Research regarding intimacy within Black relationships is often deficiency-focused, reinforcing negative stereotypes about Black people's capacity to relate in sexual and romantic relationships. Utilizing social exchange theory and social learning theory as a combined framework, we examined intimacy-related narratives of 18 Black college students during their first and last sexual encounters. A thematic analysis constructed five themes: (a) limited knowledge of intimacy, (b) internal barriers to non-sexual intimacy, (c) external barriers to non-sexual intimacy, (d) seeking an emotional connection, and (e) experiencing intimacy. Findings suggest varying perspectives and experiences related to intimacy. Intimacy barriers and facilitators are discussed.
关于黑人恋爱关系中亲密感的研究往往聚焦于不足之处，强化了对黑人在性和浪漫关系中建立联系能力的负面刻板印象。我们以社会交换理论和社会学习理论为综合框架，研究了18名黑人大学生在他们的首次和末次性接触中的亲密感相关叙述。一项主题分析构建了五个主题：（a）亲密感知识有限，（b）非性亲密感的内部障碍，（c）非性亲密感的外部障碍，（d）寻求情感联系，以及（e）体验亲密感。研究结果表明了与亲密感相关的不同观点和经历。文中讨论了亲密感的障碍和促进因素。
