Throughout life, women’s sexuality is more dependent on the existence and nature of a relationship with a partner than is that of men. The evidence that this is the case in adolescence, early adulthood, and middle and old age will be discussed in relation to these life stages. It may explain or result from the greater importance psychological (as opposed to biological) factors have on women’s sexuality as compared to men’s. Despite the overwhelming importance given in the United States to environmental as compared to biological variables in determining human behavior (McConaghy, 1987b), some of its theorists have considered the differences between the behavior of men and women to be genetically determined by the form of sexual activity selected in the evolution of human beings to enable the survival of their species (Knoth, Boyd, & Singer, 1988).

Age and Sex

More than 2 decades into the ongoing opioid epidemic, an estimated 2.1 million people are affected by opioid use disorder with a recordhigh number of deaths exceeding 93,000 in 2020 in the United States alone.1,2 First responders, including police, firefighters, and emergency medical services clinicians are often the first to provide assistance in opioid-relatedemergencies.However, the system inwhich first responders operate is poorly equipped to manage these encounters. Structurally, the protocol-based approach of first-responder care is not designed to manage the chronic and complex nature of addiction. As emergency care practices are rarely coupled with a clear path to effective long-term treatment options, emergency personnel provide frequent (and often repeated) care to these persons, repeatedly bearing witness to the devastating social and physical effects of opioid addiction. As a result, many emergency personnel feel frustrated and helplesswhen it comes to encounters involving opioid use disorder. In these trying circumstances, it is critical to understand emergency professionals’ attitudes and beliefs toward people who use opioids. In this issue, Metcalf et al’s “Compassion, Stigma, and Professionalism among Emergency Personnel Responding to the Opioid Crisis: An Exploratory Study in New Hampshire, USA” presents findings from a series of qualitative interviews with front-line emergency personnel regarding attitudes and beliefs toward people who use opioids. This study provides an important look at the experiences of emergency personnel in caring for those affected by opioid use disorder and offers a framework for exploring how these experiences may shape their beliefs and attitudes. This investigation is critically needed as emergency personnel often provide the first—and often the only—care for those struggling with opioid use disorder. From this exploratory work emerge 3 core themes: when caring for opioid abuse victims, emergency personnel struggle with (1) compassion, (2) stigma, and (3) professionalism. Compassionate beliefs included those that reflected a desire to alleviate suffering following the witnessing of another’s distress. Stigmatizing beliefs, defined as negative biases toward those who use opioids, also included the more nuanced categories of suspicious and cynical attitudes. Interestingly, these categorieswere notmutually exclusive among participants.
