摘要

在过去的二十年中,对无性恋和多角恋的研究不断增加,但人们对它们之间的交集,即认同为无性恋但又有多角恋关系的人却知之甚少。通过在线调查,我们探究了那些在调查时被认定为无性恋或处于无性恋谱系(如半无性恋、灰色无性恋)并处于多配偶关系中的参与者(N = 321)的经历。大多数参与者自称是白人(79.02%),大多数自称是女性(27.1%),年龄从 18 岁到 53 岁不等(M = 29.55,SD = 6.77)。本研究分析了两个与多角恋动机有关的定性问题(N = 224)。第一个问题问的是个人动机,第二个问题问的是伴侣的影响。在这两个问题中出现了八个代码:需求满足、探索/思考、解决关系冲突/个人不安全感、希望与多人建立联系、个人/关系成长、拒绝一夫一妻制、伴侣介绍、其他/无其他背景。在第二季度中发现了一个额外的代码:不情愿/嫉妒/不信任。总的来说,最常见的代码是探索/考虑。我们的研究结果表明,满足伴侣的性需求并不是王牌个体参与多配偶制的主要动机。王牌个体更倾向于将这些经历描述为探索自己的身份以及满足个人对联系和亲密关系的需求。这些研究结果表明,参与多角恋的动机并不仅仅是为了满足性欲望,它们可能会对一夫一妻制和异性恋背景之外的浪漫和性关系的范围产生更大的影响。

Ace and Poly: The Motivations and Experiences of People on the Ace Spectrum in Polyamorous Relationships
While the past two decades have seen an increase in research into both asexuality and polyamory, little is known about their intersection, that is, people who identify as asexual and engage in polyamorous relationships. Using an online survey, we explored the experiences of participants who identify as asexual or on the ace spectrum (e.g., demisexual, gray-asexual) and were in a polyamorous relationship at the time of the survey (N = 321). The majority of our participants identified as White (79.02%), a plurality identified as women (27.1%), and ages ranged from 18 to 53 years old (M = 29.55, SD = 6.77). Two qualitative questions related to motivations for engaging in polyamory were analyzed for this study (N = 224). The first question asked about personal motivations, and the second asked about partner(s)’s influence. Eight codes emerged across the two questions: Needs fulfillment, Exploration/contemplation, Solution to relationship conflict/personal insecurity, a Desire to connect with multiple people, Personal/relationship growth, Rejecting monogamy, Introduced by partner, and Other/no additional context. One additional code was found in Q2: Reluctance/jealousy/distrust. The most common code overall was Exploration/contemplation. Our findings indicate that fulfilling a partner’s sexual needs was not a primary motivating factor for ace individuals engaged in polyamory. Ace individuals were more likely to describe experiences as exploring their identity and fulfilling personal needs for connection and intimacy. These findings indicate that motivations for engaging in polyamory are not solely centered in fulfilling sexual desires, and they may have larger implications for the what the scope of romantic and sexual relationships can look at outside of a monogamous and heteronormative context.
