Abstract:
AbstractAdolescence is characterized by significant biological and psychological changes. During this time, the increased production of androgens leads to increased sexual behavior, and this may contribute to early initiation of sexual activity. The objectives of the present cross-sectional study of adolescents enrolled in state schools in the city of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil, were to determine the average age at the first sexual intercourse (sexarche), the average number of sexual partners, and the frequency of contraceptive and condom use. Information on the age at sexarche, number of sexual partners, use of different contraceptive methods, and use of condoms were obtained using a semistructured questionnaire. Quantitative variables are expressed as means and standard deviations (SDs), and qualitative variables as absolute and relative frequencies. The chi-squared test was used for comparisons of qualitative variables, and the Student t-test for comparisons of continuous variables. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS (version 9.4, North Carolina State University, USA). We evaluated 202 students who answered the questionnaire, 69 males (36.36%) and 133 females (63.64%). The age at sexarche for men ranged from 7 to 18 years old, and for women from 7 to 17 years old. Forty-eight girls (36.01%) and 21 boys (30.43%) were in the first year of high school, 66.94% of adolescents reported sexual intercourse, and 56.25% used a condom during the first sexual intercourse. A total of 36.72% of students said they had safe sex most of the time, and 83.59% said that the first sexual intercourse happened because they “had a crush on” the other person.

Abstract:
This article examines the sexual practices of young Brazilians based on data from the GRAVAD Research Project, a household survey targeting males and females from 18 to 24 years of age (n = 4,634) in three Brazilian State capitals: Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador. The set of practices experienced over the course of their sexual careers is characterized by traits of social belonging, elements from individual life histories, and prescribed rules of conduct for men and women. The authors compared the young people's range of lifetime practices and those from last sexual relations in order to discuss the spread and incorporation of practices into life histories. The data point to the hegemony of vaginal sex in both the lifetime repertoire of sexual practices and the last sexual encounters, such that vaginal sex provides the prime definition of heterosexuality.

Abstract:
Cervix cancer is the cancer that causes most female deaths in South Africa. Little is known about the sexual and menstrual practices in high-risk communities in South Africa. Knowledge of the risks inherent in these practices might lead to changed behaviour. The purpose of this study was to investigate if there are inherent risk factors for cervix cancer in the Black women’s sexual and menstrual practices that could result in an increased incidence to provide an evidence base for future interventions. The design of the study was an exploratory, descriptive, contextual, quantitative survey. The context of the study was two urban areas in the Tshwane Metropolis. The target population was women from the age of 18 years in Ga-Rankuwa and Soshanguve extension 12. The sampling method used was convenient sampling (n = 279). A structured interview was conducted due to the high rate of illiteracy found amongst the women. The data were summarised using descriptive statistics. The results of the study highlight several risks that could increase the women’s chance to develop cervix cancer. The identified risks are inherent in their socio-economic situation, knowledge and awareness of cervix cancer, and practices during menstruation.

Abstract:
Research in the field of bisexuality has identified that bisexuals experience a unique kind of phobia, in that phobic responses to their sexual preferences appear from both mainstream and LGBT communities. However, little research in the UK has been conducted within the arena of sport culture to cater for the particular welfare needs of bisexual athletes. As an additional consequence, there is little theorisation of bisexuality available within the context of sport sociology. This research contributes to debates in the politics of identity by exploring a fairly new landscape within sport culture using a Foucauldian analysis of power. Discourse analyses have been utilised to interpret thirteen semi-structured interviews conducted with British athletes on the topics of bi-invisibility and the general problem of homophobia. This research also contributes to discussions concerning the mobilisation of power through discourse – certain discursive practices function to legitimize normative over non-normative sexualities and queer/fluid/bisexual identities are further stigmatized and othered. The main findings suggest that exclusions are mobilised most effectively, ironically, through sport cultural practices of inclusion, in that they are almost exclusively sexual identity-based. Additionally, this study offers a theoretical explanation for the peripheralisation of bisexuality in sport culture which can shed new light on bisexual theory in mainstream culture. It makes important suggestions as to the new directions future research can take in order to advance the current knowledge bases concerning the effects of bantering. This research proposes that practices of bantering can be just as marginalising as those of bullying. In the resultant climate of covert exclusions, organizational sporting bodies could benefit from paying close attention to the disempowering effects of biphobic and homophobic language, whether humorously intended or otherwise. This is with particular respect to youth footballing academies and spectator communities.

Full text
Abstract:

This hermeneutical research presents correlations between unconscious trauma responses and resultant sexual desire and behavior. Trauma reactions include reenactment, repetition compulsion, reverse reenactment, fawning, and dissociation. Clandestine sexual practices are often conducted surreptitiously, may co-occur with sexual paraphilia, and may include: infidelity; anonymous and group sex; pornography, cybersex, and virtual reality sex; sex with dolls and robots; and prostitution, strip clubs, and sex workers. The American Psychiatric Association’s criteria for pathology are explored along with sex-positive psychology’s position on the role of consent in diagnosing paraphilic disorder. Clinical manifestations of sexual distress including paraphilic and physiological disorders, sexually transmitted infections, sexual addiction, and related somatic and mood disorders are considered. Theories of ego-syntonia, ego-dystonia, and sexual consent are examined. Clinical applications include psychoeducation on unconscious trauma responses, a depth psychological approach to sexual content, explication of the original dynamic sexual consent theory and assessment tool, and frameworks for ego-syntonic sexuality.

Abstract:
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) occurs in up to 9.9 % of the general population. Clinical implications of CSA are lasting and warrant treatment utilizing suitable approaches. Although the developmental psychopathology model encourages clinicians to evaluate disorders in the context of risk/protective factors, cultural issues and development, there is a gap in current research regarding the utilization of developmental theory among clinicians working with this population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine consistent patterns in treatment practices employed by therapists with CSA patients. The primary research question in this study was to determine how closely therapists' actual treatment practice with CSA females paralleled the developmental psychopathology model. The study utilized a grounded theory approach to generate a model of practice drawn from structured interviews with 20 therapists recruited through a snowballing sample. A sequence of open, axial and selective coding of these data revealed three themes including empowerment, consistency and support. Results indicate most participants were trained in developmental theory and, developed model based skills over time while intuitively utilizing this model and that progressing clients had therapists that utilized this model. Recommendations include required undergraduate training in this model. This information will contribute to the existing literature on developmental theory and, can enhance social change initiatives through increased reliance on therapist intuition which in turn can produce patient care more aligned with developmental needs. In addition this information can be used for the development of effective model based interventions and preventions so as to decrease CSA's harmful societal impact.

FUNDAÇÃO DE APOIO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Na presente investigação objetivou-se analisar a trajetória afetivo-sexual de mulheres jovens com práticas afetivo-sexuais com mulheres, tendo como foco os cuidados e os sentidos construídos acerca da saúde sexual. Dessa forma, este trabalho de pesquisa justifica-se por meio de duas questões centrais: a primeira se refere à necessidade de se mapear as linhas de força que possibilitaram que a experiência de mulheres com práticas afetivo-sexuais com mulheres fosse tomada de modo tão discreto para se pensar as especificidades de saúde; a segunda se refere ao que a Psicologia pode contribuir ao campo tema, visto as constatações epidemiológicas dos riscos que acometem estas mulheres, de modo que se possa oferecer subsídios para se compreender os discursos e sentidos obscurecidos nos dados de saúde. Sendo assim, o trabalho em questão foi realizado por meio do que denominamos de encontros de (conversa)ação com sete mulheres jovens com práticas afetivo-sexuais com mulheres, entre 18 e 30 anos, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e com oito médicos ginecologistas. Os dados apontam que com exceção das mulheres inseridas no movimento social LGBT, a prevenção no ato sexual não é uma questão para as participantes. Esta postura tem relações com a forma com que o tema é produzido pelo discurso médico, em que a ausência de informações científicas mais consistentes acerca dos riscos de infecção possibilita que tais taxas sejam tomadas como inexpressivas. Podemos analisar que a participação do discurso institucionalizado tem papel importante na inserção da questão da saúde sexual deste público.
In the present investigation aimed to analyze the trajectory of emotional-sexual practices of young women with emotional-sexual women, focusing on the care and constructed meanings about sexual health. Thus, this research is justified by two main questions: the first refers to the need to map the lines of force that enabled the experience of women with emotional-sexual practices with women being taken so as discreet to think about the specific health and the second refers to what psychology can contribute to the camp theme, since the findings of epidemiological risks that affect these women, so that it can provide insight to understand the words and senses obscured in the data health. Thus, the work in question was performed by means of what we call meetings (talk)action with seven young women with emotional-sexual practices with women between 18 and 30, in Rio de Janeiro, and with eight Gynecologists Doctors. The data indicate that with the exception of women included in the LGBT social movement, preventing the sexual act is not an issue for participants. This attitude has relations with the way the subject is produced by the medical discourse, in the absence of scientific information more consistent about the risks of infection allows such fees shall be taken as meaningless. We consider that the participation of institutionalized discourse has an important role in the insertion of the issue of sexual health in this state.

Abstract:
As diversas facetas da sexualidade estão se tornando cada vez mais visíveis na sociedade atual e duas categorias que começam a ganhar espaço e visibilidade na contemporaneidade são as das transexuais e das travestis. Transexuais são pessoas que não se identificam com seus genitais biológicos (e suas atribuições socioculturais) podendo, às vezes, utilizar da cirurgia de transgenitalização para construir suas expressões de gêneros em consonância com seu bem estar biopsicossocial e político; enquanto travestis são pessoas que se identificam com as imagens e estilos de gêneros (masculinos e femininos) contrários ao seu sexo biológico (machos e fêmeas), que desejam e se apropriam de indumentárias e adereços dessas estéticas; realizam com frequência a transformação de seus corpos por meio da ingestão de hormônios e/ou da aplicação de silicone industrial, assim como, pelas cirurgias de correção estética e de implante de próteses, o que lhes permitem se situar dentro de uma condição agradável de bem estar biopsicossocial. Diversos estudos têm sido realizados, tendo essas pessoas como alvo. No entanto, são poucos os que focalizam as necessidades, desejos e fantasias das mesmas no que tange à esfera sexual. Este estudo tem como objetivo conhecer a vida sexual de travestis e transexuais, dando ênfase às suas práticas e roteiros sexuais. A pesquisa tem enfoque metodológico qualitativo e utiliza a teoria dos roteiros sexuais de Gagnon como referencial teórico. Os dados foram colhidos mediante a aplicação de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas. Foram entrevistadas 15 pessoas, de 19 a 58 anos, entre travestis, transexuais que já realizaram a cirurgia de redesignação sexual e transexuais que não a realizaram. As entrevistas aconteceram em situação face a face e foram audiogravadas. Também foi utilizado o diário de campo para anotações do pesquisador. Posteriormente, essas foram transcritas integral e literalmente, constituindo o corpus da pesquisa. Os achados foram sistematizados, de modo a capturar os modos de organização da vida sexual, os tipos de práticas e os roteiros sexuais, além dos desejos, fantasias, ações e relações que as circunscrevem. Pode-se notar a incorporação de diversos discursos pertencentes à cultura ocidental, em especial a cultura brasileira, sendo os quatro principais: o discurso do gênero, o do amor romântico, o médicocientífico e o erótico. Alguns dos aspectos desses discursos são incorporados fielmente aos roteiros, enquanto outros sofrem improvisações de cada colaboradora. Esses discursos são usados para legitimar a condição feminina de cada uma delas, assim como, para construir suas visões do sexo e de mundo. No nível interpessoal, foram caracterizadas relações unilaterais em diversos níveis e o elemento de sedução como constituinte dos roteiros das colaboradoras profissionais do sexo. As práticas de penetração (sexo vaginal e anal) foram as mais enfatizadas nos discursos, seguidas do sexo oral em detrimento de beijos e carícias, que apesar de pouco referidos, foram mencionados como de extrema importância. Acredita-se que este estudo poderá trazer contribuições relevantes para a compreensão das singularidades da vida sexual de transexuais e travestis, assim como para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de saúde focalizadas nas questões sexuais dessas pessoas.
The many facets of sexuality are becoming more visible in society today and two categories that are gaining visibility in contemporary space are transsexuals and travestis. Transsexuals are people who do not identify with their biological genitalia (and their sociocultural assignments) and can, sometimes, use the reassignment surgery to build their expressions of gender in line with their biopsychosocial and political welfare; while travestis are people who identify with the images and styles of genders (masculine and feminine) contrary to their biological sex (male and female), who wish and appropriate costumes and props of such aesthetic; who perform often transformations on their bodies through ingestion of hormones and/or the application of industrial silicone, as well as by cosmetic surgery and prostheses implants, which allow them to be located within a pleasant welfare biopsychosocial condition. Several studies have been conducted with these people as their target. However, there are few that focus on the needs, desires and fantasies of this people regarding the sexual sphere. This study aims to know the sex lives of travestis and transsexuals, emphasizing their sexual practices and sexual scripts. The research has a qualitative methodological approach and uses the Gagnons theory of sexual scripts. Data were collected through the application of semistructured interviews. We interviewed 15 people, with ages between 19 and 58 years old, between travestis, transsexuals who already underwent sex reassignment surgery and transsexuals who didnt undergo the surgery. The interviews were carried out in face to face situation and were audio recorded. The notes filed of the researcher were also used. Later, the interviews were transcribed in full and literally, constituting the corpus of research. The findings were organized in order to capture the ways of organization of sexual life, the kinds of practices and sexual scripts, as well as desires, fantasies, actions and relations that circumscribe them. It may be noted the incorporation of several speeches belonging to Western culture, especially the Brazilian culture, with the top four being: the gender speech, the romantic love speech, the medical-scientific speech and the erotic speech. Some aspects of these speeches are faithfully embedded into the scripts, while others suffer improvisations of each collaborator. These speeches are used to legitimize the feminine condition of each collaborator, as well as to build their visions of sex and of the world. At the interpersonal level, unilateral relationships were characterized at various levels and the element of seduction as a constituent of the scripts of the sex workers collaborators. Penetration practices (vaginal and anal sex) were more emphasized in speeches, followed by oral sex instead of kisses and caresses, which although rarely reported, were quoted as extremely important. It is believed that this study will bring significant contributions to the understanding of the singularities of the sexual life of transsexuals and travestis, as well as for the development of public health policies focused on sexual issues of these people.

Abstract:
A decline in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence rates have been observed among females ages 15 to 19 years and 20 to 24 years in Zimbabwe between 2005 and 2010. However, for males 15 to 19 years, rising trends were observed, whereas for males ages 20 to 24 years, rates fluctuated between 2005 and 2011. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine relationships between sexual behaviors and practices and HIV prevalence among young males and females ages 15 to 24 years in Zimbabwe. Guided by constructs of proximate determinants framework, extracted data from two National Demographic Health surveys of 2005/06 and 2010/11 were analyzed using chi square and binary logistic regression. This study revealed that sexual practices, relationship status, and education status increase the odds of being HIV positive differently among 15 to 19-year-olds and 20 to 24-year-olds based on gender and changes through time. Significant relationship existed between HIV positive serostatus and total number of life time partners among females 15 to 19 years and 20 to 24 years; lack of condom use among males 20 to 24 years in 2005/06; early sexual debut and lower education status among females 20 to 24 years; and being widowed, separated, or divorced among males and females 20 to 24 years in 2010/11. The Odds of being HIV positive for males ages 15 to 19 years was not predicted by sexual practice, creating a need for future study. This study can contribute to positive social change by providing information about the associations between HIV serostatus and the assessed risk factors, which may help promote awareness about HIV infection risk, thereby helping develop and implement targeted public health interventions to reduce the burden of HIV.

Abstract:
Everyday objects are usually visually designed to imply that they belong to men or women. They are, thereby, tools for people to represent their gender identities. However, even though gendered design is a common topic in academic research, the representation of gender diversity remains relatively marginal. This study aims to organize people's life experiences with different gender identities to explore visual design strategies that change the original gender implication of everyday objects, thus representing gender diversity and promoting social inclusion of sexual minorities. To do so, a participatory design game workshop has been created and conducted. Three game characters with diverse gender identities were developed, and design materials that implied gender binary or diversity were provided, such as everyday objects and visual elements. During the workshop, six participants imagined themselves as admirers of the game characters and used the prepared materials to design gifts for them that fit their gender identities. The results of the workshop show that the gender implication of objects can be changed through reorganizing visual elements of color, shape, decoration, and cultural symbols. In addition, cisgender heterosexual participants preferred to represent diverse gender identities through innovative arrangements of gender-stereotypical visual elements, while participants that belong to sexual minorities preferred to adopt personalized design strategies to "de-genderize" everyday objects. This variation may be caused by the tendency of cisgender heterosexual people to confirm their gender identity through gender stereotypes, while sexual minority people escape the binary gender system through individualized representation. Therefore, the study concludes that design process representing gender diversity not only needs critique and innovation, but that de-genderdizing strategies cultivated by sexual minorities from their practices are also essential design resources.

Abstract:
Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is a major problem, which has significant negative impacts on victims/survivors, wider society and peace prospects. There is growing international recognition of the need to combat it. CRSV monitoring and early warning are vital in this regard, enabling effective responses and preventive measures. Various factors, notably social stigma, mean that CRSV is vastly under-reported. Best practices to promote CRSV monitoring and early warning include: having appropriate staff (including specialist personnel); engaging with local communities to promote reporting of cases and of warning signals; following principles such as ensuring confidentiality, informed consent and respect for victims/survivors; using standardised data collection templates to facilitate information sharing and analysis; assessing CRSV risks in context against a prepared matrix of early warning indicators; carrying out awareness-raising and advocacy on CRSV; and, where risks are identified, raising the alarm in affected communities. This review looks at best practices in monitoring conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), and in CRSV early warning. It draws largely on grey literature, in particular reports of development organisations such as the United Nations. Much of the literature focuses on peacekeeping missions: far less was found with regard to the role of other actors (e.g. NGOs) in CRSV monitoring and early warning. [Note: there is substantial academic literature on the problem of CRSV rather than on best practices to combat it.] In addition, the review found no in-depth evidence (e.g. evaluations) on the experience of applying CRSV monitoring and early warning practices in specific contexts. Given the subject, the available literature does refer to women and girls, but was largely disability-blind. URI

Full text
Abstract:
Sexual assault is a violent crime that traumatizes individual victims and endangers entire communities. Every victim of sexual assault deserves an opportunity for justice and access to the resources they need to recover from this trauma. In addition, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are serial offenders who also commit other violent crimes, including armed robberies, aggravated assaults, burglary, domestic violence, and homicides, against strangers and acquaintances. Criminal justice agencies have the power to create a strategic, sustainable plan for an improved response to sexual assault that aligns with current best practices and national recommendations. In this document, we define an “improved response” as an approach that supports effective investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, holds perpetrators accountable, and promotes healing and recovery for victims of sexual assault. This guide will help prosecutor and law enforcement agencies create a process with milestones, goals, and suggested actions, all designed to support a successful and sustainable approach for addressing sexual assault cases. Improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault ultimately improves public safety and promotes trust between criminal justice agencies and the communities they serve.

Abstract:
This rapid review provides examples of what has worked to include people in humanitarian assistance who experience heightened vulnerability during crises, due to social inequalities and discrimination relating to gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, and sex characteristics; and religious belief . Overall, robust evidence is limited for what are, in most cases, relatively new areas of practice in challenging crisis situations. However, the literature does identify promising practices. Emerging themes from the research on what has potential for improving inclusion in humanitarian assistance include: affected people’s meaningful participation in intervention planning and design; whole-of-community approaches while maintaining accountability to the targeted beneficiaries; multi-component approaches combining complementary strategies (e.g. economic empowerment with social norms change programming); longer-term, pre-crisis investment in relationships with, and capacity building of, local organisations; and disaggregating data and undertaking intersectional analyses to include those hardest to reach.

Abstract:
This report aims to identify a selection of programmes and projects undertaken by countries under their respective National Action Plans. It focuses on discrete, large-scale initiatives that specifically target aspects of the WPS agenda and aim to influence change outside the implementing agencies, rather than changing agencies’ own policies and practices. Common themes that appear frequently across these programmes and projects include: supporting global pools of technical capacity on WPS and on peacebuilding generally; training military, police, and other personnel from partner countries, including building women’s professional capacities as well as training personnel in WPS-related good practices; supporting WPS networks and forums to share experience and expertise; extensive use of multilateral mechanisms for channelling funding and for sharing technical capacity; extensive support to and collaboration with civil society organisations; initiatives focusing on combating violent extremism and counter-terrorism; initiatives focusing on preventing sexual exploitation and abuse in peacekeeping and humanitarian contexts; a wide range of commitments to stopping gender-based violence; and support for sexual and reproductive health initiatives. All of the countries discussed in this report also undertake considerable efforts to change policies and practices within their own agencies. In addition, all of the countries discussed in this report undertake a range of initiatives focused on individual countries; smaller donors, in particular, often focus many of their own programmes on single countries while using multilateral mechanisms to engage at the regional and global scales. However, in accordance with the terms of reference for this report, these types of activities are not discussed below. In the time available for this report, it was possible to review six countries’ activities. These countries were selected for inclusion because they had sufficient documentation readily accessible in the form of action plans, implementation plans, and progress reports; they are donor countries with significant international activities that may be considered peers to the UK; and/or they have been cited in the literature as being leaders in promoting the WPS agenda.

Abstract:
Many of the most pressing conflicts across sub-Saharan Africa today—including violent extremism, sexual and gender-based violence, pastoralist/farmer conflicts, and criminal banditry—are shaped by local, community-level drivers. Despite these local drivers, however, international peacebuilding approaches often ignore or neglect bottom-up, grassroots strategies for addressing them. Often, international efforts to contribute to the prevention and management of local conflicts depend heavily on large-scale, expensive, and external interventions like peacekeepers, while under-investing in or by-passing traditional/customary mechanisms and resources that uphold locally defined values of peace, tolerance, solidarity, and respect. Recognizing that these traditional and customary practices themselves sometimes have their own legacies of violence and inequality, this policy note emphasizes the possibility of combining aspects of traditional peacebuilding mechanisms with international conflict management approaches to harness the benefits of both.

Abstract:
This rapid literature review summarises the key evidence on the impact of social inequalities and discrimination on vulnerability to crises. The review focuses on inequalities among groups in society arising from the discrimination of people based on their gender; age; disability; sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, and sex characteristics; and religious belief. It has looked for evidence on whether – and how – these inequalities and associated discriminatory norms and practices affect people’s experiences of a severe humanitarian crisis. The review looks mainly at the impact on individuals, with a final section briefly summarising key points on the impact of social inequalities and discrimination on collective vulnerability to crises. The scope of this rapid review is limited to providing some illustrative examples of the evidence relevant to this broad query. It is not a comprehensive mapping of all the available evidence; the review has been undertaken through nine days of research, through online searching of publicly available and English language materials, and input from a few experts.
