This study aimed at exploring adolescents' perceptions of unwanted sexual experiences (USE) in order to set up definitions, categories, and boundaries on the continuum between consensual and non-consensual sex.
We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of four focus group discussions gathering a total of 29 male and female adolescents aged 16-20 years.
Analysis of participants' discourse revealed three main characteristics that define USE, namely, regret, as most situations discussed were said to be acceptable or not in terms of whether there were regrets after the fact; misperception of sexual intent; and lack of communication between partners.
Our findings revealed that health professionals should be aware of the subtle aspects identifying USE when screening for situations that can have adverse psychological consequences. Where prevention is concerned, it appears important to address these aspects of USE in sex education classes.
本研究旨在探索青少年对非自愿性经历(USE)的认知,以便在自愿和非自愿性行为的连续统上设定定义、类别和界限。
我们对四个焦点小组讨论进行了定性主题分析,共召集了29名年龄在16至20岁之间的青少年男女。
对参与者话语的分析揭示了定义USE的三个主要特征,即后悔,因为所讨论的大多数情况根据事后是否有后悔而被认为是可接受或不可接受的;对性意图的误解;以及伴侣之间缺乏沟通。
我们的研究结果表明,健康专业人员在筛查可能产生不良心理后果的情况时应意识到识别USE的微妙方面。在预防方面,在性教育课程中涉及USE的这些方面似乎很重要。
