This study examines how romantic relationship cognitions are associated with changes of condomless anal sex among emerging adult gay and bisexual men. The sample was drawn from four waves of a prospective cohort study ( N = 598; M = 18.2). Results suggest that condomless anal sex increased over the emerging adulthood period. Romantic relationship fear was associated with increased receptive condomless anal sex. Perceptions of greater romantic relationship control increased the likelihood of having insertive and receptive condomless anal sex. Findings suggest that romantic relationship cognitions are important to consider when understanding longitudinal changes in condomless anal sex in this population.
本研究考察了浪漫关系认知如何与成年早期男同性恋和双性恋者发生无保护肛交行为的变化相关联。该样本来自一项前瞻性队列研究的四个时间点(N=598;M=18.2)。结果表明,无保护肛交行为在成年早期期间有所增加。对浪漫关系的恐惧与增加的接受性无保护肛交行为相关。对浪漫关系控制的感知增加了进行插入式和接受式无保护肛交行为的可能性。研究结果表明,在理解这一人群中无保护肛交行为的纵向变化时,浪漫关系认知是一个重要的考虑因素。
