大众媒体和学术文献经常将男性描绘成非关系性或随意性行为的快乐受益者——这种观点与传统的男性气质观念是一致的。这项研究检验了这一概念的有效性，通过半结构化访谈来探索 19 名大学年龄的男性定义和制定“约炮”和“有好处的朋友”脚本的方式。男人的定义反映了这些脚本的标准和替代概念，他们的经验表明意图和结果的可变性。虽然少数人接受不附加任何条件的非关系脚本，但大多数人拒绝该脚本或制定允许更大关系联系的修订版本。此外，他们的经历并不都是积极的，也不都是缺乏情感联系的。这些替代性的规定挑战了媒体和一些实证研究中描绘的亲男性的、普遍积极的非关系性概念。
Popular media and academic literature often portray men as happy beneficiaries of nonrelational or casual sex-a view that is consistent with traditional notions of masculinity. This study examined the validity of this notion, using semistructured interviews to explore ways that 19 college-age men defined and enacted "hooking up" and "friends with benefits" scripts. Men's definitions reflected both standard and alternate conceptions of these scripts, and their experiences indicated variability in intentions and outcomes. Whereas a few men embraced the no-strings-attached nonrelational scripts, most rejected the script or enacted an amended version that allowed for greater relational connection. Further, their experiences were not all positive and were not all devoid of emotional connection. These alternative enactments challenge the pro-masculine, universally positive conceptualization of nonrelational sex portrayed in the media and in some empirical research.
