儿童性行为和儿童性经历的研究变得越来越重要,因为我们对性虐待经历对儿童性行为发展的影响的了解有所增加。本文的主要目的是研究年轻人对 13 岁之前的性经历的回忆,包括单独的和共享的、相互的和强迫的。去年269名高中生回答了匿名问卷,平均年龄18.6岁; 82.9%的学生报告了单独的性经历,82.5%的学生有与另一个孩子共同的经历。大多数孩子都有与同龄朋友在一起的经历。女孩比男孩有更多的同性经历。 13% 的人表示有过被欺骗、贿赂、威胁或身体强迫参与的强迫经历。一些儿童(8.2%)曾强迫另一名儿童参与性活动。大多数人认为他们的童年经历很正常。还有6.3%的受访者曾与年长5岁以上的人有过不适当的性经历,其中大多数是女孩。性别差异在几个方面表现得很明显:女孩更经常受到强迫,她们感到更多的内疚,而且自慰的经验要少得多,而男孩在自己以及与同龄人的探索活动中更加积极。对于相当多的孩子来说,某种强制性的性经历似乎是成长的一部分,尽管一般来说,青春期前的几年似乎是频繁的相互性探索和实验的几年。
Childhood sexuality and children's sexual experiences have become increasingly important to study because our knowledge on the impact of sexually abusive experiences on children's developing sexuality has increased. The main aim of this paper was to study aspects of young adults' recollections of their sexual experiences before the age of 13, solitary and shared, mutual as well as coercive. Anonymous questionnaires were answered by 269 final year, senior high-school students, mean age 18.6 years; 82.9% of the students reported solitary sexual experiences and 82.5% had mutual experiences together with another child. Most of the children had their experiences together with a same-age friend. Girls had more same-sex experiences than boys did. Thirteen percent reported coercive experiences where they had been tricked, bribed, threatened, or physically forced into participation. Some children, 8.2%, had coerced another child into participation in sexual activities. The majority thought of their childhood experiences as normal. There were also 6.3% of the respondents who had had inappropriate sexual experiences with someone at least 5 years older, the majority being girls. Gender differences were evident in several respects: girls were more often coerced, they felt more guilt, and they had far less experience of masturbation, whereas boys were somewhat more active in explorative activities on their own as well as with peers. Some kind of coercive sexual experiences appears to be part of growing up for quite a few children, although in general the years before puberty seem to be years of frequent mutual sexual exploration and experimentation.
