The current study provided an exploratory mixed methods investigation of the messages undergraduate men received about sex and relationships from their male and female friends. Participants included 310 undergraduate men who provided written responses regarding the specific messages they had received from male and female friends. Descriptive codes included: Just Do It, Meaningful Intimacy, Gentlemen, Postpone Sex, Women's Sexual Desire, and Objectification of Women. Reports of sexual communications were typically consistent with the Heterosexual Script and congruent with the friend's gender. Accordingly, reports of male friends' communications often portrayed the accumulation of sexual experiences and partners as necessary and desirable, whereas serious, romantic relationships were often portrayed as hindrances. Reports of female friends' messages, in contrast, primarily focused on the importance of romantic relationships and the idealization of sex within such relationships. Reports of messages that were incongruent with the Heterosexual Script were rare, and were more often found in reports of female friends' communications. For example, female friends were the only source of messages regarding women's sexual needs, desire, and pleasures. By documenting patterns of common and uncommon messages and their sources, the present study contributed insights into how male and female friends similarly and differentially reinforce different dimensions of hegemonic masculinity.

“不需要任何信息-只需轻拍一下”：探索有关男性和女性朋友性交的年轻男性报道。

当前的研究提供了一种探索性的混合方法调查，调查了大学生男性从其男性和女性朋友那里收到的有关性别和性关系的信息。参与者包括310名本科生，他们提供了关于他们从男女朋友那里收到的特定信息的书面答复。描述性代码包括：做到这一点，有意义的亲密关系，先生们，推迟性行为，妇女的性欲和妇女的客观化。性交流的报告通常与异性恋手稿一致，并与朋友的性别一致。因此，关于男性朋友交流的报道经常描绘出性经验和伴侣的积累是必要和可取的，而严肃，浪漫的关系常常被描绘成障碍。相反，关于女性朋友的信息的报道主要集中在恋爱关系的重要性以及这种关系中性的理想化上。与异性恋文字不一致的消息报道很少见，在女性朋友交流的报道中更常见。例如，女性朋友是有关女性性需求，性欲和快乐的唯一信息来源。通过记录常见和不常见消息的模式及其来源，本研究有助于深入了解男性和女性朋友如何相似地和不同地强化霸权男性气概的不同维度。与异性恋文字不一致的消息报道很少见，在女性朋友交流的报道中更常见。例如，女性朋友是有关女性性需求，性欲和快乐的唯一信息来源。通过记录常见和不常见消息的模式及其来源，本研究有助于深入了解男性和女性朋友如何相似地和不同地强化霸权男性气概的不同维度。与异性恋文字不一致的消息报道很少见，在女性朋友交流的报道中更常见。例如，女性朋友是有关女性性需求，性欲和快乐的唯一信息来源。通过记录常见和不常见消息的模式及其来源，本研究有助于深入了解男性和女性朋友如何相似地和不同地强化霸权男性气概的不同维度。
