The prevalence of sexual media use, and factors associated with it, among Chinese young adults were studied in Hong Kong. Questions on use of sexual media were asked as part of a youth sexuality study conducted by the Family Planning Association in 1996. In a population-based cross-sectional study, 517 men and 447 women aged 18-27 years completed an anonymous structured self-administered questionnaire. The overall prevalence [95% confidence interval (CI)] of ever purchased or rented any type of sexual media was 57.8% (54.7-60.9). More men (70.2%; 95% CI: 66.3-74.2) than women (43.4%; 95% CI: 38.8-48.0) used sexual media. Of 31 independent variables tested by stepwise logistic regression, seven variables significantly predicted sexual media use: age (adjusted odds ratio OR = 1.5 for 21-24 and 1.8 for 25-28, versus 20 or below), male gender (OR = 3.0), number of sexual partner (OR = 2.2 for one and 2.8 for two or more partners), masturbation in the past week (OR = 3.2), being out of school (OR = 1.5), quarrel with family member in past 6 months (OR = 1.8), and religion (OR = 1.6 for no religion and 3.4 for traditional Chinese religion, versus Christians) (all adjusted OR:p < 0.05).

Introduction: Contraception discontinuation is a concern, especially if it occurs in breastfeeding women, thereby exposing them to a high risk of close and unwanted pregnancies. Our study aimed to measure the prevalence and identify the individual and community-level factors associated with the discontinuation of modern contraceptives among breastfeeding women.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of retrospective data of the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data from nine high-fertility rate countries, conducted mostly between 2018-2021.
: trans and gender diverse people's perspectives on sexual health services in the United Kingdom.

Objectives: Trans and/or gender diverse (T/GD) people in the UK are less likely to access sexual health services (SHS) than cisgender people and are more likely to report negative experiences. The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) developed expert recommendations for T/GD-inclusive SHS, but these lack service user perspectives. This study addressed this gap by asking T/GD people how SHS could be T/GD-inclusive.

But these platforms also facilitate the posting of divisive, harmful, and hateful messages, targeting groups and individuals, based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views. Hate content is not only a problem on the Internet, but also on traditional media, especially in places where the Internet is not widely available or in rural areas.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault are pervasive public health and human rights concerns that disproportionately impact trans and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals. Experiences of cisgenderism and transphobia, compounded by racism and other forms of discrimination and structural violence, can hinder access to appropriate supports in a safe and non-stigmatising environment across a variety of sectors, including but not limited to healthcare, social services, criminal justice, and legal. TGD individuals may also have unique health and social needs requiring support that is not yet in place.
