Abstract:
Counseling psychologists should take an active approach in broaching issues of sex and sexuality, given that clients may hesitate to initiate such conversations due to their discomfort or fears about therapists’ attitudes or judgments. Research has suggested that mental health providers need to be skilled and comfortable addressing issues of sex and sexuality in order to provide culturally competent, holistic care for clients. Consistent with a sex-positive approach, which views sexuality as a universal human experience and an important aspect of overall psychological health, quality of life, and relational satisfaction, in this article we present five recommendations for counseling psychologists, encouraging them to integrate topics of sex and sexuality into clinical practice. Following Pederson’s (2000) Triad Training Model of awareness, knowledge, and skills, we provide recommendations accompanied with questions and examples of proactive and sex-positive language.

Abstract:
Sexual health and well-being are integral aspects of human growth and development. Specifically, sex and sexuality involve complex and dynamic interpersonal and intrapersonal behaviors within dynamic sociopolitical environments. Sex positivity acknowledges such complexities as positive forces in human interactions and experiences, rather than as risk factors, deviance, and pathology. Current theories within counseling psychology, however, perpetuate sex-negative perspectives of sex and sexuality, further marginalizing people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex individuals, and people with disabilities. This article presents historical contributions from the professional fields of history, law, psychology, philosophy, and sociology, and from popular contemporary writings, to pose a sex-positive paradigm in counseling psychology. Sex-positive counseling psychology is an integrated, comprehensive approach to understanding sex and sexuality, with contributions from social justice, feminist, multicultural, and queer theories. Implications for future theories, research, and practice within counseling psychology are presented.

Abstract:
In this manuscript, we explore the need for inclusion of sex-positivity training in counseling psychology doctoral program curricula. We surveyed 25 counseling psychology doctoral program administrators throughout the United States and asked about the inclusion of human sexuality coursework and training opportunities as well as sex positivity within their curricula. We report our findings, noting the number of programs that include human sexuality coursework, incorporate sex positivity, discuss sex positivity, and discuss sex positivity from a multicultural lens. The implications of these findings for research, practice, training, and advocacy within counseling psychology are discussed.

Abstract:
This article discussed sex education based on Islamic psychology, an essential aspect of healthy physical and psychological development. Islamic psychology emphasized that sex education included not only biological aspects but also spiritual and moral dimensions. Sex education in Islam aimed to cultivate responsible behavior, self-respect, respect for others, and the preservation of purity and honor. The article reviewed various scientific publications on sex education based on Islamic psychology, aiming to explore fundamental principles, appropriate teaching methods, the prevention of deviant sexual behavior, and the protection of individuals from the negative impacts of media and environments that contradicted Islamic values. The methods used in this article included literature searches on Google Scholar, Connected Papers, and Science Direct, focusing on topics such as sex education, the Islamic perspective on sex, and Islamic psychology's view on sexuality. The research results were expected to provide insights for developing a holistic sex education curriculum grounded in Islamic values. This article also served as a guide for parents, educators, and the community in educating the younger generation. The implications of this approach included the need for a comprehensive and integrative education curriculum, training for educators, and support from families and the community in implementing sex education according to Islamic principles. Sex education within the framework of Islamic psychology not only imparted knowledge but also shaped noble and responsible character.Artikel ini membahas pendidikan seksual berdasarkan psikologi Islam, aspek penting dalam perkembangan individu sehat secara fisik dan psikologis. Pandangan psikologi Islam menekankan bahwa pendidikan seksual tidak hanya mencakup aspek biologis, tetapi juga dimensi spiritual dan moral. Pendidikan seksual dalam Islam bertujuan membentuk perilaku bertanggung jawab, menghargai diri sendiri dan orang lain, serta menjaga kesucian dan kehormatan. Artikel ini mengkaji berbagai literatur ilmiah yang membahas pendidikan seksual berbasis psikologi Islam, dengan tujuan mengeksplorasi prinsip dasar, metode pengajaran yang sesuai, pencegahan perilaku seksual menyimpang, dan perlindungan individu dari dampak negatif media serta lingkungan yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini meliputi penelusuran literatur dari Google Scholar, Connected Papers, dan Science Direct, dengan fokus pada topik pendidikan seksual, perspektif Islam terhadap seks, dan pandangan psikologi Islam terhadap seksualitas. Hasil penelitian diharapkan memberikan wawasan bagi pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan seksual holistik yang berlandaskan nilai-nilai Islam. Artikel ini juga menjadi panduan bagi orang tua, pendidik, dan masyarakat dalam mendidik generasi muda. Implikasi dari pendekatan ini mencakup perlunya kurikulum pendidikan yang komprehensif dan integratif, pelatihan bagi pendidik, serta dukungan keluarga dan masyarakat dalam menerapkan pendidikan seksual sesuai prinsip Islam. Pendidikan seksual dalam kerangka psikologi Islam tidak hanya memberikan pengetahuan, tetapi juga membentuk karakter luhur dan bertanggung jawab.

Abstract:
Irrational beliefs have been related to a variety of psychological distresses, some of which are thought of more in relation to one sex than the other, i.e., depression, nonassertiveness, anger. However, Ellis did not assert that there were sex differences in irrational beliefs, and few researchers have examined the effect of sex-role socialization on irrational beliefs. The present study explored the effect of sex and sex-roles on irrational beliefs for a sample of 270 college students using the Irrational Beliefs Test and Bern's scale. While the study supports the belief that sex and sex-role are not unidimensional constructs, the data suggest that differences in sex-role socialization contribute to differences in adherence to irrational beliefs. It appears, however, that a feminine sex-role orientation is related to irrational beliefs. Although study is needed, clinicians are cautioned not to assume there are no sex or sex-role differences related to irrational thinking.

Abstract:
In this paper, I offer an overview of the historical and international context within which feminist psychology has developed, locating my own work within this context. I suggest that feminist psychology encompasses a diverse range of research traditions, and I identify and briefly outline five of the main traditions within the field to date. These traditions are: the mismeasure of women; overcoming internalised oppression; listening to women’s voices; displacing sex differences; and reconstructing sex difference. Finally, I propose a key project for the future development of feminist psych ology: the exploration of issues relating to diversity.

Abstract:
In species with internal female fertilization, males risk both lowered paternity probability and investment in rival gametes if their mates have sexual contact with other males. Females of such species do not risk lowered maternity probability through partner infidelity, but they do risk the diversion of their mates' commitment and resources to rival females. Three studies tested the hypothesis that sex differences in jealousy emerged in humans as solutions to the respective adaptive problems faced by each sex. In Study 1, men and women selected which event would upset them more—a partner's sexual infidelity or emotional infidelity. Study 2 recorded physiological responses (heart rate, electrodermal response, corrugator supercilii contraction) while subjects imagined separately the two types of partner infidelity. Study 3 tested the effect of being in a committed sexual relationship on the activation of jealousy. All studies showed large sex differences, confirming hypothesized sex linkages in jealousy activation.

Abstract:
One of the greatest social crisis in the world today is sexuality. Kenya is one of the developing countries whose social and economic institutions have been adversely affected by sexual perversions. The media, religion, academic, police and legal reports indicate shocking revelations about the extent to which sexual perversions have engulfed Kenyans. Rape, bestiality, paedophilia, incest, sex-oriented violence and insults characterize the social landscape of the country with dire implications on the family, health, religious, economic, political and other vital institutions of the society are ever reported. Cases of priests/pastors/imam defiling their ‘flock’; teachers sexually assaulting their students; prostitution and promiscuity; fathers raping their daughters; jobs being awarded on sexual advances are not uncommon. Consequently, people are dying of sexually-oriented diseases; hospitals are full of sex health problems; families are breaking because of sex and sex-related challenges; streets are full of abandoned children; leaders have lost to their enemies because of sex; companies have been rundown because of sex; professionalism has waned because sex has replaced merit; students are passing examinations because of sexually transmitted marks; the environment is polluted because of sex; even religious books warn that many may miss the Kingdom of God because of sex-related sins. Sex sin is everywhere. It is not limited to the bedroom anymore, but to the television, movies, billboards, office buildings, hotels, kitchen, cars, classrooms, in the field, corridors, in conferences, toilets, churches, mosques, streets, and in the bush, just to name a few of the spaces. This paper provides some empirical and conceptual observations, which suggests ‘a sex crisis’ that is reflected in the kind of sexual patterns observed in the Kenyan society today. The current social and moral policies emphasize equity, human rights and freedom. However, there is a lack of or little on self-control and morality mechanisms in social control systems especially in relation to rapid socio-cultural changes that have led to identity and personality crisis. This has led to the prevalence of sexual patterns that advance egocentrism rather than the common good. Consequently, the paper recommends a reflection on what actually happened to the sex moral values in Kenya and suggests what the society’s leadership should do to inform policy-oriented strategies that can tame the current situation.

Abstract:
Over 700 college students evaluated one of eight written profiles of a college professor. The descriptions varied by professors' sex and by professor sex-type (neutral/control, affective, instrumental, androgynous). Profiles were handed out in class to male and female students by regular instructors (experimenters). Professors described as high in affective qualities (the affective and androgynous professors) received the highest ratings on questions related to interactions with students outside of class. Professors' sex-type interacted significantly with students' sex and instructors' sex on these questions as well. The effects of both instrumental and affective qualities of the instructor appear to overshadow the effects of a professor's sex in students' evaluations, at least under certain conditions.

Abstract:
The discourse around sex education is ambivalent and normatively loaded, stretching roughly between conservatism, liberalism, and neo-emancipation. In Germany, teachers receive no specific training and have little access to education, besides short and optional training from third-party providers. As a result, they feel left alone, overburdened, and politically at risk while simultaneously reporting a personal desire to make a positive change. Teach Love is a psychological knowledge transfer project applying critical community psychology to teachers’ continuing education on sex education. The participants receive emotion-, value-based, and pluralistic digital training based on empirically assessed needs and in collaboration with scientists (psychology, pedagogy, sociology) and practitioners (therapists, teachers, midwives) focusing on comprehensive competence. In this contribution, I present the empirically assessed teacher's needs on sex education and the resultant didactic. Second, I present the empirical post-measure evaluations to discuss the potential of applied critical community psychology in teachers' professionalisation. This contribution serves in three ways. Firstly, the paper presents a practically tested approach to how to deal constructively with polarizing topics in pedagogy. Secondly, the results show how to support teachers by applying critical community psychology in the teacher's professional development. Finally, insights into digital education formats, their applicability, effectiveness, and acceptability are gained.

Psychologists interested in exploring differences between sexes on various aspects of human behaviour most often employ undergraduate (psychology) students as subjects. Here, in spite of reported evidence suggesting significant differences between sexes on attitudes towards arcade games, for 24 men and 24 women university students, no significant sex differences were observed. Generalisability of research on psychological aspects of such sex differences based solely on an undergraduate population may be questioned.

Abstract:
In many parts of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, women and children are so undervalued, neglected, abused, and so often killed, that sex ratios are now strongly male biased. In recent decades, sex-biased abortion has exacerbated the problem. In this article I highlight several important insights from evolutionary biology into both the origin and the severe societal consequences of “Asia's missing women”, paying particular attention to interactions between evolution, economics and culture. Son preferences and associated cultural practices like patrilineal inheritance, patrilocality and the Indian Hindu dowry system arise among the wealthy and powerful elites for reasons consistent with models of sex-biased parental investment. Those practices then spread via imitation as technology gets cheaper and economic development allows the middle class to grow rapidly. I will consider evidence from India, China and elsewhere that grossly male-biased sex ratios lead to increased crime, violence, local warfare, political instability, drug abuse, prostitution and trafficking of women. The problem of Asia's missing women presents a challenge for applied evolutionary psychology to help us understand and ameliorate sex ratio biases and their most severe consequences.

Abstract:
An analysis of race and sex of clinical psychology interns was undertaken at a major training hospital complex during the Apartheid and Postapartheid periods. 7 of 87 (8.1%) interns trained in the apartheid period were Black African. Significantly more Black Africans and women were trained during the Post-apartheid period. The results were discussed within the context of South Africa's social and political transition, as well as international trends relating to sex and professional psychology.

Abstract:
The relations among of sex, measures of sex-role orientation, and locus of control were examined with 240 undergraduates (150 women and 90 men). Although there were no sex differences on mean locus of control scores, a significant relation between scores on sex-role orientation and locus of control was observed for women but not for men.

Abstract:
In 1989 Sprague and Quadagno reported a significant interaction between sex and age for “motive for sexual intercourse” (affection-closeness vs physical release). Young men exceeded women in physical release as primary motive for sex, but women exceeded men in this choice at an older age. We conducted a modified replication, and we also studied Rubin's Love Scale, sexual interest, frequency of sexual arousal, and sexual enjoyment. Analysis did not confirm the earlier findings. For 60 men and 60 women differences were found for sexual interest, frequency of sexual arousal, and sexual enjoyment, with men scoring higher. Scores on Rubin's Love Scale did not differentiate the sexes.
