本定性研究探讨了拉丁裔移民男性与男性发生性行为（MSM）的伴侣选择。深入访谈的对象是出生在巴西（n = 10）、哥伦比亚（n = 14）或多米尼加共和国（n = 9）、居住在纽约大都会区的男性。三个国家的男男性行为者（9名巴西人，11名哥伦比亚人，5名多米尼加人）分别进行了一次焦点小组讨论。扎根理论方法揭示了与伴侣选择有关的三个主要主题。第一个是关于拉丁裔和盎格鲁-美国男性在性接触和性关系中的行为的刻板印象。参与者认为拉丁美洲人更深情、更有激情，而他们认为英美男性更独立、更实际。这些文化差异有时会导致对拉丁裔伴侣的偏爱。第二个主题涉及对国家群体的刻板印象，包括对巴西人性感和肉欲的期望，以及对多米尼加人有大阴茎的期望。在其他关于有色人种男同性恋者的研究中发现，种族和国家的刻板印象与性物化的经历有关。第三个主题讨论了男性特征在性吸引力和伴侣选择中的重要性。对不符合标准男性身体或行为表现的娘娘腔男性的负面情绪反映了同性恋社区内外的一种耻辱。这些发现表明，性别和种族刻板印象在塑造伴侣选择方面发挥着重要作用，并对性风险和关系形成产生影响。
This qualitative study explored partner selection in a sample of immigrant Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). In-depth interviews were conducted with men living in the greater New York metropolitan area who had been born in Brazil (n = 10), Colombia (n = 14), or the Dominican Republic (n = 9). One focus group was conducted with MSM from each of the three countries (9 Brazilian, 11 Colombian, and 5 Dominican participants). A grounded theory approach revealed three main themes relating to partner selection. The first concerned stereotypes of how Latino and Anglo-American men tend to behave in their sexual encounters and relationships. The participants perceived Latinos to be more affectionate and passionate, whereas they saw Anglo-American men as more independent and practical. These cultural discrepancies sometimes resulted in a preference for Latino partners. A second theme concerned stereotypes of the national groups, including expectations that Brazilians would be sexy and sensual and that Dominicans would have large penises. As found in other research on MSM of color, ethnic and national stereotypes were associated with experiences of sexual objectification. The third theme addressed the importance of masculine characteristics in sexual attraction and partner selection. Negative feelings towards effeminate men who did not conform to normative male physical or behavioral presentation reflect a stigma found inside and outside of the gay community. These findings suggest that gender and ethnic stereotypes play an important role in shaping partner choice and have implications for sexual risk and relationship formation.
