This study used a mixed-method research design to examine public attitudes toward sexual advance directives (SADs), a theoretical legal document intended to protect the sexual rights of individuals across the lifespan. Respondents (N = 537) largely indicated that SADs should exist (65.4%) to preserve autonomy and protect resident rights, but they would not sign one right now (60.4%) because they were too young. Linear regression analyses revealed statistical associations between education level, relationship length, and sexual instrumentality for the existence of SADs, while gender, age, perceived importance of sexuality, and sexual self-disclosure were associated with whether a respondent would sign the document now. Overall analyses indicate that valuing sexual expression as a right, autonomy, sexuality in older age, and sexual communication led to a greater amount of general support for SADs. Respondents were sensitive to the concerns of SADs in the context of fluid consent between partners and their safety.

本研究采用混合方法研究设计来检验公众对性预先指示 (SAD) 的态度，这是一份旨在保护个人终生性权利的理论法律文件。受访者（N= 537) 主要表示应该存在 SADs (65.4%) 以保持自治和保护居民权利，但他们现在不会签署 (60.4%)，因为他们太年轻了。线性回归分析显示教育水平、关系长度和性工具之间存在 SAD 的统计关联，而性别、年龄、性的感知重要性和性自我表露与受访者现在是否会签署文件有关。总体分析表明，将性表达视为一种权利、自主权、老年人的性行为和性交流会导致对 SAD 的更多普遍支持。在合作伙伴之间的流动同意及其安全的背景下，受访者对 SAD 的担忧很敏感。
