“…This finding is also in line with those observed in the literature (Lippa, 2020;Semenyna et al, 2018). For instance, Waldis et al (2021) found that homosexual men reported more unrestricted sociosexuality than heterosexual men. The same authors (Waldis et al, 2020) found the same result among heterosexual and homosexual women.…”

Sociosexuality, conceptualized as individual differences in attitudes, behaviors, and desires for casual sex, is reflected in “hookup culture” where risky sexual behaviors should not be overlooked. The main objectives of this study were (a) to provide a first French adaptation of the SOI-R and to evaluate its psychometric properties, and (b) to examine the relationship between sociosexuality and condom use among young college students (N = 1037, mean age = 18.7 years, SD = 1 year). A path model hypothesizing links between dispositional optimism, boredom proneness, sexual orientation, age, gender (as correlated exogenous/independent variables), sociosexuality (as mediation variable), and condom use (as output variable), was specified and tested. Findings showed gender and sexual orientation differences in sociosexuality. As expected, males as well as non-heterosexual individuals endorsed more sociosexuality than the others. Optimism, but not boredom, predicted a higher level of sociosexuality. Sociosexuality positively predicted safer sex. Sociosexual orientation was not associated with condomless sex. It would seem that sexual freedom does not necessarily mean irresponsible sexual adventures for the young college students in our study.

“…The full argument is that gay men illustrate what men's sexual behavior would be like without women to slow them down. In contrast, lesbians, who engage in sex relatively infrequently, demonstrate what women's sexual behavior, would be like without men to urge them forward (David, 2007; Waldis et al. , 2021).…”

Wage equation misrepresents gay wage discrimination: overlooked evidence from Russia

PurposeOnly data from developed countries were used to estimate the sexual orientation difference in wages. This paper is the first, which aims to identify the wage discrimination of gay men in Russia – a country where institutional discrimination and ignorance against gay men are known to present.Design/methodology/approachGays are identified as men who reported having sex with other men in several waves of the national household survey. A wage equation is used to estimate the gay wage penalty. Extending the wage equation to implement a difference-in-difference design, the paper also evaluates the effect of the gay-propaganda law of 2013 on gay wages.FindingsNo wage discrimination is identified. The law also has no adverse effect on gay wages.Practical implicationsCross-country comparison and theoretical generalizations are premature, and better identification strategies are needed to understand sexual orientation differences.Social implicationsPolicymakers should be aware that in both discriminatory and equitable environments, there may be hidden inequality even if researchers do not detect it.Originality/valueThe findings are implausible and add to existing evidence that gay discrimination measured with wage equation suffers from endogeneity and should be interpreted with caution. Particular caution should be exercised in cross-sectional and time-series comparisons, as a tendency to report the orientation honestly and unobserved confounders vary by location and time.

“…Such positive experiences with frequent casual encounters may enhance their desire for even more uncommitted sexual relationships. Additionally, research demonstrates that gay men scoring high on masculinity measures tend to have more positive attitudes toward casual sex compared to men with higher femininity scores or straight women (Waldis et al, 2021), resembling the attitudes of straight men toward casual sex. Therefore, masculinity, shaped by growing up in a heterosexist environment, seems to be closely associated with internalized homonegativity, influencing both relationship satisfaction and how gay men view and commit to relationships in general.…”

In this qualitative study, we build upon the findings of previous research by investigating the perceptions and attitudes of 10 self-identified gay men in Greece, toward gay relationships, the influence of Greek society upon them, masculinity, partner preferences, and self-disclosure. A critical thematic analysis of the semi-structured interviews revealed that most participants held negative views regarding same-sex relationships among gay men possibly due to internalizing the homonegativity of Greek society which was consistently acknowledged. They further expressed preference for masculine partners and tended to avoid feminine gay men, preferring to befriend them rather than pursue a romantic relationship with them. Although many participants described masculine gay men as reserved, distant, and emotionally restricted, they still preferred them as partners. Furthermore, most participants expressed negative opinions about self-disclosure, possibly due to the identity confusion caused by the rejection for their sexual orientation Greek social environment. Similarly, when it came to LGBTIQ + rights activism, participants were opposed, contending that it caused more confusion and discord within the younger generation of gays rather than fostered positive change. This research makes a unique contribution by presenting a realistic account of gay men’s contradicting views of their selfhood, a disbelief in gay relationships, an outright preference for masculinity in partnerships, a disdain for gay rights activism, and fear of self-disclosure. These perceptions and attitudes appear to be due to the long history of societal marginalization and rejection and may be subject to change as Greece moves toward a more accepting environment for LGBTIQ + rights.
