“…Therefore, we can postulate that the above-mentioned differences are not affecting our participants intention to further integrate sexuality education. This situation is absolutely remarkable given that machismo -an its relationship to traditional gender roles-is a strong cultural factor functioning in the Ecuadorian society (Jerves et al, 2014).…”

“…Whilst, other scholars assert that subjects rooted in social domains seems to be more favourable to reflect and deal with other topics of sexuality and sexuality education as gender, relationships, sexual rights, pleasure, diversities, etc. (Hiriart Riedemann & Riedemann, 1999;World Health Organization, 2010) and deal with cultural burden about dominant views of sexuality through a multi and transdisciplinary gaze (García et al, 2010;Jerves et al, 2014;Thomas & Aggleton, 2016). Our findings reflect that there is not effect of this variable in student teachers' intentions to further address or not CSE within their future teaching practices.…”

“…Research on Latin American families and their cultural beliefs around sexuality indicates many parents hold on to traditional religious ideas, primarily that sex is reserved for married couples and homosexuality is morally wrong (Jerves et al. ; Villarruel ). Researchers also emphasize the salience of machismo, a cultural logic perpetuating binary gender roles that define men as virile and aggressive and women as submissive, chaste, and domestic (raising children and maintaining homes).…”

Despite societal shifts making the United States more inclusive, particularly among younger people, transgender people and people of color remain populations that have labels like "exotic" or "taboo" associated with them. This article explores the racialized dating experiences of an immigrant trans woman of color who uses online dating platforms to facilitate her dating life in Texas. Given that the existing literature on trans people tends to focus on identity development, health concerns, or questions of legality and policy in arenas such as the workplace and in education, there is still limited research on the romantic and sexual lives of trans people. In fact, much of the growing research on trans relationships focuses either on couples where one partner transitioned and the couple maintained a relationship or studies lumping trans experiences under an LGBT umbrella. Using an intersectional theoretical approach, this case study unpacks how race, racism, and transphobia, as well as internalized racial and gender logics, work in tandem to shape desirability and date ability.You find somebody who matches everything with you emotionally, physically and sexually but they're not fully. . .they're not fully sure of who they are or their sexuality. And then it fucks with them and then it fucks with you and it fucks the whole relationship. So, that's when it gets complicated. . . .You meet the men who are really into it, who will open up and be happy with you. And sometimes you fall for them and that's great. And sometimes you fall for the idea of them.Nina, 39Recently, there has been increased attention to toxic masculinity within relationships between cisgender men and transgender women. The Human Rights Campaign has tracked the murders of transgender women over the last several years and noted many of the victims-predominantly black transgender women-were killed by acquaintances and partners. 1 In fact, the recent suicide of the cisgender partner of a trans woman who was bullied online for defending his trans girlfriend captured headlines only to be clarified that his suicide was in response to his trans woman partner leaving the relationship out of fear for her own safety (Marr 2019). Nina, the trans woman quoted above, and her dating experiences comprise the singular case the following article is based on. In her assessment that gender and sexuality influence whether potential partners "fall" for each other or for the "idea of each other," she articulates tensions many transgender women contend with as they pursue romantic relationships.While trans perspectives are gaining more traction in mainstream media and social media spaces due to blogging, opinion pieces, and commentary from transgender public figures, social science literature remains woefully behind (Schilt and Lagos 2017). Social scientists have primarily focused on transgender subjects in relation to medical access and identity development, and in relation to laws and policy concerning families, workplaces, and educational settings.

“…Although the initial establishment of school-based sex education met with resistance from parents who felt that the school was usurping parental responsibility and the natural transmission of family values [20], school-based programs are now well-established in most countries. Programs vary between strict abstinence based to comprehensive programs or even programs with components of both philosophies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of abstinence-based sexual education programs delivered in parallel to Thai parents and their early adolescent daughters to promote sexual abstinence and improve communication regarding sexual topics between them and their parents. Design/methodology/approach A quasi-experimental design included groups of parent/daughter dyads; Group 1 (controls) (n=40), Group 2 Adolescent Program (n=40) and Group 3 Adolescent Parent Program (APP) (n=42). Outcome measures included parent–adolescent communications and adolescents’ sexual abstinence cognitions and intent to abstain from sexual behaviors, measured at five and nine weeks post-programs. Findings Generalized estimating equation analyses indicated that the dual program (APP) was more effective in increasing parental communication with their daughters compared with Group 1 (p-value<0.05) and only the daughters in the APP program reported more positive subjective norms, sense of perceived behavioral control and intent to abstain than did Group 1 (p-value<0.05). Originality/value The overarching goal of supporting the development of family environments where female adolescents are able to talk about sexuality is essential for adolescent sexual health promotion. The data provide further evidence that a dual program with simultaneous parent and female adolescent interactive activities over three sessions is superior compared with programs that target either the parents or the adolescents only. Hence, further replication with more parent–daughter dyads and then within more diverse cultures and populations is warranted. Developing and testing a similarly structured program for parents and sons is also required.
