Abstract: Relationship between sexual desire and sexual arousal (objective and subjective). The explanatory capacity of partner-focused dyadic sexual desire, dyadic sexual desire for an attractive person, and solitary sexual desire on the objective and subjective sexual arousal was examined. The sample was composed of 60 heterosexual young people (Mage = 22.46; SD = 3.20). First, participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Spanish version of the Sexual Desire Inventory. Then, an experimental task was performed consisting of the exposure to neutral and erotic content videos while registering the genital response. After the erotic video participants completed the Rating of Sexual Arousal Scale. In men, partner-focused sexual desire explained the objective sexual arousal (R2 = .31), and sexual desire for an attractive person explained the subjective sexual arousal (R2 = .23). In women, only partner-focused sexual desire explained objective sexual arousal (R2 = .17).Keywords: Sexual desire; objective sexual arousal; subjective sexual arousal; gender differences.Resumen: Se examina la capacidad explicativa del deseo sexual diádico hacia la pareja, diádico hacia una persona atractiva y en solitario sobre la excitación sexual objetiva y subjetiva. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 60 jóvenes heterosexuales (M edad = 22.46; DT = 3.20). En primer lugar, los participantes contestaron un Cuestionario Sociodemográfico y la versión española del Sexual Desire Inventory. A continuación, se realizó una tarea experimental consistente en la exposición a videos de contenido neutro y sexual explícito, mientras se registraba simultáneamente la respuesta genital. Después del vídeo erótico se completó la escala Valoración de Excitación Sexual. En hombres, el deseo sexual diádico hacia la pareja explicó la excitación sexual objetiva (R2 = .31) y el deseo sexual diádico hacia una persona atractiva explicó la excitación sexual subjetiva (R2 = .23). En mujeres, únicamente el deseo sexual diádico hacia la pareja explicó la excitación sexual objetiva (R2 = .17). Palabras clave: deseo sexual; excitación sexual subjetiva; excitación sexual objetiva; diferencias sexuales.

The Relationship

The aim of this work was to provide validity evidences of the short Spanish version of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS-6). First, a psychometric study was performed to examine the factorial invariance of the scale across different groups. A sample of 1,500 heterosexual adults (50% men, 50% women) from the general Spanish population, aged 18 to 80, was examined. Results showed that the unidimensional model of the SOS-6 is invariant across sex, age range, relationship status, and educational level. Secondly, a laboratory study was performed to determine the relationship between erotophilia and objective and subjective sexual arousal in response to sexual stimuli. The sample consisted of 130 young Spanish university students (46.92% men, 53.08% women) with heterosexual orientation. In men, erotophilia was related to subjective sexual arousal; in women, erotophilia was related to subjective sexual arousal and estimation of genital sensations. In conclusion, this work provides validity evidences of the short version of the SOS-6 and describes the factorial equivalence of the scale across groups and its concurrent validity.

Gender Specific

Marked differences have been found in men’s and women’s sexual response patterns, contingent upon their sexual orientation; androphilic (attracted to men) and gynephilic (attracted to women) men demonstrate greatest genital and self-reported arousal to their preferred stimulus type (a “gender-specific” response), whereas androphilic women do not, and findings for gynephilic women have been mixed. While there have been many investigations into gynephilic men’s and androphilic women’s (i.e., heterosexual men/women) sexual response, there has been less investigation into the specificity of sexual response of androphilic men and gynephilic women. Given the complex nature of sexual stimuli that are used in sexual response research, it is often unclear to what extent contextual cues (e.g., cues other than the sexual actor’s primary and secondary sex characteristics, such as physical attractiveness, sexual activity, etc.) influence participants’ sexual response patterns. As such, the current study examined genital, discrete self-reported, and continuous self-reported responses of androphilic men ( n = 22) and gynephilic women ( n = 10) to prepotent sexual features (stimuli thought to elicit automatic sexual arousal: erect penises and exposed vulvas), non-prepotent sexual features (flaccid penises and pubic triangles) and neutral stimuli (clothed men and women). Both samples exhibited a gender-specific pattern of genital, self-reported, and continuous self-reported sexual arousal. Similarly, all measures of sexual arousal were generally found to be greatest to “prepotent” sexual cues. Implications for understanding gender specificity of sexual response are discussed.

O eixo de atenção deste artigo é o conceito de eXtremo, de Massimo Canevacci, autor, cujas ideias inovadoras, e por que não dizer radicais, têm trazido boas contribuições para pesquisas sobre as juventudes, na interface comunicação/cultura/consumo na contemporaneidade. Trata-se também de uma perspectiva em plena discussão. Porque a temática juventude, destacada em inúmeras pesquisas, estudos, em incontáveis artigos, ensaios e livros que cada vez se proliferam mais, dada a sua crescente relevância, vem sendo abordada sob a perspectiva de vários campos do saber, gerando múltiplas possibilidades de percepção e teorização. Assim, estamos concordando com uma linha de pesquisadores, entre eles Canevacci, que caminham pelo terreno do múltiplo, do plural, envolvendo aspectos sócio-culturais-econômicos-geográficos que falam não de um jovem, mas de jovens; não de uma juventude, mas de juventudes. No limite deste trabalho, ficamos por aqui nesta justificativa para nos dedicar especificamente ao conceito de eXtremo e porque ele se mostra elemento-chave nas discussões que estamos proponho em nossas pesquisas em andamento sobre as juventudes, a cultura na pós-modernidade e os desafios à educação.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Juventudes; pós-modernidade; educação.     ABSTRACT The focus of this article is the concept of extreme, from Massimo Canevacci, author, whose innovative ideas, and why not say radicals, have brought good contributions to research on youth, at the interface communication / culture / consumption in the contemporary world.It is also a perspective in full discussion. Because the thematic youth, highlighted in countless researches, studies, countless articles, essays and books that are increasingly proliferating, given their increasing relevance, has been approached from the perspective of several fields of knowledge, generating multiple possibilities of perception and theorizing. Thus, we are agreeing with a line of researchers, among them Canevacci, who walk through the terrain of multiple, plural, involving socio-cultural-economic-geographical aspects that speak not of a young person but of young people; not of a youth but of youth. At the limit of this work, we remain here in this justification to dedicate ourselves specifically to the concept of eXtreme and because it is a key element in the discussions that we are proposing in our ongoing research about youth, culture in postmodernity and the challenges to education.   KEYWORDS: Youth; postmodernity; education.     RESUMEN El eje de atención de este artículo es el concepto de eXtremo, de Massimo Canevacci autor, cuyas ideas innovadoras, y por qué no decir radicales, han traído buenos aportes para investigaciones sobre las juventudes, en el interfaz comunicación/cultura/consumo en la contemporaneidad.

Resumen El presente artículo presenta algunos de los resultados obtenidos en dos intervenciones con jóvenes de escuelas secundarias públicas, ubicadas en la Ciudad de México y en el Estado de México. A partir del diagnóstico realizado con observación participante, entrevistas y la sistematización de talleres; se aplicó una intervención educativa desde la propuesta teórico metodológica que combina el enfoque de juventudes y la educación para la paz y derechos humanos. De ambas intervenciones, resalta la necesidad de tender puentes dialógicos como un elemento central para la formación de autonomía en jóvenes desde el dispositivo escolar. A modo de conclusión se proponen algunos elementos para la construcción de autonomía de los sujetos jóvenes, quienes requieren ser reconocidos como agentes sociales con capacidad de transformar de su entorno como elemento central para la dignificación y construcción de paz en los espacios escolares. Palabras clave: Jóvenes, autonomía, educación para la paz, empoderamient. Abstract This article presents some results obtained in two interventions with students in two Public High Schools located in Mexico City and in Mexico State. Based on the diagnosis made with active observation, interviews and the systematization of workshops; an educational intervention was applied from the theoretical-methodological proposal that combines the youth perspective, peace education and human rights approaches. Highlights on both interventions, the need to build dialogical bridges in schools as main autonomy construction element in young people training. Some elements are proposed as conclusion, for young people autonomy construction, who need to be recognized as social agents with the capacity to transform their environment as a central element for dignify and build-peace in schools. Keyworks: Youth, autonomy, education for peace, empowerment.

The Relationship

Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been associated with considerable mental health and interpersonal problems, an increase in risky sex, and is particularly prevalent among gay and bisexual men. Psychological treatment protocols for sexual dysfunctions often aim at challenging beliefs and cognitions about the importance of a “perfect sexual performance,” known as sexual stereotypes. However, to date, little empirical evidence exists for the relationship between ED and belief in sexual stereotypes (BSS). To address this gap, 70 gay men were recruited; 30 with ED and 40 healthy controls. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires, including a measure of BSS, followed by having their genital temperature measured using a thermal imaging camera, while viewing a sexually explicit film. The study had four main objectives: (1) to evaluate between group differences in subjective sexual arousal and physiological arousal; (2) to examine within group differences in the effects of BSS on physiological and self-reported sexual arousal; (3) to evaluate the relationship between BSS, negative automatic thoughts during sex, and ED; and (4) to evaluate the relationship between ED and risky sex among gay men. Results revealed significant between-group differences in physiological arousal, but not in subjective sexual arousal. While between-group differences were found in BSS, no within-group differences were found in the relation of BSS on physiological and self-reported sexual arousal. No significant relationships were found between BSS, negative automatic thoughts, and ED. Participants with ED were found to be significantly more likely to use erectile enhancing drugs, but no significant differences in condom removal were found between groups; however, substantially more individuals with ED (23.3%) reported removing condoms prior to the completion of sexual activity, as compared to healthy controls (5%). Findings of this study contribute to improving psychological treatments for gay men with ED, as well as better understanding pathways leading to risky sex in gay men.

The purpose of this study is to examine possible differences in genital and subjective components of sexual arousal between women with and without sexual arousal/desire difficulties (SADD). Previous research has focused on physiological differences with women who have SADD, in particular, genital response to erotic stimuli. The pattern of results in the literature indicates that women with SADD exhibit similar genital responses to controls (Meston, Rellini, & McCall, 2010), yet women with SADD typically report a decrease in intensity of genital sensation in sexual situations (Laan, van Driel, & van Lunsen, 2008; Giraldi, Rellini, Pfaus, & Laan, 2013), calling into question the method of measurement employed to assess genitalresponse. In the current study, genital and subjective arousal, along with genital-subjective agreement (i.e., sexual concordance), will be investigated to determine if there is a difference between women with SADD and controls. Participants will include 30 self-identified heterosexual women who will complete a validated self-report measure of sexual function and a session in which they rate their subjective sexual arousal while their genital blood flow is measured in response to various films. Laser Doppler Imaging will be used to measure genital blood flow for the first time in this population. This study could lead to a better understanding of sexual arousal in women with SADD, which will assist with diagnosis, as well as identify areas to focus on when trying to develop treatments for sexual dysfunction.
