利用女性自我认同的性身份,目前的研究比较了第一次同性性接触的动机以及相关的经验结果。我们还研究了性动机和经验结果之间的关系是否不同的功能,妇女的性身份地位。参与者为女性(N= 123),年龄18-29岁(M= 21.59,SD = 3.33),自我报告有同性性接触史。大约27%的妇女被确定为纯异性恋(即EH),35%的妇女被确定为主要是异性恋(即“主要是异性恋”[MH]),38%的妇女被确定为纯或主要是女同性恋/男同性恋或双性恋(即LGB)。参与者完成了在线调查。MH和LGB妇女报告的第一次同性性接触,更多的动机是亲密和探索的动机,相对于EH妇女。与MH和LGB女性相比,EH与第一个同性伴侣的性活动也较少。亲密和探索的动机与积极的经验成果在第一次同性接触。动机和经验的结果之间的关联没有主持的性别身份。研究结果有助于理解女性的第一次同性性接触的动机和经验,并表明并非所有有同性性接触史的女性随后都认同少数性别身份标签。
Using women’s self-identified sexual identity, the current study compares motivations for first same-sex sexual encounters as well as associated experiential outcomes. We also examine whether relations between sexual motivations and experiential outcomes differ as a function of women’s sexual identity status. Participants were women (N= 123), ages 18–29 (M= 21.59, SD = 3.33), who self-reported a history of same-sex sexual contact. Approximately 27% of women identified as exclusively heterosexual (i.e. EH), 35% as primarily heterosexual (i.e. ‘mostly heterosexual’ [MH]), and 38% as exclusively or primarily lesbian/gay, or bisexual (i.e. LGB). Participants completed an online survey. MH and LGB women reported first same-sex sexual encounters that were more motivated by intimacy and exploration motives, relative to EH women. Compared to MH and LGB women, EH also engaged in fewer sexual activities with their first same-sex partner. Intimacy and exploration motives were related to positive experiential outcomes during first same-sex contact. Associations between motivations and experiential outcomes were not moderated by sexual identity. Findings contribute to understanding motivations and experiences related to women’s first same-sex sexual encounters and show that not all women with a history of same-sex sexual contact subsequently identify with a minority sexual identity label.
