1. Mediators of Change in Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness-Based Online-Interventions for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Dysfunction in Women.
PMID:日期:2026-10-01Low sexual desire is a common sexual problem among women. When it is accompanied by significant personal distress, it may be diagnosed as hypoactive sexual desire dysfunction (HSDD). Both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) are effective treatments for HSDD when delivered in person or online. In this randomized controlled treatment study, CBT and MBT consisted of eight guided self-help modules delivered online, and participants completed measures at pretreatment and after 3, 6, and 12 months. Nine variables were examined as potential mediators of treatment outcomes (i.e., sexual desire and sexual distress), namely mindfulness, self-compassion, rumination, body connection, self-consciousness, relationship satisfaction, sexual communication, depression, and anxiety. In total, 212 women diagnosed with HSDD were randomized to either CBT or MBT ( = 36.3, = 10.2). Improvements in self-compassion, rumination, body connection, and self-consciousness partially mediated treatment outcomes in at least one of the treatment groups. Mediation effects were mostly small, explaining up to 15% of the total effects. No systematic differences in mediation pathways between CBT and MBT were found. These findings emphasize the importance of emotion regulation, metacognitive processes, and embodiment for the effective treatment of HSDD. Future research should refine treatment components to enhance efficacy and ensure that psychological interventions adequately address common concerns among women with HSDD.

2. Mindfulness and Sex Education for Sexual Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Survivors: Mediators and Moderators of Treatment Outcome.
PMID:日期:2026-10-01Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and supportive-expressive sex education therapy (STEP) are effective group treatments for sexual dysfunction after breast cancer (BrCa). We explored mediators and moderators of outcomes following the 8-week groups. BrCa survivors ( = 116, mean age = 49.9 ± 9.5) were randomized to group and completed measures before, immediately after, and 6 months after treatment. Mediators assessed were changes in depression, chronic pain acceptance, pain catastrophizing, and trait mindfulness. Potential moderators included age, treatment expectations, baseline mental health, cancer treatment duration, use of chemotherapy, and adjuvant endocrine therapy. Longitudinal mediation and moderation were assessed using linear mixed models. Increases in pain acceptance mediated improvements in sexual desire and reductions in both sexual distress and vaginal pain. Decreases in pain catastrophizing mediated improvements in sexual distress. Higher expectations for treatment led to greater reductions in sexual distress. Those with low baseline anxiety showed greater improvements in desire and distress. Low baseline depression predicted greater improvements in desire, but only in the STEP arm. Older STEP participants improved significantly more than younger STEP participants. Cancer-related treatment variables, and the impact of adjuvant endocrine therapy, had differential effects on outcomes based on the treatment arm of the study. In conclusion, treatments aimed at improving pain acceptance and pain catastrophizing are likely to promote improvements in sexual health among BrCa survivors, and factoring in patients' expectations about treatment improvements, depression and anxiety, age, duration of cancer treatment, chemotherapy, and adjuvant hormonal therapy may help to guide treatment recommendations for sexual dysfunction.

3. Body Shame and Sexual Sensation Seeking Contribute to Associations Between Interpersonal Objectification Experiences and Sex-Linked Substance Use Among Women in College.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Objectification theory suggests that women who are treated as sexual objects may disengage from internal bodily experiences, increasing their risk for sexual dysfunction. Extending this framework, it is possible that when objectification dulls women's sexual sensation, they turn to substances they believe will heighten sexual sensation (i.e. sex-linked substance use; SLSU). The present study examined relationships between interpersonal sexual objectification and women's SLSU, with self-objectification, body shame, and sexual sensation seeking as potential mediators. Women ( = 573) recruited from a Midwestern US university completed validated measures of objectification experiences, self-objectification, body shame, sexual sensation seeking, and SLSU. Serial mediation analyses revealed that both body evaluation and unwanted sexual advances were strongly associated with body shame, which in turn predicted greater sexual sensation seeking and SLSU. Strong associations between self-objectification and sensation seeking further underscore the importance of attending to women's strategies for enhancing pleasure and embodiment in models of objectification and sexual functioning. Clarifying sequelae of SLSU can inform interventions aimed at reducing women's alienation from their sexual selves and supporting sexual wellbeing.

4. Condomless Sex Among Men Who Have Sex with Men: App-Facilitated Versus Non-App-Facilitated Relationships.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01It is unclear whether online partner-seeking via (geo)social networking and dating websites or applications ("apps") is associated with engagement in condomless anal sex (CAS) among MSM (men who have sex with men). Previous studies present mixed findings revealing either positive, or negative, or no associations between online partner-seeking and CAS among MSM, indicating a need for additional research. This cross-sectional survey of young adult MSM residing in 15 Central Kentucky counties, USA ( = 217) provided demographic, behavioral, and relationship data about male or transgender partners ( = 548), with whom respondents had recent (past 6 months) anal sex. We used multivariable generalized linear mixed effects modeling to compare engagement in CAS (i.e. used condoms only sometimes or never) between app-facilitated and non-app-facilitated relationships. Our analysis revealed most relationships involved CAS (72%), but there were no differences between app-facilitated and non-app-facilitated partnerships. Increasing age of nominated partners (especially within non-app-facilitated relationships); White, non-Hispanic race-ethnicity of respondents; daily communication with nominated partners; and respondents' lifetime history of sex with individuals living with HIV were independently associated with higher odds of CAS. Our findings showed app-facilitated relationships were no "riskier" in terms of CAS than other relationships. A large proportion of partnerships reporting CAS urges for diverse strategies designed and implemented via apps and more traditional venue outreach to promote (self-)testing, consistent condom use, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake.

5. Psychedelics and Sexual Trauma: Effects on Communication and Emotional Connection.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Psychedelics are theorized to enhance emotional openness and interpersonal attunement, but their effects in sexual contexts - particularly among those with a history of sexual trauma - remain underexplored. This study investigated whether individuals who had used psychedelics to cope with or overcome sexual trauma (Psy-CST) reported different experiences of sexual communication and emotional connection compared to those who had not (No-Psy-CST). The Psy-CST label reflects participants' self-classification based on a single survey item; the study did not assess whether psychedelics were intentionally used as a means of trauma recovery. Rather, it examined self-reported experiences within sexual contexts among these groups. Participants ( = 675; = 32.8) were drawn from the 2022 Global Drug Survey and had engaged in sexual activity within four to six hours of a full psychedelic experience. Chi-square tests and regression analyses were used to compare outcomes between groups. Psy-CST participants were significantly less likely to report improved sexual communication (relative risk ratio [RRR] = 0.310, < .01); no significant differences were observed for emotional connection (odds ratio [OR] = 1.160, = .536). Within the Psy-CST group, women were significantly more likely than men to report improved communication (RRR = 1.83, = .02) and emotional connection (OR = 1.85, < .01). Findings suggest gender significantly moderates psychedelics' effects on intimacy outcomes. Further research is needed to inform harm reduction and trauma-informed care frameworks for psychedelic use in sexual contexts.

6. Sexual Victimization in Contexts of Chemsex: A Scoping Review with Harm Reduction Implications.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Chemsex, understood as a form of sexualized drug use that involves a range of psychoactive substance and sociocultural contexts, has been associated with various physical and psychological risks. Among these, sexual victimization remains a critical yet underexplored issue. This scoping review synthesizes literature on sexual victimization in chemsex to identify key patterns, risk factors, and research gaps. A systematic search was conducted in multiple databases, following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review guidelines. Fifteen empirical studies met the inclusion criteria and were assessed for methodological quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Three main themes were identified: (1) experiences of nonconsensual sex acts; (2) sexual consent, self-perception, and labeling sexual victimization; (3) risk factors for sexual victimization. Reports of sexual victimization in chemsex are significant, particularly in cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault. Moreover, the understanding of consent remains ambiguous, and there is little perception and acknowledgment of victimization experiences. Several risk factors, including specific substances such as gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), younger age, and power dynamics contribute to this phenomenon. Based on the results, harm reduction strategies were proposed at three different levels to mitigate risks (public and policy, health care and support professionals, and practitioners). Future research should refine measurement tools and further investigate protective factors and intervention effectiveness.

7. "It's a Beautiful Feeling": Exploring Embodied, Psychological, and Gendered Motivations for Sex Under the Influence of Cannabis Among Young Adults.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Cannabis is the second most used substance in sexual contexts after alcohol, particularly among young adults. Understanding motivations underlying sex under the influence of cannabis can shed light on the needs these practices fulfill, deepening knowledge and providing critical insights for sexual well-being promotion. Moreover, little research has examined how gender shapes these motivations. This study explored motivations for sex under the influence of cannabis among young adults and the role of gender. Participants aged 18-24 ( = 27) took part in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was conducted, using a combined inductive and deductive coding process, and interpretations were considered in light of the Gender Structure Framework, which conceptualizes gender as a social structure operating across multiple dimensions. Three categories of motivations were constructed: transformed sexuality (e.g. heightened sensations, enhanced connection), facilitated sex (e.g. eased anxiety, lessened concerns), and contextual influences (e.g. routine, sex-cannabis associations), within which several gendered dynamics were visible. This study highlights the importance of considering gender, pleasure, and agency in both research and services. Understanding the role cannabis plays in meeting sexual needs can help guide the development of sexual health and sexual well-being promotion approaches that are non-stigmatizing, gender-specific, and responsive to young adults' realities.

8. Sexual Identity and Condomless Sex Among Mexican MSM: The Overlooked Role of Heterosexual-Identified MSM.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01HIV prevention efforts in Mexico often overlook heterosexual-identified men who have sex with men (H-MSM), a subgroup at elevated risk for HIV. Using data from the 2021-2022 National Survey on Sexual and Gender Diversity (ENDISEG), we examined condomless sex among cisgender MSM, categorizing participants by sexual identity (heterosexual vs. gay, bisexual, or other non-heterosexual), sexual behavior (only male partners vs. both male and female), and their combinations: H-MSM, H-MSMW, GB+MSM, and GB+MSMW. Among cisgender men, 3.9% ( = 775) reported a male sexual partner in the past year, and 41% of them identified as heterosexual. Condomless sex was reported by 63.8% of MSM overall and was most common among H-MSM (74.4%). Probit regression analysis showed significantly lower probabilities of condomless sex among H-MSMW (-19.8%), GB+MSM (-14.8%), and GB+MSMW (-15.9%) compared to H-MSM. Additional risk factors included older age, lower education, and depression. These findings underscore the limitations of considering MSM as one group and reveal a sizable, high-risk subgroup that may be missed by current HIV programs. Effective prevention strategies must integrate sexual identity and behavior and be adapted to Mexico's sociocultural context. Identity-sensitive approaches, particularly for H-MSM and H-MSMW, are essential to reduce HIV transmission in this population.

9. The Role of Alcohol-Related Protective Behavioral Strategies in the Relationship Among Facets of Trait Impulsivity, Alcohol Use Severity, and Risky Sexual Behavior Among College Students.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Impulsivity and alcohol consumption are linked to increased risky sexual behaviors, but the role of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) in this relationship is underexplored. This study examined whether PBS moderates the relationship among trait impulsivity, alcohol use (AU) severity, and risky sexual behavior (RSB). A moderated mediation analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data from a study on a text-based intervention among college students ( = 524; Mage = 20.93, SD = 3.51; Female = 70.1%). Results showed that greater positive urgency and lack of perseverance were significantly associated with elevated AU. The negative association between perseverance and AU increased at high levels of PBS subfactor manner of drinking but decreased at high levels of serious harm reduction. Across all serious harm reduction levels, the AU-RSB association remained strong. Conditional indirect effects revealed that the indirect association between positive urgency and RSB via AU was significant at all serious harm reduction levels. The indirect effect of perseverance on RSB via AU was pronounced when serious harm reduction was low, and the manner of drinking was average to high, or serious harm reduction was average, and the manner of drinking was high, or serious harm reduction was high, and the manner of drinking was average. Findings highlight the role of PBS in mitigating alcohol-related harm among impulsive young adults. This implies that there is a need for carefully designed interventions that target the nuanced interplay among impulsivity traits, alcohol use severity, and risky sexual behavior by implementing specific protective behavioral strategies.

10. "Magical": Using Substances During Sex Among Substance-Involved Sexual Assault Survivors.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01People often engage in substance use during sexual activity, and substance-involved sexual assault survivors are also likely to engage in this behavior in their lifetimes and post-assault. However, most literature frames this behavior as a "sexual risk" behavior when attributed to sexual assault survivors and has not asked survivors directly about their substance-involved sex. Using a sex positive framework, the current study used qualitative interviews (N = 34) to investigate a diverse, community sample of survivors' sex while using drugs and/or alcohol. Through thematic analysis, four themes were found: 1) facilitating physical and emotional pleasure; 2) control and agency during substance-involved sex; 3) communication and boundaries during substance-involved sex; and 4) shame/stigma of enjoying substance-involved sex. Implications for research that moves away from a pathologizing framework of substance-involved sex and adding more nuance to sexual consent education are discussed.
