Sexual functioning research has been slow to address sizeism within its volumes. Much of the sexual health science has adopted a weight normative model rather than a weight inclusive model. The purpose of this study was to, through systematic literature review, describe the sexual functioning research landscape with respect to weight inclusivity. The review included three databases (Google Scholar, Medline and Ebsco) between 2010 and 2020. Each article was double coded for weight inclusivity and sexual functioning. Sixty-seven articles met the criteria and were included in analysis. The articles, overall, only endorsed weight inclusive tenets 16 % of the time. Articles were most weight inclusive when discussing sexual satisfaction (22.5 %). Meanwhile, when discussing sexual arousal, the articles were the least weight inclusive (16.7 %). These findings suggest there is needs to be greater education and intention for sex educators, therapists, and clinicians, to explore and enhance body positivity and sexual health.
性功能研究在其研究范围内对体型歧视问题的关注一直较为滞后。许多性健康科学采用的是体重规范模式,而非体重包容模式。本研究的目的是通过系统的文献综述,描述在体重包容性方面的性功能研究概况。该综述涵盖了2010年至2020年期间的三个数据库(谷歌学术、医学期刊数据库和EBSCO)。每篇文章都针对体重包容性和性功能进行了双重编码。67篇文章符合标准并被纳入分析。总体而言,这些文章仅在16%的情况下认可体重包容原则。在讨论性满意度时,文章的体重包容性最强(22.5%)。与此同时,在讨论性唤起时,文章的体重包容性最弱(16.7%)。这些发现表明,性教育工作者、治疗师和临床医生需要接受更多教育并增强意识,以探索和提升身体积极性及性健康。
