後疫情時代的性健康：探討台灣各級防疫標準下維持性活躍之自我調節策略
Sexual Health in the Post-Pandemic Era: Self-Regulation Strategies for Maintaining Sexually Active Under Taiwan's COVID-19 Alerts
摘要
隨著嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎（Coronavirus Disease-2019, COVID-19）疫情大流行的持續，禁慾及自慰被視為有效維持社交距離之方法，但上述兩種方法對性健康不見得有利；根據研究，維持性活躍能促進性健康，人與人接觸的性行為因為親密感佳而有助於性健康。台灣疫情相對穩定，應鼓勵民眾於各級防疫標準下動態調整性行為、維持高品質性生活，以促進國人性健康。本文以內容分析方法，蒐集並歸納國內外針對COVID-19大流行維持性健康之因應策略，再透過自我調節理論將各項因應策略套用在台灣各級防疫標準之下，以協助政府及民眾對防疫期間的性活動取得共識。研究主要結果顯示：（1）於第一級警戒以下應注意性伴侶生活近況及健康狀態；（2）於第二級警戒標準以固定伴侶或採用包含降低染疫風險之性行為安全措施；（3）於第三級警戒以上以非人與人接觸性行為較佳；（4）瞭解疫情對性健康帶來的其他風險。研究者對上述研究結果提出三點研究反思：（1）重新定義安全性行為；（2）維護單身及性少數族群的性權；（3）進一步研究建立性專區對促進安全性行為的好處。

As Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is continuing to grow, abstinence and masturbation seen as effective ways to maintain social distancing, however, both sexual behaviors are not likely good for sexual health. According to research, keeping sexually active is a good way to promote sexual health, and human-to-human sex is good for sexual health due to better intimacy. The pandemic in Taiwan was relatively stable. To promote sexual health, the public should be encouraged to dynamically adjust their sexual behavior and maintain a high-quality sexual life. The content analysis was adopted. After collecting domestic and international coping strategies for maintaining sexual health during COVID-19 pandemic era, the self-regulation theory was adopted to categorize coping strategies by Taiwan's COVID-19 alerts so that the government and the public can reach a consensus. The results were as follow: (1) At COVID-19 alert level 1, pay attention to activities of daily life and health status of sexual partners. (2) At COVID-19 alert level 2, have sex with a fixed partner and use safer sex measures to reduce risks, COVID-19 infection included. (3) Above COVID-19 alert level 3, preferably non-contact sex. (4) Better understand risks to sexual health posed by COVID-19 pandemic. The proposals were as follow: (1) Redefine safer sex. (2) Advocate sexual rights for singles and sexual minorities. (3) Further studies on benefits of establishing sex trade zone for safer sex.
