  • 研究人员发现,包括享乐作为性教育的一部分,可以使人们更有可能从事更安全的性行为。
  • The organization, The Pleasure Project, advocates for “putting the sexy into safer sex.”
  • 专家说,父母在教年轻人的性积极性方面也发挥着至关重要的作用。
  • An open acknowledgement that sex feels good allows young people to learn how to experience sex in a safer and pleasurable way.

性教育往往侧重于t的一切hat can go wrong in sex, like unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

However, researchers say that sex ed may be more effective when sexual pleasure is also a part of these conversations.

According to the authors of a new study 在《杂志》一书中,当教育者承认享受通常是性的主要目标时,它有助于改善人们对性的知识和态度。

Their research also indicates that it leads to safer sex practices and improves compliance with condom use.

研究团队决定研究性教育中的愉悦问题,因为他们认为大多数计划都缺乏并且被研究了。

为了进行研究,他们对2005年至2020年之间的科学文献进行了荟萃分析。

The majority of the studies included in their analysis were from the United States. However, studies from countries around the globe, including Brazil, Spain, South Africa, the UK, Nigeria, Mexico, and Singapore were also included.

当他们检查这些研究的数据时,他们发现将愉悦纳入性健康和繁殖计划可能会对人们对性的态度产生积极影响。

当教育工作者承认性能并应该感觉良好时,它还可以鼓励更安全的性行为,包括使用避孕套。

The authors concluded their report by recommending that sexual health programs revisit their approaches if they’re not already including sexual pleasure in their educational efforts, stating that they will have more effective programs when done with a性阳性方法.

The study was released just prior to Valentine’s Day by the World Health Organization (WHO) and娱乐项目, an advocacy organization described by study author and founder安妮·菲尔波特as “putting the sexy into safer sex.”

菲尔波特(Philpott)认为,从历史上看,性健康教育一直集中在我们应该避免的事情上,或者如果我们发生性生活会造成的伤害,这种方法在改变行为时无效。

There is also stigma and taboo surrounding sexual behaviors and the reasons people engage in them.

In addition, there are gender norms that make it taboo for women, LGBTQIA+, or other marginalized groups to be able to express what they might want or to express their sexual identities.

“但是,总体上并没有很好地为我们服务,因为它使人们无法学习保护自己所需的技能和知识,”菲尔波特说。

“We promote sexual health and agency through an emphasis on ‘good sex’ and by focusing on one of the primary reasons people have sex — the pursuit of pleasure — and by acknowledging diverse desires and means of satisfaction,” she said.

尽管有一些正式的计划可以教育年轻人有关性的教育,包括在学校中的性教育,但父母也发挥着重要作用。

Jennifer M. Grossman,博士,高级研究科学家韦尔斯利妇女中心谁领导它Family, Sexuality, and Communication Research Initiative, said that parents often fear talking with their children about the positive aspects of sex, worrying that they’ll encourage behaviors that may lead to unintended pregnancies or STIs.

她指出,证据不支持这一点。

“It’s important to talk about sexual pleasure, especially with adolescents and young adults, because these are developmental periods when people form lasting ideas about sex and relationships, which carry over into adulthood,”said Grossman.

她补充说:“因此,将性视为负面行为可能会妨碍成年后的健康和积极的性关系。”

她说,当您避免积极性时,它会阻止机会诚实地与您的孩子谈论使用保护的挑战,或者安全健康的方式来体验愉悦,例如手淫。

Sara C.花计划生育联合会教育和培训副总裁DRPH说:“重要的是要知道,您不必为了实践更安全的性行为而牺牲有趣,令人愉悦的性经历。”

“Actually, practicing safer sex helps you be more relaxed during sex since you can worry less about STIs or unintended pregnancy,” she said.

Flowers noted that rather than taking away from your fun, condoms can actually increase pleasure for both partners. They come in lots of different styles, shapes, and textures.

她说,戴避孕套可能是前戏的有趣部分。

花加了同意也是拥有更安全,更快乐的性生活的重要组成部分。

“Asking for consent doesn’t have to be hard or awkward. In fact, telling someone what you want and asking what they want can be sexy,” she said.

“It also makes doing sexy stuff less awkward and less confusing because when there’s clear consent, you know for sure that the person you’re with wants the same thing you do,” she added.
