Few studies compare family communication about sex and relationships for sexual minority youth versus hetero-sexual teenagers. Further, existing studies often focus on mothers, overlooking fathers and extended family. Our survey of 952 adolescents aged 14-21 included 115 adolescents disclosing non-heterosexual attraction. Mothers offered more sexual protection methods messages to their non-SM teens, whereas fathers talked less with SM teens about risks of sex and relational sex. Most participants identified mothers, sisters, and female cousins, with male SMs having the highest number of disclosures to family members, whereas female and non-binary SMs confided in fewer family members or no one.
很少有研究比较性少数青少年与异性恋青少年关于性和恋爱关系的家庭沟通情况。此外,现有研究通常聚焦于母亲,而忽视了父亲和大家庭成员。我们对952名14至21岁青少年进行的调查中,有115名青少年透露了非异性恋倾向。母亲向她们非性少数的青少年提供了更多性保护方法方面的信息,而父亲与性少数青少年谈论性风险和恋爱性方面的话题较少。大多数参与者提到了母亲、姐妹和女性表亲,男同性恋者向家庭成员透露情况的次数最多,而女同性恋者和非二元性别性少数者向较少家庭成员或不向任何人吐露心声。
