As sex cultures evolve in complexity, so too must our research procedures. We introduce qualitative video-recall procedures and discuss the unique opportunities they present in the study of sexual communication. In a pilot study, three diverse gay male couples had video-recorded conversations about aspects of their sexual relationships that they wished to change or explore. Partners then individually watched and reflected on their partnered conversations during open-ended video-recall interviews. We discuss how reflexively engaging with these research procedures enabled the first author to (1) confront dominant and restrictive assumptions about partnered sex, (2) observe how interpersonal dynamics shape sexual communication, and (3) enhance cultural reflexivity.

随着性文化的复杂性不断发展，我们的研究程序也必须如此。我们介绍定性视频回忆程序，并讨论它们在性交流研究中带来的独特机会。在一项试点研究中，三对不同的男同性恋伴侣对他们希望改变或探索的性关系的各个方面进行了录像对话。然后，合作伙伴在开放式视频回忆采访中单独观看并反思他们的合作对话。我们讨论如何反射性地参与这些研究程序使第一作者能够（1）面对有关伴侣性行为的主导性和限制性假设，（2）观察人际动态如何塑造性交流，以及（3）增强文化反射性。
