SUMMARY We report findings from a national survey of 603 homosexually experienced African American women who self-identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Levels of psychological distress greatly exceeded population norms for African American women. The most frequent problems participants reported were romantic relationship and financial difficulties. Problems with using drugs or alcohol to self-medicate psychological distress were the most chronic stressors. Although 31% of women indicated they received emotional support from a counselor or other professional in the prior month, the least likely to receive support were those reporting chronic financial, housing, anger, or substance use problems. These findings underscore the vulnerability of African American women, who navigate the triple stigma of having a minority ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender.

SUMMARY Marriage is a mental health protective factor and homosexuality is sometimes a risk factor. The combined effect of these factors on mental health was examined in this study. We conducted a secondary analysis of an international, cross-sectional survey completed in 2000 (N = 7,616). We examined risks of suicide ideations and attempts, behavioral problems, and treatment histories for male and female participants from Canada and the United States. We found significant relations between sexual orientation and suicidality in all four gender-country groups. We found significant associations between relationship status and suicidality for men but not women in both countries. Behavioral problems and treatment histories were equivocal. We discuss the mental health implications of these findings for same-sex marriage.

SUMMARY The Surgeon General's first report on mental health identified depression and anxiety as significant mental health issues that disproportionately affect women. Research indicates that lesbians experience depression at rates that parallel those of the general female population, suggesting that depression is an important mental health issue for lesbians. Given the high rate of comorbidity between depression and anxiety disorders, it is likely that many depressed lesbians have struggled with problems related to anxiety as well. This paper reviews literature pertaining to lesbians and depression including incidence rates, risk factors, suicidality and treatment approaches, and stress and anxiety that may also contribute to the experience of depression among lesbians.

Abstract This study at a Canadian university explored students' beliefs about sexual consent policy and sexual consent negotiations. One of the most publicized policies regarding sexual consent was developed by Antioch College in Ohio. Antioch's policy is controversial because it prescribes how sexual consent should be negotiated, including verbal consent at every step of a sexual encounter. There were two parts to this study. Part 1 obtained attitudes regarding this policy using focus group interviews. Part 2 surveyed undergraduate students (N = 514), ranging in age from 18 to 27, using a questionnaire whose items were derived from the qualitative results of Part 1. The majority of participants evaluated the Antioch policy unfavorably, stating problems with enforcement, practicality and personal endorsement. Sexual experience and preferred method of sexual consent negotiation were related to evaluation of the policy; how ever, there were no gender differences.

Abstract This study examined the effect of questionnaire order on the assessment of sexual behaviors, risk perceptions, and ratings of pro-tection strategies. College student participants (n = 138) were randomly assigned to complete the study measures in one of two orders: (1) sexual behaviors and risk perceptions questions followed by ratings of protec-tion strategies; or (2) protection strategy questions followed by sexual behaviors and risk perceptions. A significant effect for questionnaire order was found such that ratings of effectiveness of Illusory HIV and Illusory STD protection strategies were significantly higher, and risk perceptions were significantly lower, when sexual behavior questions were asked first in comparison to when protection strategy questions were asked first. However, questionnaire order had no effect on the self-report of sexual behaviors (number of sexual partners, unprotected vaginal and oral sex), or ratings of effectiveness of real HIV and STD protection strategies. The re-sults suggest that researchers need to carefully consider questionnaire order when assessing human sexuality.

Abstract Professional and popular discussions of the effects of adult-adolescent sexual relations focus almost exclusively on harmfulness. Possible benefit is almost never considered. Yet historical perspective shows that such relations were common in past times, often seen as socially functional. It is argued that the current narrow focus on harm is driven by ideology, with problems such as moral panic and consequence. To address this imbalance in focus and response, the present article (originally a conference paper) reviewed nonclinical empirical research and case studies involving adolescent boys' sexual experiences with adults, where evidence for positive reactions is common. Beyond mere reactions, perceived long-term benefit is common in certain types of adolescent boy-adult sexual relations and includes increased sexual confidence, bolstered self-acceptance, and enhanced development via mentoring. This evidence for frequency and importance of benefit, it is concluded, indicates that the current focus on harm is biased. Considering benefits as well can improve a valid understanding of adult-adolescent sex and lessen overreaction.

Abstract That concupiscent is to romantic as lust is to love, as vice is to virtue, and as masculine is to feminine is widespread in today's idiomatic assumptions of the cause of human sexual conduct. Not so. Concupiscent and romantic sexuality overlap and merge and are multivariate. Both are partly phylogenically and partly ontogenetically determined. Courtship and mating are more robotically programmed in subhuman species than in humans. Derobotization of human sexuality may have been a feature of a more inclusive behavioral derobotization associated with the evolution of human language mapping in the brain and synchronously in the mind. Hypothetically, the evolutionary line of descent has been from qua-drupedal to bipedal, from nose to eyes, and from robotic to nonrobotic. An episode of mating is divisible into three stages: proceptive, acceptive, and conceptive, each of which mixes phylogenic and ontogenic determinants in variable degree. Contrectation, foreplay and erogenous zones are the proceptive terms made popular in marriage manuals of a century ago. Male and female mammals are programmed to be reciprocal, not identical in courtship and mating. In the human species, the reciprocality is exemplified in the male's greater dependence on the visual than the contrectative stimulus for erotic arousal, and vice versa for the female, though the difference is not absolute. Lovemap is the term that names an Supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Department of Health and Human Services, individual's brain/mind coding that depicts the ideation, imagery, and practices of romanticism and concupiscence. Pairbonded lovemaps may be ideologically correct, or they may be stigmatized as pathological or criminal, and as societally deviant, as in the case of some paraphilias. There are seven grand stratagems of paraphilias. Paraphilias constitute a major challenge in public health, witness the current dilemma of the church and sexual child abuse.

Abstract Age of consent through most of history and cultures has coincided with biological changes taking place in adolescents, i.e., between 12 and 14. It was in fact in the best interests of society to have girls become pregnant in their teens. Even when age of marriage for males was somewhat later, age of consent remained the same, and in some societies, this delay resulted in homoerotic relationships between boys and adult males as it did in Greece.

Abstract Token seduction was defined as signaling an interest in having sex with another person when one has no intention of having sex. Gender differences in token seduction, various token seduction behaviors, and personality predictors of token seduction were investigated. The gender difference in token seduction was nonsignificant. Men engaged in verbal token seduction behaviors significantly more often than women. Women and men did not differ significantly in how often they engaged in physical token seduction behaviors. Women engaged in physical token seduction behaviors significantly more often than verbal ones, while men did not differ significantly in their use of physical and verbal behaviors. Hypergender ideology predicted token seduction for men only. Machiavellianism predicted token seduction for women and men.
