As sex cultures evolve in complexity, so too must our research procedures. We introduce qualitative video-recall procedures and discuss the unique opportunities they present in the study of sexual communication. In a pilot study, three diverse gay male couples had video-recorded conversations about aspects of their sexual relationships that they wished to change or explore. Partners then individually watched and reflected on their partnered conversations during open-ended video-recall interviews. We discuss how reflexively engaging with these research procedures enabled the first author to (1) confront dominant and restrictive assumptions about partnered sex, (2) observe how interpersonal dynamics shape sexual communication, and (3) enhance cultural reflexivity.
随着性文化在复杂性上不断演变，我们的研究方法也必须如此。我们引入了定性视频回忆法，并讨论了它们在性交流研究中所呈现的独特机遇。在一项试点研究中，三对不同的男同性恋伴侣对他们希望改变或探索的性关系方面进行了视频记录对话。随后，伴侣们在开放式视频回忆访谈中各自观看并反思他们的伴侣对话。我们讨论了如何通过自觉地运用这些研究方法，使第一作者能够：（1）直面关于伴侣性行为的主流且具限制性的假设；（2）观察人际动态如何塑造性交流；以及（3）增强文化反思能力。
