“…For this reason, this study evaluates the physical and social environment, specific sexual behaviors, the perception of the impact of confinement, and also how variables such as emotional state have been able to influence a greater or lesser impact on sexuality. Moreover, gender perspective has been included because it is a relevant factor of the experience of sexuality, as shown by different reviews (Petersen & Hyde, 2010) and articles in which gender differences are shown in different sexual behaviors or aspects, such as, for example, in the experience of the first sexual relationship (Reissing et al, 2012), in performing online sexual activities (Shaughnessy et al, 2011), in sexting (Baumgartner et al, 2014), in the use and acceptance of pornography (Willoughby et al, 2014), in sexual infidelities (Gil-Llario et al, 2017), in masturbation (Driemeyer et al, 2017), or in the use of sex toys (Davis & Hines, 2020).…”

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic is becoming a major hazard to public health worldwide. This is causing a significant impact on life and physical health, as well as on the psychological well-being of the general population. Since the emotional distress and the social restrictions caused by this epidemic, it must be expected that its impact will also extend to sexual health. The purpose of this study, the first including a large sample of the Spanish general population, was to analyze sexual behavior during the 99 days of confinement in Spain (INSIDE Project). Method One thousand four hundred forty-eight Spanish people, between 18 and 60 years old, were evaluated through an online survey during April 2020. The variables analyzed were the physical and social environment during confinement, sexual desire, type of sexual activity, masturbation, sexual intercourse, online sexual activity, general sexual frequency, sexual fantasies, degree of self-control over sexual drive, sexual abuse, general impact of confinement on sexuality, and emotional mood. Results Confinement has affected the sexual life of half of the Spanish population (47.7%), especially women. Those who reported a worsening of their sexual life are almost three times more (37.9%) than those who reported an improvement (14.4%). Conclusions Different factors have been significant predictors of the positive or negative evaluation about the impact of this confinement on sexual life, such as gender, couple life, privacy, stress level, and the perception of confinement as unbearable. Policy Implications These results have important implications for the public health and more especially sexual health of the Spanish population.

“…Gender, race, ethnicity, and cohabitation status play an essential role in human sexuality, in particular, in terms of sexual frequency. 17 , 18 , 19 However, contradictory findings appeared across some predictors, such as education and age. For instance, although much research has revealed a positive association between the level of education and sexual frequency, other reports have seen no relation.…”

BackgroundSexual frequency is associated with the quality of life. China’s internal migrants that are sexually active are more likely to participate in sexual behavior. However, less work has been undertaken to assess the sexual frequency and its predictors in migrants.AimThis study seeks to explore which factors were related to sexual frequency in migrants and how the association varies with different levels of sexual frequency.MethodsA total of 10,834 men and 4,928 women aged 20–49 years from 5 cities in China were enrolled by multi-stage sampling during August 2013–August 2015.OutcomesSexual frequency among migrants was determined by asking: How many times have you had sexual intercourse with a man/woman in the past 30 days?ResultsIn this study, sexual frequency with an average age of 38.28 years was 5.06 (95% CI 5.01–5.11) time per month. Negative binomial showed that male gender, younger age, earlier age of sexual debut, masturbation, more knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, longer time together with a spouse, and higher school education and incomes were predictors of increased sexual frequency in migrants. Communicating with sexual partners frequently had the largest effect on sexual frequency compared with occasional communicating (β = 0.2419, incidence rate ratio = 1.27, 95% CI 1.23–1.31). In the quantile regression, months of cohabitation (β = 0.0999, 95% CI 0.08–0.12), frequent sexual communication (β = 0.4534, 95% CI 0.39–0.52), and masturbation (β = 0.2168, 95% CI 0.14–0.30) were positively related to lower levels of sexual frequency. Interestingly, migrants who had low and high sexual frequency would be affected in opposite directions by the knowledge of sexual and reproductive health.Clinical TranslationClinicians can more understand the relationship between sexual frequency and its factors that can as the symptom basis of sexually-related diseases.ConclusionsThe present findings indicate that specific demographic, socioeconomic, and epidemiological characteristics influenced sexual frequency among migrants. Sexual communication as the largest effect predictor to sexual frequency should be paid more attention to, to improve sexual activity of migrants.Zhang J, Wu J, Li Y, et al.

“…In any case, Hispanic women do not make up a homogeneous group and differences in terms of sexual orientation have been revealed (Deardorff, Tschann, & Flores, 2008;Gil-Llario, Giménez-García, Ballester-Arnal, Cárdenas-López, & Durán-Baca, 2017), as well as sexual attitudes (Ilabaca, Fuertes, & Orgaz, 2015) or sexual health behaviours based on gender inequality (Giménez-García et al, 2013).…”

“…For these reasons, this study analyses the online sexual experience in Hispanic women from different countries (Mexico, Spain and Argentina). All of them share traditional values, such as marianismo (i.e., women as submissive to men) and machismo (i.e., men as autonomous and authoritarian) (Cianelli & Villegas, 2016), but not gender inequality as past literature has reported (Ballester et al, 2017;Gil-Llario et al, 2017). In particular, following the Gender Inequality Index (United Nations Development Programme, 2015), Spain shows a more equal position (15º position over 165) than Mexico (73º position over 165) and Argentina (77º position over 165).…”

Sexuality is still modulated by social determinants that promote a passive role for women. In the recent decades, some findings have supported the influence of the Internet on sexuality. However, the relevance of online sexual activities for some groups such as Hispanic young women is still unknown. In this context, this study examines online sexual experience among 310 Hispanic women from Argentina, Mexico and Spain; as well as the role of their offline sexuality and country in this sexual pattern. As a result, Hispanic women report a variety of online sexual activities that ranges from searching information to masturbation. In particular, the Internet use for sexual purposes is more common for homosexual and bisexual women. Therefore, the Internet may be a new context to explore sexuality for Hispanic women, particularly for those who self-identified as lesbians and bisexuals.
