Book Synopsis The Gay Man's Guide to Open and Monogamous Marriage by : Michael Dale Kimmel
Download or read book The Gay Man's Guide to Open and Monogamous Marriage written by Michael Dale Kimmel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal gay marriage is still a relatively new phenomenon. As gay men who are now able to get married, we find ourselves in a bit of a quandary: for many male couples, sex is a lot more important for us than it is for heterosexuals. Two married men often have a stronger desire for sex - wanting more of it and with a wider variety of partners - than married opposite-sex couples. How does this work within the structure of a monogamous marriage? Is an open relationship a better structure for gay marriage? Assuming that gay marriages will emulate heterosexual marriages is neither a valid nor a helpful assumption. But, as gay men, where does that leave us? There are currently no “rule books” for how a marriage between two men could or should work. While there are lots of books about how to plan your gay wedding, there are virtually none that address what to do after the honeymoon is over (literally and figuratively). This book fills that void. It offers married gay couples (and gay men considering marriage) an easy-to-follow, practical framework that they can use to help create, adjust and structure their marriages. Using helpful examples and first-hand quotes throughout, Openly-gay psychotherapist Michael Dale Kimmel offers a roadmap for gay men who want to be married but have questions and concerns about monogamy and monotony.
Book Synopsis Minority Stress in the Lives of Gay and Lesbian Couples by : Joel A. Muraco
Download or read book Minority Stress in the Lives of Gay and Lesbian Couples written by Joel A. Muraco and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this dissertation is to examine minority stress in the lives of gay and lesbian individuals and couples. To do this I conducted three separate, but empirically and conceptually related studies using data from 68 self-identified gay men and lesbians. Of these, 38 participants were coupled (n = 19 couples). All three studies were informed by minority stress theory. In the first study I examined individual (N = 68) and partner (n = 38) correlates and associations with concern for safety because of sexual orientation and harassment because of sexual orientation. Comfort with homosexuality was the strongest negative predictor of concern for safety because of sexual orientation. Further, involvement with gay related activities was found to be the strongest positive predictor of harassment because of sexual orientation. In the next two studies I examined the daily influence of minority stress for same-sex couples (n = 19). In the second study I examined how daily public displays (PDA) of affection are associated with daily relationship satisfaction, daily concern for safety because of sexual orientation, and daily harassment because of sexual orientation. I found daily PDA to be positively associated with concurrent and lagged relationship satisfaction, positively associated with concurrent and lagged concern for safety, and concurrent, lagged, and prospective increases in harassment because of sexual orientation. In the third and final study I examined the moderating effect of daily relationship satisfaction on the relationships between daily concern for safety and harassment in predicting daily physical health and well-being. I find that daily concern for safety and harassment are not associated with daily physical health suggesting that the negative effects of minority stress on physical health are more cumulative and do not fluctuate from day-to-day. I also find that daily relationship satisfaction does moderate the relationship between daily concern for safety and harassment and their daily well-being in unexpected ways. Collectively, this dissertation illustrates the complex influence of minority stress in the lives of gay and lesbian individuals and couples in two ways: first, as it pertains to how personal characteristics and behaviors (e.g. involvement with gay related activities and engagement in PDA) are associated with minority stress overall and on a daily basis; second, by illustrating the daily influence of minority stress on daily physical health and well-being. In conclusion, in these studies I highlight the complexity of life and how minority stress, stress that is unique to gay men and lesbian individuals and couples, complicates otherwise beneficial behaviors. Further, I illustrate the long and short term ramifications minority stress has on gay men and lesbian individuals and couples.

This encyclopedia looks at issues of gender, identity, and psychological processes at the individual as well as the societal level, exploring topics such as how gender intersects with developmental processes both in infancy and childhood and throughout later life stages; the evolution of feminism and the men’s movement; the ways in which gender can affect psychological outcomes and influence behavior; and more.

Book Synopsis Minority Stress and Emotional Intimacy Among Individuals in Lesbian and Gay Couples by : Andrea Guschlbauer
Download or read book Minority Stress and Emotional Intimacy Among Individuals in Lesbian and Gay Couples written by Andrea Guschlbauer and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Individuals in lesbian and gay (LG) couples face a particular stress that is unique from their heterosexual counterparts: minority stress, the increased stress experienced as a result of living in an environment that is stigmatizing of their sexual orientation and identity. Research focused on LG individuals demonstrates far-reaching health implications of minority stress. However, there is limited literature examining the effects of minority stress on health among individuals in same-sex couples. Among heterosexual couples, stress negatively impacts health, relationship functioning, and intimacy. Emotional intimacy in particular has been linked to psychological and physical health in heterosexual couples. Among individuals in LG couples, emotional intimacy has been shown to be the most important predictor of relationship satisfaction. Taken together, there is reason to suppose that there is a relationship between minority stress, emotional intimacy, and relationship satisfaction among individuals in LG couples. As such, this study examined the interconnectedness of these three constructs as well as related health implications among 181 individuals in same-sex relationships. It was firstly hypothesized that experiences of minority stress would negatively predict relationship satisfaction and positively predict psychological distress, health symptoms, and health risk behavior. Secondly, it was hypothesized that emotional intimacy would positively predict relationship satisfaction, health symptoms, and health behavior and negatively predict psychological distress. Thirdly, experiences of minority stress were hypothesized to negatively predict emotional intimacy. Finally, it was hypothesized that emotional intimacy would mediate the relationship between minority stress and outcomes (relationship satisfaction, psychological functioning, health status, and health behavior). Hypothesis one was partially supported. Minority stress was not significantly related to relationship satisfaction or health outcomes, though experiences of discrimination and internalized homonegativity were significantly and positively correlated with psychological distress and the use of substances other than alcohol. In addition, the variable of experiences of discrimination was significantly and positively correlated with health symptoms.Hypothesis two also was partially supported. Emotional intimacy positively predicted relationship satisfaction but not any of the health outcomes.Hypothesis three also was partially supported. Internalized homonegativity and sexual orientation concealment were negatively related to emotional intimacy. However, experiences of discrimination were not related to emotional intimacy. Hypothesis four also was partially supported. Emotional intimacy mediated the relationship between internalized homonegativity and relationship satisfaction, health symptoms, and alcohol use. Emotional intimacy also mediated the relationship between sexual orientation concealment and relationship satisfaction. Emotional intimacy did not mediate the relationship between experiences of discrimination and rejection and outcomes or between the composite variable of the three minority stress components and outcomes.Findings from the current study highlight the importance of emotional intimacy among individuals in LG couples. The presence of emotional intimacy is associated with a decrease in the negative effect of internalized homonegativity and sexual orientation concealment on relationship satisfaction. Areas for future research are explored, and implications for future research, clinicians, and policy makers are explicated. " --
