异性关系中的性别权力不平衡是对性别问题有敏感认识的减少性传播感染风险干预措施的一个关键目标。在加拿大土著青年中，性行为的性别方面尚未得到探讨，与其他加拿大青年相比，他们感染性传播感染的风险更高。我们使用了对15名男性和15名女性土著年轻人进行深入定性访谈的数据，以探讨性别化的性行为及其对减少性传播感染的影响。存在普遍的“双重标准”，即年轻男性被认为是性侵犯，年轻女性被认为是抵制性进步;但我们也观察到“替代”或非霸权行为。具体而言，年轻妇女往往非常积极地参与性谈判，可以拒绝使用避孕套，有时还迫使其男性伴侣不要使用避孕套。年轻男子也描述了被强迫性行为的对象，并不总是以消极的方式看待女性性欲，也不总是接受性。在我们的样本中，性别化的性态度和行为比文献中通常描述的要复杂得多。干预工作需要更现实地考虑到年轻人之间发生的性互动。
Gendered power imbalances in heterosexual relationships are a key target of gender-sensitive STI risk reduction interventions. Gendered aspects of sexual behaviour have not been explored among Canadian indigenous young people, who are at elevated risk for STI relative to other young Canadians. We used data from in-depth qualitative interviews with 15 male and 15 female indigenous young people to explore gendered sexual behaviour and its implications for STI reduction. There was a pervasive 'double standard' where young men were expected to be sexually aggressive and young women were expected to resist sexual advances; but we also observed 'alternative' or non-hegemonic behaviours. Specifically, young women were often very active participants in sexual negotiations, could refuse condom use and sometimes pressured their male partners to not use condoms. Young men also described being the object of coerced sex, and did not always perceive female sexual desire in negative terms, and were not always receptive to sex. The gendered sexual attitudes and behaviours in our sample were much more complex than usually described in the literature. Intervention work needs to take more realistic account of the sexual interactions that occur between young people.
