Technology-mediated sexual interaction (TMSI) refers to any partnered interaction that involves sending or receiving self-created, sexually explicit content using communication technology (e. g., sexting, cybersex). Most research on TMSI assumes that experiences are desired and consensual. However, it is likely that some people do not desire all their TMSI experiences but consent to them anyways (), or experience TMSIs. People also engage in TMSIs with different types of partners. According to the traditional sexual script (TSS), other-gender attracted women and men's non-consensual TMSI experiences should differ overall and depending on the relationship context of the experience. The goal of this study was to examine the role of sexual scripts in other-gender attracted women and men's non-consensual and compliant TMSI experiences with committed romantic partners (CRPs), known non-partners (KNPs), and strangers (Ss). Women ( = 331) and men ( = 120) completed an online survey with questions about lifetime prevalence of experiencing seven types of compliant and non-consensual TMSIs in each relationship context. Results of mixed ANOVAs revealed significant interactions: overall, more participants reported compliant TMSI with CRPs. More women than men had received a non-consensual TMSI from someone they were not in a committed relationship with, and more men than women reported sending non-consensual TMSIs to a stranger. Tests of unpaired proportions suggested that the prevalence of sending and receiving non-consensual TMSIs was discordant in the KNP and S contexts: both women and men received more non-consensual TMSIs from KNPs and Ss than the other-gender reported sending. Our findings suggest that gendered sexual scripts are evident in some, but not all, aspect of other-gender attracted women and men's compliant and non-consensual TMSI experiences.
技术介导的性互动（TMSI）是指任何涉及使用通信技术发送或接收自行创建的、露骨的性内容的伴侣互动（例如，发送色情短信、网络性爱）。大多数关于TMSI的研究都假定这种体验是双方自愿且期望的。然而，很可能有些人并不期望他们所有的TMSI体验，但无论如何还是同意了，或者经历了非自愿的TMSI。人们也会与不同类型的伴侣进行TMSI。根据传统性脚本（TSS），异性吸引的女性和男性的非自愿TMSI体验在总体上以及根据体验的关系背景会有所不同。本研究的目的是考察性脚本在异性吸引的女性和男性与忠诚浪漫伴侣（CRP）、已知非伴侣（KNP）和陌生人（S）的非自愿和顺从的TMSI体验中的作用。女性（n = 331）和男性（n = 120）完成了一项在线调查，其中包含关于在每种关系背景下经历七种类型的顺从和非自愿TMSI的终生患病率的问题。混合方差分析的结果显示出显著的交互作用：总体而言，更多参与者报告与CRP有顺从的TMSI。与没有忠诚关系的人相比，收到非自愿TMSI的女性比男性更多，而向陌生人发送非自愿TMSI的男性比女性更多。非配对比例检验表明，在KNP和陌生人情境中，发送和接收非自愿TMSI的患病率不一致：女性和男性从KNP和陌生人那里收到的非自愿TMSI都比异性报告发送的更多。我们的研究结果表明，在异性吸引的女性和男性的顺从和非自愿TMSI体验的某些但并非所有方面，存在性别化的性脚本。
