导言：尽管最近关注的是男男性行为者（MSM）中的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV），但在IPV文献中，男性和男性伴侣在很大程度上是缺席的。具体而言，对男男伴侣间IPV形成的二元因素的研究缺乏。方法：我们从2011年对亚特兰大约1000名同性恋和双性恋男性的调查中抽取了403名有主要伴侣的男同性恋/双性恋男性的子样本。最近（<12个月）身体和性IPV的经历和实施的逻辑回归模型检验了二元因素，包括种族差异、年龄差异和夫妻的社会网络特征，这些因素是影响IPV报告的关键协变量。结果：研究结果表明，如果男性与主要伴侣是不同种族的，那么他们更有可能报告身体暴力的行为，而主要伴侣的年龄与身体暴力的报告减少有关。拥有包含更多同性恋朋友的社交网络与IPV报告的显著减少有关，而由性伴侣或未出柜的同性恋朋友组成的社交网络则与IPV受害和犯罪报告的增加有关。结论：研究结果指出了影响男男伴侣中IPV报告的几个独特因素，并强调了针对男性伴侣的干预努力和预防计划的必要性，这一群体在研究和预防工作中都很大程度上缺失。
Introduction: Despite a recent focus on intimate partner violence (IPV) among men who have sex with men (MSM), the male-male couple is largely absent from the IPV literature. Specifically, research on dyadic factors shaping IPV in male-male couples is lacking. Methods: We took a subsample of 403 gay/bisexual men with main partners from a 2011 survey of approximately 1,000 gay and bisexual men from Atlanta. Logistic regression models of recent (<12 month) experience and perpetration of physical and sexual IPV examined dyadic factors, including racial differences, age differences, and social network characteristics of couples as key covariates shaping the reporting of IPV. Results: Findings indicate that men were more likely to report perpetration of physical violence if they were a different race to their main partner, whereas main partner age was associated with decreased reporting of physical violence. Having social networks that contained more gay friends was associated with significant reductions in the reporting of IPV, whereas having social networks comprised of sex partners or closeted gay friends was associated with increased reporting of IPV victimization and perpetration. Conclusion: The results point to several unique factors shaping the reporting of IPV within male-male couples and highlight the need for intervention efforts and prevention programs that focus on male couples, a group largely absent from both research and prevention efforts.
