Title The Embodied SAR: Reassessing the Role of Embodiment in Sexuality (Part 1)
Code
Type SAR Session
Topic
Presenters
Description The Embodied SAR is an experiential, group-based process that facilitates participants in expanding their awareness of how various aspects of their sexual attitudes, beliefs, values, and practices both influence and are influenced by one's experience of and relationship to their body.
Rationale: Embodiment involves awareness of somatic feeling, body movements, and the relationship of one's own body to other bodies. When individuals become disembodied they are likely to lose their connection to their sexual selves. In order to work effectively with sexual concerns, professionals must examine the connection between interpersonal context, social identity and its impact on sexuality.
It is intended that after participating in this SAR, attendees will:
1. Identify relevant frameworks that are relevant to professional growth and development.
2. Explore methods of applying relevant frameworks to one's personal and professional practice.
3. Examine various experiences of embodiment and implications on sexuality.
4. Recognize how identity and social perception may contribute to body disconnection.
5. Develop practical components of embodiment for individual and clinical use.
6. Demonstrate an increased awareness of personal attitudes, values, feelings and beliefs about an array of sexual and social identities.
7. Develop greater comfort when addressing and discussing sexual identity topics.
8. Discuss how their sexual feelings, values, reactions, and beliefs may be impacting their ability to work with multicultural groups in professional settings.
9. Describe at least three (3) examples of ways intersectionality is relevant to sexuality professions.
10. Examine the relationship between dominant social narratives and the maintenance of sexual ethics, normalcy, and sexual politics.
11. Articulate the ways in which one's personal sexological worldview has developed over time; compare and contrast the unique components of one's own sexological worldview to those of other professionals within the field;
12. Recognize how discomfort with diverse sexual practices may contribute to barriers in the delivery of educational, health, social, and behavioral health services.
13. Recognize how internalized stereotypes influence our perception of sexual health, wellness, identity, and behavior.
14. Clarify the aspects of sexual knowledge and self-awareness that present areas for further professional exploration.
15. Develop practice perspectives that promote understanding and respectful interactions with individuals who hold different and possibly competing worldviews.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
There will be an hour break during the session for attendees to grab lunch on their own.

Title Boundaries in Eight Dimensions: A Framework in Service of Consent
Code 241
Type Pre-Conference Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description The Eight Dimensions of Boundaries is a tool to make the invisible visible, a strategy for communication as an act of exchange. The tool highlights that all individuals are part of intersecting groups, communities and institutions, offering opportunities to reinforce personal sovereignty, including as it relates to relational dynamics, gender, sexuality and pleasure. Through highlighting the overlap of boundaries' psychological and concrete nature, the framework is a response to dominant social constructs of what constitutes a "healthy" boundary.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
There will be an hour break during the session for attendees to grab lunch on their own.
Objective Define boundaries through application of the multidimensional framework using the corresponding visual tool.|Identify eight ways in which identity, intersectionality and power influences boundaries.|Practice applying the framework to communication styles for the purpose of fostering consent within a range of relationships and sexual activities.|
Prerequisite Boundaries are not just barriers, but are safe-enough parameters for necessary vulnerability. Boundary exploration asks, "Who am I, who are we? Who is another, others?" Boundaries also ask, "What are my needs and wants, what are your needs and wants?"
Influenced by organizational psychology (Alderfer, 1980; Berg, 2016), the Eight Dimensions of Boundaries began its development unexpectedly in 2019 in the context of outpatient psychotherapy in response to clients stating "I need to set boundaries." The addition of the visual tool came in a 2020 collaboration with a colleague.
The eight dimensions (and interlinking elements to the next domain, communicated here within parenthesis) are: Time (Schedules & Rhythms); Location (Five Senses); Physical (Proximity & Autonomy); Activity (Goals & Intents); Disclosure (Overt & Covert); Resources (Exclusivity & Availability); Energy (Responsibility); Roles (Duration & Frequency), linking back to Time.
The visual tool is a venn diagram that emphasizes the interlinking of the elements. Borrowing from Alderfer (1980), the dimensions are "conceptually distinct but dynamically interdependent."
The framework is offered within an orientation of consent and choice (Fielding, 2021; Martin & Dalzen, 2021; Paulsen, 2009; Steele, Boone & Hart, 2017). Boundary needs are informed by trauma and survival responses. Polyvagal theory (Dana, 2018) posits that humans are wired for near constant social engagement, continuously assessing within our relationships for cues to safety or cues to danger. The presentation interweaves this position as it relates to the influence of power and privilege, particularly as it impacts marginalized identities, and therefore is a direct influence on what makes a boundary safe-enough and secure. Maintaining that constructs such as sexuality, gender and trauma are not static, boundaries inherently shift over time and across cultural, familial, political, historical, regional, class/socio-economical, racial, ethnic and physical context. The tool encourages adapting our ability to "see" ourselves and others together in interdependence (Hemphill, 2021; Junker, 2020).
In trainings, visual slides accompany the content, with focus on eliciting feedback and engagement from the attendees as a means to highlight a variety of responses and viewpoints. Rather than a didactic lecture from an "expert", the encouragement of participation models the use of the tool to promote exchanges and reflection between people and groups. Beyond "professional" roles/settings, the framework aids other skills aimed at clarifying and communicating needs, wants and experiences–including sexual acts, relational dynamics, gender expression–through a shared ability to consider an expansive range of what constitutes a boundary.

Title
Biography
Hi! I’m Anne Thompson (she/they), a therapist specializing in trauma-specific and gender-informed treatment for female, femme and gender expansive experiences of trauma and dissociation, working with the spectrum of trauma-related disorders ranging from single incident PTSD to complex trauma and dissociative disorders. EMDR scaffolds my approach to treatment, along with ego state therapy and the conviction that joy is permitted alongside pain.
I entered the world of sex therapy in 2022 and am nearing eligibility to apply for certifcation. My most significant overlap integrating trauma treatment and sex therapy is consent!
My work history includes management and supervisory roles within community mental health settings. I presently teach adjunct in Antioch University New England’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Outside of the therapy room, I can be found playing saxophone in a HONK! band, drawing and bookmaking, as well as delighting in walks, hikes, food and sleep.

Title Sexuality Educator Antiracist Training (SEAT)
Code 130
Type Pre-Conference Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description The Sexuality Educator Anti-racist Training (SEAT) empowers sexuality educators of all racial identities with skills to confront, interrupt, de-construct, and challenge racism in personal attitudes and sexuality education instruction. SEAT is an answer to the question, "What do I do when a racist incident happens under my supervision- whether I or someone else was the source of harm?" This experiential training is developed from a pluralistic viewpoint, designed to go beyond centering "white supremacy culture" standards.
Intended Audience: Educators, Supervisors
There will be an hour break during the session for attendees to grab lunch on their own.
Objective A. Utilize a feedback loop to be trauma responsive when challenging one's internalized anxiety.
B. Model at least 1 way to be antiracist regarding sexuality education instruction.|C. Prioritize trauma responsiveness regarding 1 event of racism and sexuality.
D. Deconstruct 2 behaviors that are framed as resistance.|E. Describe three effective response strategies when a student or school community member has been hurt or wronged by bias. (PLSSE Indicator 4)
F. Describe three strategies educators can use to acknowledge and proactively work to mitigate the impact of bias on their students' sexual health and multiple, intersecting identities. (PLSSE Indicator 5)|
Prerequisite Purpose and Brief Background:
Racism permeates all levels of society and because it does, racism is entrenched in the sexual health field. From the conception of the field, racism is present throughout reproductive health, exploration of sexually transmitted infections, studying sexual behaviors, and permeates various other sexuality discoveries.
Interpersonal racism takes place between individuals and involves use of slurs, practice of biases, or actions filled with hate. This particular form of racism can exist between peers, teachers, and others in classroom and workshop settings. Educational spaces consist of individuals in one place learning together, and there exists individual racism which is the attitude, belief, or action that an individual uses to perpetuate racism. Institutional racism is experienced at the organizational level, where there is racist policy and biased practices that create inequity between marginalized and white groups of people to create advantages for white people in the organization. Systemic racism is the arc that covers society and institutions where privilege benefits white people and people of color are disadvantaged.
Educators are inevitably going to be involved in institutions and systems and must understand the racism present, perpetuated, and quite possibly thriving. While there is no way to be 100% antiracist because racism on some level will always exist, SEAT is meant to promote identifying and interrupting racism throughout various levels of sexuality education across all types of curricula.
Key features of SEAT:
SEAT uses Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Sociocultural Learning Theory as frameworks to center the educational needs of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC). Using these frameworks aims to help educators model, engage, and use critical analysis to question, shift, and deliver educational content. SEAT curriculum also includes trauma responsiveness as a core component in training to help educators identify key places during instruction that can be triggering/harmful and evaluate where more educational and relational support is needed.
Key takeaways:
This training is designed to move through the experiential learning cycle so that participants can address affective responses in a space with a more knowledgeable other, gain skills to use outside of this training, and apply those skills to reduce harm, interrupt cycles of systemic and individual racism during sexuality education instruction, and utilize trauma responsive care.
SEAT's content include these processes:
- Guided self-identification of participant's fears, reactionary thoughts and behaviors
- Generating specific behavioral intervention tools via action/effect feedback loop
- Applying a combination of cultural humility and dispositional humility via decision tree analysis
- Creating a foundational building block to envisioning liberatory sex ed

Title What Every Sex Therapist Needs to Know about Pelvic Dysfunction
Code 238
Type Pre-Conference Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Most sex therapy training do not go in-depth into working with pelvic pain/dysfunction clients leaving a sex therapist feeling helpless and stuck, resulting in these clients being referred out to pelvic pain physical therapy as the one and only solution. In this workshop, we will help you understand more about pelvic dysfunction through a detailed discussion of the anatomy of the pelvic bowl, the various other body systems chronic pelvic dysfunction can impact, detailed look at the comorbidity diagnosis, the importance of talking to clients about their menstrual cycles, the penis and pelvic floor, and the impact pelvic pain has relationships
Intended Audience: Counselors, Therapists, Supervisors, Medical Professionals
There will be an hour break during the session for attendees to grab lunch on their own.
Objective Identify the main anatomical parts of the pelvic bowl and pelvic bowl co-morbidity diagnoses|Explain the role the pelvic bowl plays in sexual functioning and dis-functioning.|Identify the role chronic pelvic pain plays in a client's mental health and relationships|
Prerequisite Pelvic pain/dysfunction is a broad umbrella label for many diagnoses, from vaginismus, endometriosis, autoimmune diseases, nerve dysfunction, labrum tears, erectile dysfunction, etc. And most medical providers refer their patients to a sex therapist for general mental health support or sexual dysfunction specifically, and yet most sex therapy certification programs include very little on pelvic pain and that small bit tends to only address pain with sex and encourages students to have pelvic PTs to refer clients to. But what happens when it is the pelvic PTs that are referring the client to a sex therapist? The goal of the presentation is for attendees to leave with more confidence in working with pelvic pain clients.
My presentation is designed to give a broader background on pelvic pain, including:
-the anatomy of the pelvic bowl, including the pelvic floor muscles and their role in orgasm and the pudendal nerve and its role in genital sensation;
-research on the number of people impacted by pelvic pain;
-a detailed look at comorbidity dx associated with pelvic pain;
-how dysfunction in one body system can impact and lead to dysfunction in other systems, including sexual dysfunction;
-how pelvic pain impacts mental health;
-and the research on the impact of pelvic pain and relationships.

Biography
Representative Zooey Zephyr represents Montana’s 100th House District in the Montana House of Representatives and is the first trans woman to hold public office in the state of Montana. Throughout her time in office, Representative Zephyr has been a fierce advocate for affordable housing, healthcare, and human rights throughout Montana.
Prior to the legislature, Representative Zephyr worked at the University of Montana, where she oversaw the administration of the university’s curriculum approval process. She also worked as an activist, helping people file discrimination claims, drafting human rights policies for the city of Missoula, and working as a de-escalator at protests to ensure protester safety.
When the Legislature is not in session, Representative Zephyr works with people across Montana, the nation, and the world to help them get involved in the fight for progressive policies.

Title A Group-Based Act Intervention On Reducing Gender-Based Minority Stress for Transgender Veterans
Code 325
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of face-to-face delivered group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions in terms of effectiveness and feasibility. The goal is to address a range of psychological issues associated with gender-based minority stress that go beyond traditional diagnoses. The hope for the group is to create a safe place for acceptance and validation of transgender experiences while providing psychoeducation and practice on increasing psychological flexibility needed to build resiliency against chronic gender-based stress.
Objective OBJECTIVE(S):
There is a need for research on how trans-affirmative care can be delivered to transgender veterans in an ef| | |
Prerequisite RESEARCH PLAN:
Due to an insufficient number of transgender veterans available for randomization into intervention and control groups, a program evaluation will be conducted.
METHODOLOGY:
Transgender veterans will be recruited from BHIP (Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program) of the Bay Pines VA. Veterans will be screened for group appropriateness. A maximum of eight members will be enrolled. All participants will be asked to complete the same set of measures prior the first session and immediately after the last session. The group-based intervention will be delivered by a post-doctoral fellow in psychology under supervision. The 12-week group format will be based on Accepting Gender: An ACT Workbook for Trans and Non-Binary People by Alex Stitt.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE:
Transdiagnostic approaches target underlying processes common to various psychological problems (Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette, & Stroshal, 1996). Co-occurring trauma-related symptoms are likely to be responsive to transdiagnostic approaches that target underlying processes, such as psychological flexibility (Hayes, et al., 1996). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a transdiagnostic behavioral intervention with established efficacy in treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and chronic pain (Hayes, et al., 1996; Ruiz, 2010).
During this time of sociopolitical strife, there is a need for effective psychological interventions to enhance well-being and help build resilience to chronic gender-based stress. ACT-based group interventions have been found to be effective in promoting overall-wellbeing and psychological flexibility (Bandolin, et. al, 2023; Kao, Li, Mak, & Cheung, 2023) and a promising approach to treat psychological distress experienced by transgender individuals (Chu, et. al, 2023; McKenzie & Taylor, 2019).
IIMPACT/SIGNIFICANCE:
We expect for the group-based ACT intervention to reduce symptoms related to gender-based minority stress and help participants engage in more committed actions consistent with their values. The hope of this study is to demonstrate that acceptance and commitment therapy groups make a satisfactory method of promoting psychological flexibility while reducing chronic gender-based minority distress in transgender veterans.

Title Racial and Gender Differences in Sexual Preoccupation
Code 161
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description We examined the racial and gender differences in sexual preoccupation. Consistent with the literature, results indicate that male participants reported higher sexual preoccupation than female participants. Additionally, non-White participants had greater scores of sexual preoccupation than White participants; however, we did not find evidence to support the interaction effect between gender and racial identity on sexual preoccupation.
Objective Identify gender and racial differences in sexual preoccupation| | |
Prerequisite Introduction
Sexual self-concept is the perception of one's own sexual feelings and behaviors, which is a primary determinant of sexual health (WHO, 2006). Sexual preoccupation is one of the three factors that shape sexual self-concept (Snell & Papini, 1989). Sexual preoccupation is a cognitive unit of sexual compulsivity that involves images, fantasies, and thoughts excessively concentrated on sexual content (Lloyd et al., 2007; Quadland, 1985). These thoughts are intrusive and often cause anxiety and distress (Lloyd et al., 2007). Many studies found that men report higher levels of sexual preoccupation than women (e.g., Heaven et al., 2003; Snell & Papini, 1989; Wiederman & Allgeier, 1993), yet there is scarce research about racial differences. The objective of the present study was to obtain a timely update on gender differences in sexual preoccupation. Additionally, we incorporated racial identity into our analyses due to a lack of previous work examining racial differences in sexual preoccupation. The latter analysis is further supported by the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIHMD; 2000)' call to diversify research with racial/ethnic minorities to address the barriers to accessing culturally sensitive healthcare.
Method
We collected data from 496 American participants using the Prolific data collection platform. Gender and racial distribution of participants are as follows: male (n = 243, 49%), female (n = 251, 50.6%); White (n = 343, 69.2%), non-White (n = 152, 30.6%). Participants completed a demographic survey and the Snell Sexuality Scale (Snell Papini, 1989).
Results
A 2 (gender: male versus female) x 2 (White versus Non-White) ANOVA results indicated a significant main effect of gender and racial identity on sexual preoccupation. Male participants (M = 30.36; SD = 8.42) had greater scores of sexual preoccupation than female participants (M = 24.84 SD = 9.85), F(1, 477) = 33.34, p < .001. Non-white participants (M = 28.84; SD = 8.91) scored higher on sexual preoccupation than White participants (M = 26.99, SD = 9.80), F(1, 477) = 4.32, p = .04. There was no interaction between gender and racial identity.
Discussion
This is the first study to reveal gender differences concurrently with racial differences in sexual preoccupation. The results indicated that men reported higher sexual preoccupation than women, and non-White participants reported greater sexual preoccupation than White participants. While non-White participants do not represent a homogenous group, McCuistan et al. (2023) highlighted that the sexual health disparities among racial/ethnic minorities stem from the inequalities and systemic barriers in the healthcare system. Regarding access to culturally sensitive and gender-affirming healthcare and sex education, the results of this study may broaden the perspective of educators and healthcare providers about racial and gender differences in sexual self-concept.

Title Sexual Orientation and its Association with Anal Pleasure Among Women
Code 361
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Sex is often studied in the context of risk rather than pleasure. Data from the second OMGYes Pleasure Report, focusing on women's experience of anal stimulation, was analyzed with logistic regression to assess for the association of sexual orientation with pleasure from internal and external anal stimulation while controlling for other sociodemographics. Gay/lesbian and bisexual women were more likely than straight women to report pleasure related to internal and external anal stimulation from multiple sources. Understanding anal pleasure may help women engage in more satisfying, safer sex.
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to identify the different sources of pleasure for internal and e| | |
Prerequisite Anal sex is often studied and discussed in the context of risk (Gana & Hunt, 2022; Hess et al., 2016), not pleasure. According to the National Survey of Family Growth about a third of women in the United States engage in anal sex (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Though risk is a factor in any sexual encounter, pleasure is as well (Maynard et al., 2009). Of relevance to the current study, lesbian women are more likely to orgasm than straight women (Garcia et al., 2014) indicating that sexual orientation may be a factor in sexual pleasure and empowerment for risk management (Mahar et al., 2020). This study examines the relationship between sexual orientation and anal stimulation while accounting for sociodemographics. Anal stimulation was divided into two categories, internal and external, with four subcategories: one's own finger, a partner's finger, a sex toy, or a penis. SPSS v. 29.0 was used to run chi square and logistic regression on data from the second OMGYes Pleasure Report (Perkins, 2021), an online survey of 3017 woman forming a nationally represented sample, focusing on women's experience of anal stimulation (Hensel et al., 2022). Women who tried anal stimulation in at least one of the eight anal stimulation categories were included (n = 2190). When designating straight women as the reference group, bisexual women were more likely to report pleasure from the four external anal stimulation (EAS) groups, specifically, from one's own finger (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.21, p<.001), a partner's finger (AOR=2.2, p<.001), a sex toy (AOR=3.00, p<.001), and a penis (AOR=1.93, p=.001). Gay/lesbian women were approximately twice as likely to report pleasure from EAS from one's own finger (AOR=2.55, p=.005) and a sex toy (AOR=2.18, p=.027). Gay/lesbian women (AOR=2.95, p=.004) and bisexual women (AOR=1.98, p<.001) were more likely to report pleasure from internal anal stimulation (IAS) with their own finger. Bisexual (AOR=2.00, p<.001) and queer women (AOR=5.6, p=.02), were more likely to report pleasure from IAS with a partner's finger. Gay/lesbian (AOR=2.47, p=.014) and bisexual (AOR=2.49, p<.001) women were more likely to report pleasure from IAS with a sex toy. Bisexual women were more likely to report pleasure from IAS with a penis (AOR=1.78, p=.004). There are meaningful differences in the rates at which gay/lesbian, bisexual, and queer women experience pleasure from anal stimulation compared to straight women. For the majority of the eight categories of anal stimulation, straight women were significantly less likely to find internal or external anal stimulation pleasurable. Understanding how sexual orientation is associated with anal pleasure may help all women engage in more satisfying sex, safer sex practices (Mbarushimana et al., 2023; Zaneva et al., 2022), and orgasm more readily (Frederick et al., 2018). Limitations: Dataset does not explicitly include trans women.

Title Sexual Self-Concepts Among Sexual Minority Men with Childhood Sexual Abuse Histories
Code 392
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This study sought to further understand sexual self-concepts among young sexual minority men with childhood sexual abuse histories. Sixteen (N = 16) participants were interviewed utilizing a hermeneutical phenomenological conceptual framework and methodology. Three themes were found: (1) body image concerns; (2) penile insecurities; and (3) desire for romantic attachment. This study extend previous research on emotional and mental components and has implications for mental health professionals who are likely to interact with childhood sexual abuse survivors who are sexually diverse.
Objective 1. Increase knowledge on the sexual self-concepts among young sexual minority men with a previous history of childhood sexua|2. Identify mental health consideration when providing clinical services to childhood sexual abuse survivors who are sexual m| |
Prerequisite Sexual self-concepts are people's positive and negative perceptions as sexual beings. This study aimed to further understand sexual self-concepts among young sexual minority men with childhood sexual abuse (CSA) histories. Participants were recruited electronically through announcements posted on social media and phone applications. Sixteen (N = 16) participants were interviewed utilizing a hermeneutical phenomenological conceptual framework and methodology. Three quarters (75%) of the sample were White, 19% were Black, and 6% Asian. The ages of participants ranged from 18–27 years with a mean of 22.5 (SD = 2.7) years. Seventy-five percent (75%) identified as gay and 25% as bisexual. Salient themes were developed and analyzed with the assistance of NVivo. Three themes were found: (1) body image concerns;(2) penile insecurities; and (3) desire for romantic attachment. Findings highlight several perceived factors related to sexual self-concepts that could benefit from consideration when providing mental health services. The dominant emotional-mental sexual health concerns reported in this study were related to body image. Mental health providers should initiate detailed conversations about the nature and extent of body image concerns. Clinic-based programs that target body image perception should consider reaching out to males and address gender specific concerns. Future research is needed to examine the power dynamic related to penile size and to assist sexual minority men in effectively communicating their needs and desires to their sexual partners. Many participants discussed difficulty with romantic attachment due to the perceived hookup culture oftentimes promoted by social media sites and social networking applications. This study questions whether this mentality is suggestive of a CSA perception, developmental phenomenon of the age cohort, an aspect of a gay subculture or the larger gay community. Further awareness about the paradigm of body image and healthy relationship development could assist in improving mental health concerns among this group.
Lastly, 72 men qualified for this study, but not all desired to participate. Non-participation could be a potential obstacle to service-seeking behavior or utilization of clinical services among individuals that have experienced severe childhood trauma. Effort should be made to explore potential non-participation in clinical mental health services and allocate different strategies to recruit underrepresented groups. Given that the impact of CSA is traumatic and associated with psychological instability, this study raises attention to mental health factors related to self-esteem, self-worth and intimacy.

Title Shame as a Moderator of Attachment and Sexual Satisfaction
Code 124
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Shame is an intensely painful emotion, adversely impacting mental health and social relationships. The present study addressed a gap in the literature through testing a moderated mediation model focusing on how shame proneness relates to insecure attachment and sexual satisfaction. Results indicate that sexual self-esteem mediated the relationship between insecure attachment style and sexual satisfaction. Shame proneness moderated the relationship between avoidant attachment and sexual satisfaction. Findings provide implications for therapists working with shame-prone clients.
Objective At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe how shame proneness changes the relationship be| | |
Prerequisite OBJECTIVE: The role of shame has been studied individually in relation to both attachment and sexual satisfaction, but the relationship between all three of these variables has yet to be addressed. Prior research examining attachment and sexual satisfaction suggests sexual self-esteem mediates the relationship between attachment and sexual satisfaction. The current study hypothesized that shame proneness would moderate the relationship between insecure attachment and sexual satisfaction. Additionally, we hypothesize that sexual self-esteem will mediate the relationship between insecure attachment and sexual satisfaction.
METHODS: The current study recruited a demographically representative sample from the United States based on age, gender, and race (n = 384) through Prolific to take part in an online survey. The survey included measures related to participants' attachment insecurity, shame proneness, sexual self-esteem, and sexual satisfaction. Participants completed an informed consent, followed by a psychological battery assessing the aforementioned constructs.
RESULTS: Preliminary analyses demonstrated most variables were related to each other in the hypothesized directions, ranging from r = .15-.46. There was no relationship between shame proneness and sexual satisfaction, r = .03. Results showed the following: anxious attachment and avoidant attachment were negatively associated with sexual self-esteem, avoidant attachment was negatively related to sexual satisfaction, and sexual self-esteem was positively related to sexual satisfaction. Sexual self-esteem fully mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and sexual satisfaction, but only partially mediated the relationship between avoidant attachment and sexual satisfaction. Shame proneness interacted with avoidant attachment to create a significant moderating effect on sexual satisfaction. Participants who reported low shame proneness had a negative relationship between avoidant attachment and sexual satisfaction. This negative relationship became less severe as participants reported higher shame proneness.
CONCLUSIONS: The model analyzed in the present study revealed that higher levels of shame proneness weakened the negative relationship between avoidant attachment and sexual satisfaction. Higher degrees of sexual satisfaction among shame prone individuals may indicate the manifestation of a defensive response against the perceived painful messages that a shame prone and avoidantly attached person would internalize as a function of their shame prone, avoidantly attached nature. These findings replicate the little prior research identifying sexual self-esteem as a mediator of insecure attachment and sexual satisfaction and confirms that sexual self-esteem is much more closely tied to anxious attachment than avoidant attachment, thereby leaving greater room for extant variables (e.g., shame proneness) to associate with avoidant attachment.

Title The Impact of Internalized Transphobia on Sexual Assertiveness and Sexual Satisfaction
Code 380
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The constructs of sexual satisfaction and sexual assertiveness have been largely understudied within transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations. In order to begin addressing the gaps in the literature, this study seeks to examine the relationship between these constructs and the additional component of internalized transphobia. This research seeks to inform community sex education and therapeutic practices in order to enhance the sexual wellbeing, and thus the overall wellbeing, of TGD individuals.
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the relationship between sexual assertiveness, sexua| | |
Prerequisite Though there is ample research on the sexual satisfaction and sexual assertiveness of cisgender individuals, these constructs remain understudied for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. Current research suggest there are interpersonal and relational factors leading to high rates of sexual dysfunction for TGD individuals, yet much of the current research on the sexual functioning of TGD individuals has primarily focused on changes in sexual functioning post gender affirming medical treatments. Given the rates of sexual violence and prevalence of HIV in this population, it is paramount that factors influencing these rates, such as sexual assertiveness, be researched in order to gain a deeper understanding of the population. This could inform the creation of preventative measures that can be incorporated into community sex education and therapeutic treatments. The present study is seeking to answer the following questions: Does sexual assertiveness predict sexual satisfaction in TGD individuals? Does internalized transphobia predict sexual assertiveness in TGD individuals? Does internalized transphobia moderate the relationship between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction?
Prior to collecting data, the recruitment procedures, recruitment materials, and methodology were distributed to TGD scholars and community members to gather and incorporate their feedback. The final survey was distributed on social media platforms. The survey included the collection of demographics, the Internalized Transphobia sub scale of the Gender Minority Stress and Resiliency scale (Testa et al., 2015), the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (Štulhofer et al., 2010), the Sexual Assertiveness Questionnaire (Loshek & Terrell, 2015), the genital, chest and other secondary sex characteristics sub scales from the Gender Congruence and Life Satisfaction scale (Jones et al., 2019), and an additional scale developed for this study to collect information about the sexual experiences of TGD individuals that were not captured within the chosen measures. The participants were TGD adults, spoke English and had at least one prior partnered sexual experience. A total of 205 people participated, including 76 individuals that identified as non-binary, 75 individuals that identified as a woman and 54 individuals that identified as a man. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis will be conducted to test for the main effect of sexual assertiveness on sexual satisfaction (H1), the main effect of internalized transphobia on sexual assertiveness (H2) and the interaction effect between internalized transphobia and sexual assertiveness on sexual satisfaction (H3). Sexual assault history, relationship status, gender of partner/partners, genital gender dysphoria and chest gender dysphoria will all be entered into Model 1 as control variables with sexual assertiveness. The full results and conclusions from this study will be completed and presented with the poster.

Title The Sexual Interest Matrix
Code 416
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description When individuals or couples present to therapy with sexual struggles, research has shown that these issues are correlated with a lack of partner communication and difficulties with sexual expression (Pazmany et al., 2015). The stigma surrounding sexual behaviors has stifled sexual conversations for too long. This poster will show a new theoretical model, based in the literature, that was developed to provide a framework upon which to visualize the interlaced aspects of desire, sex positivity, satisfaction, and expression.
Objective Participants will be able to compare and contrast similarities and differences of paraphilias, fetishes, and kinky sexual in|Participants will be able to describe the theory behind the Sexual Interest Matrix and its intention to provide broader accep| |
Prerequisite Sexual interests continue to be pathologized due to a binary system of assessment. Sexual interests are consistently subjected to rigid evaluation, with two main categories: "kinks," widely acknowledged but often accompanied by various concerns, and "paraphilias," believed to be associated with mental health issues (Herbenick et al., 2017). This can be harmful to many, as 'unconventional' sexual interests constitute as much as 46.8% of sexual behavior for US adults (Williams & Sprott, 2022). Unconventional sexual interests encompass a broad range of erotic preferences that include fantasies, fetishes, and atypical sexual behaviors (Herbenick et al., 2017). Sexual interests and behaviors that are considered "abnormal" are usually termed paraphilia. Paraphilia disorder is defined specifically as "an intense and persistent sexual interest other than sexual interest in genital stimulation or preparatory fondling with phenotypically normal, physically mature, consenting human partners," (APA, 2022). This definition is intended to be used by psychiatrists. However, the medicalization of sex has led to stigma and a narrowing of understanding around the complexity of human sexuality. This stigma impacts all levels of sexual health creating a large barrier for the individuals who may benefit from treatment to overcome (Randall & Sprott, 2016).
Inspired by the accessibility of visual representations of data, this presentation utilizes a queer approach to deconstruct our interpretation of sexual interests and desires. The etiology of sexual interests and behaviors involves a kaleidoscope of variables. The prominent models of understanding for paraphilias, kinks or behaviors do not recognize the contextual factors and spectrum of expression (Randall & Sprott, 2016). When individuals or couples present to therapy with sexual difficulties, research has shown that these issues are correlated with a lack of partner communication and difficulties with sexual expression (Pazmany et al., 2015). The stigma surrounding sexual behaviors has stifled sexual conversations for too long. This presentation will show a new theoretical model, based in the literature, that was developed to provide a framework upon which to visualize the interlaced aspects of desire, sex positivity, satisfaction, and expression. The spectrum was created with the overall intention to de-stigmatize sexual interests, and increase the ease of communication between clients and sex therapists. By utilizing this new empirically supported synthesis of information, sexologists will be able to apply a nuanced understanding of sexual interest and distress.

Title LMFT Intern
Biography
As a cisgender white woman living in the U.S. I hold incredible privilege in a society still marked by systemic racism and transphobia. Because of these societal barriers, it can be difficult to claim some of my own identities as marginalized such as being neurodivergent and bisexual. At the age of 37, I am also a widow and therefore main breadwinner for my stepson. However, I cannot ignore how these parts of my identity influence my experience in the world. As these identities are often invisible, I know the unique feeling of never quite fitting into the boxes provided. This greatly impacts my perspective on people and systems, allowing me to find comfort and liberation in embracing nuance. Paired with this awareness, I am continually motivated to learn about the nuances of marginalized communities so that I can ethically use my power and experience to create change.
Currently, I am a LMFT Intern at Relationship Reality 312 where I mainly work with couples who have experienced infidelity and individuals with CPTSD. I am a graduate student at Purdue Northwest and anticipate graduating December 2024. I also work as an adjunct professor of psychology at Ivy Tech Community College where I teach undergraduate courses in Abnormal Psychology and Human Sexuality. Previously, I graduated from Texas A&M - Kingsville with a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings including substance abuse, inpatient psychiatric care, and community health.

Title Whipple Plenary: Black Male Sexual Victimization
Code
Type Plenary Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Black males are disproportionately victims of sexual violence, intimate partner violence/homicide (IPV/IPH), and suicide. Recent data from the CDC's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS/2022) indicate that 58 percent of Black males report sexual violence, physical violence, and or stalking by an intimate partner. Black males overwhelmingly report being made to penetrate, sexual coercion, and unwarranted sexual contact where the primary perpetrators are female. Frameworks such as intersectionality fail to adequately capture Black male vulnerability. Most frameworks that attempt to explain the experiences of Black males are deficit and pathology-oriented frameworks that lack empirical evidence and are inherently racist. This presentation provides comprehensive information on Black male sexual victimization that fills a critical and urgent void in the mental health field. Therefore, professionals will be able to begin to adequately recognize and articulate the sexual victimization of Black males and provide responsive care and clinical interventions that inform treatment approaches.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Describe the sexual victimization of Black men and boys.|Examine a prevailing racial script in the Black community.|Assess the clinical implications of the sexual victimization of Black men and boys|

Title Are Your Client's Sexual Values Aligned, or in a 69?
Code 413
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description An exploration of the significance of sexual values, offering insights into the impact of sexual beliefs, preferences, and behaviors on one's well-being. It will delve into how sexual values are shaped and provide an evidence-based approach to assist therapy clients in examining their sexual values and gaining awareness of how they shape thoughts and actions. It will discuss the consequences of being out of alignment with these values and provide practical guidance on how to empower clients to navigate their sexual values consciously and make decisions that align with their core beliefs.
Intended Audience: Counselors, Therapists
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to demonstrate the impact of sexual beliefs, preferences, and behaviors on one's well-being and name one evidence-based approach to assist individuals in examining their sexual values in order to navigate their sexual values consciously and make decisions that align with their core beliefs.| | |
Prerequisite This presentation explores the concept of values-aligned sexuality, using an evidence-based approach of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a framework for sex therapists to help clients understand the significance of aligning sexual choices with core values and beliefs and to provide guidance on how to live in congruence with these values.
Dr. Rebbeca Lahann is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Clinical Psychologist. Her presentation includes an exploration of sexual value formation and considerations for becoming more aware of one's core beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors regarding sexuality. The central theme is understanding how one can become misaligned with sexual values and how to make intentional choices that maintain alignment with these values.
It addresses common experiences and challenges individuals may encounter in their sexual relationships and attempts to manage or avoid distressing feelings through various coping mechanisms. It will also delve into why these coping mechanisms may not effectively address the core issues. This includes being "stuck" in negative thoughts and emotions, which can hinder personal growth and connection in relationships. It will highlight the concept that sexual values are a subset of one's broader values, specifically related to sexual beliefs, behaviors, preferences, and pleasure and that these values significantly shape one's thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
It will emphasize the role of sexual values in shaping core beliefs, communication patterns, expectations, and judgments related to sexuality and how they serve as a compass for making decisions that align with one's deeply held values. It will discuss various influences on sexual values and explore signs that an individual may be out of alignment with them. It will introduce the concept of psychological flexibility, which enables individuals to observe present experiences and modify behaviors in line with their chosen values. This contrasts with psychological inflexibility, characterized by rigid thinking and resistance to accepting one's experiences. Dr. Lahann outlines a six-point approach to fostering psychological flexibility and will include experiential strategies to help sex therapists assist individuals in mapping their sexual values and recognizing whether they are currently living in alignment with these values or not.
This presentation is meant to help therapists guide their clients in developing a deeper understanding of their sexual values, align their choices and behaviors with them, and ultimately foster healthier, more fulfilling sexual relationships. The evidence-based approach of ACT provides a foundation for this exploration, encouraging mindfulness, flexibility, and commitment to personal values. By the end of the presentation, participants are equipped with the tools and knowledge to help clients make informed decisions about their sexuality and relationships based on their deeply held values.

Title Sex on the Spectrum: Navigating Intimacy With Autism
Code 333
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Learn how to support autistic individuals in enjoying intimacy, working through sexual obstacles, building confidence, and more. Autistic people's sensory sensitivities, different ways of processing social and emotional information, cognitive rigidity, and passionate interests may present challenges but can also be leveraged as assets in the bedroom. This talk will cover how autistic people may approach sex differently from neurotypical people and how sexuality professionals can help them.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Describe how autistic people may approach sex differently and how they can leverage and enjoy these differences|Identify information that may need to be imparted to autistic clients about sex|Suggest solutions for common obstacles autistic people face in the bedroom|
Prerequisite Autistic people are often desexualized in the media and common discourse, leading to a cultural silence around autistic people's sexuality. As a result, many autistic people receive inadequate sex education, struggle with sexual confidence, and feel inhibited in expressing their true sexual selves (Joyal et al., 2021). Some may feel undesirable due to their autistic traits, and some may struggle to initiate sexual relationships or communicate with partners.
This talk will teach sex therapists, educators, and counselors how to assist autistic people with their sex lives. It will cover how sensory sensitivities show up in the bedroom, how to treat sexual dysfunctions in the autistic population, why kink can be a helpful tool for autistic clients, and how autistic traits can be an asset in bed (Weiss, 2022; Turner at al., 2019). I'll explain how to deliver information to autistic clients using the PLISSIT model and how to use sensitive language and uplifting words that empower them. I'll also offer some concrete scripts for how autistic people can communicate with their partners about consent, preferences, and feelings. I will discuss my own personal experience building confidence in my sex and love life as an autistic person, as well as my professional experience as an AASECT-certified sexuality educator, sex/love coach, and sexual assault counselor.
I'll also discuss the overlap between the autistic community and the non-monogamy, BDSM, and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as the sexual assault epidemic among autistic people and how to support survivors. Autistic people are disproportionately likely to identify as queer, gender-nonconforming, and non-monogamous, so affirming these identities is an essential part of working with autistic people (Sala et al., 2020; Sarris, 2020). It is also important to teach autistic people how they deserve to be treated and how to speak up if they are ever in a sexual situation where they feel uncomfortable (Hunter et al., 2014). This talk will take an empowering approach to neurodiversity that focuses on affirming autistic people's worthiness.

Title The Bio Component of Bio-Psycho-Social: The Impact of Female Hormones on Sexuality Over the Lifespan
Code 379
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description This 60-minute workshop explores the ways in which the hormonal changes of normal biological stages - puberty, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause - impact female sexuality. Taking a holistic approach and going beyond estrogen, Arya will help you better understand the relationship between sex hormones and all body systems that contribute to female sexual well-being. This is information that participants will be able to share with any client interested in understanding the role of hormones in women's sexual experiences.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this workshop participants will be able to identify low-estrogen stages of life and explain the impact of low estrogen levels on sexual wellness.| | |
Prerequisite Women, clinicians, and educators are woefully under-informed when it comes to the role of hormones in female sexuality. While we are more than our biological components, understanding those components is critical to cultivating whole health, which includes sexual wellness. In my clinical practice, I often see women who were never taught how the normal fluctuation of their sex hormones impacts not only their reproductive life, but their mood, risk for chronic illness, and more. Once they learn this crucial information, they are able to use it to make informed decisions about how they handle the inter- and intra-personal discord that can result from hormone changes.
In this educational workshop, I will go beyond the estrogen paradigm, and provide insight into the ways in which estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, oxytocin, and prolactin impact sexual function. This will lay the foundation for an exploration of the major life stages during which these hormones deviate the most from "normal" (i.e. non-pregnant, reproductive-aged levels) and these changes affect sexual response. Finally, we will discuss evidence-based strategies for managing troubling symptoms. The participant will leave with a deeper understanding of the female reproductive hormone cycle and the physiologically normal changes it undergoes throughout the lifespan. My hope is that they will then share this information with clients as a foundational component of sexuality education.

Title The Rise of Rough Sex: What Sexuality Professionals Need to Know About Today's Emerging Trends
Code 381
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description In the past decade, rough sex (e.g., choking, smothering, face slapping, genital slapping, name-calling) has increased dramatically in prevalence. A 2020 campus-representative survey of nearly 5000 college students showed that 80% had ever engaged in rough sex. Also, 1 in 3 young adult women were choked/strangled during their most recent sexual encounter - usually consensually. This presentation will draw from several recent studies on rough sex to address its prevalence, frequency, styles, as well as implications for communication, consent, mental health, and physical health.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the health consequences of engaging in sexual choking/strangulation, even when consensual. | | |
Prerequisite Over the past decade, rough sex behaviors have increased substantially in the general population and notably have moved into the mainstream. For example, the 2020 campus-representative Campus Sexual Health Survey found that about 80% of college students had engaged in rough sex. Also, a 2021 US nationally representative survey found that 1 in 3 young adult women had been choked/strangled during their most recent sexual encounter.
Although rough sex (e.g., choking, face slapping, genital slapping, consensual non-consent, smothering, etc.) have become more prevalent and also more normalized, they are often being engaged in by people who have no connection to kink or BDSM communities and thus are also lacking the benefit of education, mentorship, and modeling of values related to "safe, sane, and consensual" or to "risk-aware consensual kink."
Using data from US nationally representative surveys, campus-representative surveys, in-depth qualitative interviews, and content analyses, this presentation will address:
- The prevalence of rough sex behaviors in the US population, with a focus on sexual choking, smothering, slapping, name-calling, and punching
- The prevalence of sexual choking, smothering, slapping, and consensual non-consent (CNC) among undergraduate and graduate students
- Where people learn about rough sex
- Online misinformation related to rough sex
- Health consequences of sexual choking in terms of mental health as well as neurological changes (often described as the "hidden injuries" of strangulation)
- Implications for sexual consent, withdrawal of consent, and communication
- Harm reduction strategies for rough sex, with a focus on sexual choking/strangulation given its higher risk profile in terms of health
Attendees will learn:
- Terminology that they may have previously been unfamiliar with
- How to discuss rough sex with people in ways that are non-shaming and focused on supporting people in making choices about their sexual lives that feel good to them and their partners
- How to approach rough sex in ways that attend to care, communication, and consent
- About fact-based educational resources about rough sex (both youth-focused resources as well as adult-facing resources)

Title Understanding Trafficking Survivors and Consensual Sex Workers through Community-Led Research
Code 384
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description This original research presentation provides recommendations for sexuality educators, counselors, therapists, social workers, allies and advocotes from a sex worker led community based participatory research project. Often, prostitution and trafficking in the sex industry are conflated by law enforcement and social service providers, which makes it increasingly difficult to meet individuals' needs and perpetuates cycles of shame and stigma. Hearing directly from people in the sex industry (consensual sex workers and survivors of trafficking), attendees can better provide services and resources applicable to all clients.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will be able to identify the differences between adult consensual sex work and human trafficking and apply the evidence-based results and recommendations from participants with lived experiences to their work with clients.| | |
Prerequisite This original research presentation provides recommendations for sexuality educators from a sex worker led community based participatory research project. The objective of the study is to better understand how US legislative and carceral approaches to trafficking in the sex industry impacts victims of trafficking and adults consensually engaging in prostitution. This project focuses primarily on individual stories, which are then contextualized through critical analysis of current US legislation. We will briefly outline the purpose of the research and share evidence-based results and recommendations from participants with lived experiences, with a focus on intersectionality, advocacy, and solidarity.
We present our analysis of interviews with 69 individuals who have engaged in adult consensual sex work and identity as victims of trafficking and/or have been convicted of trafficking. These participants come from a variety of areas of the sex industry including escorts, street-based sex workers, and those who have worked in pornography. Our participants comprise people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, and cis and trans men, women, and non-binary people. In particular, we highlight the perspectives of those who are marginalized on the basis of their incarceration history. Centering their voices, we explore how their experiences confront and contradict the legal, political, and media representations of trafficking and prostitution.
We show how the criminalization of prostitution impacts individuals engaged in consensual sex work as well as victims and survivors of trafficking. We offer specific recommendations for sexuality professionals and service providers that are framed by participants based on their lived experiences that do not simply reflect but move beyond the constrained "force" and "choice" categories in the sex industry.

Title A Collective Journey: Unlocking Existential Wisdom in Sex Therapy
Code 109
Type Roundtable
Topic
Presenters
Description Join our roundtable discussion for a transformative perspective on sexual dysfunctions. Rather than treating them as isolated symptoms, we'll explore how they convey profound existential messages about our existence and being. From hyper-sexual activity to delayed ejaculation, inability to experience pleasure, or the complexities of infidelity, we'll uncover the deeper meanings within these challenges. Together, we'll discuss how therapists can attune themselves to these existential messages and create a space for clients to be heard, understood, and guided toward personal growth and healing.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective By the end of the first 45minute session, participants will have a clear understanding of the fundamental principles of the existential approach in sex therapy and its application in addressing relationship and sexual struggles.
|After the second 45-minute session, participants will have engaged in meaningful discussions, shared valuable insights, and explored the therapist's pivotal role in uncovering existential wisdom in sex therapy.| |
Prerequisite Our roundtable presentation is designed to promote active participation, open discussions, and the sharing of valuable resources. This session is ideal for therapists seeking to deepen their understanding of existential approaches and their application in addressing sexual dysfunction and relationship struggles. This 90-minute session is divided into two segments for a comprehensive exploration. Together, we will explore various key topics, including:
Segment 1: Exploring Existential Wisdom through Literature and Case Studies
In the initial 45 minutes, we'll delve into the core principles of existential approaches in sex therapy. Our focus includes:
- Meaning, Purpose, and Adaptive Value: One of our fundamental tenets is that sexual problems and relationship struggles are not mere symptoms but rather multifaceted challenges. We will delve into the notion that these issues carry profound meaning and purpose, and that they may even possess adaptive value in the context of an individual's or a couple's life journey.
- Subjective Experiences: Shifting the lens from physical dysfunction to personal and emotional aspects.We believe that understanding the deeply personal, emotional, and psychological aspects of these challenges is critical to providing effective therapy.
- Beyond the Binary: Recognizing the intertwining of organic and psychological factors, along with relational, psychosocial, and socioeconomic dimensions.Our goal is to explore these multifaceted aspects of dysfunction and offer holistic solutions.
- Personal and Interpersonal Growth: Our approach is not limited to fixing the problem; rather, we view these challenges as opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth. We will discuss how therapists can guide clients in embracing these challenges as catalysts for personal development and achieving optimal erotic intimacy.
Segment 2: Open Discussions and Sharing Insights
In the next 45 minutes, we encourage:
- Sharing Clinical Insights: Foster collaborative discussions on the therapist's pivotal role in uncovering existential wisdom in sex therapy. We will explore the practical applications and the challenges therapists face when incorporating existential approaches.
- Therapist's Role: Encourage participants to share resources and tools for personal growth and development that have proven valuable in their journey of addressing sexual dysfunction from an existential perspective.
- Resource Sharing: Delve into resources and tools for therapists' personal growth and development. We understand the importance of ongoing self-improvement in effectively addressing clients' existential turmoil.

Title Assessing the Impact of LGBTQ Legislation on the Missouri Community and Healthcare Providers
Code 177
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description In the state of Missouri, two laws were passed and enacted in the summer of 2023 for restricting gender affirming healthcare and athletic participation for transgender youth. The impact of these laws are being felt across the state. We utilized an online survey of Missouri LGBTQ community members, parents of LGBTQ youth, and healthcare professionals for assessing the impact on stress, discrimination, and intent to leave the state. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered in the fall of 2023 and analyzed for within and between group findings.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the impact of new anti-LGBTQ legislation on LGBTQ adults, parents of LGBTQ youth, and healthcare provider in the state of Missouri.| | |
Prerequisite Background
Misinformation became a national past-time in the United States after its discovery as a useful political tool during the 2016 presidential election [1, 2]. Currently, a new proliferation of misinformation is being used for writing laws, garnering support from voters and legislators, enacting policy changes in child welfare and school systems, and criminalizing the use of best practices in gender affirming medical interventions in healthcare [3]. In the state of Missouri, 15 bills were proposed in the 2023 legislative session seeking to limit the rights and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth and adults in educational and healthcare systems [4]. Two significant laws passed in May 2023 for restricting gender affirming care for minors and the presence of transgender youth in sports. The impact of these laws are just now being realized. On September 11, 2023 the Washington University in St. Louis Children's Transgender Clinic announced its closing. No other gender affirming care exists for minor youth in the state of Missouri. To better understand its impact on the mental health of the LGBTQ community and their families in Missouri, and the desire of providers to continue practice in Missouri, this study has 5 aims: 1) Describe the mental health of LGBTQ adults in the state of Missouri; 2) Describe the mental health of parents of minor LGBTQ youth in the state of Missouri; 3) Describe the mental health of medical and mental health providers who provide care for LGBTQ youth in Missouri; and 4) Describe the intent of Missouri mental and medical providers to continue to provide care to the LGBTQ community; and 5) Describe the intent of LGBTQ adults and their families to remaining living and working in Missouri.
Method and Analysis
The design of the study is a mixed methods concurrent triangulation strategy [5]. The qualitative and quantitative data will be captured concurrently and then the results will be compared and integrated. A web-based survey was utilized for collecting data from across the state of Missouri. MTurk is being used to support recruitment. The study is currently in data collection. We anticipate reaching our needed sample by December 2023 and will commence analysis of the data. A descriptive analysis will begin the study for understanding the three groups in terms of demographics, means, and ranges of study variables. Correlational analysis will be analyzed in association with items and demographics (e.g., correlation between stress and mental health items, correlation between transgender identity and increased stress, etc.). Differences between subgroups (e.g., transgender adults, LGB adults, cisgender women, Black transgender adult, parent of transgender kids, parent of LGB kids) will be analyzed related to stress using simple t tests.
Future Results
We anticipate by spring 2024, to have a full report from the survey for dissemination.

Title Let's Talk About Size Diversity in Sex: A Collaborative Exploration of the Known, Unknown, and Bias
Code 377
Type Roundtable
Topic
Presenters
Description Body size diversity and fatness are diversity dimensions often unacknowledged in the field of sex therapy and education. Many of our clients are larger-bodied and/or engaging in size-diverse sexual encounters. Yet frequently we prescribe thin sex techniques and perspectives that our clients cannot relate to, resulting in further marginalization due to lack of representation and person-specific treatment plans. At this roundtable, Rose Lange will present a brief review of current research on fat sex and will then facilitate a lively discussion to gather group expertise and explore our biases.
Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Supervisors
Objective At the end of this roundtable, participants will be able to identify three interventions to use specifically with larger-bodied and size-diverse clients.|At the end of this roundtable, participants will be able to describe their particular biases towards larger-bodied people and identify practical and tangible next steps for themselves in addressing their biases and providing more equitable care for larger-bodied and size-diverse people.| |
Prerequisite Body size diversity and fatness are diversity dimensions often unacknowledged in the field of sex therapy and education. As the emphasis on serving marginalized identities and having a multicultural intersectional perspective grows in our field, many fat people are feeling left behind in the conversation (Bergen & Mollen, 2019; Kasardo, 2018). At the same time, there is a growing body of research coming out of fat liberation and critical fat studies fields that applies directly to the sex therapy and education work we do (Bacon & Aphramor, 2011; Davis-Coelho et. al., 2000; Gordon, 2020; Lawrence et. al., 2012; Wann, 2009).
Many of our clients are larger-bodied and/or engaging in size-diverse sexual encounters. (Size-diverse is defined as one or more person having sex has a conventionally smaller body and one or more person has a larger body). Yet frequently we prescribe thin sex techniques and perspectives that our clients cannot relate to or execute. This results in further marginalization due to lack of representation and person-specific treatment interventions. For example, many fat people believe they cannot have fulfilling, orgasmic sex or even simply have sex at all; the truth is, they are attempting to have what the presenter has labeled "thin sex" which does not work for their bodies. They are not taught positions specifically designed for their unique body types, or how to move their flesh around during sex to engage in different sensations and offer access to different areas of the body. This roundtable is important for any sex therapist or educator who wants to diversify their offerings.
The purpose of this roundtable is to briefly educate on current research and therapeutic practices with larger-bodied individuals and size-diverse intimate relationships. This Powerpoint-driven brief lecture will drive the remainder of the roundtable, which will be spent discussing as a group our work with this population, including evidence-based and research-informed experiences (Bacon & Aphramor, 2011; Bergen & Mollen, 2019; Gordon, 2020; Lawrence et. al., 2012; Pratt et. al., 2016). The facilitator will also create space for an exploration of our biases with this population. As we know, good therapeutic and educational work cannot be done unless the provider is actively exploring and addressing their biases with a marginalized population. This roundtable will provide space for participants to either start or continue that important work of addressing internalized and externalized fatphobia and bias and the impact it has on their sex therapy and education work.

Title
Biography
Rose Lange is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. Her training background is in marriage and family therapy from Fuller Seminary in California, and she especially values working with individuals, couples, families and teens in order to help them improve their relationships with themselves and those around them. She is currently working on her Ph.D. in couple and family therapy at Adler University in Chicago as well as her certificate in sex therapy.
Rose is experienced in working with clients, intimate relationship dynamics, and families. For Rose, the benefit of therapy lies in the building of a unique relationship between client and therapist that fosters insight and growth, allowing for the client to achieve their goals. She integrates a variety of therapeutic models into her work with clients, including-- but not limited to-- contextual and restoration therapy, mindfulness, emotionally-focused therapy, and long-term focused therapy with a collaborative approach.
Rose's scholarly and research agenda prioritizes the multicultural expansion of human identity and the promotion of liberation. Fat liberation and body size diversity education is her priority, especially in the sex therapy arena. Many identities continue to be "left behind" as our therapeutic fields advance, fatness and body size being one of them. Rose believes that all body sizes and shapes deserve to experience pleasure and good sex if they so choose, and education and research including these people needs to be prioritized.
When she isn’t working with clients or working on Ph.D. tasks, you can find her at home with her husband and three house-bunnies, watching movies and reading books.

Title Psychiatry and Sex: From Pathology to Pleasure
Code 255
Type Roundtable
Topic
Presenters
Description Psychiatrists are in a unique position to address sexuality given their focus on psychosocial and medical well-being. In this literature review, we examined the intersection between psychiatry and sexual health. Literature suggests that psychiatrists to not prioritize sexuality, and patients feel uncomfortable bringing up sexual health concerns. The data reported above in conjunction with psychiatry's fraught history with sex emphasizes the need for psychiatrists to collaborate with sex educations in discussing sex with their patients.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Identify gaps in the integration of sexual health in psychiatric practice.|Explain why it is important for psychiatrists to collaborate with experts in the sexual health field.| |
Prerequisite Introduction: Sexual health is vital to the overall state of psychosocial and physical wellbeing in relationship to sexuality, and not merely the absence of dysfunction. Most adults (94%) believe that sexual pleasure improves quality of life. Psychiatry has a history of targeting individuals as abnormal, and more recently, has taken the realm of "normal" into its domain when it diverges from the social fantasy of normativity. Despite psychiatry's complex relationship with sex, we argue that psychiatrists are in a unique position to address sexual health concerns given their focus on both psychosocial and medical well-being. In this study, we examine the current intersection between psychiatry and the field of sexual health.
Methods: A literature review of the topic was performed.
Results: Firstly, literature reveals that psychiatrists do not adequately prioritize their patients' sexual health concerns and report discomfort and lack of competence in this area. In a cross-sectional study of 100 psychiatrists, less than a third reported that they ask over 80% of their patients about sexual health, although half of them suspected sexual problems in 41-80% of patients. Barriers included "lack of time", "embarrassment", and gender or cultural differences. Secondly, literature shows that psychiatric patients feel uncomfortable bringing up sexual health concerns when psychiatrists do not initiate the topic, despite a clear association between sexual function and psychiatric comorbidities. In a study of patients on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, only 14% spontaneously reported sexual dysfunction, while 55% reported dysfunction when asked directly by their provider. This discrepancy significantly impacts the functioning of psychiatric patients. In a study of 73 women diagnosed with female sexual dysfunction, 98.6% were found to have psychiatric comorbidities (i.e., anxiety, depression).
Conclusions: Psychiatry and sex have been linked since the time of Freud, who emphasized the importance of libido in psychological functioning. However, psychiatry historically viewed sex from a pathologizing perspective rather than emphasizing sexual health or pleasure and continues to stumble with its relationship to sexuality. Medicine has a history of exploiting BIPOC individuals and psychiatric research continues to prioritize non-BIPOC bodies. The data reported above in conjunction with psychiatry's fraught history with sex emphasizes the need for psychiatrists to take the lead in discussing sex with their patients, with cultural humility and attention to the disruption of cultural normativity. Psychiatrists are in a unique position to work with sexual health experts in treating sexual health concerns because 1) they focus on psychological and medical aspects of health and disease, and 2) they utilize pharmacology and psychotherapy. Psychiatrists must discuss sex from a non-pathologizing lens if they want to address the "whole" patient.

Biography
Pidgeon Pagonis has worked for over a decade as an intersex advocate, speaker, consultant, photographer and filmmaker to shed light on the human rights violations endured by intersex people. Their goal is to help end the non-consensual irreversible medical procedures meant to discipline unruly intersex bodies. Pidgeon’s accessible advocacy helps people complicate their preconceived binary notions about “biological differences”. Their work has been essential for those who want to show up for intersex people in their lives, but aren’t sure where to start.
Whether advancing the intersex cause as the co-founder of the Intersex Justice Project (IJP), co-producing viral informational videos, creating art that centers intersex voices, appearing on the cover of National Geographic “Gender Revolution” special issue or being honored as a LGBTChampion of Change in by the Obama White House, Pidgeon has staked out a place at the fore of debates on intersexuality. In 2020, IJP’s #EndIntersexSurgery campaign succeeded in getting Lurie Children’s to become the first hospital in the nation to apologize and halt surgeries. Currently, they’re working on their memoir slated to be published in 2023 by Little A Press.

Title Consent Games in Sex Education
Code 137
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description A student-centered approach helps people invest in the learning process and retain information. Active learning is also fun and increases engagement. This interactive workshop will help participants learn three different sex education lessons to teach consent in the classroom. Consent is an essential lesson for adolescents to learn throughout the lifespan as they navigate negotiating everything from sharing to sexual intimacy. This workshop promises to be both fun and engaging while offering tangible resources for educators to implement with their own students.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Define consent|demonstrate three interactive ways to teach consent| |
Prerequisite Teaching consent from a student-centered approach helps people invest in the learning process and retain information. Participants will learn three different sex education games to foster learning and discussion among their students. They will also learn how intersectionality affects dynamics of consent. Black women, trans women, and people with disabilities are all assaulted at higher rates than their white counterparts. Acknowledging this is essential. It allows people to talk about consent and power as it relates to race, gender, and age. While the lesson plans being taught are geared at youth, it prompts the conversation early to implement intersectionality as it relates to consent. This engaging workshop will teach participants additional methods for teaching consent.

Title Ethical Debate & Restorative Justice: Community, Compromise & Repairing Harm for Adolescents
Code 412
Type Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Engage in ethical debate, practicing civil discourse. Explore tools from Harvard's "Project Zero" to build compromise. Discover why this theory- and evidence-based approach works: collaboration in positive, inclusive, safe learning communities where every voice matters. Use developmental characteristics of adolescence to bolster critical thinking, engagement, and equity. Interact in a unique form of restorative circle to engage with student voice. Use the community of the classroom to build interpersonal skills for adolescents to handle sensitive topics in an emotionally safe setting.
Objective At the end of this session, participants will be able to exercise with students how to work in harmony with others who have different opinions, using ethical debate as a form of culturally responsive pedagogy to enact equity, have students support their ideas, take turns sharing their thoughts, and build compromise.|Participants will have the tools to delve deeply into sensitive and controversial issues in a safe, supportive, positive, collaborative community.|Participants will understand the core principles of these activities to be able to apply these activities and similar ones in effective ways in groups with adolescents.|
Prerequisite Purpose: Participants will go experience how the methods affect students by participating themselves, and be able to critically analyze their experience to understand the principles behind the methods, how and why they work.
Content/Skills: Participants will learn the format of ethical debate,
fostering civil discourse, and how to evolve debate into restorative
circles, forming compromises between differing points of view, and
building communication skills around sensitive topics.
Participants will come away with a new teaching method that works with
both homogenous and heterogenous groups of learners.
Participant Experience:
1. Community Check-In, groups agreements
2. Abbreviated demonstration and description of Lesson: Participate,
Engage, Share, Connect
Phase 1 - Jigsaw Learning
After learners are divided into "home" groups, each person is
assigned a letter (a,b,c,d) which represents their "letter" group.
Facilitator will pose a question to the large group.
Learners get into their "letter groups" and together review
information on one of four handouts, each supporting a different
viewpoint.
Learners return to "home groups" to share with each other what they
learned in their "letter groups".
Phase 2 - Ethical Debate
Learners are posed the same question for debate. Four viewpoints they
just learned about in the jigsaw session are given as response
options. Each learner goes to the group that represents their own
viewpoint based on what they learned from their group members in their
home groups.
The teams go through 3 rounds:
Round 1 - Why is your choice the right choice?
Round 2 - Why are the other choices wrong?
Round 3 - What is the most likely outcome if your choice were chosen?
(Presented in a brief skit)
Phase 3, Debate Extensions: Listen and Learn
~ Compromise: The Options Diamond
Learners form two opposing teams based on extremes, building Tug of
War Charts.
Learners form new teams with opponents to create compromises using the
Options Diamond.
~ Restorative Justice Circle
Learners write and submit questions/thoughts in the following realms:
- Questions about the topic of the ethical debate
- Personal hurt, frustration, or confusion by ideas or actions of
other learners during the ethical debate
- Connections to personal situations in real life that the learners
would like the chance to discuss with others in the circle.
Facilitator chooses questions/comments for discussion in the
restorative circle, maintaining making sure all voices are heard.
4. Theoretical and Research underpinnings for educational approach.
Explore the basis and reasoning behind the activities done so far.
5. Deconstruct
Participants will discuss how they felt throughout the activities 1-3: how each made them feel, what was positive/negative, if they agree or disagree on the research based on their experience and if they have remaining questions to work through as a group, revisiting activity 1.

Title Halal Sex T.A.L.K.S. : Improving Parent-child Sexual Communication amongst Muslim Parents
Code 397
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Parents play a fundamental role in their children and teens' positive sexual development, but generally have great difficulty discussing sexuality topics. This research session will review the study titled, "Halal Sex T.A.L.K.S.- Improving Parent-child Sexual Communication amongst Muslim Parents" which used an online faith-based course for Muslim parents to teach them age-appropriate sex ed, infused with their values and beliefs. This safe space allowed Muslim parents to learn what to say and how to say it (something many Muslim parents were never taught growing up).
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will be able to describe one to three specific societal and religious challenges for Muslim parents and communities in regards to sex and sexuality education.
|Participants will be able to identify one to three age-appropriate faith-based sexuality education methods to be provided to parents to teach their Muslim children and teens sex education in the home. | |
Prerequisite The purpose of this study was to better understand if faith-based sexuality education can assist Muslim parents with engaging in parent-child sexual communication with their children and teens. The intervention provided sexuality education to Muslim parents about implementing parent-child sexual communication in a way consistent with their religious values and beliefs. This study aims to review the effectiveness of a faith-based online sexuality education program for this population.
Parents play a fundamental role in their children and teens' positive sexual development, but generally have great difficulty discussing sexuality topics (Astle, Toews, et al., 2021). Many parents, who commonly did not receive any sexuality education themselves from their own parents or guardians, allow feelings of discomfort to impede communication (Kee-Jiar & Shih-Hui, 2020). The ongoing silence of sex and sexuality within the home can create a sense of embarrassment and shame surrounding the topic (Othman et al., 2020). Such feelings further prevent children and teens from seeking reliable information from parents (Walker, 2004). Research has shown that parent-child sexual communication has been linked to improved sexual behaviors among youth, such as delayed sexual debut, increased contraceptive use, decreased teen pregnancy, and decreased risk of STIs. There is currently no known evidence-based sexual education program for Muslim parents to increase PCSC.
Sexual Values in Islam
Over the past century, western society has undergone a societal shift and sexual revolution in which one's sexual behaviors are considered synonymous with one's identity (Trueman, 2020). Additionally, apart from sexual consent, the sexual revolution does not restrict sex through religiously moral boundaries, such as marital and heterosexual sex (Trueman, 2022). In contrast, the religion of Islam is rooted in the Quran and Sunnah (the life of the Prophet Muhammad) and constitutes a way of life governed by morals, values, and submission to God (Esposito, 2004). Muslims, followers of Islam, are expected to diligently strive to please God through worship, exemplifying good character, and abiding by His rules (Waines, 2003). Muslims seek to maintain proper sexual behaviors, as identified by Islamic rulings, in effort to please God, obey Him, and ultimately earn Paradise in the afterlife (Al-Ghazali, 2007). Culturally competent sexuality education for Muslims should be offered through the framework of Islamic beliefs and values (Seward & Khan, 2016). This study evaluated the effectiveness of a faith-based sexuality education online intervention in increasing Muslim parent's PCSC intentions and frequency with their children and teenagers.
Research methods and findings will be shared within the research session.

Title Stigma, Disability, Sexuality: Using Language and Values Clarification to Enhance Your Practice
Code 117
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities are often left out of sexuality education due to caregivers, parents, and professionals restricting access to education and sexual expression, and prevailing ableist views on how sexuality should be experienced. Relational Frame Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provide avenues to address the harmful biases and stigmas associated with individual and group-based learning. Presenters will discuss original research that can change individual bias and values driven inclusionary efforts that expand access for this population.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Assess and integrate strategies that allow for inclusivity of disabilities, both on an individual level and organization level.| | |
Prerequisite Meg is a PhD student at The Chicago School in Behavior Analysis, who has been an advocate, sibling, and supporter of the disability community for all of their life. They are focused on improving accessibility of sexuality education, working with individuals, parents, guardians, and support staff to address the need for sexuality education for all. Their current research highlights one small path to, at least temporarily, improve the perceptions of sexuality and disability.
Christy is the owner of New Moonrise Therapies, LLC and holds multiple degrees and certificates. As a queer disabled woman, she is passionate about access for all, and challenging the systems that deny access on many levels. Christy is a co-host on the Disability Tangent Podcast, a newly formed podcast focused on all things disability, from education to sex, to therapy, to technology, which focuses on fostering collaborative efforts of community organizations, people, and systems.
The World Health Organization has declared that sexuality education is a basic human right for all individuals. Individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities (IDD) are often left out of sexuality education (Gomez, 2012; Stein et al., 2017; Campbell, 2017).As a part of the audience participation, the Attitudes Toward Sexuality of Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ASEXID) questionnaire will be included for audience participation. Developed by Gil Lario and colleagues (2021), the ASEXID questionnaire assesses individuals' attitudes and beliefs towards individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Presenters will review the assessment tool, and describe its usefulness for individual practitioners to develop their competencies and need for consultation when supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The research conducted by Meg will be reviewed. This will include a data share from a pilot study from November 2023 - December 2023, that analyzes the effectiveness of Relational Frame Theory (RFT) principles and procedures at changing the stigma associated with sexuality and disability. A brief overview of (RFT) will be provided, along with the procedures, results from the study, and applications of the work.
Then, Christy will share a brief overview of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), focusing on a few components of ACT, followed by a translation from current AASECT positions to align with the potential values that clinicians, therapists, and educators could include in their practice as it relates to sexuality and disability. Understanding perspective taking skills, as defined by ACT, audience members will have the opportunity to adapt and incorporate the more values-consistent behaviors that promote accessibility to sexual education, counseling and therapies for individuals with intellectual, development, physical, and invisible disabilities

Currently a PhD Student at Texas Woman’s University (Marriage and Family Therapy)
Completed Graduate Certificate Program Sexual Health Certificate at The University of Michigan
I specialize in working with Perinatal Mental Health specifically, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as general adjustments to parenthood. I work with relationships (traditional and non-traditional) that are hoping to build a stronger foundation in their relationship. I am a passionate advocate for supporting individuals and/or couples who are hoping to explore and nurture their relationship with sexuality. I believe knowledge is power when it comes to your relationship with your sexual self and partnership(s).
I have a background in working with individuals and couples who are hoping to build their families and struggling with fertility, adoption, and/or different roads to parenthood. I offer reproductive clinical support to couples who are exploring their options of using donor gametes (donated sperm or eggs). I also perform evaluations for prospective gestational carriers. I enjoy the opportunity to support the relational dynamic of intended parents and gestational carrier. I am clinically trained by The American Society of Reproductive Medicine and follow the best practice requirements of the organization.

Title Fireside Chat - Reimagining Menopause and Beyond: A Journey of Empowerment and Clarity
Code 120
Type Fireside Chat
Topic
Presenters
Description For generations, menopause has been shrouded in negative stereotypes, misconceptions, and societal false beliefs. These biases, deeply embedded in our collective psyche, have detrimentally influenced how women perceive, approach, and experience this transformative life stage. The misconceptions have further impacted sexual well-being, intimacy, and overall quality of life for many. This talk aims to debunk myths surrounding menopause, reinvent its narrative, and highlight its potential as an empowering, vibrant phase of life, free from ageism and societal biases.
Intended Audience: Counselors, Therapists, Medical Professionals
Objective Understand and reframe 5 common but unhelpful menopausal and midlide narratives, and be an agent for positive change in the perception of menopause. |Identify methods to support women emotionally and physically through perimenopausal and menopausal transitions, including a) assisting clients in reframing this time as a time of increased power and purpose, and b) assisting clients in stepping into their current sexual authenticity |Identify the most common physical challenges to sexual pleasure in women and men in menopause and andropause, and will have a guide to commonly available solutions.|
Prerequisite Abstract:
Reimagining Menopause and Beyond: A Journey of Empowerment and Clarity
Background:
For generations, menopause has been shrouded in negative stereotypes, misconceptions, and societal false beliefs. These biases, deeply embedded in our collective psyche, have detrimentally influenced how women perceive, approach, and experience this transformative life stage. The misconceptions have further impacted sexual well-being, intimacy, and overall quality of life for many.
Objective:
This talk aims to debunk myths surrounding menopause, reinvent its narrative, and highlight its potential as an empowering, vibrant phase of life, free from ageism and societal biases.
Discussion Points:
Historical and Cultural Lens: A brief examination of how various cultures and epochs have viewed and portrayed menopause, underlining its evolution from reverence to taboo.
The Science Behind the Symptoms: Demystifying the physiological changes occurring during menopause and dispelling the myths surrounding them. Emphasizing the naturalness of the process and its significance in the continuum of women's health.
Sexuality and Intimacy: Highlighting the importance of understanding, adapting, and flourishing during this phase in the context of sexual health and relationships. Breaking the silence around post-menopausal sexuality.
Empowerment and Self-Actualization: Reimagining menopause as a period of self-awareness, growth, and redefinition. Encouraging women to harness this period for self-discovery, exploration, and fulfillment.
Role of AASECT: How sex educators, counselors, and therapists can lead the way in reshaping narratives, offering evidence-based information, and advocating for positive change in society's perception of menopause.
Conclusion:
Menopause, far from being a decline or an end, can be an invitation to a new chapter filled with growth, understanding, and rejuvenation. By challenging societal misconceptions and providing accurate, empowering information, we can guide women and their partners to embrace this stage with confidence, positivity, and enthusiasm. Through collective efforts, we can create a world where menopause and beyond is recognized as a time alive with potential, free from biases, and clear of unfounded fears.

Title Can You Keep a Secret? : Ethics of Secrets Policies and STD/STI Disclosure for Relational Therapists
Code 422
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This poster presentation presents an ethical decision-making model and guidelines for creating a secrets policy to address potential STD/STI disclosure in intimate relational therapy. We will explore the ethical nuances that address the AASECT Code of Conduct, the AAMFT Code of Ethics, HIPAA standards, and STD/STI stigma. Our aim is to help relational therapists include such insights into their own development of a secret policy for when couples disclose STD/STI health information.
Objective Apply a model for ethical decision-making and secrets policy creation that addresses potential disclosure of STDs/STIs within|Discuss how disclosure of STDs/STIs within relational therapy may impact client safety, client confidentiality, and therapeut| |
Prerequisite Whether or not to keep secrets within intimate partner therapy is a sensitive subject that can complicate treatment and the therapeutic alliance. Many relational therapists approach cases with their personal policy regarding secrets that may be disclosed when meeting with partners individually. These policies state what information a therapist is or is not willing to keep confidential between partners and steps for disclosure or termination if the therapist's position is compromised. Common issues addressed in these policies include ongoing infidelity or major financial secrets–topics that may directly affect the therapeutic alliance or the wellbeing of the other partner. What might a therapist do if the secret pertains to private health information that may threaten the health or safety of the other partner, specifically, the disclosure of an STD or STI? Safety, confidentiality, informed consent, and ethical and legal guidelines are all challenged with this particular disclosure, applying pressure for therapists to explore their own options on how to ethically go about creating a secrets policy to fit this type of secret disclosure. Oftentimes therapists are encouraged to develop their own secrets policies for their own practice, but such policies are never required within therapeutic practices, and are typically developed based on the therapist's own preferences for their therapeutic practice. Currently, the literature addressing this form of secret disclosure within relational therapy is very limited, as is literature addressing STDs and STIs with intimate partners in a therapeutic setting. This study will review the AASECT Code of Conduct and AAMFT Code of Ethics, philosophical approaches, HIPAA guidelines, and recent literature to further examine the decision-making process for developing a secret policy addressing STD/STI disclosure. Our research will aim to better understand how decisions about a secret policy for STDs/STIs in couples therapy can be developed and structured for therapeutic practice. We will also create helpful guidelines for how therapists can undergo making their own decisions that can best fit their therapeutic practice, minimize potential harms for the clients, and align with the AASECT and AAMFT ethical guidelines. This poster presentation will present a decision-making model and provide resources for therapists to develop their own secrets policy addressing sexual health and informed consent in intimate relationship cases.

Code 419
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description We constantly battle heteronormativity, colonial notions of sexuality, gender politics and reproductive autonomy. This presentation delves into the hidden world of genetics, neuroscience and medicine. We shall be discussing 11 sex chromosomal compositions that we know of today, presented alongside brain imaging studies of hypothalamic areas (BNST and SDN-POA/INAH 3 Cluster) that recognize gender change in an individual. Neural bases of monogamous and non-monogamous behaviors and advanced medical research into in-vitro gametogenesis and parthenogeneis, shall also be presented.
Objective To generate an understanding of the importance of the limbic system with respect to sex. |To be able to elucidate the development of new technologies in ART|To identify and characterize several brain areas responsible for gender identity and sexual partner preference.|
Prerequisite Gender as a social construct. Interactions of genes, chromosomes, hormones, internal sex organs and external secondary sexual characteristics with the environment: the roles individuals are conditioned to play, the roles they'd like to play, how they are socialized, stereotypes and sexism they have been exposed to, and even religion and faith based systems they are surrounded by contribute to the development of the gender complex. Sex is also non-binary. The chromosomal combinations accounted for thus far include 46 XX, 46 XY, 45X, 47XXY, 47XYY, 47XXX, 48XXXX, 48XXXY, 48XXYY, 49XXXXX, 49XXXXY.
Furthermore, our brain acknowledges gender change irrespective of whether or not an individual has gone through HRT or gender-affirming surgery. The size of the bed nucleus stria terminalis (BNST) was initially recorded in 2 different ranges within the binary: the males had a larger BNST in comparison to the females. However, in 2004, a remarkable study done by Swaab indicated that the brain wasn't subjected to changes due to testosterone/estrogen treatment but however was influenced by a person's perception of their gender.
In 1991, LeVay introduced us to the Sexually Dimorphic Nucleus which was documented to play a role in sexual partner preference. This study was later replicated in 2008 by Swaab to indicate that individuals attracted to females had a larger SDN-POA while those attracted to males had a smaller one.
With respect to pair-bonded behaviors, humans seem to have both the monogamous and the non-monogamous gene for a Vasopressin receptor. The positioning of this receptor on Dopamine neurons (D1 & D2) determines the behavioral expression of an individual in a relationship. As our brain is plastic, we are constantly changing our behavioral expressions.
This presentation provides us with the necessary knowledge for challenging amatonormativity.

Prerequisite The content of the presentation will be our clinical experience using testosterone in midlife women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) after starting a menopause center. Within the gynecology department, we started a menopause center in April 2021 treating perimenopausal and menopausal women with a variety of symptoms including vasomotor symptoms, urogenital symptoms, and decreased libido. These symptoms often impact each other as the fatigue from frequent night wakening and dyspareunia can both affect libido.
Prior to recommending testosterone for decreased libido, we assessed for possible contributing factors such as fatigue, sexual pain, depression, medications and relationship concerns. We attempted to decrease fatigue and pain prior to initiating testosterone therapy. Vasomotor symptoms can be managed with expectant management, hormone therapy or non-hormonal medications. Urogenital symptoms can be treated with a variety of vaginal estrogen products (tablets, creams, suppositories, rings) or with an oral medication (Osphena).
For women with depression or relationship concerns, we referred them to appropriate resources. For women on medications that can cause a decrease in libido, we discussed changing medications, if this was clinically appropriate.
In addition, for women with persistent HSDD despite good control of contributing factors, we discussed the option of testosterone supplementation. Because there is no form of testosterone approved by the FDA for women, a compounded testosterone was prescribed. Baseline labs were obtained with a testosterone level, liver function tests and a lipid panel. One month after beginning testosterone, a follow up visit occurred to assess if the patient chose to continue using testosterone, for clinical improvement and testosterone level. Six months after beginning testosterone, labs were obtained with a testosterone level, liver function tests and a lipid panel.
We will review the the effects of testosterone in midlife women with HSDD in terms of clinical improvement, serological changes in testosterone levels and impacts upon liver testing.

Title Let’s Talk About Feelings: Addressing Male Normative Alexithymia in Men with Sexual Dysfunction
Code 246
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Alexithymia, or the inability to label emotions with words, negatively impacts sexual functioning. The proposed program is a therapeutic group for men in couples therapy designed to address male normative alexithymia and provide EQ skills training. The program also serves as a tool to aid sex therapists working with men who struggle with these issues. Emotional identification, connection, and expression are central to sexual satisfaction; this program will ultimately contribute to improved therapeutic outcomes and aid in treating sexual dysfunction and enhancing sexual well-being in men.
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the relationship between male normative alexithymia| | |
Prerequisite Male normative alexithymia refers to men in nonclinical populations who have difficulty identifying and labeling their emotions, which contributes significantly to underdeveloped emotional intelligence (EQ). An inability to accurately identify emotions can result in communication difficulties, which jeopardizes relational and sexual satisfaction. A large body of evidence has identified a link between alexithymia and sexual dysfunction. Researchers have found higher incidences of alexithymia among patients with lifelong erectile dysfunction (ED) and a positive correlation between alexithymia and symptom severity among patients with acquired ED, suggesting that alexithymia is related to both the origin and symptom manifestation of ED. Similar results were found among men who struggle with premature ejaculation (PE), suggesting that addressing alexithymia may be a key component of treatment. Further, examining alexithymia among individuals at an outpatient clinic for sexual disorders showed that rates of alexithymia were higher in men than women, and alexithymia was commonly observed among men with sexual disorders. These findings highlight the emotional dimension of human sexuality and, specifically, the importance of feeling and communicating emotions with regard to sexual satisfaction.
There is a need for a structured program designed to address alexithymia in men, given its negative impact on relational and sexual functioning. The development of EQ skills is imperative for the success of long-term sexual relationships. While emotion-focused couples therapy (EFTC) is an empirically supported modality that can address these concerns, men with under-developed EQs who struggle to express and communicate their emotions may struggle to engage in it. As such, this program is designed to be used alongside couples therapy to provide additional psychoeducation, support, and EQ skills training for men.
The program will help men struggling with alexithymia, as well as couples therapists and sex therapists. The program's structure allows men to better understand their emotions through psychoeducation and skill-building exercises, which in turn heightens EQ. This will augment the work being done by couples therapists, specifically those utilizing the EFTC modality. As men develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and those of their partners, couples therapists can spend less time providing psychoeducation and can instead focus on integrating the newly developed skills into their couples' work to address the presenting concerns. Given the link between alexithymia and sexual dysfunction, this program also serves as a tool to aid sex educators working with men who struggle with these issues. Emotional identification, connection, and expression are central to sexual satisfaction; therefore, the program is a supplemental tool for treating sexual dysfunction and enhancing sexual well-being in men.

Title Menses, Contraception, & Preventive Screenings Among Women with SCI: A Thematic Literature Review
Code 401
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Disability stigma affects reproductive health access and bodily autonomy for women with spinal cord injuries (SCI). An area underexplored is menstrual well-being, contraception, and preventive screenings. A review of 21 articles showed 67% focused on at least one concept, revealing variability in health experiences among this population. Barriers include clinician biases, inaccessible infrastructure, and financial obstacles. More research needs to focus on the unique reproductive health challenges faced by women across the lifespan post-injury to improve healthcare equity and quality.
Objective By the end of this session, attendees will gain insights into the unique menstrual difficulties, contraceptive options, and p| | |
Prerequisite While existing research shows that women with spinal cord injuries (SCI) can regain reproductive functions post-injury, there is a gap in scholarly work focusing on their ability to access and navigate reproductive health services. This thematic literature review aims to collate, synthesize, and evaluate the impact of SCI on women's reproductive health, specifically menstrual well-being, contraceptive care, and preventive health screenings. The review highlights environmental obstacles that compromise access to quality care to guide the development of interventions aimed at enhancing menstrual health, expanding contraceptive awareness, and promoting routine health screenings.
A search of five databases including PubMed, EBSCO, PsychInfo, ProQuest Central, and Google Scholar using the terms "physical disability," "spinal cord injury," "women's health," "reproductive health," "menstruation," and "contraception" was conducted. Studies published from 1966 to 2022 in English featuring women 18+ were considered. The researcher synthesized the information from eligible studies both descriptively and thematically. Twenty-one articles met inclusion criteria: 14 quantitative, 4 qualitative, and 3 mixed-methods studies.
Majority of research was conducted in high-income, Western countries, and explored reproductive health for women with various physical disabilities and SCI. Three overarching themes were identified: (1) Menstruation (M), (2) Contraception (C), and (3) Preventive Screenings (PS). Of the 21 articles analyzed, 67% addressed one theme (M=33%, C=24%, PS=10%), 24% addressed two themes (M&C=5%, M&PS=19%, C&PS=0%), and only 10% discussed all three themes.
In the articles focused on Menstruation, four subthemes were identified: 100% discussed variability in menstrual health (1a), 50% covered period management (1b), 30% examined healthcare provider (HCP)-derived barriers (1c), and 10% explored attitudes towards amenorrhea and menstruation (1d). Of the articles centered on Contraception, four subthemes emerged: 75% discussed contraception management (2a), 58% identified HCP-derived barriers to contraceptive use (2b), 33% highlighted infrastructure-derived barriers (2c), and 25% addressed financial obstacles (2d). Two subthemes emerged from Preventive Screenings: 38% identified HCP-derived barriers to preventive screenings (3a) and 50% infrastructure-derived barriers (3b).
This thematic analysis connects reproductive health and contraceptive care for women with SCI. The field requires nuanced investigations, emphasizing menstrual experiences and access to contraception across the lifespan post-injury. This would provide greater clarity of the particular challenges and needs faced by women with SCI, informing the development of targeted interventions, policies to alleviate financial obstacles to care, specialized HCP training, and access to educational resources and therapeutic aids that can improve healthcare equity and quality for this population.

Title Obstetric Violence: The Impact of Westernized Medicine on Pregnant People
Code 151
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the historical and contemporary impacts of obstetric violence (OV), emphasizing the ways in which gendered violence perpetuated against birthing people by medical professionals negatively impacts physical and mental health. It is important to highlight the ways in which systemic oppression and discrimination within the medical field work to disenfranchise individuals with marginalized identities. Further, understanding the negative impacts of Westernized and medicalized birthing practices cultivates an understanding of why OV is so devastating.
Objective At the conclusion of this poster presentation, participants will demonstrate an ability to recognize obstetric violence and i| | |
Prerequisite This poster addresses the enduring effects of obstetric violence (OV) on pregnant and birthing people. Though it lacks a single, unified definition, OV is understood as violence- be it physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, psychological, etc.- perpetuated against birthing bodies pre-, peri-, and/or postpartum. Several studies have been conducted on the reasons behind and effects of OV, particularly since its criminalization in Venezuela in 2007 and its condemnation by the World Health Organization in 2015. These studies have taken sociological, psychological, anthropological, and philosophical approaches to exploring OV, and this presentation offers a review of much of that research. OV takes many forms, has long lasting, negative effects on survivors' mental health and well-being, and has become more problematic since the Westernization of medicine, the birthing process in particular. Some examples of OV may include, but are not limited to: nonconsensual medical procedures such as C-sections, episiotomies, and the "husband stitch," forced birthing positions, birth rape and sexual violations during labor, restricted access to vaginal birth after cesarean (VBACs), anti-abortion laws and sentiment, verbal attacks for noncompliance, medical paternalism, stigma and discrimination of the birthing body, lack of or denial of privacy, and the forced passivity of birthing people. Experiences of OV are associated with increased medical complications during childbirth, increased rates of PTSD, depression, and anxiety postpartum, increased maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as increased neonatal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Keeping in mind that those with minority identities and those with multiple, intersecting marginalized identities are at a greater risk of experiencing OV, interest in OV has grown since it has been recognized as an issue experienced by White women. In any case, it is essential to understand why OV persists. Feminist theorists suggest that this enduring form of gendered violence has roots in misogyny and Westernized, patriarchal societies. Looking at OV through the lens of medicalized birth, it has been proposed that midwifery, which emphasizes the relational aspects of birth and the autonomy of both mother and baby, helps to ameliorate experiences of birth-related violence. When obstetrics was medicalized during the Industrial Revolution, however, and cisgender men took over the newly organized world of medicine, patient-physician relationships suffered, became less personal, and reinforced power dynamics between men and women that already existed in society. By better understanding the causes of OV, we can seek access points through which to dismantle it. By better understanding the effects of OV, we can seek avenues through which to incite change. Implementing programs in medical facilities to educate doctors on OV and reemphasizing midwifery have been offered as possible solutions in reducing OV worldwide.

Biography
Morgan Watkins (She/They) is a second-year doctoral student in the Clinical PsyD program at The Chicago School. Morgan was drawn to the field of mental health after recognizing the trauma that systems of oppression inflict upon the LGBTQIA+ community. From this realization, Morgan recognized a lack of mental health services that provide queer affirming and sex positive care. Morgan is interested in working with the queer community by promoting inclusive sexual justice, health, equality, and education. Morgan strives to identify and dismantle oppressive systems that perpetuate discrimination, prejudice, violence, ignorance, and hatred, and they seek to grow a knowledgebase that will allow them to provide comprehensive, exhaustive, and culturally competent care. In aspiring toward a more progressive and inclusive world that celebrates the natural diversity of humankind, they seek to uplift historically silenced voices in order to bring attention to inequity and inequality.

Prerequisite This presentation delves deeply into the clinical applications of Psychedelic-Assisted Sex Therapy (PAST), a nascent yet promising therapeutic model. While the presentation touches on the historical and scientific foundations of both psychedelics and sex therapy, its core focus remains on the tangible and practical clinical intersections between them.
It outlines the pharmacology of key psychedelic substances such as MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD, mapping their neurochemical effects on the brain. This sets the stage for understanding how these substances could play a role in addressing a range of sexual dysfunctions and traumas. The content examines modern sex therapy techniques and interventions, identifying places where psychedelics may augment or revolutionize existing treatment paradigms.
The presentation dives into the neurochemical interplay between psychedelic experiences and sexual function, emphasizing how neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin could be manipulated to facilitate better sexual health from a psychedelic-assisted model. It further addresses how psychedelics can contribute to emotional breakthroughs, opening new pathways to intimacy and helping to navigate relational complexities.
A section of the presentation is devoted to the practicalities of PAST, featuring various therapeutic models such as psychodynamic, humanistic, and trauma-informed approaches. Safety protocols and ethical considerations take center stage, discussing the essential requirements for medical pre-screening, informed consent, and crisis management. Topics like vulnerability to exploitation and medical contraindications are candidly addressed to offer a holistic view of the risks and challenges involved in PAST.
The purpose of this presentation is not only to foster a deeper understanding of the potentialities in combining psychedelics with sex therapy but also to ignite discussions around responsible clinical practice. It aims to equip clinicians, researchers, and enthusiasts alike with a structured understanding of this emerging field, opening the door for further research and therapeutic possibilities.

Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The proposed poster presentation will seek to provide therapists with an overview of how to conceptualize incest trauma within the framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS). In this visually engaging and informative display, we will explore the complexities of incest trauma through the lens of IFS and offer insights into therapeutic approaches that can facilitate healing and growth. We will include four fictional case studies, each representing a distinct aspect of incest trauma, including varying family dynamics and individual experiences.
Objective Participants will learn how IFS views the human psyche as a system of subpersonalities, offering a holistic perspective on tr| | |
Prerequisite Survivors of childhood sexual abuse, particularly incest, have higher rates of dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and betrayal trauma (Morrison et al., 2018). Worldwide incidence of all types of incest range from 5% to 62% (Stroebel et al., 2012). This proposed poster presentation will provide therapists with a comprehensive understanding of how to conceptualize incest trauma within the framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This poster will delve into practical therapeutic approaches and techniques that can be applied to support clients in their journey toward healing from incest trauma. We will highlight the importance of self-compassion, inner exploration, and the development of a safe, nurturing internal environment. We will also discuss ethical responsibilities and boundaries that therapists must uphold when working with clients who have experienced incest trauma. Using Internal Family Systems theory an analysis of the various aspects of incest trauma will be explored through parts work with clients and will be applied through 4 fictional case studies.

Title LMFT Intern
Biography
As a cisgender white woman living in the U.S. I hold incredible privilege in a society still marked by systemic racism and transphobia. Because of these societal barriers, it can be difficult to claim some of my own identities as marginalized such as being neurodivergent and bisexual. At the age of 37, I am also a widow and therefore main breadwinner for my stepson. However, I cannot ignore how these parts of my identity influence my experience in the world. As these identities are often invisible, I know the unique feeling of never quite fitting into the boxes provided. This greatly impacts my perspective on people and systems, allowing me to find comfort and liberation in embracing nuance. Paired with this awareness, I am continually motivated to learn about the nuances of marginalized communities so that I can ethically use my power and experience to create change.
Currently, I am a LMFT Intern at Relationship Reality 312 where I mainly work with couples who have experienced infidelity and individuals with CPTSD. I am a graduate student at Purdue Northwest and anticipate graduating December 2024. I also work as an adjunct professor of psychology at Ivy Tech Community College where I teach undergraduate courses in Abnormal Psychology and Human Sexuality. Previously, I graduated from Texas A&M - Kingsville with a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings including substance abuse, inpatient psychiatric care, and community health.

Title Understanding Older Homeless Adults Sexual Expression and Behavior in Homeless Shelter Settings
Code 131
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The aim of this qualitative systematic review is to synthesize the literature exploring the experiences of older homeless adults' sexual expression and behavior in homeless shelter settings, while also analyzing the perspectives of homeless shelter workers on practices that promote sexual health well-being. Practitioners need to be aware of the unique sexual health needs of older homeless adults living in shelter settings when providing care. Shelter policy and clinical practices relating to older homeless adults' sexuality are discussed.
Objective At the conclusion of this poster session, participants will be able to identify four themes pertaining to older homeless adul| | |
Prerequisite Aims and Objectives: The aim of this qualitative systematic review is to synthesize the literature exploring the experiences of older homeless adults' sexual expression and behavior in homeless shelter settings, while also analyzing the perspectives of homeless shelter workers on practices that promote sexual health well-being.
Background: Aging, homelessness, and sexuality are now intersecting fields of study as major cities witness increasingly older adults living in homeless shelters around the United States. Despite this, much of the existing literature either examines sexual risk behaviors among homeless youth, drug users, and adults with severe mental illness or solely focuses on older adults' sexual expression in aged care settings (e.g., nursing homes, assisted living, adult daycares). Within the homeless population, there exists a higher prevalence of functional and cognitive impairment, co-occurring behavioral and medical health problems, and premature mortality at an earlier age than in the general population. As such, this review will consider homeless older adults to be those who are 50 years and older.
Methods: A search of relevant electronic databases was carried out and included articles published between August 2013 and August 2023. Included studies specifically address the homeless experiences of older adults and/or shelter worker perspectives. The systematic review was conducted in accordance with the 'SPIDER' search tool and PRISMA checklist. A quality assessment instrument was used to review all the selected papers and for narrative methods utilized in the synthesis of the research evidence.
Results: The search resulted in 245 papers, and after applying distinct inclusion criteria, a total of 10 papers were considered suitable for the systematic review. Following analysis, the four main themes identified among older homeless adult narratives were pleasure and intimacy to mitigate loneliness; sexual risks and vulnerability; mental health issues and substance use; and intersecting markers of age, gender, and sexuality. The main theme among shelter workers was lack of support to combat oppressive social practices regarding sexuality and sexual expression.
Conclusion: Homelessness among older adults is a growing concern that has significant consequences for later life physical, psychosocial, and sexual well-being. Shelter settings are commonly used by older homeless adults and can be an important resource in addressing sexual health needs.
Relevance to clinical practice: Practitioners need to be aware of the unique sexual health needs of older homeless adults living in shelter settings when providing care. Shelter policy and clinical practices for working with older homeless adults are discussed.

Title Which Way Do You Swing?: The Intersection of Lindy Hop and Sex Therapy
Code 366
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This presentation explores how lindy hop, a partnered swing dance, can be utilized in both individuals' and couples' sex therapy treatment as an intervention to explore gender, sexuality, trust, physical touch, and somatics. Because swing is a partnered dance with two different roles ("lead" and "follow"), participants can explore how the physical mechanics of the dance differ according to which role they prefer. This presentation also includes original ethnographic, interview, and survey data detailing the role that gender, sexuality, and queerness play in lindy hop.
Objective Analyze the applicability of lindy hop as a sex therapy intervention. |Integrate research on lindy hop, somatics, and sex therapy interventions. |Demonstrate how lindy hop can be utilized as a treatment tool for both individual and relational cases. |
Prerequisite The lindy hop is an American dance born in Harlem in the late 1920s, later growing in popularity as a type of swing dance throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Originating in the Black American community in Harlem, lindy hop rose in popularity to the point that it is now widely considered the American folk dance. (Note: Throughout this presentation, I use the terms "swing dance" and "lindy hop" interchangeably. "Swing" refers to both the off-beat nature of the music as well as the momentum with which partners are swung around the dance floor.)
There are two roles in a swing dancing partnership: the lead and the follow. The lead is historically the role enacted by men, while the follow is historically enacted by women. However, today's lindy hop community now refers to each role by its title, rather than "men" and "women," as it is encouraged to dance whatever role one prefers, regardless of gender. The lead's job is to initiate and suggest moves via physical cues on the follow's body, and it is the follow's job to feel these cues and follow through with the maneuver. As a result, dancing the lindy hop requires constant physical contact and trust in one another. Because of the gender-progressive nature of lindy hop, many people dance the role they feel aligns most with their identity. This is influenced by two factors: one may dance according to their gender identity (lead for masculinity, follow for feminity, or both someone between or outside the binary), or one might dance according to their sexual preferences of being dominant versus submissive (lead for dominance, follow for submissiveness, or both for switch). The physical mechanics of lindy hop are also more accessible for those who may be approaching it through the lens of sex therapy. Dancers make physical contact by holding hands and placing the other hand on one another's shoulders, while other styles of partnered dances tend to involve close-together torsos and the placement of hands on the waist or hips. As a result, lindy hop poses itself as an effective method of exploring both gender and sexuality in a generally non-sexual context.
With all of this in mind, I propose that lindy hop be implemented as an intervention to explore physical touch, trust, communication, gender roles, and sexual preferences. Due to its relatively "unsexy" nature, lindy hop provides the perfect opportunity for both individuals and couples to explore physical touch, gender, sexuality, and intimacy in a controlled setting outside of an overtly sensual or sexual context. Additionally, the utilization of dance includes the added benefit of vagus nerve stimulation. Participants of lindy hop report feeling more secure in their bodies, more comfortable with physical touch, and more affirmed in their gender identity and sexuality. In combination with sex therapy, lindy hop provides an on-the-ground but still experimental means for clients to explore any of these topics as they relate to their treatment plans.

Title Sexuality Educator
Biography
As an older adult, Dr. Jane Fleishman loves talking about sex with just about anyone and, in particular, other older adults and the professionals who work with them. She is on a mission and provides training to promote the sexual well-being of older adults in continuing care communities.
Jane has conducted research on the sexuality of older adults in same-sex relationships and has written a book about LGBTQ elders’ who came of age at the time of Stonewall.
She loves teaching, writing, and answering questions about sex. That’s why she loves being a co-host of this podcast. In her mind, she thinks of herself as a bit of a local media mogul with a column, Sexuality and Aging in the Daily Hampshire Gazette and is a regular guest on WHMP, her local independent radio station.
In her 60s, Jane received a Master’s in Education and a Ph.D in Human Sexuality from Widener University. She’s been a lifelong activist and as she gets older she likes mentoring younger people taking leadership roles in social and political movements.

Title Advancing Inclusion of Transgender and Gender Diverse Identities in Clinical Education
Code 230
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The panel presentation will describe the creation and utilization of an accessible and engaging resource written with clinical educators and transgender advocates, called Advancing Inclusion of Transgender and Gender Diverse Identities in Clinical Education: A Toolkit for Clinical Educators. The panel will include the authors discussing the best practices, application of best practices to interprofessional clinical education, and lessons learned together as co-educators.
Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Supervisors
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to utilize the toolkit for use in their educational settings.| | |
Prerequisite To guide clinical educators, we created an accessible and engaging resource written with transgender advocates, called Advancing Inclusion of Transgender and Gender Diverse Identities in Clinical Education: A Toolkit for Clinical Educators. The toolkit facilitates a critical inquiry for educators regarding their approach to teaching about sex, gender, the historical and sociopolitical context of transgender health, and how to prepare their students to apply standards of care and clinical care guidelines to everyday practice. The Toolkit was developed by transgender advocates and an interprofessional collaborative of researchers, clinicians, and clinical educators whose work centers on promoting the health and well-being of the transgender community. It is publicly and freely available: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/suppl/10.1177/15248399231
We sought to capture the diversity within the transgender and gender diverse community through our mix of authors, though we recognize certain perspectives were not captured, including those of certain racial and ethnic groups, older adults, and those residing in different regions of the country. The toolkit was designed and illustrated by a queer artist who specializes in joyful, inclusive imagery. The illustrations aim to convey inclusion with respect to gender, race, ethnicity, ability, and body size when depicting patients, healthcare providers, and students (i.e., page 17), as well as humility and patient-centeredness, such as the illustration where the healthcare provider is depicted below the patient with warm and open body language (page 4). Other illustrations capture the written content through symbolism, such as the knitted lines of the transgender flag to express the tensions and complexities of working with students who express resistance to learning (page 19).
The key features of the toolkit are: 1) A robust literature review of existing transgender health educational interventions; 2) A vision for what excellent transgender healthcare can look like; 3) Seven pragmatic strategies for clinical educators to consider; 4) Touchpoints for sample curricula in medicine, psychotherapy and counseling, and nutrition and dietetics; 5) Considerations for simulation-based learning and tensions about who should play transgender and gender diverse patients; 6) Working with students who express resistance to learning about transgender health; and 7) Additional resources for all health professions.
This presentation will describe the development of the toolkit including current research on the healthcare needs of transgender and gender diverse clients, review key features of the toolkit, and then facilitate a panel discussion on its application to interprofessional clinical education at Saint Louis University. Authors - include clinical faculty and transgender co-educators and advocates - will take part in an engaging discussion about lessons learned over the past 3 years of collaboration.

Biography
Willow Rosen (they/them/theirs) is a white, nonbinary, queer educator and consultant. Over the last decade or so Mx. Willow's work has focused on equity and change for transgender and queer clients throughout their reproductive lives.
Their work began at a micro level working directly with clients as a doula, childbirth educator and patient advocate. From that vantage point it became quite evident that while supporting each client was important work, there were larger issues to tackle. What work could be done related to the systems that continued acting as a barrier to the fair and equitable treatment that all folks deserve?
With that question in mind they focused on training the providers and coaching the healthcare facilities that were offering a range of reproductive services from abortion to infertility support and everything in between. Working directly with their community remained a priority for Mx. Willow leading them to create a transgender-specific sexual health curricula, by and for the community.
They are excited to continue offering education to the gender expansive community as well as working with those interfacing with this population.

Title Give Me Liberty and Leave Me Bred: The Sexual and Reproductive Reality of Breeding Kinks Post-Dobbs
Code 157
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Our team conducted an online mixed methods survey of the breeding kink community in the U.S. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impacts of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Cout decision and later state-based legislative changes concerning reproductive/sexual health policy changes as well as better understanding how policy may change sexual activity, sexual and reproductive health decision-making, and sexual pleasure in the breeding kink community.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will be able to describe recent research findings on those with breeding kinks and this communities experience post-Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Cout decision. | | |
Prerequisite In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating federal protections for abortion access nationwide. The Dobbs decision rapidly upended fifty years of legal precedent, health policy, and bodily autonomy for millions of people.
While it is well understood the many policy, health system, and community health impacts across the country post-Dobbs decision, very little is known about how health policy impacts the kink community and its subsets. Our goal with this study was to understand the impacts of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court decision on those with breeding kinks and breeding-related kinks (lactation, insemination, cream pies, etc). Additionally, this study explored the impacts on sexual pleasure, sexual activity, reproductive health decision making, and manifestation of participants breeding kinks in relationship to their state-based policies around abortion and contraception access. To do this, our team conducted an online mixed methods survey of the breeding kink community which was disseminated through social media platforms as well as through organizational partnerships.

Title Inclusive BIPOC LGBTQ+ and Kinky Sexual Health: Recommendations for Education, Training & Practice
Code 187
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This dialogue panel presentation will explore human sexuality training in psychology graduate programs, queer and trans kink and BDSM, and the relationship between racial capitalism and transformative justice. Presentations include faculty, student, and therapist perspectives. Facilitated discussion will center how therapists and educators can use decolonizing pedagogies to radically transform queer and trans sexual health care. Panelists and audience members will engage in dialogue on how best to improve culturally responsive sexual health care to reduce health disparities.
Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Supervisors
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to evaluate and integrate critical issues related to psychology graduate training in sexual health, kink affirming practice, racial capitalism, and transformative justice with the goal of providing culturally responsive sexual health care to BIPOC LGBTQ+ and kinky clients.| | |
Prerequisite Dr. Katie Spencer, a licensed psychologist with years of specialized work in comprehensive gender care and sex therapy with queer, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations, will facilitate a guided discussion across several timely topics impacting clinical care. Presentations will examine human sexuality training in psychology graduate programs, recommendations for inclusivity for kink in LGBTQ+ spaces, and the relationship between racial capitalism and transformative justice for BIPOC queer and trans communities.
Our first presentation will address the current state of sexuality training in psychology graduate programs, with a specific focus on queer and trans sexual health. Psychology graduate students rarely receive comprehensive sexuality education (Mollen et al., 2020), resulting in numerous harmful effects for clients, such as inaccurate pathologizing of healthy sexuality. These harms are often magnified for marginalized communities (Mollen & Abbott, 2022). Given some of the common barriers that psychology graduate programs face in providing comprehensive sexuality training, panelists will discuss how graduate programs can include human sexuality into curriculum and training requirements. Discussion will prioritize training needs, barriers, and potential solutions to increase competence in addressing queer and trans sexuality.
The second presentation will provide context on the historical dual marginalization that kinky LGBTQ+ clients face in kink-affirming spaces, queer and trans-affirming spaces, and within mental health settings (Speciale & Khambatta, 2020). Mental health practitioners lack training on both LGBTQ+ and kinky identities (Abbott et al., 2023). Within a research context, current literature on LGBTQ+ issues continues to center monogamous vanilla relationships (van Eeden-Moorefield et al., 2018). Likewise, research on kink largely focuses on cisgender, heterosexual individuals and roles (Tatum & Nierdermyer, 2021). Panelists will explore how these issues relate to graduate sexuality training and discuss how practitioners may better serve clients living at the intersection of these identities.
Our final presentation will explore practices that contribute to and promote health disparities for BIPOC, LGBQ+, and TGD communities. Using a transformative justice lens, topics will include racial capitalism (Koshy et al., 2022), colonial structures (Koshy et al., 2022), and exclusionary practices that fuel oppressive discourse limiting access to culturally-responsive care. This discussion will center intersectionality theory (Crenshaw, 1995) and transformative justice to empower attendees to critically examine how their work, the spaces they occupy, and the science they generate are informed by oppressive pedagogies. We will provide the audience with tools to examine their positionality and social locations, as well as their relationship to colonial resources, to foster change that promotes inclusivity and health equity.

Title Sex & Love Around the World: A Deep Dive Into Cultural Influences on Sexuality & Sexual Function
Code 407
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description While physical and psychological factors are heavily acknowledged and identified within the biopsychosocial approach to sex therapy, the influence of social and cultural factors often receives less attention in clinical settings. In reality, our cultural upbringing sets the tone for what we value in regard to sexual values, from beliefs regarding conventional sexual behavior and appropriate expression of sexuality to decisions we make regarding mate selection. This panel presentation analyzes how sociocultural factors may influence sexual development, sexual relationships, and sexual function.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will identify various ways that culture can impact one's sexual development, sexual relationships, and sexual function.|Participants will recognize best practices when working with clients of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds.| |
Prerequisite While physical and psychological factors are heavily acknowledged and identified within the biopsychosocial approach to sex therapy, the influence of social and cultural factors often receives less attention in clinical settings. In reality, our cultural upbringing sets the tone for what we value in regard to sexual values, from beliefs regarding conventional sexual behavior and appropriate expression of sexuality to decisions we make regarding mate selection. Because of this, it is imperative that educators and clinicians, whether in specialist or in general services, are aware of the role that culture plays in our most intimate lives. This panel presentation analyzes how sociocultural factors may influence sexual development, sexual relationships, and sexual function. By the end of the panel presentation, participants will have an in-depth understanding of how culture intersects with human sexuality and apply their knowledge when working with singles and couples of diverse backgrounds as a way to improve educational engagement and establish a strong therapeutic alliance.

Title Sexuality in Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Code 222
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Sexual health concerns often benefit from multidisciplinary treatment and care collaboration. This panel discussion will provide varied perspectives on common sexuality concerns from the lens of a medical doctor, a pelvic health physical therapist, a sex therapist, and a sexuality educator. We will discuss the ways we collaborate with colleagues to help individuals with a variety of sexual health concerns including challenges with erections and/or ejaculation, dyspareunia, vaginismus, libido concerns, anorgasmia, STI prevention and care, gender transition care and more.
Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Medical Professionals
Objective At the conclusion of the hour-long session, participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the role of each provider type of a multidisciplinary sexual medicine care team. | | |
Prerequisite Sexual health concerns often benefit from multidisciplinary treatment. Growing support in the research literature demonstrates how organized care teams are addressing the psychological and physiological aspects of sexual health. This panel discussion will provide varied perspectives on common sexuality concerns from the lens of a medical doctor, a pelvic health physical therapist, a sex therapist, and a sexuality educator. At times, even the most skilled individual provider would best support their patient/client with a collaborative medical team approach to avoid missing nuanced elements that may be key for successful treatment or identifying significant underlying health concerns. Comprehensive sexual medicine benefits from understanding provider roles and perspectives; whether working tightly in an interdisciplinary sexual medicine clinic, proximally in a multidisciplinary health system, or communally in a professional provider network.
The medical doctor will define sexual medicine as a field, describe the role of sexual medicine specialists in the evaluation and treatment of sexual concerns, and give examples of sexual concerns for which it may be useful to collaborate with a sexual medicine specialist. The sexuality educator will discuss the value of providing information to patients/clients about sexuality that can begin to address their concerns and provide a basis for further care, as outlined by the PLISSIT model of sex therapy. She will discuss the role of the sexuality educator and counselor in triaging and providing referrals. She will demonstrate how the educator and counselor works as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing ongoing support to the patient/client as well as to providers on the team. Our pelvic physical therapist will describe the scope of practice as it relates to sexual health including examples of treatment approach for anal dyspareunia, vaginismus, ejaculation control, and orthopedic impairments. Our sex therapist will discuss the role of specific modalities (CBT, etc.) and interventions (mindfulness, sensate focus, etc.) used in therapeutically resolving sexual health concerns. He will show how combining the medical, educational, and psychological are effective and should be an emphasized option moving forward for sexual health concerns.
The panel will explore healthcare disparities and challenges faced by marginalized communities. Sexual medicine practitioners are uniquely positioned in the healthcare system to serve as an open accepting safe place for patients/clients to disclose stigmatized identities and concerns. This may find practitioners in a position of harm reduction ethical decision making in clinical practice. By fostering dialogue and understanding, this panel aims to empower providers and the community to promote an environment where all individuals can access sexual medicine that understands their individual needs, addresses their bodily health, and celebrates their diverse identities.

Title ADHD: How to Ride the Dopamine Train
Code 113
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description As sex educators, counselors, and therapists we work with a variety of people, many of whom are neurodivergent. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of people and affects how a person focuses and what they focus on. How does ADHD affect interpersonal relationships? How does it affect sexual dynamics? How does ADHD disparage women and people of color in getting a proper diagnosis? This workshop will explore these questions and offer interventions and resources for clinicians, counselors, and educators to utilize.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Define ADHD
|Identify how diagnosis affects women/BIPOC folx|Identify two intervention strategies for navigating ADHD and sex |
Prerequisite As sex educators, therapists, and counselors, we work with a variety of people, many of whom are neurodivergent. ADHD affects people in a variety of ways, and in different ways. It is common for a person with ADHD to experience lack of impulse control, struggle with motivation, and have a lack of attention to detail. People with ADHD may have inadequate dopamine levels, directly affecting their experiences and how they navigate the world. These struggles can directly impact relationships and sexual intimacy. Some people with ADHD find they want more sexual intimacy because of the dopamine rush they get. However, other people fight the symptom "out of sight, out of mind" and experience a loss of libido related to sexual intimacy. How do two people with ADHD in a relationship navigate sexual dynamics? What about when one partner has ADHD and the other partner does not? In addition to these notable challenges, men are diagnosed at rates three higher than women. Research confirms a gender bias related to ADHD diagnosis. Research further confirms that white children are more likely to be diagnosed, and medicated, than Black children, and therefore as adults. What are we, as sexual health professionals, doing to help this disparity? This workshop will discuss the challenges of ADHD in sexual relationships and how lack of diagnosis perpetuates these issues.

Title Kink and Flourishing Study: Healing and Growth Through Kink Involvement
Code 263
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Presenters will share original research exploring the conditions for healing from past trauma and flourishing via kink involvement, as well as possible alignment of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) to those conditions. Participants will be invited to discuss clinical implications of the study's findings in small and large groups, and will leave knowing more about healing and flourishing with kink, about AEDP and how this clinical approach relates to kink, and with a fresh perspective in caring for kink-involved clients.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will be able to describe recent research findings on the frequency that people experience healing and/or flourishing through engagement in kink activities.
|Participants will be able to describe several factors that contribute to healing and flourishing among kink-involved people.
|Participants will be able to outline possible parallels between clinical applications of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and experiences of healing in kink scenes.
|
Prerequisite Kink is used as an umbrella term to address a wide range of sexual, erotic, pleasurable, fun, intimate, and/or self-expressive interests and behaviors. Kink includes many groups, identities, communities, and types of activities, including Leather, Fetish, BDSM, and more. Past research and anecdotal reports indicate people experience healing from past trauma via kink engagement, and that some kink-involved people intentionally use kink scenes to address past trauma. Many people engage in kink for the purpose of flourishing, growth, and wellbeing. However, little research has investigated the specific factors and mechanisms for kink-related healing or growth experiences. Several theories suggest these types of communication and interaction are important to revisiting and reframing past trauma experiences and are important components to healing past trauma. One such theory, AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), is utilized by the Kink and Flourishing Study to explore the roles of negotiation, meta-processing (especially debriefing), moment-to-moment tracking, attunement, attentiveness, responsiveness, and trust. The study also explores the influence of demographic characteristics, community belongingness and connection, attachment, types of kink activities, and types of past trauma to the experience of healing through kink. The Kink and Flourishing Study investigates these experiences of healing, and the conditions that lead to an outcome of healing, defined as recovery or growth after past harms/wounds/trauma. Through this study, our team explores healing from past psychological traumas in the context of a kink scene that is subjectively reported by participants as a healing experience; it also explores the incidence of healing (or lack thereof) among a broad population of kink-involved individuals. Furthermore, this study explores the role of kink involvement broadly as contributing to general wellbeing and/or post-traumatic growth. In this workshop our team will present our research findings, present the basics of AEDP theory and application, applications to care of kink-involved clients, and facilitate an interactive experience with the clinically-relevant materials.

Title Providing Compassionate Care to Abortion Care Workers
Code 252
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Abortion care providers (ACP) are subject to layers of stressors that negatively impact their mental health, including the emotional toll of their jobs, professional stigma, unprecedented legislative hurdles in a post-Roe world, and clinical site violence and protests. Scant scholarship appears to focus on the mental health needs of ACP. This session will include a discussion of the mental health needs of ACP based on our scoping review research. Recognizing and addressing these needs, allows us to better support the professionals who play a crucial role in reproductive healthcare.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to define ACPs and their related occupational stressors; learn the unique and often location-specific challenges ACPs face professionally, personally, and politically; and will effectively demonstrate knowledge regarding the mental health needs of ACPs and barriers within professional counseling. | | |
Prerequisite Abortion care providers (ACP) play critical roles in safeguarding reproductive rights and ensuring access to safe and legal abortion services. However, the emotional and psychological toll of this work is often overlooked (Fitzpatrick & Wilson, 1999; Mercier et al., 2015) and scarcely explored in the peer-reviewed literature. ACP are subject to stigma, harassment, and violence, which can lead to high levels of stress and trauma (Martin et al., 2018). The controversial nature of abortion adds a pernicious layer of emotional stress, with providers often encountering societal judgment and misunderstanding. The constant threat to personal safety and the emotional burden of supporting individuals during an already difficult decision-making process, places a substantial strain on the mental health of ACP (Medoff, 2018). These compounded stressors contribute to greater risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder diagnoses compared to the general population and even combat veterans (Fitzpatrick & Wilson, 1999; Martin et al., 2017).
Despite the dearth of research, the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) has made significant contributions in centering this issue through the National Clinic Access Project (NCAP). The NCAP is specifically aimed at measuring anti-abortion violence and harassment directed at clinics, patients, health care workers and volunteers in the United States. The most recent survey conducted in 2022 indicated that nearly a third of clinics (31%) had one or more incidents or threats of severe violence, while 32.6% of clinics experienced high levels of violence, threats of severe violence or severe harassment which is an increase of the 15% reported in 2018 (Feminist Majority Foundation, 2022). In line with these reports, the limited research indicates overwhelming negative attitudes toward abortion care providers, contributing to the heightened stress and hostile environments for ACP (Duerksen & Lawson, 2018; Martin et al., 2018; Mercier et al., 2015). In order to develop a sense of the research focused on the mental health needs of ACP, we conducted a scoping review study, a type of knowledge synthesis methodology, to develop a picture of the current state of the research.
This presentation aims to promote focused discussion about the mental health needs of ACP by sharing original research results from our scoping review. By recognizing and addressing these needs, it becomes possible to better support the professionals who play a crucial role in reproductive healthcare. This not only ensures the sustainability of abortion care services but also contributes to a more compassionate and empathetic healthcare system. Implications for mental health care providers working with ACPs as clients will be discussed alongside key takeaways for researchers interested in advancing our shared understanding of the needs of ACPs.

Title Red State, Blue State, and the State of Transgender Advocacy and Education in a Divided America
Code 394
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description As AASECT educators and counselors working with and for Trans and gender expansive folk we have seen in 2023 unprecedented and vicious attacks on these communities as well as our ability to educate and advocate. As a Trans/LGBTQ+ cultural competency and DEI educator serving both sides of the Mississippi river in MO and IL in the St. Louis metro area, my practice has gifted me unique perspective on operating in both hostile and supportive states. These experiences inform this facilitation, offering practical application and solutions for maintaining educational/practice opportunities.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective This one hour workshop presentation will identify both existing and new systemic barriers to gender affirming care and advocacy, the accompanying trends impacting Trans inclusive evidence based education and advocacy, and opportunity for immediate adaptive and forward looking practical application in these professional spheres.| | |
Prerequisite Background: we have seen as AASECT educators, counselors, and therapists attacks on Trans and gender expansive Americans before, but in 2023 we saw a novel and historically unprecedented, coordinated, and highly resourced attack not only upon Trans and gender expansive people, but also upon the educators, advocates, allies, and clinicians who serve and support these communities. We see this in all levels of education as well as medical and mental health venues, private and public, and also affecting business and public accommodations.
This attack has also been intersectional and intentionally directed in order to also further the harm done to sexual and gender minorities of color.
As a Trans and LGBTQ+ cultural competency and DEI education professional serving areas on each side of the Mississippi river in Missouri and Illinois in the St. Louis metropolitan area, my practice has enabled perspective within both a very hostile environment and a very supportive one, a dichotomy not afforded to many educators, advocates, and other AASECT professionals. These unique lessons learned directly inform the stated learning objectives for this facilitation. The subsequent takeaways offer opportunity for practical application and value added evidence based efforts across a wide expanse of professional expertise as well as sociopolitical geography.

Title Trauma Sits in Your Body and Makes You Shut Down
Code 235
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Sexual health education programs should be trauma-informed and inclusive while reflecting one's cultural values and traditional teachings to align with community assets and reproductive health values. Due to colonization, Native Americans face higher rates of sexual and reproductive health inequities. Therefore, this presentation will discuss sexual and reproductive health professionals' perspectives on how collective trauma affects the sexual health of Native American older adolescents and young adult women between the ages of 15-25 years old.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe sexual and reproductive health professionals’ perspectives on the ways that traumas collectively affect the sexual health of Native American older adolescents and young adult women between the ages 15-25 years old. | | |
Prerequisite Background Native Americans experience alarmingly high rates of violence and oppression because of colonization and various traumas enacted upon them. Additionally, Native adolescents and young adults experience high rates of STIs, HIV, & unintended pregnancy. To address these inequities, sexual health education programs should reflect one's cultural values and traditional teachings to align with community assets and reproductive health values. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe sexual and reproductive health professionals' perspectives on the ways that traumas collectively affect the sexual health of Native older adolescents and young adult women between the ages 15-25 years old.
Methods The study recruited a purposive sample of sexual and reproductive health professionals who among the priority population. In-depth interviews were conducted with n=13 sexual and productive health professionals. A semi-structed interview protocol was used which consisted of introductory question and proceeded with open-ended questions relevant to experiences faced by the priority population. Interviews were recorded and transcribed, and transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results There were three themes: 1) the impact of trauma and colonization on sexual health, 2) addressing trauma and promoting sexual health, and 3) supporting culturally congruent sex ed curricula. Findings from the first theme highlight instances of trauma experienced by Native populations that have impacted their sexual health. Regarding the second theme, participants noted the need to acknowledge that trauma exists, address instances of medical mistrust, and promote sexual health to reduce rates of sexual health inequities. Lastly, findings suggest that including cultural teachings, healing practices, honoring gender inclusivity, and addressing suppression of cultural teachings, would support culturally congruent sex ed curricula.
Conclusions Given the alarming rates of trauma and sexual health inequities among Native adolescent and young adult women, it is essential to continue research and educational efforts to reduce these disparities. Future implications for this work include acknowledging the trauma and combatting such trauma and sexual health disparities. Researchers and practitioners can use the findings to address collective trauma and sexual health inequities, by providing culturally congruent sexual health education as culture is ingrained in every aspect of Native life. Furthermore, honoring gender inclusivity within a culturally congruent sexual health education curriculum will go beyond the binary and include individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, as well as those who identify as Two-Spirit. As described by participants throughout this study, the integration of culture is also an integral part of healing from collective trauma.

Title Behind the Velvet Curtain: The Impact of Sex Worker Inclusion in Sexology
Code 339
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Despite sex work's significant societal and historical relevance, the perspectives and knowledge of sex workers remains overlooked and excluded from sexological research, public health, education, and therapeutic practice. Drawing from the unique lens of a queer BIPOC sex worker-turned-sexologist and living with disabilities, this workshop underscores the untapped reservoir of culturally significant and important insights that sex workers can provide, creating more inclusive, effective, and empathetic care for all.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to identify at least three strategies to effectively collaborate with and integrate the insights of sex workers into their own research, therapeutic practices, or educational frameworks, leading to a more culturally competent approach.| | |
Prerequisite Sex work, or the world's oldest profession, has remained societally relevant around the globe. Despite this timeless cultural significance that bridges borders, the perspectives and knowledge of sex workers remains overlooked and excluded from sexological research, public health, education, and therapeutic practice. This omission and lack of representation isn't just an oversight-it's a significant loss, neglecting the wealth of knowledge, insights, and cultural narratives that these professionals can offer to the field.
Drawing from the unique lens of a sex worker-turned-sexologist, one who lives at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities as a queer BIPOC woman living with disabilities, this workshop explores the nuances and crucial perspectives of sex work and sexology from lived experience and professional insights.
Key focal points of this workshop include:
-The Historical Context and Modern Day Relevancy of Sex Work Globally: A brief overview of the history of sex work and its evolving role in different societies through the ages to modern day.
-Challenging Misconceptions: Addressing, deconstructing, and correcting common myths and misconceptions surrounding sex work.
-Ambiguity in Ethical Standards: How current ethics guidelines exclude sex workers, to the detriment of the field.
-Untapped Knowledge: Exploring the reservoir of insights that sex work offers, from sociocultural commentaries and public health needs, to nuanced understandings of human sexuality and relationships.
-Strategies for inclusion, advocacy, and culturally competent care for sex workers in research, academia, and clinical contexts.
The ultimate aim of this workshop is to equip attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the value that the voices of sex workers can bring to the field. By fostering inclusivity, acknowledgment, and respect, professionals in the domain of sexology can revolutionize their approach, ensuring that care, research, and education are not just comprehensive, but also deeply empathetic and culturally competent.

Title CANCELLED - Initiating and Negotiating Mixed-Sex Threesomes: A Qualitative Study with Clinical Applications
Code 304
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Research on mixed-sex threesomes (MSTs) has largely been limited to quantitative assessments of attitudes and interests. This study examined the ways in which MSTs are initiated and negotiated. To understand these processes 116 people were recruited through a popular mobile application focused on threesomes. The results demonstrate the amount of planning and forethought that often goes into MSTs. Furthermore, the participant insights provide practical guidance for sex therapists and sex educators who work with clients who participate in MSTs.
Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists
Objective Participants will be able to identify the complexities and consideration of mixed-sex threesome|Participants will be able to Formulate guidance for clients who are considering a mixed-sex threesome|Participants will be able to Help clients assess their mixed-sex threesome interests and experiences.|
Prerequisite Mixed-sex threesomes (MSTs; i.e., a sexual act involving three people of at least two sexes) have received little research attention. What little research exists has examined attitudes, interest, and experiences by primarily adopting quantitative methods. Little is known about the details pertaining to the initiation and negotiation of one's most recent MST. Research on MST negotiation is important because related research reveals that the understandings partners have about their consensually non-monogamous relationship(s) are associated with relationship functioning. Therefore, the current study obtained a nuanced understanding of the initiation and negotiation of one's most recent MST experience by adopting a qualitative approach to assess (1) whether their MST was planned, (2) the criteria used to select participants, (3) one's reason for engaging in the MST, and (4) the extent to which hard boundaries were discussed during MST negotiations.
Methods: A total of 116 participants were recruited from the mobile application 3Fun® (a popular threesome and swinger app) and were required to have experience with MSTs. Participants were asked to complete an online survey assessing their most recent MST experience via four open-ended items. Data were analyzed via an inductive content analysis involving five steps: open coding, developing a coding protocol, grouping, categorizing, and
abstracting. After the coding process, descriptive statistics were computed to quantify the data.
Results: Overall, 50.8% of participants indicated that the MST was planned, 33.6% described it
as being spontaneous, and 13.7% were coded under the semi-spontaneous category. Regarding the criteria used when selecting partner(s), 58.6% indicated a requirement related to physical features (e.g., attractiveness, body type) and 74% indicated a preference for social criteria (e.g.,
personality, familiarity). In terms of the motivation for engaging in the MST, five themes
became clear including experience, kink, desire, perceived outcome, and circumstance. Lastly, the participants reported on the negotiations of boundaries for their MST experience, in which 47% of participants indicated having no boundaries before their engagement.
Conclusions: These results confirm that MSTs are complex and nuanced. Although MSTs may
often be conceptualized as a casual/risky sexual behavior, our results indicate that majority of
experiences are premeditated and involve a great deal of planning and negotiating. These findings may prove useful for researchers interested in examining sexual motivation in unique contexts. In addition, this research may help reduce the stigma related to threesomes by normalizing this behavior and by stressing precautions adults use during initiation/negotiation.

Title Deliberate Practice for Skill-Building in Sex Therapy
Code 240
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Sex therapy demands nuanced, skillful application to address clients' diverse and sensitive concerns. Training methods such as didactic lectures and case review with supervisors have limitations in building the clinical skills required for effective sex therapy. Deliberate Practice (DP), a method of specific, targeted skills improvement through iterative practice with immediate feedback, can significantly enhance therapeutic proficiency and client outcomes. This workshop will explore how DP can help sex therapists of all skill levels build more effective and empathetic sex therapy practices.
Intended Audience: Therapists, Supervisors
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the application of Deliberate Practice to acquiring and improving sex therapy skills.|At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to identify opportunities for using Deliberate Practice to enhance their own clinical skills with diverse clients in sensitive sexual contexts.| |
Prerequisite The primary objective of this workshop is to introduce sex therapists, educators, and trainees to the principles and application of Deliberate Practice (DP) within the context of sex therapy.
Training in sex therapy most often takes place in the context of didactic training and individual or group supervision. However, didactic training appears to have little effect on the skills of physicians, and research on common factors suggests that the same may be true for psychotherapy. Learning the theoretical underpinnings of interventions aids cognitive understanding, but does not increase the ability to carry out an intervention effectively during a therapy session. Case presentation and note review may use a combination of didactic and self-reflection skills but still focuses on either the past (recalling clinical impasses, reactions to clients, etc.) or the future (discussing how a subsequent session might proceed), rather than the essential skill of producing effective interventions in the moment during sessions.
DP provides an opportunity to bridge this gap between theory and practice. By identifying a particular skill to work on, clinicians can set specific goals, engage in focused practice that targets the skill, receive immediate feedback from a practice partner or supervisor, and then adapt each subsequent repetition of the skill accordingly. Emphasis will be placed on tailoring these principles to the unique challenges and scenarios encountered in sex therapy sessions.
Participants in this workshop will be introduced to DP and its application to psychotherapy. Through interactive exercises, attendees will identify individual skill gaps that could be strengthened using DP methods. The facilitator will provide examples of core skills common to sex therapy across various models and methods, and engage participants in real-time practice of some of these skills using written and video prompts.
Participants will also practice giving and receiving constructive feedback, honing their ability to identify nuances in therapeutic interactions. Collaborative discussions will reinforce learning, allowing attendees to gain insights from diverse perspectives and experiences. The presenter will also describe and incorporate techniques already defined in the DP literature for the development of culturally sensitive communication skills, helping sex therapists navigate diverse cultural contexts effectively.
This workshop offers a pioneering approach to sex therapy training, empowering therapists to move beyond conventional methods. By embracing Deliberate Practice, participants will embark on a transformative journey, honing their skills, enhancing client outcomes, and contributing to the evolution of effective and empathetic sex therapy practices.

Title Finding the Room Next Door (to the Room Where It Happens)
Code 347
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Let's take a whole-brain approach to "loss of desire" and other changes in sexual responsiveness, by mapping our "emotional floorplans." Grounded in affective neuroscience and applying lessons from the Polyvagal theory, the dual control model, and Internal Family Systems, this workshop will teach participants to "map" the 7 primary process emotions and trace paths from the pleasure-adverse spaces where we get stuck, to the pleasure-favorable spaces that lead into a sexy state of mind - the LUST space. This is a practical tool for exploring how to greater create access to pleasure.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to identify each of the seven primary process emotions and the three “bonus” spaces| | |
Prerequisite In this workshop, participants will learn the seven primary process emotions, as elaborated by Jaak Panksepp and colleagues, and practice mapping their "emotional floorplan," a psychoeducational tool that applies the science of emotion to sexual wellbeing.
We will begin by reviewing the emotions, with their evolutionary roots and their modern-day manifestations, along with three "bonus" spaces that are also relevant to sexual wellbeing. The spaces included are:
Pleasure Favorable Spaces:
* LUST – the motivational state of courtship and sexual interest; the urge to connect sexually
* CARE – the motivational state of attachment and caretaking; the urge to connect emotionally
* SEEKING – the motivational state of curiosity; the urge to explore
* PLAY – the motivational state of friendship; the urge to connect socially
Pleasure Adverse Spaces:
* FEAR – the motivational state of the "flight" stress response; the urge to escape
* RAGE – the motivational state of the "fight" stress response; the urge to destroy
* PANIC/GRIEF – the motivational state of social isolation; the urge to repair a connection
"Bonus" Spaces:
* The Thinking Mind – Executive functioning and other cognitive processes
* The Body – the physiological states that influence and are influenced by all of the above
* Observational Distance – the mindful state of stepping to one side of our internal experience, with an attitude of neutral noticing
For each, we will assess how a person can recognize which space they're in; what puts them in that space; what removes them from that space; and what spaces they might go to, when they leave any given space.
We will then explore how we can better understand human internal experiences and access sexual pleasure, arousal, and desire, by mapping the relationships among all these spaces, as we observe in our lived experience. If a person is moving through FEAR, where do they move to? And where can they go from there? If a person wants to find their way to LUST, what spaces must they move through to get there?
By mapping the floorplan, participants reveal which emotional spaces are "next door" to the LUST space. These spaces can become goal states for those seeking to enhance their access to sexual pleasure and connection.

Title Engaging Diversity Plenary: De Aquí y De Allá…Centering Latinidad in Sex Education, Counseling, y Therapy
Code
Type Plenary Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Does Latinidad (the experience of a pan-Latino identity) exist? And if so, is there a common experience of sexuality? Latine(x/a/o) peoples come from 32 countries across the world and are a heterogenous mix of Indigenous, European, and African ancestries (González Burchard, et. al., 2005). Using a frame of "y" the Spanish word for "and," the plenary will focus on duality as an integral experience of Latine(x/a/o)s living in the United States. As a collective of sexuality professionals we will explore concepts that seem in opposition, such as sexual indulgence and purity, through a mixture of data y música. We will also consider how professionals may be using whitewashing interventions in the treatment of sexual trauma through rationality, boundaries, and individualism without considering the importance of familismo, personalismo, dichos, aguantarse y desaguarse. Participants will also be asked to add more conexión y sazón to their work across populations.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Identify the impact of assimilation y whitewashing interventions in sex education, counseling, and therapy.|Describe the impacts of indigeneity y coloniality on Latine(x/a/o) sexuality.|Define cochinismo y pudor.|Conceptualize sexual trauma from collectivistic y individualistic perspectives to inform relevant treatment for Latine(x/a/o)s.

My name is Juan Francisco Camarena Jr. I am the son of Juan Francisco Camarena, a Mexican immigrant, and Linda Rios Ramirez, who was born in the United States to Mexican parents. My people come from the Mexican states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Michoacan. I was born in
Fresno California and resided there until I left for college to attend San Diego State University in 1996. I have been married to the same man since 2006 and we’ve raised a few dogs and spent two years raising a teenager.
I really care about working in partnership with graduate students, psychotherapy clients, and providing educational experiences for sexuality professionals. I work at San Diego State University as an Assistant Professor, I maintain an independent sex therapy practice, and I teach
sexuality courses at the California Institute for Integral Studies. I love education and graduated with a master’s degree in counseling from San Diego State in 2003, a master’s degree in human sexuality in 2013, and a doctorate in human sexuality in 2016.
I am proud of having been a therapist and supervisor in non-profit community mental health for over 12 years, of working as a part-time lecturer for 18 years, maintaining an independent psychotherapy practice for 15 years, and being a tenure track professor for two years.
I feel passionate about exploring Latinidad y sexualidad, researching how identity helps Queer Black and Brown men thrive, making psychotherapy better for gender diverse peoples, providing clinical support for Queer and Trans BIPOC relationships, and helping adults explore alternatives to monogamy.

Title Fireside Chat - Transdisciplinary Approaches to Sex Education: Pleasure, Consent, Violence Prevention, and Beyond!
Code 242
Type Fireside Chat
Topic
Presenters
Description This fireside chat queries expectations for sex/consent education and its implementation, while imagining new possibilities for the field. Discussant one is a PhD in Human Sexuality Candidate, who supports Indigenous survivors of sexual trauma. Her study focuses on pleasure education, grounded in Indigenous epistemologies of pleasure and pedagogical approaches. Discussant two is a MA student in Social Justice Education, while also being the lead writer for a sexual violence prevention resource for students. Her study focuses on sexual and gender-based violence prevention in higher education.
The objective of the fireside chat is to have a rich dialogue about sex/consent education 'is' (expectations) and what is looks like in practice, in different spaces, from transdisciplinary perspectives. We want to complicate 'buzz words' (ie. consent, pleasure, education) and image new possibilities for sex/consent education with folks in different fields who are interested in creating change.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective The objective of the fireside chat is to have a rich dialogue about what sex/consent education “is” (expectations) and what it looks like in practice, in different spaces, from transdisciplinary perspectives. We want to complicate “buzz words” (ie. consent, pleasure, education) and imagine new possibilities for sex/consent education with folks in different fields who are interested in creating change.
| | |
Prerequisite This fireside chat queries expectations for sex/consent education and its actual implementation, while also complicating the notion of what sex/consent education could be. The chat takes an transdisciplinary approach, where the discussion is driven by moments of alignment and disagreement.
Discussant one is a PhD in Human Sexuality Candidate, who supervises a team that supports Indigenous survivors of sexual exploitation/sexual trauma/sexual abuse. The work centers around: education, prevention, intervention, and healing. Every file is complex and involves working with multiple complicated systems, while also working with people, who carry the complexities of their lived experiences (and the experiences of their ancestors).
She draws from her study on pleasure education, which is grounded in Indigenous epistemologies of pleasure. Pleasure is an understudied concept in sex education research and Indigenous perspectives are often missing entirely from sex education research. Her study draws from: critical sexuality studies, sex therapy modalities, Indigenous studies, sexual violence prevention, Indigenous feminisms, Indigenous research methodologies and pedagogies, and Indigenous epistemologies of pleasure.
Methods included: curriculum design, the facilitation of two Learning Circles, individual interviews (n=12), and data analysis. The curriculum design was informed by Indigenous epistemologies of pleasure and pedagogical practices, sex therapy psychoeducation strategies, and sexual violence prevention frameworks. Participants were, overall, quite excited by the proposed curriculum and offered important feedback regarding curriculum development, stakeholder considerations, facilitation strategies, topic suggestions, and skill-building exercises.
This paper is significant to sex educators, sexologists, community Helpers, therapists, curriculum developers, and Indigenous studies.
Discussant two is a MA student in in Social Justice Education, while also being the lead curriculum writer for a pre-sexualized violence training resource for international students. Her research study focuses on sexual and gender-based violence prevention in higher education.
The study draws from critical ethnography, intersectionality, critical social theory, and sexual violence prevention.
This qualitative study data will be collected and analyzed from 5 interviews with stakeholders connected to sexual and gender-based violence prevention policy and implementation in their respective post-secondary institutions. This paper draws from an on-going study that focuses on how key stakeholders in sexual and gender-based violence prevention offices implement and negotiate their response, support, and education on campuses.
This study is significant to sex educators, curriculum writers, students/faculty and post-secondary administrators.

Title Choosing Myself: Innovating Comprehensive Sex Education
Code 236
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This presentation examines the impact of an evidence-informed sexual health education curriculum within the context of program evaluation and innovation. We describe an innovative, transdisciplinary, community-guided, trauma-informed sex education program that recognizes multiple systems of oppression and aims to decrease gender-based and sexual violence, medical racism and trafficking in the sex industry. We present findings from our federally-funded implementation and evaluation of this program and discuss lessons learned and best practices developed over the course of the funding period.
Objective Participants will understand how Choosing Myself is an innovative program and how data gathered from the implementation and e| | |
Prerequisite The US faces an increasing need for inclusive, comprehensive, and anti-racist sexual-health education not only to decrease the gender, sexual, and racialized violence that permeates society, but to liberate current and future generations from narrow perspectives that continue to reproduce violence. This education is transgressive and seeks to dismantle the very systems of oppression that the educational content is delivered within.
The Choosing Myself curriculum was designed with and for marginalized youth. It creates a foundation for reproductive justice through a trauma-informed, pleasure-centric, hope-filled framework grounded in a collaboratively-created learning space with justice-involved 13-18 year old youth - a population that is largely seen as undeserving of pleasure. We show how this curriculum and our federally funded grant highlights the necessity for a curriculum that names and addresses systemic oppressions and individuals' needs to help them to determine their values and goals. We address social determinants of health in a reproductive-justice framework that moves beyond family planning to show youth they have a right to pleasure (meaning joy and a pleasure-filled life) that can be created through their goals, values, and boundaries. Grounded in a rights-based framework, Choosing Myself presents sex education as a human right including access to medical care, a supportive environment, and safe and sustainable communities. We are delivering and assessing a feminist program that does not compromise our values in inclusivity and equality and acknowledges and addresses racism and historical injustices to serve as grassroots resistance.

Description This presentation explores the psychosexual development of Afro-Caribbean women in the English-speaking Caribbean. It investigates the complex interplay between cultural sexual messages conveyed through food, music, cultural events, and intergenerational wisdom. Through this examination, we aim to uncover the profound influence of these messages on the sexual beliefs and practices of Afro-Caribbean women.

Prerequisite Title: Cultural Tapestry of Desire: Investigating the Complex Role of Culture in Shaping the Psychosexual Development of Afro-Caribbean Women
This research endeavors to delve into the intricate landscape of psychosexual development among Afro-Caribbean women hailing from the English-speaking Caribbean. It places a distinctive focus on the intricate interplay between cultural sexual messages disseminated through various avenues, such as food, dance, music, intergenerational messages, and cultural events. Rooted in the tenets of script theory, this study seeks to unearth how these cultural messages influence the sexual beliefs and experiences of Afro-Caribbean women and, in the process, decolonize this theoretical framework.
With a qualitative research design, the study recruits eight Afro-Caribbean women aged 25-35 through a sampling strategy that combines snowball and convenience sampling. This cohort comprises first-generation immigrants who spent ten formative years on the anglicized islands of the Afro-Caribbean region. Presently residing in Brooklyn, the rationale for this location choice stems from its substantial Afro-Caribbean population, offering a rich tapestry of potential participants.
Through the methodology of "Sista circle" groups, the research unfolds the unique experiences, beliefs, and perspectives of Afro-Caribbean women within the culturally diverse landscape of Brooklyn. Narrative analysis is employed as the data analysis technique, with a deliberate focus on the voices and narratives of these women, often marginalized in the context of sexual health and culture-related studies.
This research serves as a pivotal platform for amplifying the oft-overlooked voices of Afro-Caribbean women, shedding light on the intricate and multifaceted dynamics that shape their psychosexual development. Beyond contributing to the academic discourse, it stands as a testament to the commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and decolonization within the realm of sexual health and culture studies.

Description Sexuality is a crucial aspect of human life, and understanding its expression is necessary for physical, emotional, and social well-being. Despite the significance of this topic, there is a paucity of research related to sex and sexuality among women of East African descent.

Prerequisite Sexuality is a crucial aspect of human life, and understanding its expression is necessary for physical, emotional, and social well-being. Despite the significance of this topic, there is a paucity of research related to sex and sexuality among women of East African descent. Existing research has primarily focused on HIV/AIDS prevention and reproductive health, leaving the broader topic of female sexuality unexplored. This thesis aims to address this gap by exploring the diverse experiences of East African women regarding their sexuality especially those currently living in the US. Particularly, this presentation aims to explore attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs toward sex and sexuality. Further, it seeks to examine the sociocultural, and contextual factors that shape the development of female sexual attitudes and behaviors in East Africa in the US by highlighting challenges related to sexual expression for women of East African descent, and 2) identify strategies for promoting female sexual health and pleasure. Ultimately, this presentation will provide a comprehensive understanding of the sex lives of East African women, destigmatize female sexuality, especially for East African women in the US who may not even have the language for sexual expression, and inform policies and interventions aimed at promoting female sexual health and pleasure for this population.

Title Evaluating Perceptions of Family Friendly Drag Events
Code 332
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Drag queen story hours, typically hosted in libraries for audiences of children to promote self-expression, acceptance, and community, have been receiving significant pushback from individuals, organizations, media companies, and lawmakers. This research examined perceptions of family friendly drag events through a Relational Density Theory framework using a multidimensional scaling procedure. Participants were asked to rate the strength of relatedness between words and phrases used in news coverage of family friendly drag events on both Fox News and CNN and from the Drag Story Hour website.
Objective Understand perceptions of family drag events according to political affiliation| | |
Prerequisite Drag entertainers have a long history within the LGBTQIA2S+ community and have recently begun family-friendly drag events. Michelle Tea, a queer activist, has been credited with the creation of drag queen story hours, typically hosted in libraries for audiences of children to promote self-expression, acceptance, and community (Barriage et al., 2020; Drag Story Hour, 2022; Keenan & Hot Mess, 2020). Although attendees of such events have reported positive experiences, there has been significant pushback (Barriage et al., 2020; Radis et al., 2021). A controversial Tennessee law banned public performances involving 'adult cabaret,' including 'male or female impersonators' (Tenn. Code Ann. § 7-51-1401), targeting family-friendly drag events. This placed a direct impact on drag performers in Tennessee but also had broader effects on queer and transgender individuals residing in the state. Months after the law was issued, it was overturned by a federal judge who deemed the ban unconstitutional. Legally, this overturn was a success for the LGBTQIA2S+ community, but the effects of the initial drag ban generated a debate that continues. Many conservative-leaning individuals have sided with efforts to criminalize public drag performances, claiming the events are inappropriate for children. News stories have documented both sides of the issue, adding to pre-existing beliefs about drag in general. This research seeks to further examine perceptions of family-friendly drag events through a Relational Density Theory framework. Relational Density Theory (RDT) is an approach to measuring relational responding that contributes to the formation of beliefs and opinions (Belisle & Dixon, 2020). In the present research study, participants completed a brief demographic questionnaire and a multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure. The MDS procedure asked participants to rate the strength of relatedness between stimuli. The stimuli included in this task were taken from two main sources: (1) words and phrases used in news coverage of family-friendly drag events on Fox News (identified as the most commonly used news station for those with conservative political views; Mitchell et al., 2014) and CNN (the most commonly used news station for those with liberal political views; Mitchell et al., 2014) and (2) words and phrases used on the Drag Story Hour website (Drag Story Hour, 2022). Responses from participants were compared between groups based on political affiliation to better understand the current views of family-friendly drag events.

Title Evolving Sex Education for Children and Adolescents in the US: How Do Other Countries Do it?
Code 244
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The importance of sex education has been supported for decades, however, sex education in the US is neither compulsory nor standardized, being left to states or school districts decisions on its delivery. By exploring and reviewing how other countries approach sex education and comparing rates of teen pregnancies we can expand our knowledge of which protocols work best. This information can be used to show how topics should be broached and in what format sex education should be delivered providing evidence for the need to standardize and mandate sex education.
Objective By attending to the poster, participants will be able to understand how other countries approach sexuality education, how thi| | |
Prerequisite As counselors, taking a multicultural approach is a requisite in our code of ethics. However multicultural consideration have not been extended to sexuality education in the US. Schools are often thought of as a culture encompassing societal norms and values with many intersections of race, ethnicities, religions, socioeconomic statuses, etc. As counselors we need to take these factors into account when explaining how sexuality education should be taught. We need to create a curriculum that would best be extended and mandated to all children in school settings, so they can better prepare for the world they meet as they progress in their development. We should be updating curriculum to include concepts like consent, body image, self-respect, and gender identities to allow children to have a more balanced knowledge which will allow them to make more informed and healthier choices. Sexuality education has been a hot issue for years. What should we include in sexuality education and how do we study its outcomes? In most instances, we look at teenage pregnancy rates. At what age do we teach specific topics to better meet our students where they are at, like we would with any client? Will teaching kids about sex cause them to begin having sex? Most studies suggest that this is not the case (Bordogna et al., 2023). In the United States, it is espoused that we follow the Abstinence Only Until Marriage (AOUM) curriculum (Bordogna et al., 2023). However, is this really the best choice? In The Netherlands they often teach the Long Live Long (LLL) curriculum (Aronowitz & Fawcett, 2015). Looking at the statistics, the rate of teen pregnancies in the US was 13.9 live births per 1000 females aged 15-19 in 2021 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023). This statistic is comparatively high to the Netherlands, which was 2.5 live births per 1000 females ages 15-19 in 2019 (CBS, 2021). These numbers suggest a significant difference that should be taken into consideration when we are choosing how we educate our children about their sexual health. This disparity demands the question, what are some of the differences in the sexuality education curriculum from country to country? Can we as the US take the best parts of each of these curriculums to formulate a sexuality education that is strong, comprehensive, and helps decrease our teen pregnancy rates? Can we start our education early with concepts like "What is consent?" or teaching children that their body is their own and beautiful? All these questions most likely have answers if we are willing to investigate the sexuality education curriculum of other countries and begin to build a stronger and more encompassing curriculum that allows for multicultural differences to be considered. In this poster session, the presenter will disseminate her findings on such international curricular considerations, expounding upon how the US curriculum of sex education could be modified in light of such considerations.

Title Familial Sex Education and Communication: Asian American Dialogues
Code 195
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Asian Americans are less likely than other racial groups to seek mental health care, including sex therapy services. One important consideration in preparing sex therapists to work competently with Asian Americans is the topic of Parent-Child Sex Communication (PCSC). This poster will provide a detailed summary reviewing the research on PCSC trends in Asian American households, as well as the effects this has on Asian Americans and their sexualities. This poster will also address the cultural nuances that sex therapists and researchers should consider when working with this population.
Objective After engaging with this poster, participants will be able to recognize cultural practices regarding parent-child sex communi| | |
Prerequisite Currently, there is a large gap in the research on how to provide culturally responsive sex therapy for the Asian American population. Asian Americans are less likely than other racial groups to seek mental health care (Ariga & Panchal, 2023), a statistic that may reflect a variation of cultural beliefs around mental health and wellness, in addition to a lack of culturally tailored and responsive therapy options. Many Asian Americans consider sex to be a taboo subject, and are thus even less likely to seek out mental health professionals regarding this topic, specifically (Lee et al., 2013). When Asian Americans do seek out sex therapy, clinicians may be prone to misinterpreting client silence or hesitation around intimate topics. One major factor in providing better, more culturally responsive, sex therapy to Asian Americans is a better understanding of this population's upbringing with regard to sexual education, specifically their early experiences of Parent-Child Sex Communication (PCSC), the communicated sexual education that occurs between parents and children. When compared to other ethnicities, Asian Americans are the least likely to use PCSC (Lee et al., 2013; Regnerus, 2005; Flores & Barroso 2017). When Asian American parents do engage in PCSC, many children complain that they receive limited information and have to heavily rely on non-verbal communication (Kim & Ward, 2007). Additionally, it is reported that PCSC conversations are often one-sided, such that Asian American children feel they don't have space to contribute to the conversations (Astle et al., 2021; Hyde et al., 2013; Speno & Halliwell, 2021). Asian American parents prefer to avoid direct communication about sex by using veiled topics, such as education (Kao & Martyn, 2014). These PCSC styles can at times impose direct negative effects on Asian American children, such as daughters initiating sex at an earlier time and stronger sexual double standards (Guo, 2019; Kim et al., 2020). The impacts of this communication style are likely unique for Asian Americans with additional minoritized identities, such as LGBTQ individuals. Many sex therapists may lack a cultural understanding of how PCSC has impacted their Asian American clients and the ways in which they may prefer to communicate about sex. Sex therapists and researchers in sexuality need to consider the cultural nuances that come from this style of parenting and communication. This poster aims to provide a detailed summary of the research on PCSC communication among Asian Americans, as well as related recommendations for sex therapists and researchers working with this population. Recommendations will center on supporting Asian Americans with additional marginalized identities. With this knowledge, sex therapists and researchers can better serve the Asian American community to meet their unique needs.

Title It’s Not You, It’s Them: Suicidality Among the Trans and Gender Non-Conforming
Code 123
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description The LGBTQ+ community has historically been blamed for the disproportionate rates of mental health concerns, including suicidality, observed within the community. However, the present study provides support to the argument that society is implicated in the rates of suicidality among transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) persons, as opposed to inherent, preexisting psychopathology. As educators and clinicians, it is our responsibility to support TGNC clients and help shift conversations from what is wrong with TGNC persons to how their environments harm them and may better support them.
Objective Participants will understand information regarding the current state of mental health concerns, with an emphasis on suicidali| | |
Prerequisite According to extent research, transgender identity and gender non-conformity (TGNC) positively correlate with increased risks of discrimination, vigilance, safety issues, and mental health concerns (e.g., Côté et al., 2023; Lowry et al., 2020; Tabler et al., 2021). Even in comparison to other LGBTQ+ members, TGNC individuals report higher rates of suicidality than the larger population (The Trevor Project, 2022). However, minimal research has addressed within-group variation of suicidality among TGNC people. Also, the LGBTQ+ community has historically been blamed for both the suffering of themselves and others (American Psychiatric Association, 1952; American Psychiatric Association, 1980; Riemer & Brown, 2019). As such, it is valuable to better understand the sources of psychological distress. Consequently, the present study will investigate the association between gender-identity-based harassment and suicidality among TGNC people. The researcher proposed the hypothesis: TGNC persons who have experienced gender-identity-based harassment will report suicidal ideation at rates greater than expected, while TGNC persons who have not experienced gender-identity-based harassment will report suicidal ideation at expected rates. Archival data were acquired from Waves I and V of the Add Health longitudinal survey. TGNC identification was determined by computing the relationship between sex assigned at birth and gender presentation (total TGNC sample, N = 587). A chi-square test of independence was performed, and the hypothesis was supported. TGNC individuals who had experienced gender-identity-based harassment endorsed suicidal ideation at rates significantly greater than expected, whereas TGNC individuals who had not experienced gender-identity-based harassment endorsed suicidal ideation at expected rates X2 (1, N = 483) = 6.666, p = .01. The results of the present study have several implications for sex educators, counselors, and therapists. Therapists should be diligent to ask TGNC about experiences of gender-identity-based-harassment, as such experiences are associated with suicidality. Additionally, the results suggest that suicidality among the TGNC population exists due to societal factors, as opposed to inherent psychopathology, and support research implicating societal failure in the hardship experienced by TGNC persons (Kaufman et al., 2022). In both clinical and educational settings, professionals should consider subtler messages within their sessions and lessons regarding the etiology of mental health concerns among TGNC persons. To prevent internal loci of blame, conversations should include discussion of the environmental factors contributing to the deleterious outcomes. As educators and clinicians, it is our responsibility to help shift the conversation from what is wrong with TGNC persons to what is failing them in their environments and what can be done to better support them.

Title Sexuality Educators' Perceptions of Value & Experiences with Sexuality Certifications
Code 374
Type Poster Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description This poster shares results from a research study that examined how sexuality educators perceive the value of certification and for those who have sought certification, their experiences with the process. Results from certified and non-certified sexuality educators will be presented.
Objective After reviewing this poster, participants will be able to identify certified and non-certified sexuality educators' perceptio| | |
Prerequisite The poster will provide results from an IRB-approved research study that examined how sexuality educators perceive the value of certification and for those who have sought certification, their experiences with the process. Participants completed an online 40-item survey about their experiences with one or more of 12 sexuality education/sexology certifications.
For those with certification(s), items queried experiences in obtaining and maintaining the certification and included closed and open ended questions. Summative descriptive data will be presented.
All individuals were asked about their perceptions related to the value of both sexuality education certifications and sexology certifications separately. To address this research question, the participants completed a modified version of the updated "Perceived Value of Certification Tool." This 11 item scale was originally created for the nurses' perceptions of certification value (1, 2). Analyses will be performed in a manner consistent with Barbé & Kimble's (3) work which compared certified and non-certified nurse educators' perceptions.
Data collection is ongoing, but we anticipate ~100 respondents will be used in the analyses.

Title 'They Won't Work with Me' and Other Client Experiences.
Code 159
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description My research focuses on the clients' experiences when discussing sex with their therapists. I surveyed folx that had attended therapy and attempted to discuss a sex/sex-related topic with their therapist. Participants responded about their perceptions therapy and the clinicians. Participants provided insight into helpful and harmful practices enacted in therapy by their therapist. Results show that some clinicians are navigating sexological topics well and others are not. Clinical implications include addressing social injustices and unethical practices for clinicians guided by clients' voices.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to demonstrate awareness of the harmful and helpful practices enacted by clinicians when clients discuss sexological topics in therapy.| | |
Prerequisite Human sexuality is an innate part of life that all people will have to navigate in some capacity during their lifespan. Clients attend therapy to seek assistance with a variety of issues, and sex can often be part of that. Even if sex is not the primary reason a person seeks therapy, sex is often impacting and impacted by the other facets of a person's life. Yet, clinicians and clinicians-in-training are frequently under- or untrained in sexological topics. The lack of training influences the treatment clients receive, at the client's expense. There is a dearth of research on the impacts of under- or untrained clinicians on the client's experience of therapy. This study focused on surveying clients about their attempts to discuss sexological topics with a therapist. An exploratory mixed-methods study surveyed 94 participants and produced 105 responses. Results show that some sensitive and affirming therapy practices were reported, with counselors and psychologists scoring higher than other designations. Marriage and family therapists (MFTs) are consistently scoring poorly, second only to psychiatrists on many of the questions; MFTs scored most likely to refuse services to a client after the disclosure of a nondominant identity or sexological topic. MFTs scoring high on biased, unethical care is in direct contradiction––not just with their accreditation standards and ethical codes, but also contradicts the social justice component of their training.

Code 136
Type Dialogue Panel Presentation
Topic
Presenters
Description Understanding the AASECT Code of Conduct can take months, even years, but this workshop will help people understand how to file a grievance, identify how they can represent themselves as members, and how the welfare of the consumer impacts both of those. So come on consumer, represent yourself, and file a grievance in this interactive and informative workshop!
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Understand how AASECT members can represent themselves
|Identify one right of the consumer.|Understand the grievance process for AASECT. |

Title Supporting Romantic Cis- and Transgender Relationships That Remain Intact During Transition
Code 305
Type Original Research Session
Topic
Presenters
Description Mainstream visibility of transgender individuals and their families has increased over the past decade. Popular media representations have trickled into US culture with stories detailing someone's transition experience, along with the transition's impact on their romantic relationships. Researchers have explored specific challenges for couples to navigate in this transition. This study, however, is the first to understand the transition process from both romantic partners. The results will help therapist understand the co-transitions that occur when one partner comes out as Trans.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective
Participants will be able to identify the complexities and consideration of blended cis- and trans-gender relationships|
Participants will be able to develop an understanding of the challenges and issues that can arise during a co-transition.|
Participants will be able to formulate balanced guidance for clients who are co-transitioning.|
Prerequisite The question of what predicts cis- and transgender-identified partners' ability to maintain their romantic relationship during a partner's gender transition is important to understand. This understanding can provide support to couples going through this process and might offer guidance for therapists to be effective when working with these couples. I will use this term, "co-transitioning," throughout the proposal to indicate that anytime someone in a relationship is transitioning, their partner is also transitioning in important ways, thus it is a co-transition in the relational sense.
Without a doubt a partner's gender transition impacts their romantic relationships. Devor (1997) found that approximately half of the pre-transition relationships in their study remained intact. Similarly, Meier and his colleagues (2013) found that 51% of those partnered at the time of transition were still with their partners years after they came out. In trying to understand why some relationships work and others do not, researchers explored some specific challenges (e.g., shifting sexualities, fluid gender roles, minority stress, and community marginalization etc.) for couples to navigate in these relationships. For the cisgender partners they may also go through a renegotiation of their own sexual identity apart from the transgender partner's transition (Brown, 2009). This challenge seems to confirm Buxton's (2007) findings that a significant subset of co-transitioning relationships ended in the first few years as both partners wrestled with questions of physical attraction and sexual identity.
There is also some guidance about protective factors that might predict a successful co-transition among partners. Utilizing a quantitative sample of cisgender females whose partners came out as trans, Platt (2020) sought to understand what these protective factors might be. In Platt's analysis the two main predictors of success from the cisgender partner's perspective are (a) the years in the relationship prior to the transition, and (b) personal resilience. Mediating both variables in Platt's regression analysis is the overall satisfaction with the relationship.
This qualitative pilot study is the first to understand the transition process from both romantic partners. The researcher interviewed ten couples (both individually and the couple together) to better understand the co-transition process. This multi-perspective and multi-vocal approach confirms some previous research findings and pushes into new areas particularly around how partners care for each other throughout this co-transition. Understanding this process from both cis- and trans-partner perspective is vital for therapists working with these relationships.

Title What the Health Ed?
Code 353
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description The goal of this workshop is to support sex educators in developing programs, curriculum, and partnerships with school-based health education teachers and administrators. Participants will learn the theoretical underpinnings of comprehensive, skills-based health education in the K-12 setting. This interactive session will guide participants in their development and integration of comprehensive sex education concepts and skills into health education lessons. Participants will leave this workshop with tangible resources and skills supporting the building of school-based partnerships.
Intended Audience: Educators
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to prepare a proposal for sex education facilitation within a school-based health education curriculum.
| | |
Prerequisite Comprehensive school health education (CHE) is a planned, sequential curriculum of activities presented by teachers to promote the development of health knowledge, health-related skills, and positive attitudes toward health and well-being for school-aged children. However, there are no federal health education mandates for the requirement of health education class (where a majority of public-school sexuality education is taught in the US) and state-level mandates vary widely. In addition, state-level mandates for health education teachers to participate in any type of training specific sex education methodologies is absent. At the same time, the implementation of sex education varies throughout the United States; only 30 states and the District of Columbia require public schools to teach sex education and only 22 of these states require the content be "medically, factually or technically accurate" (Guttmacher Institute, 2020). While these numbers are changing as states like Florida remove sex ed from classrooms while others, like Massachusetts, are creating legislation. Comprehensive and skills-based health and sexuality education are supported by multiple educational theories and models, including Bandura's social-cognitive theory and Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. However, sex educators are rarely offered insight into how these two fields are intrinsically linked in public school education. The goal of this workshop is to support sex educators in developing programs, curricula, and partnerships with school-based health education leaders. Participants will be guided through the historical landscape of school based health education and will take a deep dive into the complexities and nuance of modern Health Ed classrooms. Participants will learn the theoretical underpinnings of comprehensive, skills-based health education in the K-12 setting.. Exploring the WSCC model, Health Belief Model, and the Skills-Based Model, participants will compare and contrast theory, methods, and values similarities and differences between health education and sex education. This interactive session will guide participants in their development and integration of comprehensive sex education concepts and skills into health education lessons, using a culturally competent pedagogical lens, based on the work of health ed thought leaders and researchers. Participants will leave this workshop with tangible resources and skills supporting the building of school-based partnerships. This workshop will expand sex educators' portfolio and support the expansion of work, to increase the quality of sex education implemented as part of the comprehensive health education classroom.

Hi, I’m Dr. G! I am an AASECT Certified Sex Educator, currently based in Miami, FL, spending much of my time in Brooklyn, NY, and Cape Town, South Africa. I have taught comprehensive health and sex education worldwide, including 17 years as a high school health teacher. I have over 20 years of experience in the field, and I founded AB Global in 2023. AB Global is a transnational organization that supports educators, youth-serving professionals, and families in their work and relationships with young people. AB stands for Abantu Bahle, which means ‘people are beautiful’ in isiXhosa (one of the 11 national languages of South Africa).
In addition, I am an adjunct professor at Widener University's Center for Human Sexuality Studies and at Wright State University. I also have a continued research partnership at the University of Western Cape in South Africa. My research interests examine the interactions between teacher and learner identities in health and sex education, focusing on pre- and in-service teacher training that includes strategies for meeting students' perceptions in affective and culturally responsive ways.
I earned a B.S. in Health Science from the University of Arizona, an MPH from California State University, Long Beach, a Master of Science in Educational Leadership from the City College of New York, and a MEd and PhD from Widener University’s Center for Human Sexuality Studies.
In my free time, you can find me on the dance floor, sunning on the beach, hiking in the mountains, or traveling with my dog Lola.

Title Cuckolding with a Bull of Color: Racism or Harmless Kink?
Code 245
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Understanding the perspective of the "bull" of color in cuckolding is not only significant but necessary. This dynamic, shrouded in uncomfortable racial undertones, has remained unexplored, casting a shadow over this specific kink. Is there an element of fetishization at play? Is there racism hidden beneath the surface excitement? Does this perpetuate harmful stereotypes for men of color? This research aims to delve into these questions, shedding light on the experiences and perceptions of the "bull" of color.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to discuss the intersection of cuckolding and race play through the lens of the bull of color.| | |
Prerequisite While the cuck's experience in cuckolding relationships has been extensively studied and the cucktress's somewhat studied, it's alarming how the narrative of the "bull", particularly the black male "bull", remains largely unexplored. This creates a critical knowledge gap, leaving many to speculate and potentially draw misguided conclusions about this complex dynamic. Much like any other topic that ventures into the realm of the taboo, it elicits polarizing reactions. It is essential to underscore that the presence of race in sexual kinks does not automatically designate them as racist or inherently harmful. However, it is equally crucial to recognize that these dynamics can perpetuate harmful stereotypes if not addressed mindfully. We must delve deeper, excavate the untold stories of Bulls of Color, and provide a platform where their voices can be heard. By doing so, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of their experience before making a judgment about whether this practice is good or bad. This exploration is not just a matter of academic interest but also one of social responsibility.
The roots of these fetishes can be traced back to slavery in America when Black men were stereotypically depicted as strong, aggressive and dangerous due to their animalistic sexual desires. Fear was instilled in the masses with alarming and untrue tales of Black men posing a threat to white women to justify oppression, control and cruelty. The combination of fear of strength, aggression and danger gradually evolved into a sexual fantasy. The BBC (Big Black Cock) became the ultimate taboo - an object of extreme desire for white people. It's crucial to understand these historical complexities to unearth the true origins of these fetishes. By acknowledging this, we are not only taking a step towards informed consent but also fostering a space for respectful exploration and understanding of our sexual fantasies.
In order to get the perspective of a bull, I created an informal, preliminary survey for men of color who identified as a bull in the cuckolding community. I received 25 responses and 1 personal, follow-up interview. The age range was from 24-53 years old with an average 10 years in the lifestyle. The results revealed that although there are features of fetishization and racial stereotypes in this particular form of cuckolding, most of the Black men indicated they did not experience racism. Additionally, the majority reported their interactions with white couples as positive, empowering and consensual. A surprising discovery was that some men saw their role as bulls as a powerful way to combat racism and bring people together through sexual fantasy.
Further research is needed to understand how sex, race and social taboo intersect in ways that could be negative and harmful for some, but empowering for others.

Title Intersectional Treatment Approach: Assessing Sexual Dysfunction and Preventing Early Onset Psychosis
Code 272
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description This presentation will address the role of sexual dysfunction as an early indicator of psychosis risk symptomatology, and how to assess for and identify early psychosis experiences to prevent the development of serious mental health conditions. Due to symptom overlap and varied provider comfort levels working with individuals who experience psychosis or sexual dysfunction concerns, it is essential for early psychosis providers and sex therapists to collaborate, and for sex therapists to understand warning signs for psychosis risk, treatment approaches, and referral resources.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective Participants will be able to understand the role of sexual dysfunction as an early indicator of psychosis risk symptomatology, learn how to utilize evidenced-based self-report measures to assess for early onset psychotic disorders, and gain treatment strategies and referral resources for individuals who experience early onset psychosis symptoms.
| | |
Prerequisite This presentation will address interplay of sexual dysfunction as an early indicator of psychosis risk symptomatology, and explore how to assess for and identify early risk for psychosis experiences to assist with the prevention of the development of chronic serious mental health conditions. Research studies suggest sexual dysfunction might pre-exist prior to the development of psychosis symptomatology (citations 1 and 2); and early onset psychosis specialty providers experience discomfort asking individuals about sexual health and functioning (citation 3). Due to the symptom overlap and varied provider comfort levels, it's essential for early psychosis providers and sex therapists to collaborate, and for sex therapists to understand warning signs for psychosis risk, treatment approaches, and referral resources. As such, sex therapists might benefit from learning how to administer evidenced-based assessments to rule-out clinical high risk for psychosis to assist with prevention of the development of chronic serious mental health conditions. Attendees will gain insight into evidenced-based methods to assess for clinical high risk for psychosis, treatment approaches, and referral resources will be provided. The presentation will provide an intersectional treatment approach when clients present for sex therapy to treat sexual dysfunction and might need additional specialty treatment services for co-morbid early onset psychosis.

Title Sex Under the Gender Expansive Umbrella
Code 310
Type Workshop
Topic
Presenters
Description Mx. Willow has been working for over a decade in transgender and gender expansive healthcare support, education and training. Working to provide accurate, data informed education to the transgender and gender expansive community through workshops, classes, and resource sharing. Tackling change in health care systems through provider training, business consultation, and workplace culture shift programming. Their work has garnered multiple awards, including TIME magazine's Innovative Teacher award in 2022.
Intended Audience: All Audiences
Objective At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to name three affirming tools that transgender and gender expansive folks may use as part of their sexual health experiences.| | |
Prerequisite This workshop is an overview of transgender sexual health. During our hour we will review some considerations unique to transgender and gender expansive folks including gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT)/hormone replacement therapy (HRT), affirming surgeries, affirming equipment, relationships and healthcare access -- and how all of that relates to sexual health. We will review items that may assist in sexual exploration including yes/no/maybe lists, body/organ surveys, sex toys and physical accessibility tools.
This program was conceived of by trans and gender expansive humans many years ago in the St. Louis area as a response to a barrage of questions from trans and gender nonconforming community members about their sexual health and experiences. A few of us sat down and created a handful of workshops to answer a couple of specific questions. Over the years the vision has grown, as has the experience of the educators and the involvement of various consultants and trainers across the country. All of whom are transgender or gender expansive themselves. It is important to note that the first organizers of this work were all white, but over the years the aforementioned expansion has included experts of color as well.

Biography
Willow Rosen (they/them/theirs) is a white, Jewish, nonbinary, queer educator and consultant. Over the last decade or so Mx. Willow's work has focused on equity and change for transgender and queer clients throughout their reproductive lives.
Their work began at a micro level working directly with clients as a doula, childbirth educator and patient advocate. From that vantage point it became quite evident that while supporting each client was important work, there were larger issues to tackle. What work could be done related to the systems that continued acting as a barrier to the fair and equitable treatment that all folks deserve?
With that question in mind they focused on training the providers and coaching the healthcare facilities that were offering a range of reproductive services from abortion to infertility support and everything in between. Working directly with their community remained a priority for Mx. Willow leading them to create a transgender-specific sexual health curricula, by and for the community.
They are excited to continue offering education to the gender expansive community as well as working with those interfacing with this population.
