摘要

群体性行为(即四个或更多伴侣同时发生的性行为)是一种普遍但被污名化的性行为。人们认为群体性行为以自我为中心的快乐/身体满足为中心,因此,这一定是人们参与群体性行为的主要动机。然而,关于群体性行为的新研究,以及更广泛的性研究和理论表明,群体性行为的动机是多方面的,对许多人来说,与社区和归属感有关。在目前的研究中,我们关注的是人们参与群体性行为的原因。我们在不列颠哥伦比亚省西南部招募了20名不同性别、性身份/性取向、年龄(≥18岁)、能力和性别群体的参与者进行个人访谈。我们发现,参与者参与群体性行为的原因有很多,包括他们对新奇事物的渴望、性探索、精神上的渴望以及他们的成长经历。重要的是,许多人之所以有群体性行为,是因为他们在志同道合的群体中有归属感,并被他们所接受,这些群体信奉积极的性原则和价值观。快乐也是一个重要的激励因素,它以多方面的方式被描述,并与性赋权、情感脆弱性、联系和亲密感交织在一起。这些发现揭示了群体性行为未被充分研究的一个方面——即人们为什么会有这种行为——并挑战了群体性行为完全是由自我关注的身体愉悦/满足的欲望所驱动的假设。相反,他们强调群体性行为动机可以是多方面的,并以社区为中心。

“It’s a lot more like family Sunday dinner than people think”: Community, pleasure, and other motivations for group sex
Group sex (i.e., sex involving four or more simultaneous partners) is a prevalent but stigmatized sexual behaviour. People assume that group sex centers around self-focused pleasure/physical gratification and that accordingly, this must be the primary motivation people have for engaging in group sex. Yet emerging research on group sex, as well as broader sexuality research and theory, suggests that group sex motivations are multifaceted and, for many, tied to community and belonging. In the present study, we focus on people’s reasons for engaging in group sex. We recruited twenty participants of diverse genders, sexual identities/orientations, ages (≥18 years), abilities, and group sex communities for individual interviews in southwestern British Columbia. We found that participants had engaged in group sex for a plurality of reasons, including their desire for novelty, sexual exploration, spirituality, and their upbringing. Importantly, many were motivated to have group sex by their belonging and acceptance in communities of like-minded individuals that embraced sex-positive principles and values. Pleasure was also an important motivator and was described in multifaceted ways and was intertwined with sexual empowerment, emotional vulnerability, and feelings of connection and intimacy. These findings shed light on an understudied aspect of group sex – that is, why people have it – and challenge the assumption that group sex is entirely motivated by self-focused desire for physical pleasure/gratification. Instead, they highlight how group sex motivation can be multifaceted and community focused.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
