BADSEX - Investigating Bad Sex In Its Socio-legal Contexts

性侵犯是当今最紧迫的社会问题之一。同意被认为是可接受的性行为的关键标志。因此，性行为主要被概念化为自愿和想要的或非自愿和不想要的（即，强奸）。但是，尽管是双方自愿的，性经历会有害吗？指出了一系列位于刑法范围之外的令人不安的性经历，“不良性行为”的维度最近引起了公众的关注。虽然人们对性侵犯了解很多，但对那些对女性有负面影响的性经历的灰色地带却知之甚少。利用跨学科的基础（即，性研究、心理学、法律），拟议的项目将填补这一空白，从社会法律角度调查“不良性行为”。实现这一目标的关键一步是探索“不良性行为”的现象学。下一步，我的目标是将这些经验置于它们所处的文化和法律的背景中。因此，我的分析重点将是法律和社交媒体（即，Twitter）。首先，该项目将研究一个国家的传统或自由的性侵犯立法是否与人们的“糟糕的性”经历有关。然后，我将分析Twitter上关于“糟糕的性行为”的讨论，以探讨女性的“糟糕的性行为”经历是否被当作一个社会和政治问题来讨论。最后，在实验设计中，我将检查参与者是否判断性场景是否描述了“糟糕的性行为”或性侵犯，以及他们使用哪些线索来做出这一决定。所有拟议的研究将进行跨文化提供最大的多样性，并支持我的调查如何文化和社会法律因素塑造“坏的性“的经验，从而提供了一个特别严格的测试研究的现象。总之，该项目提出了理解性的灰色地带的基本新概念和方法。

What counts as sexual assault is one of today's most burning social issues. Consent is considered the crucial marker for acceptable sex.Thus, sex is primarily conceptualized as either consensual and wanted or non-consensual and unwanted (i.e., rape). But can sexualexperiences be harmful despite being consensual? Pointing to a range of troubling sexual experiences situated outside the remit ofcriminal law, the dimension of "bad sex" has recently gained public attention. While much is known about sexual assault, less isknown about those grey zones of sexual experiences that disproportionally affect women. Using an inter-disciplinary foundation (i.e.,sexuality research, psychology, law), the proposed project will fill this gap by investigating "bad sex" in its socio-legal contexts. Thecrucial step towards this goal is to explore the phenomenology of "bad sex". In a next step, I aim to frame those experiences in termsof the cultural and legal contexts in which they are situated. My focus of analysis will be thereby on the law and social media (i.e.,Twitter). First, the project will examine whether or not the traditional or liberal sexual assault legislation of a country is related topeople's "bad sex" experiences. I will then analyze "bad sex" discussions on Twitter to explore if women's "bad sex" experience isdebated as a social and political issue. Finally, in an experimental design, I will examine if participants judge whether a sexual scenariodescribes "bad sex" or sexual assault and which cues they are using to make this decision. All proposed studies will be conductedcross-culturally to provide maximum diversity and support my investigation into how cultural and socio-legal factors shape "bad sex"experiences, thus, offering a particularly rigorous test of the studied phenomena. Together, the project proposes essentially newideas and methods for understanding the greyer zones of sexuality.
