“…The sexuality of gay people has been studied less than that of heterosexuals, and, sometimes, it has been left out of investigations [ 9 ]. However, the World Association for Sexual Health [ 10 ] defends the right to have pleasurable and satisfying sexual experiences regardless of a person’s sexual orientation.…”

Currently, no validated instrument exists for assessing the subjective experience of orgasm in the gay population. The Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS), previously validated in the heterosexual population, comprises four dimensions: Affective, Sensory, Intimacy, and Rewards. This study validated it for sexual relationships in the gay population by obtaining its factorial invariance by sexual orientation and sex, its internal consistency reliability, and evidence of validity in its relationship with other variables. We assessed 1600 cisgender Spanish adults–heterosexuals, gays, and lesbians–divided into 4, sex-based groups of 400 each, according to the Kinsey scale scores. Participants reported recent experiences of orgasm in the context of sexual relationships and responded to the ORS and other scales assessing attitude toward sexual fantasies and sexual functioning. The ORS structure showed a strict multigroup-level invariance by sexual orientation and sex, confirming its four-dimensional structure. The subjective orgasm intensity was associated with a positive attitude toward sexual fantasies and sexual functioning. Scores obtained on the Affective, Intimacy, and Rewards dimensions confirmed the ability to discriminate between gay people with and without orgasmic difficulties. The ORS’s Spanish version presents good psychometric properties as a validated scale to evaluate the subjective experience of orgasm in the gay population.

“…Social sciences have made, and are increasingly making, contributions promoting social impact (Aiello et al, 2020 ) in education (Rios-Gonzalez et al, 2019 ; Yeste et al, 2019 ; Duque et al, 2020 ; Ruiz-Eugenio et al, 2020b ), ethnic and cultural minorities (Gómez et al, 2019 ; Khalfaoui, 2019 ; Garcia Yeste et al, 2020 ; Serradell et al, 2020 ), gender, sexuality and masculinities (Foraster and Morlà, 2019 ; Serrano Amaya and Ríos González, 2019 ; Merodio et al, 2020 ; Salceda et al, 2020 ), communication and digital media (Madrid et al, 2020 ; Pulido et al, 2020a , b ; Rodríguez et al, 2020 ) or occupation and organizations (Campos et al, 2020 ; Mara et al, 2020 ; Redondo-Sama, 2020 ; Tellado et al, 2020 ), among others. However, when we look at the scientific and theoretical production throughout the history of social sciences, a great fragmentation can be observed, having little interdisciplinarity and little connection between what authors in the different disciplines are contributing.…”

Neuroscience has well evidenced that the environment and, more specifically, social experience, shapes and transforms the architecture and functioning of the brain and even its genes. However, in order to understand how that happens, which types of social interactions lead to different results in brain and behavior, neurosciences require the social sciences. The social sciences have already made important contributions to neuroscience, among which the behaviorist explanations of human learning are prominent and acknowledged by the most well-known neuroscientists today. Yet neurosciences require more inputs from the social sciences to make meaning of new findings about the brain that deal with some of the most profound human questions. However, when we look at the scientific and theoretical production throughout the history of social sciences, a great fragmentation can be observed, having little interdisciplinarity and little connection between what authors in the different disciplines are contributing. This can be well seen in the field of communicative interaction. Nonetheless, this fragmentation has been overcome via the theory of communicative acts, which integrates knowledge from language and interaction theories but goes one step further in incorporating other aspects of human communication and the role of context. The theory of communicative acts is very informative to neuroscience, and a central contribution in socioneuroscience that makes possible deepening of our understanding of most pressing social problems, such as free and coerced sexual-affective desire, and achieving social and political impact toward their solution. This manuscript shows that socioneuroscience is an interdisciplinary frontier in which the dialogue between all social sciences and all natural sciences opens up an opportunity to integrate different levels of analysis in several sciences to ultimately achieve social impact regarding the most urgent human problems.

“…One of the initial approaches in the scientific literature regarding gender violence focused on advocating for victims to report their cases (Benson & Thomson, 1982), arguing that official organisms and mechanisms have to be created for that purpose (Choate, 2003). However, research noticed that retaliation and revictimization (Rinehart & Yeater, 2011) suffered by those who break their silence limits their willingness to complain, creating a silencing effect (Clark & Walker, 2011) as it constitutes one of the worst consequences once someone decides to report (Morley, 2011), even stronger in the case of vulnerable communities (Serrano-Amaya & Ríos-González, 2019). Indeed, there is widespread agreement on the fact that, without support, victims would not be able to go through the reporting process and face the potential negative consequences (Richman et al, 1999) not only of the harassment but also of breaking the silence and of the reporting process (Bybee & Sullivan, 2005).…”

In December 2020, the Catalan Parliament approved by unanimity the world’s first legislation of the concept of Isolating Gender Violence (IGV); in 2021, several parliaments are developing their own legislations. The elaboration of this concept and later this name has been a long and dialogic process among diverse scientists, policymakers, governments, parliaments, victims, survivors, social organizations and citizens. Since 2016, CREA (Community of Research on Excellence for All) has developed a process of elaborating the concept of IGV oriented to obtain the scientific, policy and social impact required to make a key contribution to overcoming gender violence. This process was simultaneous to the elaboration by the same researchers of the criteria of policy and societal impact of the EU’s scientific programme of research (Horizon Europe). This paper presents this dialogic research conducted to get the concept and the name IGV and the consequences of this concept along scientific, policy and social impact. The results show that the key for getting the name and the impacts of this scientific robust concept has been three of the main characteristics of the present EU research program Horizon Europe: the priority of social impact, the co-creation of knowledge between scientists and citizens and sustainability.
