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.
