摘要

性学学者提出了 "情色资本"(erotic capital)的概念,即在特定情境下使某人具有性吸引力的特征。虽然大部分文献关注的是那些拥有或缺乏情色资本的人,以及情色资本在性和约会情境中的表现形式,但很少有研究探讨情色资本被用来吸引伴侣后会发生什么,或者个人对他人对其情色资本的解读有何感受。因此,我们提出了 "情色红利 "这一概念,并将其概念化为情色资本产生的收益或结果,从而推动了相关文献的研究。通过探讨情色红利,我们强调了认识到情色资本具有高度情境性/依赖性的重要性,并使情色资本经常产生有益性体验的假设变得更加复杂。为了探讨情色红利,我们借鉴了关于性自我发展的深度访谈研究,访谈对象是 20-60 岁的美国直男和直女。我们认为,虽然有些人可能拥有情色资本,但这并不能自动保证他们会产生利益,最终可能会强化更广泛的结构性不平等,尤其是与性别和种族相关的不平等。总之,我们认为情色红利的概念有助于澄清权力、欲望和不平等是如何在性情境中运作的。

Erotic capital and erotic dividends
Sexualities scholars have developed the idea of erotic capital, that is the characteristics that make someone sexually desirable in specific contexts. While much of the literature focuses on those who either possess or lack erotic capital, and how erotic capital manifests within sexual and dating situations, few studies pursue what happens after erotic capital is used to attract a partner or how individuals feel about others’ interpretations of their erotic capital. Therefore, we advance the literature by developing the concept “erotic dividends,” which we conceptualize as the yield or outcome generated from erotic capital. By exploring erotic dividends, we highlight the importance of recognizing that erotic capital is highly situational/dependent and we complicate assumptions that erotic capital routinely engenders beneficial sexual experiences. To explore erotic dividends, we draw on in-depth interview research on the development of sexual selves with samples of straight-identifying U.S. men and women in their 20s–60s conducted with straight men and women in the United States. We suggest that while some might possess erotic capital, this does not automatically guarantee they will produce benefits, and may ultimately reinforce broader structural inequalities, particularly those related to gender and race. Overall, we argue that the concept of erotic dividends helps to clarify how power, desirability, and inequalities operate within sexual situations.
