与朋友的对话是年轻男同性恋者获得性行为信息的重要来源，也是在成年期分享性健康规范的关键方式。然而，只有当朋友能够公开谈论性行为时，他们才能提供这种支持。我们通过对不同种族的年轻男同性恋者和他们最好的朋友的定性访谈来探讨这个问题。使用性脚本，耻辱和成年初显的理论，我们研究了关于性的对话如何受到几个关键因素的阻碍或促进，包括判断，舒适/不适和接受性。男同性恋朋友有时会以评判的方式谈论无保护措施的性行为（例如，称朋友为“荡妇”或“妓女”，因为他们在没有避孕套的情况下发生性行为）。在某些情况下，这种语言可以用来开玩笑，而在其他情况下，它会使朋友感到羞耻，并阻碍进一步沟通性风险。女性朋友很少公开评判，但经常在谈论男同性恋时感到不舒服，这可能会使这个话题成为禁忌。当朋友通过幽默或支持性的提问鼓励性交流时，性交流最有效。利用这些发现，我们展示了判断主义和不适如何产生具有矛盾规范的性脚本，并可能阻碍在生命中最重要的发育时期进行性探索的朋友的支持。
Conversations with friends are a crucial source of information about sexuality for young gay men, and a key way that sexual health norms are shared during emerging adulthood. However, friends can only provide this support if they are able to talk openly about sexuality. We explored this issue through qualitative interviews with an ethnically diverse sample of young gay men and their best friends. Using theories of sexual scripts, stigma, and emerging adulthood, we examined how conversations about sex could be obstructed or facilitated by several key factors, including judgmentalism, comfort/discomfort, and receptivity. Gay male friends sometimes spoke about unprotected sex in judgmental ways (e.g., calling a friend “slut” or “whore” for having sex without condoms). In some cases, this language could be used playfully, while in others it had the effect of shaming a friend and obstructing further communication about sexual risk. Female friends were rarely openly judgmental, but often felt uncomfortable talking about gay male sexuality, which could render this topic taboo. Sexual communication was facilitated most effectively when friends encouraged it through humor or supportive questioning. Drawing on these findings, we show how judgmentalism and discomfort may generate sexual scripts with contradictory norms, and potentially obstruct support from friends around sexual exploration during a period of life when it may be most developmentally important.
