A new study shows that the way we talk about sex and sexual topics has changed dramatically in the past 15 years. But researchers say that when it comes to sensitive sexual topics such as rape and orgasm, men and women have different views.
This study shows that men and women have a more negative attitude towards "rape" than 15 years ago. The word "rape" makes a group of college boys most disgusted in all the reactions related to sex, but the most adverse reaction for women is "date rape".
"We understand that these differences may mean that for men, rape is a criminal act that can be charged," said researcher Professor of Health Science Education at the University of Florida
"We found that young people's evaluation of sex has changed. This change has taken place with the recent change of cultural landscape," he said. "It is very important to understand not only the meaning of these dictionaries, but also people's feelings about them."
Let's talk about sex
In the latest study, researchers surveyed 567 undergraduate students in the Midwest to obtain their images of 42 entries related to sex. Students rated them from the most positive to the most negative.
The results showed that what type of sexual topic was the most cordial and offensive to them, and there were great differences between men and women.
Women rated the most intimate sexual words as orgasm, vaginal intercourse, sexual intercourse, chastity, masturbation, oral sex, approval of abortion legalization, pregnancy, erection and heterosexuality.
The most negative sex terms are dating rape, sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, human papillomavirus (HPV, a common sexually transmitted disease) and HIV/AIDS.
The most positive evaluation terms are monogamy, chastity, orgasm, vaginal intercourse and heterosexuality. The most negative evaluations are rape, human papillomavirus, date rape, abuse and sexual abuse.
Women and men gave significantly different evaluations to gonorrhea and syphilis. Women have a lower negative sense of gonorrhea and syphilis than men. Maybe they don't think they are in danger of these sexually transmitted diseases, so they don't see them as threats.
Women also have negative implications for chlamydia and human papillomavirus. Given the long-term consequences of women's reproductive health, these diseases have aroused women's special interest.
