a beginning step in understanding the complexity of identity for Afro-Latinos.

abstract:This qualitative investigation utilized open-ended questions to focus on women's perceptions of empowerment, condom use and relationship dynamics among a convenience sample of one hundred ninety-five African American women. Several themes emerged for reasons some women felt empowered to demand safe sex, including concerns about (sexually transmitted infections) STIs or pregnancy, social support, and role models. Other emergent themes addressed reasons women felt they were unable to demand safe sex, including fear of losing a partner, and viewing unprotected sex as a sign of a committed relationship. The findings contribute to understanding of factors that affect some African American women's risk for HIV infection, specifically regarding condom use behaviors.

abstract:"Femme" as an identity construct and a theoretical frame of reference has historically been conceptualized with trans*femme individuals on the margins, if at all included. This theoretical analysis centers trans*femme identity in the negotiation of a comprehensive conceptualization of femme—proposing an initial framework for trans*femme theory. It is argued that gender from the femme and trans*femme frame of reference is a biopsychosocial phenomenon, which is fluid, inclusive, and vulnerable to change. Additionally, the ways that femme, as discussed here, extends the boundaries of feminist and queer theory is explored. Lastly, an analysis of femme identity framed as a counter-culture is discussed in concluding remarks.

abstract:Does YouTube normalize the unintended sexploitation of tween Black girls' musical play in user-generated content (UGC)? A review of girlhood studies, online sexploitation, social media, and intersectionality contributes to a case study of over 600 YouTube twerking videos uploaded over a six-year period (2008–2014). Utilizing Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis (CTDA), three main findings point to the normalization of online sexploitation relative to Black girls' user-generated content: 1) the disclosure of personal-identifying information; 2) disconnects between culture and age-restricted guidelines; and 3) the monetization of music in UGC.

abstract:This paper discursively examines the interplay between explicit, sexually narrative hip-hop music and Black women's erotic cultural production in material and digital spaces. In drawing on Black feminist thought and hip-hop studies, this research wrestles with the consumption of Black women's erotic performance in the United States through the controversy of Nicki Minaj's Madame Tussauds wax figure. The essay forwards a century-long genealogy that centers racialized fantasy and erotic stages as central to Black erotic performance. Finally, it posits Black women's centrality to erotic cultural production as a significant, pedagogical challenge to the ways erotic labor emerges in popular discourse.

abstract:The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore Black women's perceptions and beliefs about hair and intimate relationships with men. The existing literature on hair in intimate relationships excludes Black aesthetics and phenotypes, and yet there is significant evidence that Black women evaluate self-esteem, career success, and intelligence based on the texture and length of their hair. Using the Guided Hair Autobiography (Mbilishaka, 2014), fourteen Black women constructed narratives and four themes emerged in a content analysis: (a) male partners providing support during stressful hair experiences, (b) male partners criticizing short hairstyles, (c) Black women transforming the appearance of their hair to ritualize the end of romantic relationships with men, and (d) male partners having limited influence on how Black women groom their hair. Hair is more complex than attracting a partner, but illustrates how Black women think about and behave in intimate relationships. Hair stories may be a means of processing intimate relationships for Black women and utilized by hair care professionals and clinicians for psychological interventions.
