“…This pattern of isolating identities is further observed when considering the representation of diverse gender identities within the articles included in this analysis. Despite TGE individuals being included in the LGBT umbrella label, scientific literature, media, and health promotion efforts continue to neglect TGE individuals' experiences, as does sex-positive research (Tenney et al, 2021). For instance, research that nominally includes TGE individuals under the LGBT umbrella often fails to acknowledge how experiences of gender (specifically gender-confirming hormone and surgical interventions) can impact pleasure through masturbation, frequency of engaging in sexual activities, and sexual desire (Nikkelen & Kreukels, 2018).…”

Sexual satisfaction (i.e., feeling sexually fulfilled) and sexual pleasure (i.e., positive physical and emotional experiences during sex) are predominantly studied among heterosexual, white, cisgender samples; whereas, sex research using lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) samples has often taken a deficit-based approach (e.g., sexually transmitted infection, engagement in risky sex). By studying this population predominantly within a deficit-based approach, the risk of pathologizing them rises, especially among multiply marginalized LGBQ+ individuals. Among the studies that do employ a sex-positive lens with LGBQ+ samples, existing scholarship has not been systematically reviewed to determine the representation of plurisexual individuals (i.e., bisexual and pansexual), how these studies depict their intersecting marginalized racial and gender identities, or the inclusion of LGBQ+-specific variables (i.e., internalized homonegativity [IH], internalized binegativity [IB], identity pride [IP]). To address these questions, we conducted a 38-year (1983-2021) content analysis of literature studying sexual satisfaction and/or sexual pleasure among LGBQ+ individuals. Of 75 articles analyzed, sexual satisfaction was measured more frequently (N = 65) than sexual pleasure (N = 10). While roughly half of the articles (N = 39) included bisexual participants, on average they comprised only 10.58% of the sample. Pansexual (N = 5) or queer (N = 9) identities were significantly less represented within samples. Twelve articles included IH, one article included IB more specifically, and two articles included identity affirmation or pride. Only 12 articles included samples that were not predominately white and 11 articles included transgender or gender-expansive participants. Implications for future research among plurisexual samples will be discussed. Public Significance StatementThis content analysis indicates that plurisexual individuals overall and plurisexual individuals who hold other intersecting marginalized identities are vastly underrepresented in sex-positive research focusing on the LGBTQ+ community. Our findings highlight the need for intentional study design that is specifically catered to the unique experiences of multiply marginalized plurisexual individuals.

“…Recent studies have focused on health information seeking by sexual and gender minority youth and information seeking by men who have sex with men (MSM) on topics such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a medication that decreases the risk of HIV transmission [25,26,27]. Other studies have focused on information seeking by transgender and gender diverse persons, in areas such as breast cancer screening and human papillomavirus vaccination [28,29]. In a library-centered study, Drake and Bielefield reported on the information needs of transgender library patrons.…”

Objective: LGBTQ+ health research guides can strengthen the LGBTQ+ community through connecting people to quality health services and information, and previous studies have recommended that health sciences libraries create and maintain these guides. Little evidence exists, though, on how these guides are used and how well they meet the needs of LGBTQ+ users. Using retrospective data retrieved from multiple LGBTQ+ health research guides, we examined the categories of LGBTQ+ health information most used, as well as how often guides were accessed. Based on these results, we hope to find patterns which can lead to best practices for libraries. Methods: Five North American academic health sciences libraries contributed select usage data from their LGBTQ+ health research guides, covering a three-year period (July 2018-June 2021). Data was analyzed in two ways. Firstly, the 20 most-clicked resources from each guide were categorized through open coding, to assess if certain information resource categories were more popular among guide users, allowing for inference of user needs. A time-series analysis was also conducted for two sites, using the Classical Seasonal Decomposition by Moving Averages method, to provide deeper insights into the data. Results: Open coding data showed consumer health information resources were used more often than other health resource categories. Resources from more locally based organizations and those with provider and services information were heavily used, indicating that users may be looking for information connecting to local health services and providers. The time series analysis allowed the potential positive effect of guide promotion to be showcased in ways that would not have been clear from the raw data. Conclusion: This study shows that people are accessing LGBTQ+ consumer health information through academic library research guides, with a preference for local information. Guide usage appears to be positively driven by outreach within one’s institution and to the greater community. Locating external partners may increase guide impact and provide important links to local resources and services.
