In recent years, several researchers have suggested that the use of alcohol in conjunction with sexual activity significantly increases the probability that unsafe or risky sexual behavior will occur. However, the majority of studies examining this relationship have utilized general measures of drinking frequency and sexual behavior, and are therefore unable to establish whether the drinking and risky sex occur on the same occasion. In this study, adult respondents in a national survey were asked about the circumstances of two sexual encounters: their most recent sexual experience and their most recent encounter involving a new sexual partner. The characteristics of encounters that involved and did not involve drinking are described. The results showed that although encounters with new partners were more likely to involve alcohol, the presence of alcohol in the event was not significantly associated with risky sexual activity. The occurrence of risky sexual behavior was predicted by a number of individual and situational variables, including sexual attitudes, drinking habits, and personality characteristics. These findings suggest that the relationship between drinking and risky sex is the result of a complex interaction among personality, situational, and behavioral factors.
近年来,一些研究人员指出,饮酒与性行为同时进行会显著增加发生不安全或危险性行为的可能性。然而,大多数研究这一关系的研究采用的是饮酒频率和性行为的一般测量方法,因此无法确定饮酒和危险性行为是否在同一情况下发生。在本研究中,一项全国性调查中的成年受访者被问及两次性接触的情况:他们最近的性经历以及他们最近与新性伴侣的接触。描述了涉及饮酒和未涉及饮酒的接触的特征。结果显示,虽然与新伴侣的接触更有可能涉及饮酒,但事件中酒精的存在与危险性行为并无显著关联。危险性行为的发生是由一些个人和情境变量预测的,包括性态度、饮酒习惯和个性特征。这些发现表明,饮酒与危险性行为之间的关系是个性、情境和行为因素之间复杂相互作用的结果。
