Abstract

This qualitative interview study investigated the opinions of 28 high school–attending youth in Massachusetts related to the content of their sexuality education, what they wished they could learn from a sex education class, and whether and how pornography was addressed. Participants felt that the sex education they received was not in-depth and did not provide them with the information they needed. Further, participants indicated that their instructors were not engaging, approachable, or credible sources of sex-related information. There was strong support for including healthy relationships education as part of sex education as well as including multiple subtopics related to pornography (e.g., body image and pornography, compulsive pornography use, misogyny and pornography). Although there was no clear consensus on whether the ideal modality for delivering sex education is in-person or self-delivered, there was enthusiasm for the “gamification” of sex education content.

摘要

这项定性访谈研究调查了马萨诸塞州 28 名在读高中的青少年对性教育内容的看法、他们希望从性教育课程中学到什么，以及是否以及如何解决色情问题。参与者认为他们接受的性教育不深入，没有为他们提供所需的信息。此外，参与者表示，他们的导师没有提供有吸引力、平易近人或可靠的性相关信息来源。人们强烈支持将健康关系教育作为性教育的一部分，并纳入与色情相关的多个子主题（例如，身体形象和色情、强迫性使用色情、厌女症和色情）。
