Past research on unwanted sex has often emphasized individual risk factors or institutional determinants. As a supplement to past research, this article bridges interactionist theory with a sexual scripting approach to explore how unwanted sex is also produced in situ during sexual encounters. This article examines 110 heterosexual and queer college students’ accounts of unwanted sex. Results show that as a sexual encounter unfolds, people do not just go along with it. Rather, people routinely feel a need to make sense of its progression. In existing literature, violence and incapacitation are the predominant ways that scholars, as well as the public, presume that unwanted sex happens. In my data, there were indeed instances of force, threat of force, and incapacitation. However, much more common, and more surprising, were the pressures from gendered sexual scripts and generic interactional smoothing that emerged. Across interviews, it was also common for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer students to report a lack of familiarity with queer sexual scripts. I argue that focusing on situational pressures and gendered sexual scripts for women, as well as men and queer students, sheds new light on understandings of how and why unwanted sex happens.

校园里不受欢迎的性行为：互动压力和性别性脚本被忽视的作用

过去对不想要的性行为的研究往往强调个人风险因素或制度决定因素。作为对过去研究的补充，本文将互动主义理论与性脚本方法联系起来，以探讨在性接触过程中如何原地产生不想要的性行为。本文调查了 110 名异性恋和酷儿大学生对不想要的性行为的描述。结果表明，随着性接触的展开，人们并不只是顺其自然。相反，人们通常会觉得有必要了解其进展情况。在现有文献中，暴力和丧失行为能力是学者和公众假定发生不受欢迎的性行为的主要方式。在我的数据中，确实存在武力、武力威胁和丧失能力的情况。然而，更常见，更令人惊讶的是，是来自性别化的性脚本的压力和出现的通用交互平滑。在采访中，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和酷儿学生报告不熟悉酷儿性脚本的情况也很常见。我认为，关注女性以及男性和酷儿学生的情境压力和性别化的性脚本，可以为理解不想要的性行为如何以及为何发生提供新的思路。
