- Sexual Excitation and Inhibition Moderate the Strength of Concordance Between Paraphilic Interests and Behaviorsby Sacha Maimone on December 24, 2024
The concordance between paraphilic interest and behavior is moderate to strong in previous studies. In the present study, we examined whether sexual excitation (SE) and sexual inhibition (SI) moderate the concordance between paraphilic interest and behavior, across several paraphilic themes. We expected that stronger concordance would be found at high levels of SE and weaker concordance would be found at high levels of SI, for both men and women. We expected stronger effects when high levels of...
- Bion/Winnicott encounter: absence, failure and the negative in the work of Bion and Winnicottby Howard B Levine on November 25, 2024
After the death of Freud, a major thrust of the expansion of psychoanalytic theory involved the increasing recognition that the actuality of the emotional functioning of the object,-the primary objects in the infant's development, the analyst as object in the treatment process-were crucial determinants of developmental and therapeutic outcome. This recognition has been the driving force behind the evolution of various iterations of the role of interaction, inter-affectivity and intersubjectivity...
- "It Felt Sexually Liberating": An Examination of How Black Women's Awareness of Kink and BDSM Informs Their Sex Livesby Natalie Malone on November 19, 2024

Qualitative data were from Phase Two of The Big Sex Study, a...
- Investigating the Invisible: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Testing the Entertainment-Education Model to Provide a PrEP Education Intervention to Kink-Involved Populationsby Richard A Sprott on November 7, 2024
A growing proportion of the global population engages in alternative sexual behaviors and relationships, which are commonly grouped and known as kink or BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism-masochism). Mainstream stigma and provider pathologizing of these behaviors and relationships may make kink-involved populations reticent to seek health care treatment. Moreover, some kink activities appear to expose kink-involved people to higher risks for HIV infection. To date, no studies...
