The Poetics of Manhood? Nonverbal Behavior in Catullus 51
Clark analyzes Catullus' poetic speaker of his Poem 51, which adopts a female literary persona, inscribing his private declaration of passion into three renowned stanzas by Sappho. She focuses on Catullus use of gendered nonverbal behaviors in the poem showing how Catullus as a character in the poem maintains rigid control of his external appearance even as he is violently affected internally. She will look at Catullus' suppression of the external affect displays that Sappho's speaker manifests. Furthermore, she summarizes the internal reactions to emotion and the affect displays manifested by the speaker in the poem.

Sappho of Lesbos
One of the most famous poets of antiquity, Sappho was born on the Ionian island of Lesbos and lived in the city of Mytilene during the late 7th and 6th centuries BC. Some fragments of poetry remain of other female poets such as Corinna, but Sappho is main female voice from ancient Greece. Her songs provide us a window into the world women inhabited in Greece's largely sex-segregated society. Sappho shows us an actively desiring Helen, who abandons her husband, parents and daughter to be with her beloved Paris. Some say a host of horses, some say an army of infantry, and some say an army of ships is the most beautiful thing on the black earth. Sappho selects, combines, and exaggerates bodily reactions to sexual desire, yet she leaves the speaker's intellectual capacity intact and unaffected, whereas in other poems the lover's intellect is shattered or otherwise rendered ineffective.

Gender and reactions to a hypothetical relationship partner's masturbation and use of sexually explicit media
Heterosexual college students completed a questionnaire measuring affective reactions and cognitive attributions pertaining to behavior by a hypothetical relationship partner. Compared to men, women indicated more negative feelings about a partner's solitary sexual behavior. For men and women, a partner's use of sexually explicit material was rated more negatively than a partner's masturbation. Regarding the attributions, there was a difference on concerning the belief about partner satisfaction. Respondents were more likely to see a partner's use of sexually explicit materials rather than masturbation as a sign of dissatisfaction with the original partner or the sexual relationship. Results are discussed with regard to implications for future research.
