Computer-Mediated Consent to Sex: The Context of Tinder [PDF]

In Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, Vol. 5, CSCW1, Article 189, 2021. ACM, New York, NY, USA, 2021
This paper reports an interview study about how consent to sexual activity is computer-mediated. The study's context of online dating is chosen due to the prevalence of sexual violence, or nonconsensual sexual activity, that is associated with dating app-use.

LGBTQ-AI? Exploring Expressions of Gender and Sexual Orientation in Chatbots [PDF]

, 2021
Chatbots are popular machine partners for task-oriented and social interactions. Human-human computer-mediated communication research has explored how people express their gender and sexuality in online social interactions, but little is known about whether and in what way chatbots do the same.

Contrastive Language-Vision AI Models Pretrained on Web-Scraped Multimodal Data Exhibit Sexual Objectification Bias [PDF]

ACM FAccT 2023, 2022
Nine language-vision AI models trained on web scrapes with the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) objective are evaluated for evidence of a bias studied by psychologists: the sexual objectification of girls and women, which occurs when a person's human characteristics, such as emotions, are disregarded and the person is treated as a body. We

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.

Human Sexual Contact Network as a Bipartite Graph [PDF]

Physica A 308 (2002) 483-488, 2001
A simple model to encapsulate the essential growth properties of \emph{the web of human sexual contacts} is presented. In the model only heterosexual connection is considered and represented by a random growing bipartite graph where both male-female contact networks grow simultaneously.

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.

SeCoNet: A Heterosexual Contact Network Growth Model for Human Papillomavirus Disease Simulation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Human Papillomavirus infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and causes serious complications such as cervical cancer in vulnerable female populations in regions such as East Africa. Due to the scarcity of empirical data about sexual relationships in varying demographics, computationally modelling the underlying sexual contact ...

Human-AI Interaction for User Safety in Social Matching Apps: Involving Marginalized Users in Design [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this position paper we intend to advocate for participatory design methods and mobile social matching apps as ripe contexts for exploring novel human-AI interactions that benefit marginalized groups. Mobile social matching apps like Tinder and Bumble use AI to introduce users to each other for rapid face-to-face meetings.

The sexy and formidable male body: men's height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits [PDF]

Biol. Lett. 21 (2025) 2-7
On average men are taller and more muscular than women, which confers on them advantages related to female choice and during physical competition with other men. Sexual size dimorphisms such as these come with vulnerabilities due to higher maintenance and developmental costs for the sex with the larger trait.

Modeling of Dynamic Networks based on Egocentric Data with Durational Information [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Modeling of dynamic networks -- networks that evolve over time -- has manifold applications in many fields. In epidemiology in particular, there is a need for data-driven modeling of human sexual relationship networks for the purpose of modeling and simulation of the spread of sexually transmitted disease.
