本研究探討未婚成年異性戀者的親密關係經驗,研究目的有三:呈顯未婚成年異性戀者的親密經驗、討論身體在親密經驗中的作用,以及其中運行的性別腳本。本研究採質性研究,研究對象為成年未婚異性戀者,採用網路廣告招募有意願者報名,經告知同意後簽署研究同意書參與本研究。研究參與者包含三位男性、三位女性,年齡分布自26歲至32歲。以半結構訪談蒐集資料,所得訪談錄音謄寫成逐字稿,使用Giorgi(1997)的現象學方法進行資料的分析。研究信實度採用可信賴性、遷移性、可靠性、可驗證性為指標(Lincoln Guba, 1985)。 研究結果顯示親密的三個動力性結構和五個主題。第一個動力性結構為親密內部的矛盾性,包含二個主題:在關係中既想與對方融合又想保有自我、安全需求與自由需求的競逐;第二個動力性結構為親密交流的相互性,包含二個主題:親密互動具五種方向性、親密的身體和寂寞的身體。第三個動力性結構則為親密管理的排他性:專屬彼此。在性腳本發現傳統性腳本和創新觀念並行,受訪者仍受到性是男賺女賠和未婚無性的觀念的影響,但是受訪的未婚成年男女轉到檯面下進行其親密與性的實踐,發展自身在性愛中的能動性。本研究針對以上結果進行討論,根據研究結果提供未婚成年異性戀者的親密經驗的圖像,有助於實務工作者更能理解他們的關係樣貌。
This study aimed to understand the intimacy experiences of adult unmarried heterosexuals. There were three purposes in this study: First, we analyzed the intimate experience. Second, we discussed the physical intimacy. Third, we tried to understand the sexual scripts in these experiences. This study adopted qualitative research. The research object was adult unmarried heterosexuals. Online advertisements were used to recruit those who were willing to sign up. After informed consent, they signed a research consent form to participate in this research. Participants included three men and three women, ranging in age from 26 to 32 years old. Researcher transferred the recording content into words then analyzed by Giorgi’s (1997) method of phenomenological analysis. Credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability (Lincoln Guba, 1985) were four indicators to examine the study trustworthiness. Results found 3 dynamic structures and 5 themes. First dynamic structure was about “paradox in intimacy”, which contained two themes: (1) to identify with loved one or to keep one’s own subjectivity. (2) Competition between commitment and freedom. Second dynamic structure was about“mutuality in interaction”, which also contained two themes: (3) Five directionalities of intimate activities. (4) Intimate body and lonely body. Third dynamic structure was about “exclusion in management”: (5) only-for-each-other. In sexual scripts we found that tradition and innovation values simultaneously affected young generations. Our participants still kept some traditional values. For example, “sex is men’s gain and women’s loss” and “no premarital sex”. But they also developed their own initiative in sex and satisfied their intimacy and sex needs in private. To conclude the study, the study reflected the intimacy pattern of adult unmarried heterosexuals and might help to understand better the relationship of adult unmarried heterosexuals.
