Among College Students Alcohol Is Becoming More Common In Sexual Assault

The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea One out of every three. That is the number of women in college who say they have been a victim of sexual assault either when they were in high school or college. That’s according to my new peer-reviewed research in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, which is based on survey data from 2015. That figure is significantly higher than it was in the mid-1980s when I conducted the first such national survey of college students at 32 institutions. Back then, the number was one out of every four. Of these incidents, 75% involved victims who admitted they were incapacitated by alcohol at the time of the assault. In the mid-1980s, that number stood at 50%. For the study, sexual assault was defined consistently wit...

Sexual Positions – There Is More Than One You Know

Your 5 times a week gymnastic ritual in the bedroom has dwindled to a once a month fumble with the lights out. Where did it all go wrong? Can it be put right? All relationships need a little injection of spice to keep the fires burning. Our sexual position suggestions are far more modern than the Kama Sutra and you can be sure you won't have tried them all before. SUDOKU STYLE: Do positions 1 to 9 from the Kama Sutra without duplicating any number in her box. ENGLAND STYLE: Cover their face with the Union Jack and think of England. PAINTBALL STYLE: From a distance, using your weapon of choice, fire random blobs at her. BLACK WIDOW STYLE: A lot of fun but someone gets killed. MCDONALD STYLE: Scream "I'm lovin' it" whilst probing her McFlurry. GARDENERS STYLE: Plant your seed and watch her b...

With the help of her lawyer, Jane, a 22-year-old member of the Nevada National Guard, secured a civilian protection order in January 2020 to protect her from her attacker. The judge checked the “sexual assault” box, explicitly acknowledging the crime. But the legal victory didn’t fix everything. Jane, who remains on active duty, is being identified with a pseudonym because she still fears professional and personal ret...

What Is The Definition Of Sexual Pleasure

The most basic definition of sexual pleasure is the enjoyment of arousal and orgasm. Men and women enjoy these phenomena under different circumstances. Given men's sex drive to engage in penetrative sex, men focus on sexual activity with a lover. Sexual pleasure tends to be defined in male terms as the pleasure obtained from sexual activity with a lover. Sex focuses primarily on the pleasure a man enjoys from penetrating a partner (vaginally or anally). Men (whether receiving or penetrating) enjoy a tension that comes from sexual arousal with a lover that women never experience. Men enjoy the feel, the erotic smells and body secretions of a lover. The receiving partner (male or female) may enjoy the emotional satisfaction of offering this pleasure to the penetrator (a male partner). Given ...

1 real-world way to prevent sexual exploitation – 4 myths debunked – Sex trafficking isn’t what you think

Corinne Schwarz, Oklahoma State University The idea that sex trafficking is an urgent social problem is woven into American media stories, from reports of Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz’s alleged trafficking of teenage girls to debunked QAnon conspiracy theories about a sexual slavery ring run through online retailer Wayfair. The common perception of sex trafficking involves a young, passive woman captured by an aggressive trafficker. The woman is hidden and waiting to be rescued by law enforcement. She is probably white, because, as the legal scholar Jayashri Srikantiah writes, the “iconic victim” of trafficking usually is depicted this way. This is essentially the plot of the “Taken” movies, in which teenage Americans are kidnapped abroad and sold into sexual slavery. Such concerns f...

How To Make The Most Of Sexual Pleasuring

Sexuality is about enjoying sexual pleasure with a lover. We experience sensual, emotional and erotic pleasure. People of both sexes regardless of orientation have different sexual appetites. Ideally there's a match of intellect, curiosity, imagination, sense of humor and concern for hygiene. There are three main categories of anatomy. The sex organ is involved in orgasm and the internal genital organs in reproduction. The erogenous zones relate to sensual pleasuring and may include any part of the body. Male and female erogenous zones are similar in anatomical terms. They include the labia or the length of the penis, either side of the labia or the testicles, the entrance to the vagina or the base of the penis, the perineum and the anus. For a man there is also the prostate gland beside t...

Inside The Messy Psychology Of Sexual Double Standards – Cheating’s OK For Me, But Not For Thee

David M. Buss, The University of Texas at Austin College of Liberal Arts Sexual double standards – in which women and men are judged differently for the same sexual behavior – will probably sound familiar to most people. The classic one centers on multiple sexual partners: Men who are promiscuous are lauded as “studs,” “lotharios” or “ladies’ men,” while women who have a lot of sex get called “sluts” or “whores.” Men who cheat on their wives aren’t exactly praised, but they’ll often get a pass. Women who do the same, on the other hand, risk sullying their social reputations. There’s a different sexual double standard, however, and it’s one that exists between two partners. In my new book, “When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault,” I spend so...
