Psychology & Sexuality is an international journal which publishes research related to a range of topics asocaited with psychology and sexuality. The journal was founded in 2010 as an outlet for critical, international and interdisciplinary approaches to the psychological study of sexuality, and over time has become a key outlet for pioneering research on sexuality. The current editorial team honours this legacy and particularly invites work that fits within our vision to foreground the following broad topical areas:
The psychological experience of sexuality: studies that foreground lived experience and situate data in context
- Experiences of sexual desire, fantasy and attraction
- Development of sexual identities
- Experiences of stigma and prejudice (from the target's perspective)
- Experiences of resilience rooted in both individual and community
- Diverse sexual behaviours, practices and identities
- Sexual subcultures and communities
Sexuality and technology: studies that foreground the role of technology, especially social technologies, in the experience and development of sexual identities and practices.
The cultural psychology of sexuality: studies that consider questions of cultural variability and particularity, indigenous and non-Western sexualities, intersectional and decolonial approaches to sexuality.
Theoretical, conceptual, historical studies of psychology and sexuality: papers that address theoretical, conceptual and historical issues focussed on psychology and sexuality.
The following types of submissions will not be considered in the journal:
- Work that does not take a primarily psychological approach or attend to psychological concepts
- Work that aggregates "LGBTQ+" experiences, not attending to diversity within
- Work that focuses solely on gender with little or no consideration of sexuality
- Work that focusses solely on sexual health
- Work that delegitimizes sexual and/or gender diversity
- Work that uncritically relies on WEIRD (i.e. Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) samples, without acknowledging limitations
- Work that does not acknowledge the historical and social context of the research
Please note that all submissions must follow reporting standards articulated for qualitative and mixed-methods research by the American Psychological Association (see Levitt et al., 2018). The geographic location of data collection must be specified in the title and/or abstract of all submissions.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by an editor, and, if thought suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least two independent expert referees.
All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
