The year is 1970, and Keith Nearing, a twenty-year-old literature student, is spending his summer vaction in a castle on a mountainside in Italy. The Sexual Revolution is in full-swing - a historical moment of unprecedented opportunity - and Keith and his friends are immediately caught up in its chaotic, ecstatic throes. Yet they soon discover a disturbing truth, there exists a state of liminal purgatory, once described by the Russian thinker Alexander Herzen as \"a pregnant widow.\" As Amis deftly explores the repercussions and consequences of that one summer, he presents us with a precise and poignant portrait of the liberating possibilities, and the haunting consequences, of change.

Introduction US state legislatures introduced more than 500 anti-LGBTQ + bills in 2023, many of which specifically target trans youth. Anti-trans legislation is often supported by disinformation on topics such as gender-affirming healthcare. This study examined the extent to which Gen Z young adults believe such disinformation and the factors that predict belief. Methods Surveys were used in late 2022 and early 2023 to measure disinformation belief in a convenience sample of n  = 103 undergraduate psychology students of different gender identities, SES, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and political views. Predictors included measures of conventionalism, such as social conservatism and religiosity, as well as transphobic attitudes, news consumption, and trust in government. Results Large majorities of participants doubted several pieces of disinformation, such as the pernicious “grooming” assertion; expressed uncertainty about some, such as the gender/sex distinction; and were split on others, such as the alleged athletic advantage of trans girls. Male, socially conservative, and religious individuals tended to exhibit stronger disinformation belief, as did those who expressed more trust in government. Regression analysis showed transphobic attitudes to strongly predict anti-trans disinformation belief, above and beyond demographic factors. Conclusions The results are consistent with prejudice-driven reasoning, stressing the need for prejudice reduction along with misinformation mitigation strategies like fact checking. Policy Implications The USA should reform media policy to counter the threat of disinformation and more widely adopt trans refuge policies that protect access to care and freedom from prosecution, and education policies that normalize gender diversity beginning in childhood.

Women’s interests in bondage, discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism (BDSM) behaviors are one of the most poorly understood research topics, even though erotica novels—typically read by women—are increasingly including these activities. The present study explored potential links between women’s engagement in BDSM behaviors, consumption of erotica literature, relationship communication and satisfaction, and overall well-being using a multi-study approach. Results from three exploratory studies using multiple methodologies revealed a positive association between erotica, BDSM behaviors, and physical satisfaction, but brought attention to the relatively little information available for women who are interested in practicing alternative sexual behaviors. Practical suggestions for social scientists and mental health professionals are provided.

\"When investigative journalist Gina Kane receives an email from a 'CRyan' describing her 'terrible experience' while working at REL, a high-profile television news network, including the comment 'and I'm not the only one', Gina knows she has to pursue the story. But when Ryan goes silent, Gina is shocked to discover the young woman has died tragically in a jet ski accident while on holiday. Meanwhile, REL counsel Michael Carter finds himself in a tricky spot. Several female employees have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. Carter approaches the CEO, offering to persuade the victims to accept settlements in exchange for their silence. It's a risky endeavor, but it could well make him rich. As more allegations emerge and the company's IPO draws near, Carter's attempts to keep the story from making headlines are matched only by Gina Kane's determination to uncover the truth. Was Ryan's death truly an accident? And when another accuser turns up dead, Gina realizes someone--or some people--will go to depraved lengths to keep the story from seeing the light.\"--Provided by publisher.

This study evaluated the rape fantasies of female undergraduates (N = 355) using a fantasy checklist that reflected the legal definition of rape and a sexual fantasy log that included systematic prompts and self-ratings. Results indicated that 62% of women have had a rape fantasy, which is somewhat higher than previous estimates. For women who have had rape fantasies, the median frequency of these fantasies was about 4 times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week. In contrast to previous research, which suggested that rape fantasies were either entirely aversive or entirely erotic, rape fantasies were found to exist on an erotic-aversive continuum, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive.

This study addresses forceful submission fantasies in men and women. Although many approaches implicitly or explicitly cast women's force fantasies in a pathological light, this study seeks to explore the associations of such fantasy to female power. By adopting an evolutionary meta-theoretical perspective (and a resource control theory perspective), it was hypothesized that highly agentic, dominant women prefer forceful submission fantasies (more than subordinate women) as a means to connect them to agentic, dominant men. In addition, it is suggested that dominant women would ascribe a meaning to the object of the fantasy different from that assigned by subordinate women (i.e., \"warrior lover\" vs. \"white knight\"). Two studies were conducted with nearly 900 college students (men and women) from a large Midwestern university. Hypotheses were largely supported. Analysis of meaning supports theoretical perspectives proposing that forceful submission reflects desires for sexual power on behalf of the fantasist. Implications for evolutionary approaches to human mate preferences are discussed.
