Using in-depth interviews with 43 college women who were, on average, 21 years old (SD = 0.79), the authors explored women's attitudes toward and experiences of cunnilingus. The authors found that cunnilingus posed interactional challenges for women, but that these varied by relationship context. Drawing on scripting theory, the authors argue that the sexual scripts available to contemporary American college students assume cunnilingus in relationships, but not in hookups, where the incorporation of the practice is more contested. For individual women, tension emerged when their preferences for cunnilingus contradicted the sexual script of the relationship context. Women who desired cunnilingus in hookups had to be assertive to get it, whereas those who did not want cunnilingus in hookups were relieved that it was not expected. The taken-for-granted nature of cunnilingus in relationships was a source of pleasure for women who enjoyed it and of difficulty for women who wished to avoid it. In relationships, some women's reluctance about cunnilingus was transformed by men's enthusiasm. More generally, this study implies that ambiguity in sexual scripts may heighten the interactional challenges of sex by creating uncertainty about expectations and gaps between sexual scripts and individual preferences.
本研究使用深度访谈的方法，对 43 名平均年龄为 21 岁（SD=0.79）的女大学生进行了研究，旨在探讨女性对阴蒂刺激的态度和经历。研究发现，阴蒂刺激对女性来说存在互动方面的挑战，但这种挑战因关系背景而异。本研究借鉴脚本理论，认为当代美国大学生的性脚本假设在关系中存在阴蒂刺激，但在 hookup 中则存在争议。对于个别女性来说，当她们对阴蒂刺激的偏好与关系背景的性脚本相矛盾时，就会产生紧张感。那些希望在 hookup 中进行阴蒂刺激的女性需要表现得很自信才能得到满足，而那些不希望在 hookup 中进行阴蒂刺激的女性则会因为没有被期望而感到欣慰。在关系中，阴蒂刺激被视为理所当然，这对喜欢这种行为的女性来说是一种乐趣，而对希望避免这种行为的女性来说则是一种困难。在关系中，一些女性对阴蒂刺激的不情愿会因为男性的热情而发生转变。更普遍地说，这项研究表明，性脚本的模糊性可能会通过增加对期望的不确定性和性脚本与个人偏好之间的差距，从而增加性行为的互动挑战。
