對於許多男女來說，青春期是他們與另一個人第一次性接觸的時期。這個時期是他們“墜入情網”和發現他們生理反應“真相”的意義的時候。我們前面闡述的性別角色腳本形成中所謂“性的”含義也揭示了它本身的意思：已經灌輸給男女青少年的這種行為差異，現在以嶄新的面目和強化的方式呈現在他們相互的性吸引之中。其結果是，他們開始有能力從容謹慎地從事人際間的性欲行為。
但是，青春期也是“腳本混淆（script
confusion）”的“規整”時期，也就是說，是年輕人必須在許多競爭的性腳本之間做出選擇的時期。同時，他們必須處理其它的難題——逐漸從父母那裏獲得自立、在結交異性成員時缺乏經驗、關於人體性解剖和性生理細節的好奇、需要更多自由的強烈願望及對約束的逆反、逐漸不再相信所有的權威、在社會“找到自己適當的位置”的願望並規劃自己的將來、在爭取個人獨立之時被夥伴接納的需要，等等。簡而言之，當青春少年/少女的身體正經歷重大的變化之時，他們每次都必須發展新的社會生活技能並學習大量涉及自我的和這個世界的知識。
因而，在當代世界，青春期是一個挑戰人際關係中的老老少少諸如此類難題的時期。因為父母與其他成人想要保護青年人，他們通常會勸阻早期任何的性體驗，但是這些做法常常讓人感到保護過頭甚至是壓制。不管怎樣說，無論成年人贊成與否，大多數青春少年/少女不久就會有第一次性交。

Stages of Development: Adolescence

Erotic Behavior 2

For many females and males, adolescence is the time of their first sexual contact with another person. It is a time when they “fall in love” and discover the “true” significance of some of their physical responses. The “sexual” meaning of the preceding gender role scripting also reveals itself: The behavioral differences that have been cultivated in girls and boys now appear in a new light and reinforce the mutual attraction between female and male adolescents. As a result, they become capable of - and interested in - deliberate interpersonal erotic behavior.
However, adolescence is also the “classical” period of “script confusion”, i.e. a time when young people must choose between many
competing sexual scripts. Simultaneously, they have to deal with other issues - the gradual emancipation form their parents, the lack of experience in approaching the other sex, a curiosity about the details of human sexual anatomy and physiology, a desire for more personal freedom and a rebellion against restrictions, a growing distrust of all authority, the wish to find one’s “proper place in the world” and to plan for the future, the need to be accepted by one’s peers while striving for one’s own independence, etc. In short, adolescents must develop new social skills and learn a great deal about themselves and the world at a time when their bodies are undergoing significant changes.
Thus, in our modern world, adolescence is a trying period for young and old alike. Parents and other adults usually discourage any early sexual experimentation, because they want to protect the young, but these often feel overprotected and even oppressed. In any case, most of them soon have their first sexual intercourse with or without adult approval. |
