Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion have no issues telling men how they can satisfy women. While WAP is considered vulgar and crude by some, the overall message is about outspoken intersectional feminism based on sex positivity and empowerment. Unapologetic of women’s sexuality, Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion promote women’s right to sexuality and pleasure through power. They reject the male gaze and reverse the societal narrative by describing their standards for men’s sexual performance and stature. While the over-sexualization and objectification of women is societally acceptable in the patriarchy, Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion’s rap in WAP aims to encourage the audience to critically think of how to combat and dismantle the power imbalance between genders in the current societal structure. Presenting women being assertive and demanding as a positive thing, as well as empowering women to own their sexuality places them in a dominant position which is uncommon in popular culture, especially in Hip-Hop. It can be debated that the over-sexualization and objectification of men is just as inhumane as it is for women, but is that not how sympathy is created? By putting oneself in another’s shoes? This tactic has been criticized in the media. Within the patriarchy, it is socially acceptable for men to be open about having their sexual needs met by women. The promotion of women owning their sexuality and therefore, advocating for themselves and their desires so that they can be satisfied by their partner, is actively discouraged. What Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion are aiming to portray in WAP is the double standards enforced by men within the patriarchy which frames power as a positive in men and a negative in women, and make a point of this by extensively critiquing this in their song. While men are comfortable objectifying women and holding power over them, women making men feel uncomfortable when their power is stolen, is a means by which men can be compelled to increase their emotional intelligence and social awareness. There is no shame in taking power from men when it comes to the lyrics in WAP, and for research purposes, this makes an interesting and unique dynamic to thematically analyze through sexual script theory.

The digital era has significantly transformed many aspects of society, including prostitution, with the internet emerging as a central platform for the trade of sexual services. This shift has introduced new challenges for social workers tasked with supporting women involved in online prostitution. This study investigates social workers' approaches to identifying and assisting these women, highlighting the difficulties encountered in this context. Through focus groups discussions, the research reveals that while social workers aim to provide effective support, their methods are often shaped by preconceived notions and a lack of comprehensive understanding of online prostitution. Additionally, the study examines how social workers' approaches are influenced by their perceptions and connections to social constructionist theory and sexual script theory. The findings indicate that traditional approaches may be insufficient to address the complexities associated with online prostitution, underscoring the need for specialized professional development. The study emphasizes the importance of nuanced and empathetic strategies to better cater to the unique experiences and needs of women involved in online prostitution.

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning har visat att parrelationer och sexualliv påverkats efter att den ena i förhållandet förvärvat en hjärnskada. Det kan finnas en diskrepans mellan parets olika syn på vad som är problematiskt i förhållandet. Ofta har hjärnskadan medfört att partnern fått ett ökat ansvar och därmed även en rollförändring.Syfte och metod: Syftet med studien är att belysa hur partners till personer som förvärvat en hjärnskada upplever parrelationen med särskilt fokus på det gemensamma sexuallivet. Studien bygger på åtta individuella intervjuer med partners till personer som i vuxen ålder förvärvat en hjärnskada. Resultat: De övergripande resultaten visar att den förvärvade hjärnskadan påverkat parets dagliga liv. De flesta uppgav att även sexuallivet påverkats, både det gemensamma och partnerns egen sexualitet. Detta har hanterats på olika sätt. En balansgång framträdde mellan att se till det bästa för relationen, och att se till individuella behov. Två olika inställningar till sexuallivet framkom. Å ena sidan ansågs sexuella aktiviteter vara något som skulle komma spontant, och å andra sidan att sexuallivet liksom andra aktiviteter behövde planeras. / Background: Earlier research has shown that relations and sexual life has been affected after one of the partners has acquired a brain injury. There might be a discrepancy between the partners as to what is problematic in the relationship. Often the brain injury has caused the partner to take greater responsibility, therefore also a change in roles. Purpose and method: The purpose of the study is to show how partners to people with brain injury experience their relationship, with focus on the sexual life. The study is based on eight individual’s interviews with partners to people who have acquired a brain injury in their adult life. Results: The overall results show that the brain injury has affected the couple’s daily life. Most said that their sexual life had also been affected, both the mutual and the partners own sexuality. There are different ways to cope with this. A balancing act was shown between a person’s individual needs and the needs of the partner. Two different points of view were expressed about the sexual life. On the one hand sexual activities were seen as something spontaneous, on the other hand, like so many other things, it needed planning.

This study explores the social approval of internet dating through the ranking of vignette scenarios. The scenarios are manipulated by the conditions of face-to-face interaction, presence of mutual acquaintance, and use of internet technology. Measures of legitimacy, predicted longevity, and social perception test for changes in attitudes of the varied ways in which a hypothetical couple meets. One of seven randomly distributed scenarios was ranked by a total of 346 undergraduates to disentangle the above conditions and test for an effect on social approval. Situated in the framework of cultural adaptation, script theory and the saturated self, support is found for low cultural approval of internet dating. Conditions of face-to-face interaction, issues of trust, and affinity to the internet demonstrate clear effects on the approval of relationships formed through internet dating.

Bakgrund: I palliativ vård kan aspekter av sexualitet aktualiseras. Riktlinjer för palliativ vård säger att sexualitet bör beaktas i arbetet. Tidigare forskning visar att inkludering av sexualitet i vården är bristfällig och det finns en kunskapslucka om hur det ser ut inom palliativ vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av och uppfattningar om arbete med sexualitet inom palliativ vård. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ design med induktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet inhämtades genom tre fokusgruppsintervjuer med elva sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom palliativ vård i södra Sverige. Intervjuerna analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet diskuterades analytiskt genom teoretiska begreppet sexuella skript. Resultat: Resultatet visar att arbete med sexualitet inom palliativ vård omgärdas av en ambivalens om relevans och betydelse vilket visar sexualitetens oklara plats. Behov av stödjande insatser för patient och närstående identifierades och beskriver en sexualitet i förändring. Arbete kopplat till sexualitet görs till viss del men bristen av det är mer framträdande. Metoder, ansvar och hinder för att inkludera sexualitet framkommer och drivs av en vilja att göra rätt. Slutsats: Ökad kunskap och synliggörande av sexualitet behövs för att motverka att det är föreställningar om sexualitet i livets slutskede och inte kunskap som blir vägledande till om och hur sexualitet inkluderas i arbetet inom palliativ vård.Nyckelord: fokusgruppsintervjuer, helhetssyn, palliativ vård, sexualitet, sexuella script, sjuksköterskor. / Background: In palliative care, aspects of sexuality can be raised. Guidelines for palliative care say that sexuality should be heeded in the work. Previous research shows that inclusion of sexuality in healthcare is deficient and there is a knowledge gap on how it appears in palliative care. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate nurses’ experiences and perceptions of work with sexuality in palliative care. Method: The study has a qualitative design with an inductive approach. The empirical material was obtained through three focus group interviews with eleven nurses working in palliative care in southern Sweden. The interviews were analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. The result was discussed analytically through the theoretical concept sexual script. Result: The result shows that work with sexuality in palliative care is surrounded by an ambivalence of relevance and meaning that shows the unclear place of sexuality. The need for supportive efforts for patients and related persons was identified and describes a sexuality in change. Work associated to sexuality is done to some extent, but the lack of it is more prominent. Methods, responsibilities and barriers to include sexuality appear and are driven by a desire to do the right thing. Conclusion: Increased knowledge and visibility of sexuality is needed to counteract that there are notions of sexuality in the final stages of life and not knowledge that will guide if and how sexuality is included in work of palliative care. Keywords: focus group interviews, holistic-view, nurses, palliative care, sexuality, sexual script.

Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) definierar sexuell hälsa som individens rätt till sitt eget sexuella uttryck och att njuta av sin sexualitet. Till detta räknas möjligheten att njuta av säkert sex fritt från tvång, diskriminering och våld. Alla människor behöver få möjlighet att uppleva sexualitet på flera sätt, både utifrån könsidentitet och roller, sexuell läggning, njutning och intimitet. Precis som alla andra har även personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF) sexuella rättigheter, vilket förtydligas i FN konventionen om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning. Trots detta så finns det inte några formuleringar kring just sexuella rättigheter i LSS. För personer med IF blir på så vis personalens förhållningssätt och syn på sexualitet viktigt för de möjligheter som ges när det kommer till att uppleva sin sexualitet. Det är ur detta som denna studie har sin utgångspunkt. Studiens syfte är att belysa och identifiera förhållningssätt bland personal inom gruppbostäder enligt LSS, när det kommer till intellektuell funktionsnedsättning och sexuell hälsa. Materialet till studien har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med vinjettfrågor som sedan analyserats. Resultatet tyder överlag på normkritiska och tillåtande förhållningssätt. Personalen uttrycker en öppenhet som motsäger den tabu som annars kan antas omge ämnet. Av resultatet framkom även att fördomsfrihet förespråkas, allas rätt till sin egen sexualitet och att stöd ska ges utifrån varje individs behov. Vidare framkom även en osäkerhet angående verksamhetens riktlinjer kring sexuell hälsa, där personal menar att det snarare är det egna engagemanget som skapar öppenheten. / The World Health Organization (WHO) defines sexual health as the individual's right to their own sexual expression and to enjoy their sexuality. This includes the possibility of enjoying safe sex free from coercion, discrimination and violence. All people need the opportunity to experience sexuality in several ways, both based on gender identity and roles, sexual orientation, pleasure and intimacy. Like everyone else, people with intellectual disabilities (ID) also have sexual rights, as clarified by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Despite this, there are no wordings on sexual rights in LSS. For people with ID, the staff's approach and view of sexuality becomes important for the opportunities that are given when it comes to experiencing their sexuality. This is where this study is based. The aim of the study is to highlight and identify attitudes among staff within group homes in accordance with LSS, when it comes to intellectual disability and sexual health. The material for the study has been collected through semi-structured interviews with case descriptions that have since been analyzed. The results indicate norm-critical and permissive approaches. The staff expresses an openness that contradicts the taboo that might otherwise be assumed to surround the subject. The results also showed that open-mindedness is advocated, everyone's right to their own sexuality and that support should be given based on each individual's needs. Furthermore, uncertainty arose concerning the guidelines regarding sexual health, where staff believe that it is rather their own commitment that creates transparency.

De första 18 åren av en människas liv präglas av fysiska förändringar som bidrar till nya mentala tankeprocesser kring sex, sexualitet och relationer. Denna förändringsprocess som människan går igenom skapar en nyfunnen medvetenhet om sin egen och andras sexualitet. I en tid som definieras av förändringar på denna nivå är det inte ovanligt att privata och intima frågor dyker upp och det kan då vara skönt att ha en opartisk vuxen att prata med. Denna opartiska vuxen kan vara skolkurator.  Denna studie ämnar att, med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer, få en ökad förståelse för hur ett urval av skolkuratorer i Sverige väljer att arbeta med frågor kring sexualitet och sexuell hälsa. Studien avser även att undersöka om samtalet kring sexualitet och sexuell hälsa bör ske i en skolmiljö och om det är relevant för skolkuratorns yrke. Resultaten visar att skolkuratorerna som deltagit i studien har olika syn på relevansen av sexualitet och sexuell hälsa för deras arbete. Det framkom finnas ett samband mellan tidigare yrkeserfarenheter och hur en skolkurator väljer att utforma sitt arbete. En annan slutsats som kom fram i denna studie var att skolkuratorernas arbetsbeskrivning inte anger några tydliga ramar kring vad som ska ingå i arbetet, vilket ger yrkesutövaren stort utrymme att forma sina egna arbetssätt. / The first 18 years of a human being's life is characterized by physical changes that contribute to new mental thought processes concerning sex, sexuality and relationships. This process of change that the human goes through creates a newfound awareness of one’s own and others’ sexuality. In a time that is defined by changes on this level, it is not uncommon for private and intimate questions to arise and it can be nice to have an impartial adult to talk to. This impartial adult can be the school counselor.  The aim of this study is to, with the help of qualitative interviews, gain an increased understanding of how a selection of school counselors in Sweden choose to work with issues surrounding sexuality and sexual health. The study also intends to investigate whether the conversation regarding sexuality and sexual health is supposed to take place in a school environment and whether it is relevant to the school counselor's profession. The results show that the school counselors who participated in the study have different views on the relevance of sexuality and sexual health to their work. There seemed to be a correlation between previous professional experiences and how a school counselor chooses to design their work. Another conclusion that was reached in this study was that the school counselors' job description does not specify any clear framework around what should be included in the work, which gives the professional a lot of room to mold their own working methods.

Young men and women growing up in Sweden today have to face several difficult issues regarding their sexuality, yet, it is rather unexplored how they navigate through them. Pornography, the focus of this study, is widely used by both young men and women. However, few studies are examining young people’s own narratives of their encounters with pornography. The aim of this study was therefore to explore young women’s experiences of pornography, as well as how they believe pornography affects both themselves and other adolescents in terms of sexuality and sexual experiences. Seven young women between the age of 17-18 were interviewed for this study and their answers were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results showed that the participants experienced a predominately negative effect of pornography on their sexual lives. Due to the participants’ feminist moral values, their pornography consumption caused them strong feelings of shame. Further, they all felt pressured to adopt a supporting role in sex and to perform in line with a pornographic script, thus compromising their opportunity to self-pleasure, ability to consent, and claim of sexual agency. It also became evident how difficult it is to navigate through the conflicting roles within a postfeminist media culture, with regard to feminism, heterosexual gender norms, and the strong ideal of being an “agent” in sex. The results highlight the need for social change rather than individualized responsibility, in the pursuit of every person’s right to sexual integrity and sexual self-determination.

Tillgängligheten av pornografi (porr) har ökat, inte minst på grund av internet. Studier visar att de flesta svenska män tittar då och då på porr, men att det finns också en stor del som tittar mycket mer. De som är högkonsumenter är de som tittar mer eller mindre dagligen och den här gruppen har visat sig må sämre och vissa fall har svårt att sluta titta. I den offentliga debatten har även porrkonsumtion problematiserats då den anses stärka negativa attityder mot kvinnor och bidra till ett förskönande av våld mot kvinnor. Den här kvalitativa studien, består av djupintervjuer med sju deltagare som är dömda för någon form av brott i nära relation. Den har som syfte att undersöka hur män som dömts för sexualbrott eller våld i nära relation påverkats av att ha tittat på porr. Resultatet visar att det bland deltagarna finns en tydlig koppling mellan porrkonsumtion och våld samt att porr motverkar en positiv sexuell hälsa. Porrkonsumtionen har resulterat i att deltagarna har fått svårigheter med relationer samt att de har använt sig av maladaptiva copingstrategier för att hantera obehag. Porr har utvecklat deltagarnas egna sexuella skript till att tillåta en gränsförskjutning för vad som uppfattas vara sund sexualitet. Gränsförskjutningen har genererat en upptagenhet av sex och porr samt att deltagarna har begått gränsöverskridande sexuella handlingar som har inneburit stora negativa konsekvenser för dem själva. / The availability of pornography (porn) have increased, not least because of the internet. Studies have shown that most swedish men watch porn occasionally, but there is also them who are watching much more. They are extensive consumers with more or less daily consumption and this group has been shown to fell worse and, in most cases, have difficulty stopping viewing. In the public debate, porn consumption has been problematized as it is considered to strengthen negative attitudes towards women and it contribute to glorifies violence towards women. This qualitative study with in-depths interview with seven participants, convicted of some sort of violence in intimate relationships, with the purpose to examine how these men are affected by the viewing of porn. The result shows that there is a clear connection between the consumption of porn and violence and that porn affect the sexual health in a negative way. Porn consumtion have affected the participant´s relationsships negativetly and porn is used in a maladaptive way to cope with discomfort. Porn have developed the participant´s sexual scripts to allow a boundary shift of what is considered healthy sexuality. The boundary shift has generated a preoccupation and the participants have commited cross-border in their sexual behaviours with negative consequences.
