Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An increasing number of individuals in Western societies are reaching adulthood without having transitioned to an active sex life. In a context where sexuality is socially valued, this situation often leads to psychological distress. This study aimed to document, from the perspective of health and social care professionals in Quebec, the characteristics and difficulties of heterosexual emerging adult virgins and the interventions provided. Seven sexologists and one social worker participated in semi-structured individual interviews. They had supported a total of 13 adult virgins aged between 19 and 29. A thematic analysis of the interviews yielded a portrait of these adults, particularly of their emotional and relational difficulties. It also highlighted essential clinical attitudes and skills for working with this population. This study emphasizes the importance for health and social care professionals to recognize the diversity of sexual trajectories and to develop inclusive, non-pathologizing, and sensitive clinical practices.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
