ABSTRACT Whether “consent is sexy’ is a topic that has been broadly debated, with some contending that asking for consent ‘ruins the mood’ and is, therefore, distinctly not sexy. In the current research, we investigated whether consent is sexy by comparing evaluations of written erotica based on whether the characters expressed explicit verbal consent. In Study 1, we compared brief excerpts of erotic fiction in which verbal sexual consent was either present or absent and determined that U.S. adults judged the stories similarly and, if anything, considered the excerpts with verbal consent sexier. In Study 2, we generated erotic stories that followed familiar, heterosexual scripts and compared evaluations of erotica with consent expressed explicitly and verbally to erotica with consent expressed implicitly through no resistance. Participants considered both versions equally as sexy, indicating that public concerns about consent ruining sexual dynamics are potentially unwarranted. We discuss the potential utility of sexual media in normalising sexual consent as an erotic aspect of sexual scripts.

同意性感吗？比较基于口头性同意的书面情色评价

摘要 “同意是否性感”是一个受到广泛争论的话题，有些人认为征求同意“破坏了情绪”，因此显然不性感。在当前的研究中，我们通过比较基于字符是否表达明确的口头同意的书面情色评价来调查同意是否性感。在研究 1 中，我们比较了有或没有口头性同意的色情小说的简短摘录，并确定美国成年人对这些故事的判断类似，并且如果有的话，我们认为口头同意的摘录更性感。在研究 2 中，我们生成了遵循熟悉的异性恋脚本的情色故事，并将对情色的评价与明确和口头表达的同意进行比较，与通过没有抵抗的含蓄表达的同意的情色进行比较。参与者认为这两个版本同样性感，这表明公众对同意破坏性动态的担忧可能是没有根据的。我们讨论了性媒体在将性同意正常化为性脚本的色情方面的潜在效用。
