Effective STD and pregnancy prevention efforts should benefit from knowledge of what motivates adolescents to have sex. Positive motivations, and how they differ by gender and sexual experience, are poorly understood.
A sample of 637 ninth graders were asked about their relationship goals, expectations of the degree to which sex would satisfy these goals and sexual experience. Three scales measured adolescents' goals for intimacy, sexual pleasure and social status within a romantic relationship. Another three scales measured expectations that sex would lead to these goals. Data were examined in analyses of variance and mixed models.
Participants valued intimacy the most, then social status and, finally, sexual pleasure. These relationship goals differed significantly by gender and sexual experience. Females valued intimacy significantly more and sexual pleasure less than males. Sexually experienced adolescents valued both intimacy and pleasure more than sexually inexperienced adolescents. Among females, but not males, sexually experienced adolescents valued the goal of social status less than those with no sexual experience did. Adolescents expected that sex would most likely lead to sexual pleasure, then intimacy and, finally, social status. Females and sexually inexperienced adolescents reported lower expectations that sex would meet goals than did males and sexually experienced participants.
Adolescents view intimacy, sexual pleasure and social status as important goals in a relationship. Many have strong positive expectations that sex would satisfy these goals. Prevention programs and providers should address the risks of sex in the context of expected benefits.
有效的性传播感染和怀孕预防措施应受益于对促使青少年发生性行为的动机的了解。积极动机以及它们如何因性别和性经历而异，目前了解甚少。
对637名九年级学生进行抽样调查，询问他们的恋爱目标、对性行为满足这些目标程度的期望以及性经历。三个量表衡量青少年在恋爱关系中对亲密感、性快感和社会地位的目标。另外三个量表衡量对性行为会实现这些目标的期望。数据在方差分析和混合模型分析中进行检验。
参与者最看重亲密感，其次是社会地位，最后是性快感。这些恋爱目标因性别和性经历有显著差异。女性比男性更看重亲密感，而对性快感的重视程度较低。有性经历的青少年比无性经历的青少年更看重亲密感和性快感。在女性中，而非男性中，有性经历的青少年对社会地位目标的重视程度低于无性经历的青少年。青少年预计性行为最有可能带来性快感，其次是亲密感，最后是社会地位。女性和无性经历的青少年报告称，性行为实现目标的期望低于男性和有性经历的参与者。
青少年将亲密感、性快感和社会地位视为恋爱关系中的重要目标。许多人对性行为能满足这些目标抱有强烈的积极期望。预防项目和服务提供者应在预期益处的背景下解决性行为的风险问题。
