“…For many young people, sexual debut is considered to be a pivotal developmental milestone because it can represent a shift in personal identity, social status, and susceptibility to health risks (Golden et al, 2016; Lowry et al, 2017). However, compared to cisgender-heterosexual peers, SGD people’s sexual debut can be complicated by systemic forms of anti-gay discrimination and stigma that perpetuate harm and health disparities (Stout et al, 2023). Earlier sexual debut can contribute to additional risk for SGD people who are navigating stigmatized sexual relationships at a younger age (Outlaw et al, 2011; Stout et al, 2023).…”

Earlier sexual debut can contribute to additional risk for SGD people who are navigating stigmatized sexual relationships at a younger age (Outlaw et al, 2011; Stout et al, 2023). Risks related to earlier sexual debut among SGD people include disproportionate substance use and risky sexual behaviors, as well as experiences of violence and victimization (Outlaw et al, 2011; Tomori et al, 2016).…”

Limited research has examined predictors of anti-gay victimization among men who have sex with men (MSM), despite anti-gay violence continuing to be a global problem. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from structured interviews with 600 MSM adults to examine anti-gay victimization and earlier sexual debut among MSM in Kazakhstan. Multiple linear regression was used to test for associations between earlier sexual debut—categorized as age of sexual onset between 13 and 15 years of age and prior to 13 years old, with ages 16 and older as the reference group—and recent and lifetime anti-gay victimization. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess earlier sexual debut and specific types of victimization. The majority of MSM reported lifetime (89%) or recent (68%) experiences of anti-gay victimization. Earlier sexual debut prior to 13 years of age was significantly associated with greater number of types of lifetime and recent reports of anti-gay victimization. Among specific types of anti-gay victimization, earlier sexual debut was associated with higher odds of experiencing verbal, physical, and sexual violence. Anti-gay violence in Kazakhstan is a significant and prevalent public health issue. Future research and clinical interventions addressing anti-gay victimization among MSM populations should consider the lifetime and current implications of consensual and non-consensual childhood and adolescent sexual experiences.

“…Despite some potential risks, online technologies help sexual minority adolescents explore their sexuality in a quasi-anonymous space, connect to other sexual minority youth, learn about sexual health, and overcome barriers to relationship formation in physical spaces (Baker, 2021; DeHaan et al, 2013; Harper et al, 2016; Korchmaros et al, 2015; Mustanski et al, 2011; Stout et al, 2023). Given these online benefits and offline barriers, SM-AMAB adolescents may ignore the age restrictions of GSN apps (Baker, 2021; Dhoest, 2022; Lykens et al, 2019).…”
