This paper reports on data from a wider study of young people's heterosexual experiences in Ireland, but focuses in particular on issues of sexual coercion. Data were gathered from 29 focus group interviews with 102 young women and 124 young men and were analysed using a qualitative research strategy. Drawing on concepts of social coercion and interpersonal coercion, we argue that both female and male participants reported a general sense of social coercion to lose their virginity by a certain age. However, narratives of interpersonal coercion were far stronger in the case of the young women compared with their male counterparts, while the young men reported a particular type of social coercion that propelled them to subscribe to conventional heterosexual male behaviour. We argue that while the distinction between social coercion and interpersonal coercion is far from watertight, it is a useful conceptual tool in identifying broad variations in women's and men's sexually coercive experiences.
本文报告了对爱尔兰年轻人异性恋经历进行的一项更广泛研究的数据，但特别关注性胁迫问题。数据收集自对102名年轻女性和124名年轻男性进行的29次焦点小组访谈，并采用定性研究策略进行分析。借鉴社会胁迫和人际胁迫的概念，我们认为，男性和女性参与者都表示有一种普遍的社会压力，要在某个年龄前失去童贞。然而，与年轻男性相比，年轻女性的人际胁迫叙述要强烈得多，而年轻男性则报告了一种特殊类型的社会胁迫，这种胁迫促使他们遵循传统的异性恋男性行为。我们认为，虽然社会胁迫和人际胁迫之间的区别并非泾渭分明，但它是识别男女在性胁迫经历方面广泛差异的有用概念工具。
