CASUAL SEX WITH
AND WITHOUT INTERCOURSE: FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECISION TO TERMINATE
AND ONGOING SEXUAL ENCOUNTER. Carlos
Vélez-Blasini & William Rawson (Middlebury class of 2004) Presented at the Annual Meeting
of the Eastern Psychological Association. One-hundred-and-fifteen college students reported on two casual
sexual events: one with intercourse, one without. A sexual encounter was more
likely terminated if a discussion of previous condom use took place. The
decision to have intercourse also seemed to be based on a cost-benefit
analysis of personal, social, relational, and physical consequences
considered separately for each situation. This suggested the choice to have
intercourse was largely under voluntary control even if alcohol was consumed. |
