Using a sample of 200 emerging adult male college students, we examined how men varied in the meanings they gave to sex and their self-reported engagement in two types of casual sex relationships (hookups and friends with benefits). Using qualitative methods, we conducted a content analysis of men's written responses to a series of questions about the meanings they ascribed to sex (i.e., intercourse), their perceived connection between sex and commitment, and how they believed these meanings were related to their sexual behavior. Three groups of men emerged: Committers, Flexibles, and Recreationers. Groups were then compared on social desirability, demographic characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, year in school, religious service attendance), and self-reported casual sexual behaviors in the past 12 months. Analyses showed that men in the Flexibles and Recreationers groups engaged in significantly more hookups and had significantly more friends with benefits partners in the past 12 months than did men in the Committers group. Implications for relationship education intervention aimed at men and research on casual sex relationships are discussed.
我们使用了 200 名新兴成年男性大学生作为样本，研究了男性在赋予性的意义以及他们自我报告的两种随意性关系（ hookup 和 friends with benefits）参与度方面的差异。我们使用定性方法，对男性对一系列问题的书面回答进行了内容分析，这些问题涉及他们赋予性（即性交）的意义、他们认为性与承诺之间的联系，以及他们认为这些意义与他们的性行为有何关联。研究结果显示，男性被分为三种类型：承诺者、灵活者和娱乐者。然后，对这三组男性的社会期望、人口统计学特征（如种族/民族、在校年级、宗教服务参与度）以及过去 12 个月的自我报告的随意性行为进行了比较。分析表明，与承诺者相比，灵活者和娱乐者在过去 12 个月中进行了更多的 hookup，有更多的 friends with benefits 伴侣。最后，讨论了针对男性的关系教育干预和随意性关系研究的意义。
