Abstract

Introduction

In the context of a qualitative research study on sexual practices and risk among youth, repeated accounts of non-consensual sex and other forms of gender-based violence emerged. Drawing from that research, this article explores the influence of the patriarchal system on sexual-affective relationships among young people aged 18–25 years residing in Andalusia, Spain.

Methods

The fieldwork was conducted between March and May 2019. Six discussion groups were held with 39 participants segmented by gender, level of education, sexual orientation, and length of relationships.

Results

The results show that patriarchal constructs related to female body standards and the subordination of women’s pleasure to men’s, in addition to blackmail and sexual violence, continue to pervade the sexual-affective imaginaries and experiences of young people. Additionally, the participants’ discourses on patriarchal and sexual violence are interwoven with critical feminist points of view, revealing timid signs of resistance to the patriarchal order.

Conclusions

Women navigate inequality by assuming, negotiating, or rebelling against the different types of violence to which they are exposed in their intimate relationships. In their sexual-affective relationships, young people today are confronted with numerous tensions and contradictions. The discourse of females shifts between their right to seek pleasure and self-blaming, while trying to overcome feelings of shame and dismantling aesthetic standards or empowering themselves and claiming orgasm equality.

Policy Implications

The findings are applicable for the prevention of violence against young women in relationships of trust.

父权制在我们床上做什么？青少年的暴力性情感经历

摘要

介绍

在对青少年性行为和风险进行定性研究的背景下，反复出现了非自愿性行为和其他形式的基于性别的暴力行为。本文借鉴该研究，探讨了父权制度对居住在西班牙安达卢西亚 18 至 25 岁年轻人性情感关系的影响。

方法

实地调查于 2019 年 3 月至 5 月期间进行。共举办了 6 个讨论小组，共有 39 名参与者，按性别、教育程度、性取向和恋爱关系长度进行分组。

结果

结果表明，除了勒索和性暴力之外，与女性身体标准相关的父权观念以及女性快乐从属于男性的观念，继续弥漫在年轻人的性情感想象和经历中。此外，参与者关于父权和性暴力的话语与批判的女权主义观点交织在一起，揭示了反抗父权秩序的胆怯迹象。

结论

女性通过承担、谈判或反抗在亲密关系中遭受的不同类型的暴力来应对不平等。今天的年轻人在性情感关系中面临着许多紧张和矛盾。女性的话语在寻求快乐的权利和自责之间转变，同时试图克服羞耻感并瓦解审美标准或赋予自己权力并声称性高潮平等。

政策影响

研究结果适用于预防信任关系中针对年轻女性的暴力行为。
