“…Conversely, a more "unrestricted" sociosexual orientation is associated with a short-term mating strategy and a tendency to engage in sexual activity sooner in relationships, have more sex partners, and enjoy casual, uncommitted sex (DeLecce et al, 2014;Penke & Asendorpf, 2011;Zheng et al, 2014). Individuals with a more "unrestricted" sociosexual orientation have a higher dyadic sexual desire (desire for sexual activity with a partner), greater motivations for sexual behavior, earlier sexual experiences, more lifetime sex partners, and engage in sexual activity more frequently (Barrada et al, 2021;O'Connor et al, 2014;Romero et al, 2023;Yost & Zurbriggen, 2006).…”

Human sexuality and mating behaviors have been linked to the subjective importance of olfaction and body odor in one’s life; however, the relationship among these factors has not been fully explored. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationships between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction, and body odor sniffing behavior, and to determine whether there is cultural consistency. A total of 1,904 Chinese college students (Study 1) and additional 861 participants from more general population (410 Chinese and 451 Americans) (Study 2) completed three questionnaires measuring sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction, and body odor sniffing behavior, respectively. The results of Study 1 indicated a significant association between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction, and body odor sniffing behavior for both males and females. Besides, the subjective importance of olfaction mediated the relationship between sociosexual orientation and body odor sniffing behavior. The results of Study 2 suggested that the relationships between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction, and body odor sniffing behavior were consistent across cultures. To conclude, this research highlights the significant association between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction, and body odor sniffing behavior, which exhibited consistency across genders and cultural backgrounds. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of human mating strategies in olfaction.

Introduction While there is extensive research on safer sex, few studies have investigated safer sexting practices. The main objective of this study is to examine the range of security behaviors that individuals adopt in technology-mediated sexual interactions. Methods Three studies collected data on social safety, concealment strategies, and technical security in technology-mediated sexual interactions from participants aged 14–75 in Austria and Germany in 2020 and 2022 (Ntotal = 13,070). Patterns in the data were identified via descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Results The most common precautions of people who used safer sexting strategies were hiding one’s face (46%), only engaging with digital sex partners that are personally known (41%), and negotiating boundaries of consensual sexting (29%). Binomial regression results show that a sexual minority identity, BDSM preference, frequent contact with sexual communities, and prior experiences of unwanted sexting were associated with adopting a wider variety of safer sexting practices. Conclusions The results suggest that the safety strategies used in technology-mediated sexual interactions vary across social groups. Social context factors such as community involvement are associated with the likelihood of safer sexting. Policy Implications Knowledge about safer sexting helps minimize harm in technology-mediated sexual interactions. Safer sexting messages aimed at reducing risk and shame should be included as part of community-based safer sexting education and should be tailored to specific target groups including LGBTIQA+ individuals. Policymakers should support interventions that enhance those social environmental factors that contribute to building trust and consent in technology-mediated sexual interactions.
