Perceived Consequences of First Intercourse Among Mexican Adolescents and Associated Psychosocial Variables

Individual, Relational, and Sociocultural Determinants of Sexual Function and Sexual Satisfaction in Ecuador

“…14 Not surprisingly, participants who identified as strongly religious were most likely to feel they contradicted their morals and did not enjoy the experience. 14 Elaborating on the importance of beliefs and attitudes, the construct of erotophilia-erotophobia is also relevant to consider, referring to the learned disposition to evaluate sexual stimuli based on one's exposure to sex-related openness or restrictiveness. 16 Erotophilia refers to a positive valence (eg, it is exciting to think of having a sexual relationship), while erotophobia denotes a negative valence (eg, I feel no curiosity for material of sexual content).…”

A Rapid Review of Sexual Pleasure in First Sexual Experience(s)

“…Five studies were conducted in the global south: Nicholas and Tredoux (1996) cross-sectionally interviewed Black South African university students; Osorio et al (2012) conducted an extensive cross-sectional survey among high school students in the Philippines, El Salvador and Peru; conducted a theory-driven qualitative thematic analysis of Colombian undergraduate students' biographic life stories; Marvan et al (2018) conducted a cross-sectional survey among public high school students in Xalapa, Mexico; and Delgado-Infante and Ofreneo (2014) conducted a feminist analysis of memory narratives in the Philippines.…”

“…There is a historical tendency for research on this topic to focus on first-time penile-vaginal penetration and erase LGBTQ+ identities (Averett et al, 2014: Carpenter, 2001). This is reflected in our review, where 17 out of the 23 papers focused on penile-vaginal intercourse, either directly defined or implied as the default definition of first sexual experience (Caron & Hinman, 2013;Davidson & Moore, 1994;Delgado-Infante & Ofreneo, 2014;Higgins et al, 2010;Holland et al, 2000;Marvan et al, 2018;Nicholas & Tredoux, 1996;Osorio et al, 2012;Reissing et al, 2012;Rind & Welter, 2014;Santtila et al, 2009;Sawyer & Smith, 1996;Schmidt et al, 1994;Smith & Shaffer, 2013;Traeen & Kvalem, 1996;Weinberg et al, 1995).…”

“…Many studies asked their respondents about regret, guilt, or embarrassment (Ishii-Kuntz, 1990;Weinberg et al, 1995), pain (Marvan et al, 2018;Rind & Welter, 2014;Stulhofer & Ajdukovic, 2013) and "emotionally negative" reactions or consequences after first sexual experiences (Caron & Hinman, 2013;Marvan et al, 2018;Rind, 2017;Rind & Welter, 2014). In these studies, the focus on positive or pleasurable experiences was in opposition to or in the absence of negative experiences, such as shame, guilt, and regret.…”

“…The cultural expectations surrounding one's first sexual encounter are often consistent with double standards in sexual scripts, in which men's sexual behavior is judged by different standards than women. Across the included studies, boys or young men often reported a more positive or pleasurable first time than girls or young women (Caron & Hinman, 2013;Delgado-Infante & Ofreneo, 2014;Higgins et al, 2010;Holland et al, 2000;Katz & Schneider, 2015;Marvan et al, 2018;Reissing et al, 2012;Rind & Welter, 2014;Schmidt et al, 1994;Smith & Shaffer, 2013).…”
