随着艾滋病毒的出现，性健康运动和学校中的正规性教育努力将安全性行为的概念灌输到澳大利亚青年的集体头脑中。然而，这一概念目前的形式是相当有限的。我们认为，在这篇论文中，主要强调安全性行为的教育计划，使用安全套可能会适得其反，一些年轻的异性恋者有两个原因。首先，这一战略以男性为重点，可能无法很好地推广到年轻妇女，她们面临怀孕的特殊风险和制约性行为的严格社会性别规范。其次，针对年轻异性恋者的健康促进战略是基于性接触中理性决策的假设，掩盖了性唤起和欲望的非理性性质，以及从事性行为的年轻男女之间存在的不平等权力关系。512名农村高年级学生参加了这项研究，其中包括小组讨论性行为和调查项目，重点是安全性行为的含义和安全套的可获得性和使用。结果显示，尽管大部分学生认为安全套是安全的性行为，但许多人对使用安全套持矛盾态度。提出的理由涉及谈判问题、难以获得以及避孕套无法保护的风险，如名誉受损。也许，部分原因是，一些学生正在寻找不太安全的保护方法，如非正式的历史记录和一夫一妻制。有人认为，成功的性健康促进战略必须解决青年男女在性活跃时所面临的广泛关切，并考虑到青年人促成其性生活的社会背景。(C)1998年青少年服务专业人员协会。
With the advent of HIV, sexual health campaigns and formal sex education in schools have worked to instil the concept of safe sex into the collective minds of Australia's youth. However the concept in its present guise is a fairly limited one. We argue in this paper that the predominant emphasis in education programmes on safe sex as condom use may be counter-productive for some young heterosexuals for two reasons. First, this strategy is male-focused and may not extrapolate well to young women who face special risks around pregnancy and rigid societal gender norms which govern sexual behaviour. Second, health promotion strategies aimed at young heterosexuals are based on an assumption of rational decisionmaking in sexual encounters and obscure the non-rational nature of arousal and desire, and the unequal power relations that exist between young men and women engaging in sex. Five hundred and twelve senior rural students participated in the study which included group discussions about sexuality and survey items which focused on the meanings of safe sex and the accessibility and use of condoms. The results showed that though most students identified condoms with safe sex, many were ambivalent about using them. Reasons given related to problems of negotiation, difficulties of access, and the risks which condoms gave no protection from, such as a sullied reputation. Perhaps, partly because of this, some students were looking to less secure methods of protection such as informal history-taking and monogamy. It is argued that successful sexual health promotion strategies must address the broad spectrum of concerns facing young men and women when they become sexually active and that consideration be given to the social context in which young people conduce their sexual lives.
