Existing research adopting a sex positive and intersectional framework for investigating Black women's sexualities is scarce. We conducted a 46-year (1972-2018) content analysis of sexualities research focussed on Black women. It sought to examine which sexualities topics were published most; whether the publications aligned with sex-positive, neutral or negative discourse; what methodologies were used; and differences in how various identities were investigated among Black women. Using human coding, we applied an integrative approach to the content analysis. Results found 245 articles meeting criteria. Approximately one-third of articles within the analysis focussed on the topic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV and sexual risk behaviours among Black women. Only 6.5% of articles utilised a sex-positive discourse. Quantitative articles were the most published methodology, and publications disproportionately overlooked Black women's intersectional identities. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
现有的研究采用性积极和交叉框架来调查黑人女性的性行为,这种研究很少。我们对专注于黑人女性的性行为研究进行了 46 年(1972-2018 年)的内容分析。该研究旨在检查哪些性行为主题的出版物最多;出版物是否与性积极、中性或消极话语一致;使用了哪些方法;以及在调查黑人女性的各种身份时存在哪些差异。我们使用人工编码,对内容分析采用了综合方法。结果发现有 245 篇符合标准的文章。分析中大约三分之一的文章关注黑人女性的性传播感染(STI)、艾滋病毒和性风险行为。只有 6.5%的文章采用了性积极话语。定量文章是发表最多的方法,出版物不成比例地忽略了黑人女性的交叉身份。讨论了对未来研究和实践的影响。
