Rezeptiver Analverkehr (rAV) bei Männern und Frauen
摘要
Despite existing research on the prevalence and health implications of receptive anal intercourse (rAI), gender-specific data on its practice, preparatory measures, associated complaints and help-seeking behavior following forced rAI remain limited.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate gender differences in the practices and preparation for rAI, the prevalence and contexts of forced rAI and the utilization of support services by affected individuals.
Material and methodsAn anonymous online survey was conducted to collect data on consensual and/or forced rAI. The questionnaire comprised 22 items and was distributed to 593 international email addresses. Data analysis was performed using Excel and SPSS.
ResultsResponses from 183 individuals (127 men, 56 women) were analyzed. Significant gender differences were observed in sexual orientation (p < 0.001), frequency of rAI (p < 0.001), use of sex toys (p < 0.05) and poppers (p < 0.05), as well as preferred sexual position during rAI (p < 0.001). A history of forced rAI was reported by 42.5% of women and 24.8% of men (p < 0.05). Women predominantly experienced assaults within the context of domestic violence (66.7%), whereas men were more frequently assaulted by strangers (69.0%, p < 0.05).
DiscussionThis study provides novel insights into gender-specific differences in both consensual and forced rAI. The findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of substance use patterns, prevalence rates and reporting behavior among affected individuals. Further research is required to substantiate these findings and address existing knowledge gaps.
