Although rates of sexual aggression are high among college men who engage in heavy drinking, little is known regarding how often heavy drinking college men initiate unwanted sexual advances towards women that could lead to a potential sexual assault or the reasons why these advances stop or proceed. The present study describes heavy drinking college men's ( = 210) initiation of unwanted sexual and social advances towards women, as well as outcomes of these interactions, including how often these behaviors continue, and men's perception of what stopped the behavior over a 3-month period. Men indicated whether they were in a situation where a sexual partner noted that she does not want sexual activity to proceed further, initiated unwanted sexual contact, initiated unwanted sexual intercourse, attempted to give a woman alcohol when she did not appear to want to drink, or attempted to take a woman to an isolated location when she did not appear to want to go. These unwanted sexual and social advances most often stopped because of women's verbal resistance (i.e., saying "stop" or "no"), or because men engaged in a discussion regarding the women's limits or choices. Given that none of the unwanted sexual or social advances stopped because of bystander intervention, the present study highlights the importance of raising awareness of the effectiveness of women's resistance tactics and continuing to train bystanders to notice and take action to address risky situations.
尽管大量饮酒的大学生中存在较高的性侵犯率，但对于经常饮酒的大学生向女性发起非自愿性性侵犯或性侵犯的原因，以及这些侵犯行为是如何停止或继续的，人们知之甚少。本研究描述了大量饮酒的大学生（n=210）向女性发起非自愿性性和社交性侵犯的行为，以及这些互动的结果，包括这些行为持续的频率，以及男性对导致行为停止的原因的看法，研究时间为 3 个月。男性报告了他们是否处于以下情况：性伴侣表示她不想进一步进行性活动、发起非自愿性接触、发起非自愿性性交、试图给不想喝酒的女性喝酒、或试图带女性去一个她不想去的偏僻地方。这些非自愿的性和社交侵犯通常因女性的口头抵制（即说“停止”或“不”）而停止，或者因为男性就女性的限制或选择进行了讨论。鉴于没有一起非自愿的性侵犯或社交侵犯是因为旁观者干预而停止的，本研究强调了提高对女性抵制策略有效性的认识的重要性，并继续培训旁观者注意并采取行动解决危险情况。
