Speaking the unspeakable: an exploratory study of college women's sex communication in Shanghai, China

摘要

The centrality of communication in safer sex promotion is widely recognized. Chinese young women face unique challenges when it comes to sex communication. Little is known about Chinese college women's experience related to condom use and sexual communication. This study collected qualitative data (n = 101) in a Shanghai university through participant responses to open-ended interview questions and the researcher's reflexive journal during an interpersonal sexual health intervention. Guided by a sexual scripting perspective, the analysis yielded important insight into these college women's experience of communicating about sex and condom use. Significance for prevention practice and theory development is discussed.View full textDownload full textKeywordswomen college students, sex communication, sexual scriptsRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01292986.2011.642396
