Rough Sex: Aktueller Diskussions- und Forschungsstand

Zusammenfassung

Unter hartem Sex (engl. rough sex) wird aggressiver konsensueller Sex verstanden. Dazu gehören beispielsweise Aktivitäten wie Aufs-Bett-Werfen, Kleider-Herunterreißen, Haare-Ziehen, Schlagen oder Würgen. Rough-Sex-Praktiken sind in den letzten Jahren medial sichtbarer und vermutlich auch populärer geworden. Ihnen sind ganze Pornografie-Gattungen gewidmet und sie werden in Sozialen Medien diskutiert. Große Bevölkerungsteile berichten eigene Erfahrungen mit ausgewählten harten Sexpraktiken. Die Normalisierung von Rough Sex wird mit verschiedenen Gefahren, insbesondere für Frauen, in Verbindung gebracht. Der vorliegende Beitrag fasst den aktuellen Diskussionsstand zusammen, weist auf Forschungslücken hin und diskutiert Konsequenzen für die sexualpädagogische Praxis.

Abstract

Rough sex is defined as aggressive consensual sex. This includes activities such as throwing a person onto the bed, ripping off clothes, pulling hair, spanking or choking. Rough sex practices have become more visible in the media and probably more popular in the population in recent years: Entire pornography genres are dedicated to them and they are discussed on social media. Large segments of the population report experiences with selected rough sex practices. The normalization of rough sex is associated with various dangers, especially for women. The current article summarizes the current state of the debate, points out research gaps, and discusses consequences for sex education.
