The social impact of psychology on the field of human sexuality is extensively wide. From Freud to Masters and Johnson, many are the research which have broken barriers and provided citizens with new knowledge to improve their lives. One of the lines of research which are now contributing to this social impact from psychology is that of the dominant coercive discourse (Gómez, 2015), which portrays power relationships as exciting and egalitarian relationships as convenient. Drawing from this theory, the aim of this research is to shed light on the influence of the coercive discourse on women's pleasure in their intimate relationships. In an exploratory study, women between 20 and 29 years old were interviewed under the communicative methodology. Results show three main findings. First, participants who reject the coercive discourse find pleasure in egalitarian relationships. On the contrary, participants who had coerced relationships acknowledge a lack of excitement in egalitarian relationships, while associating pleasure to the power nature of the former. Finally, some participants who initially had coerced sexual-affective relationships were able to disassociate pleasure from coerced relationships and break with them. Moreover, these women claim to feel more pleasure in their new egalitarian relationships. These findings open a new path of research that unveils the lack of pleasure in coerced relationships and vindicates our right to the pleasure of falling in love.
心理学对人类性领域的社会影响极为广泛。从弗洛伊德到马斯特斯和约翰逊，众多研究突破了重重障碍，为公民提供了改善生活的新知识。目前，心理学领域中对这种社会影响有贡献的一条研究路线是主导性强制话语（戈麦斯，2015），该话语将权力关系描绘为令人兴奋的，而将平等关系描绘为便利的。基于这一理论，本研究的目的是阐明强制话语对女性在亲密关系中愉悦感的影响。在一项探索性研究中，采用交流方法对20至29岁的女性进行了访谈。结果显示了三个主要发现。首先，拒绝强制话语的参与者在平等关系中找到愉悦感。相反，经历过强制关系的参与者承认在平等关系中缺乏兴奋感，同时将愉悦感与前者的权力性质联系起来。最后，一些最初经历过强制性情感关系的参与者能够将愉悦感与强制关系分离，并与之决裂。此外，这些女性声称在新的平等关系中感受到更多愉悦。这些发现开辟了一条新的研究路径，揭示了强制关系中缺乏愉悦感，并维护了我们享受恋爱愉悦的权利。
