The current study described how positive sexual experiences impact hypothetical subjective evaluations at follow up relative to baseline. Eighty-eight college students who engaged in weekly heavy episodic drinking participated. At baseline, participants reported alcohol use and hypothetical evaluations of alcohol-involved sexual experiences. During a 28-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA), participants completed next morning surveys and reported whether they engaged in a sexual/romantic experience and subjective evaluation of any sexual/romantic experience. At follow-up, participants re-reported all hypothetical evaluations. Associations between baseline and follow-up evaluations for "living out a sexual fantasy" and having an "alcohol-facilitated sexual experience" were not moderated by gender or positive sexual experiences. However, associations between baseline and follow-up "alcohol-intensified sex" were moderated by gender and having a positive sexual experience during the EMA study. Among women who had a positive sexual experience, evaluations of alcohol-intensified sex remained stable over time. For men who had a positive sexual experience, evaluations at follow up became less positive relative to their evaluations at baseline. Whereas positive sexual experiences served to confirm positive evaluations over time for women, evaluations decreased for men. Women and men who did not engage in sexual experiences did not need/rely on actual lived experiences in order to maintain their positive evaluations over time. Placing such a high emphasis on alcohol on intensifying sex without actual lived experience of negotiating consent when drinking could place college students at increased risk of sexual perpetration/victimization.
本研究描述了积极的性体验如何在随访时对假设的主观评估产生影响,与基线相比。88 名每周大量饮酒的大学生参与了研究。在基线时,参与者报告了饮酒情况和对饮酒相关性体验的假设评估。在 28 天的生态瞬间评估(EMA)期间,参与者完成了次日早上的调查,并报告是否进行了性/浪漫体验以及对任何性/浪漫体验的主观评估。在随访时,参与者重新报告了所有假设评估。对于“实现性幻想”和“有酒精促进的性体验”,基线和随访评估之间的关联不受性别或积极的性体验的调节。然而,基线和随访之间的“酒精增强的性行为”之间的关联受到性别和 EMA 研究期间的积极性体验的调节。在有积极性体验的女性中,对酒精增强的性行为的评估随着时间的推移保持稳定。对于有积极性体验的男性,与基线相比,随访时的评估变得不那么积极。虽然积极的性体验有助于女性随着时间的推移确认积极的评估,但对男性来说,评估却在下降。没有性体验的女性和男性不需要/不需要依靠实际的生活经验来随着时间的推移保持他们的积极评价。在没有实际协商同意的情况下,将饮酒作为增强性行为的重要手段可能会增加大学生性侵犯/受害的风险。
