Robert Stoller’s Sex and Gender: 40 Years On
Abstract By its title, Sex and Gender announced a conceptual breakthrough in distinguishing basic elements of human experience. In Robert Stoller’s first book,
patients illustrating this divergence were lucidly presented. Transvestites and the newly publicized transsexuals were two
examples. Clinical and dynamic distinctions between the two formed a basis for Stoller’s criteria for patient selection for
“sex change.” They remain current. The complex identity of the intersexed was described with sensitivity and insight. It, [...]

The Number of Sexual Partners and Health-Risking Sexual Behavior: Prediction from High School Entry to High School Exit
Abstract Precursors to adolescent health-risking sexual behavior (HRSB) were examined in a normative sample of 373 adolescents (48.0%
female, n = 178). Using a variable-oriented approach, we regressed the number of sexual partners at high school exit (age 17) on parental
monitoring, association with delinquent peers, romantic relationship status, problem behavior, physical maturity, and tobacco
and alcohol use at high school entry (age 14); all emerged as significant predictors except alcohol use and physical maturity

Are There Different Types of Female Orgasm?
Abstract In attempt to identify and validate different types of orgasms which females have during sex with a partner, data collected
by Mah and Binik (2002) on the dimensional phenomenology of female orgasm were subjected to a typological analysis. A total of 503 women provided
adjectival descriptions of orgasms experienced either with a partner (n = 276) or while alone (n = 227). Latent-class analysis revealed four orgasm types which varied systematically in terms of pleasure and sensations
engendered. Two typ [...]

“Women’s Bodies are Shops”: Beliefs About Transactional Sex and Implications for Understanding Gender Power and HIV Prevention in Tanzania
Abstract Although transactional sex has been linked to undesirable sexual health outcomes, there is a lack of clarity as to the meaning
of the practice, which appears to extend beyond behaviors related to women’s economic circumstances. This article explored
the perspectives of parents and unmarried young people on motivations for, and beliefs about, transactional sex in rural Tanzania
using an ethnographic research design. Data collection involved 17 focus groups and 46 in-depth interviews with young people
aged 14–24 y [...]

Pornography Use and Closeness with Others in Men
Abstract The aim of the present study was to examine the association between pornography use and aspects of socioemotional closeness
in a non-clinical sample of 164 males. Participants’ actual and ideal socioemotional closeness was measured by the Perceived
Interpersonal Closeness Scale (PICS; Popovic et al., 2003) while their pornography use was examined by the Background and Pornography Use Information Questionnaire (Popovic, 2009). Potential effects of these variables on each other as well as various findings concerning pornog [...]
