摘要

传统的性取向测量(如金赛量表、克莱因性取向网格、单项性身份问题)侧重于一个人的行为、身份和吸引力,但被多性恋、无性恋和性别多样化的个体描述为不足以捕捉他们如何体验和理解自己性行为的复杂性。这项研究探讨了多性恋者和无性恋者如何理解他们的性取向。在几项研究中,参与者(n = 2306)完成了与他们的性别和性身份相关的人口统计问卷,同时也对金赛量表做出了回应。此外,参与者还写了开放式的回答,解释为什么他们在调查的早期选择了特定的性身份或金赛分数。作者使用了一种溯因反射的主题分析来回顾这些开放式的回答,重点关注这些回答是否符合性取向的主导模式(即,行为-身份-吸引力)。虽然许多参与者描述了他们对性身份标签和金赛分数的选择,至少使用了行为-身份-吸引力三分法的一个方面,但并不是所有的回答都符合这个模型。例如,与会者强调他们被性别/性以外的个人特征所吸引,区分了浪漫吸引力和性吸引力,并讨论了多元性和性流动性的经历。传统的性取向测量方法在处理性取向多样化的样本时可能并不适用。研究者应该考虑如何最好地概念化性取向和其他相关概念,包括情感/浪漫吸引,性流动性,以及性别表达在吸引和身份构建过程中的作用。

From continua to kaleidoscopes: How plurisexuality challenges traditional conceptualizations of sexual orientation
Traditional measures of sexual orientation (e.g., the Kinsey Scale, the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, single-item sexual identity questions) focus on a person’s behaviour, identity, and attraction yet are described by plurisexual, asexual, and gender-diverse individuals as inadequate in capturing the complexity of how they experience and understand their sexuality. This study explores how plurisexual and asexual individuals make sense of their sexual orientation. Across several studies, participants (n = 2,306) completed demographic questionnaires related to their gender and sexual identity while also responding to the Kinsey Scale. Additionally, participants wrote open-ended responses explaining why they had selected a particular sexual identity or Kinsey score earlier in the survey. The authors used an abductive reflective thematic analysis to review these open-ended responses, focusing on whether responses aligned with a dominant model of sexual orientation (i.e., behaviour-identity-attraction). While many participants described their choice of sexual identity label and Kinsey score using at least one aspect of the behaviour-identity-attraction trichotomy, not all responses fit within this model. For example, participants emphasized their attraction to individual characteristics other than gender/sex, distinguished between romantic and sexual attraction, and discussed plurisexuality and experiences of sexual fluidity. Traditional measures of sexual orientation may not be adequate when working with sexually diverse samples. Researchers should consider how best to conceptualize sexual orientation and other related constructs, including emotional/romantic attraction, sexual fluidity, and the role of gender expression in processes of attraction and identity construction.
