Decisions to engage in child sexual abuse (CSA) are not motivated solely by sexual/romantic interest in children. Given the complex interplay of personal, relational, and societal factors involved, we explored the narratives men constructed around their subjective motivations for offending, situated within the post-structuralist constructs of desire, power, and ethical subjectivity. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 men charged/convicted of CSA. Offenses were often contextualized as attempts to satisfy sexual and/or emotional desires. While some participants reported a persistent interest in children, others attempted to satisfy these desires through CSA in response to negative experiences with adults, including sexual overregulation, sexual objectification, and demoralization. Participants' subversion of social and ethical norms was aided by offense-supportive narratives that stemmed from their interactions with/interpretations of the world. Interventions to prevent CSA may benefit from a post-structuralist perspective of the social and cultural mechanisms by which men's decisions to engage in CSA are shaped.
实施儿童性虐待（CSA）的决定并非仅仅出于对儿童的性/浪漫兴趣。鉴于其中涉及个人、人际关系和社会因素的复杂相互作用，我们探讨了男性围绕其犯罪主观动机构建的叙述，这些叙述置于欲望、权力和伦理主体性的后结构主义框架内。对25名被控/被判CSA罪的男性进行了定性访谈。犯罪行为往往被情境化为满足性和/或情感欲望的尝试。虽然一些参与者报告称对儿童一直感兴趣，但另一些人则试图通过CSA来满足这些欲望，以应对与成年人的负面经历，包括性过度规范、性客体化和道德沦丧。参与者对社会和道德规范的颠覆得到了源于他们与世界的互动/对世界的解读的支持犯罪的叙述的帮助。预防CSA的干预措施可能会从后结构主义视角中受益，该视角关注塑造男性实施CSA决定的社会和文化机制。
