“…Consistent with the recognition that twenty-first century sexual stories have benefitted from heightened accessibility via social technologies (e.g., Hammack & Manago, 2024;Hammack & Wignall, 2023), participant narratives revealed the centrality of online settings as sites of discovery of the pup subculture. Visual stimuli encountered online demonstrating gear and behavior associated with the subculture were narrated as a key means of discovery.…”

“…The twenty-first century has been a time of flourishing for new forms of sexual and gender diversity (Hammack & Wignall, 2023), as well as heightened visibility for forms of sexual diversity once considered within the realm of deviance or pathology (Wignall, 2022). The pup subculture represents one example of this new sexual cul-ture made manifest in the identities, practices, and communities being intentionally formed this century.…”

“…The twenty-first century has seen the rise of new sexual identity subcultures, the growth of which has been attributed at least in part to the emergence of social technologies which allow new sexual stories to circulate wider and impact a broader population (Hammack & Manago, 2024;Hammack & Wignall, 2023;Wignall, 2022). This rise has occurred concurrently with an expansion in sexual identity labels and a lessening attachment to lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) identity labels as core or necessarily primary elements of sexual identity (Ghaziani & Holmes, 2023;Savin-Williams, 2005).…”

The twenty-first century has seen the proliferation of new sexual identity subcultures rooted in creative role-play dynamics, expanding our cultural and scientific understanding of diversity in sexuality and intimacy. In an international sample of 568 people who identified with the kink subculture of pup play, we analyzed responses to open-ended questions about the discovery of pup play and communities, definitions of pup play, and motivations for engagement. Four themes were identified: (1) social technologies as central to discovery of the subculture; (2) constructionist accounts of pup identity development emerging from relationships and exposure to other kink communities; (3) individual psychological benefits of subculture participation, including stress relief, relaxation, and pleasure; and (4) social psychological benefits in identity and community building. We situate these findings in relation to the expansion of diversity in sexual identity and intimacy in the twenty-first century, facilitated by the heightened visibility and opportunities for social and intimate creativity which have accompanied the growth of social media and exposure to new sexual stories.

Efforts to achieve gender equity of health professionals should be a priority in all fields of medicine, including academic dermatology. This review aimed, first, to summarize available evidence about the status of gender equity in various domains of academic dermatology—headship positions, salary, editor and editorial board appointments, publications, conference presentations, receipt of research grants and academic prizes—second, to identify challenges to achieving gender equity and, third, to articulate the components of a multifaceted strategy for gender parity. A variety of databases were searched. Manual searching of reference lists and searching of grey literature were also undertaken. It was found that, despite improvements in some domains, the gender inequity persists in all of the above‐mentioned areas of academic dermatology. Challenges to achieve gender parity include time in pregnancy, disproportionate participation in childrearing and domestic tasks compared with men, suboptimal legislation in many jurisdictions for parenting and childcare leave, and unconscious biases about women. Elements of a multipronged approach include strengthening women's dermatology societies that advocate for women in academia; celebrating the careers of distinguished female academic dermatologists; mentoring; promoting leadership courses; striving for a greater representation of women among editors‐in‐chief, authors, and conference presenters, among others; seeking better pay, leave conditions and other work entitlements; conducting high‐quality research about gender inequity in academic dermatology; imposing sanctions for violations of gender equity; supporting dermatologists' health; and learning from the experience of other fields of academic medicine.
