The Web of Human Sexual Contacts [PDF]
Nature 411, 907-908 (2001), 2001 Many ``real-world'' networks are clearly defined while most ``social'' networks are to some extent subjective. Indeed, the accuracy of empirically-determined social networks is a question of some concern because individuals may have distinct perceptions of what constitutes a social link. One unambiguous type of connection is sexual contact.

Spreading of sexually transmitted diseases in heterosexual populations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA) 105, 1399
(2008), 2007 The spread of sexually transmitted diseases (e.g. Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, HIV) across populations is a major concern for scientists and health agencies. In this context, both data collection on sexual contact networks and the modeling of disease spreading, are intensively contributing to the search for effective immunization policies. Here, the

A comparison of three replication strategies in complex multicellular organisms: Asexual replication, sexual replication with identical gametes, and sexual replication with distinct sperm and egg gametes [PDF]
, 2007 This paper studies the mutation-selection balance in three simplified replication models. The first model considers a population of organisms replicating via the production of asexual spores. The second model considers a sexually replicating population that produces identical gametes.

A deep-learning approach to early identification of suggested sexual harassment from videos [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and sexual violence are prevalent problems in this day and age. Women's safety is an important issue that needs to be highlighted and addressed. Given this issue, we have studied each of these concerns and the factors that affect it based on images generated from movies.

Sex-specific recombination rates and allele frequencies affect the invasion of sexually antagonistic variation on autosomes [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology 26 (2013) 2428, 2013 The introduction and persistence of novel sexually antagonistic alleles can depend upon factors that differ between males and females. Understanding the conditions for invasion in a two-locus model can elucidate these processes. For instance, selection can act differently upon the sexes, or sex-linkage can facilitate the invasion of genetic variation ...

Evaluating distributional regression strategies for modelling self-reported sexual age-mixing [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The age dynamics of sexual partnership formation determine patterns of sexually transmitted disease transmission and have long been a focus of researchers studying human immunodeficiency virus. Data on self-reported sexual partner age distributions are available from a variety of sources.

The...Tinderverse?: Opportunities and Challenges for User Safety in Extended Reality (XR) Dating Apps [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Dating apps such as Tinder have announced plans for a dating metaverse: the incorporation of XR technologies into the online dating process to augment interactions between potential sexual partners across virtual and physical worlds. While the dating metaverse is still in conceptual stages we can forecast significant harms that it may expose daters to ...

Mathematical toy model inspired by the problem of the adaptive origins of the sexual orientation continuum [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science 3: 160403 (2016), 2015 Same-sex sexual behavior is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, but its adaptive origins remain a prominent puzzle. Here I suggest the possibility that same-sex sexual behavior arises as a consequence of the competition between an evolutionary drive for a wide diversity in traits, which improves the adaptability of a species, and a drive for sexual ...
