魏强斌:青少年期间的性对于他们的学习是无害的

每日科学（8.15 2010）青少年期间的性爱能从本质上改善两者之间的性关系和学习状况，根据即将召开的第105界美国社会学联盟的研究发现。

Compared to abstinence, sexual intercourse in committed romantic relationships is often academically harmless, whereas in other types of relationships it is more detrimental," said Bill McCarthy and Eric Grodsky, sociologists at the University of California-Davis and the University of Minnesota, respectively. "Females and males who have sex only with romantic partners are generally similar to abstainers on most of the education measures we examined."

相较于与节欲者，发生在忠贞关系上的性通常是被认为是无害的，然而在其他关系中则被认为是有害的。同样地“无论是男性还是女性那些只跟忠贞性伴侣发生关系的年轻人在我们的研究中大致上跟节欲者相思。"

Titled, "Sex and School: Adolescent Sexual Intercourse and Education," the study considers nine education measures:

标题：“性和学校：青少年的性交和学习”从九个方面研究

school attachment, 

学校出勤率

high school GPA, 

平均学分

college aspiration, 

学术抱负

college expectations, 

学术期待

problems in school, 

学校里犯的错误

ever truant, 

是否旷课

the number of days truant, 

旷课天数

school sanctions (suspended/expelled), and 

收到的处罚(处分/开除）

dropping out. 

开除

The analysis uses two waves of data from the "National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health" and the "Adolescent Health Academic Achievement Study."

分析者从两组数据进行研究"纵向的研究全国范围内的青少年健康”和“青少年健康学术研究”

Compared to abstainers who are otherwise similar to adolescents who have sex, youth who have sex only with partners with whom they are not romantically involved are at greater risk on the following measures:

相较于节欲者那些发生不纯性关系的年轻人处于高度危险之中，主要有以下几个方面：

experiencing problems in school, 

学校里犯错

being suspended or expelled, 

被处罚或是开除

being less likely to expect to attend college, 

不想进入大学

being less attached to school, and 

不想上学

earning lower grades. 

取得更少的学分

In contrast, youth who have sex only with romantic partners are not statistically different from virgins on any of these five measures, adjusting for other characteristics of the students. The only outcomes for which youth engaging in either type of sex are at greater risk than abstainers are truancy and, in some contexts, dropping out.

相反，那些拥有忠贞两性关系的年轻人跟处女统计上在以上五个方面并没有什麽不同。唯一的不同就是无论你是哪种性关系更高的危险在于你是否旷课或是辍学。

"Collectively, our results find that the detrimental outcomes commonly attributed to adolescent sexual intercourse occur mostly in non-romantic contexts," said McCarthy and Grodsky. "These findings raise doubts about the veracity of sexual education programs that link adolescent sex to a plethora of negative outcomes."

“总体上而言那些有危害的两性关系只发生在不纯的性关系上”McCarthy和Grodsky这么说“这些发现让人们更加质疑所谓研究性带给青少年健康的项目的合适性。”
