Interview with Lucy, 18-19, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version (Ref: MAG18SS)

This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Anonymised transcript of an interview with a young woman from Huddersfield (Lucy). She was working as a dental nurse but is now back at college doing A levels in Sociology, English, English Literature and European Studies and hopes to go on to university to be an occupational therapist. Her parents divorced when she was 13 and she has an older sister (20), lives with her mum (Dad is in London). Felt her ex-boyfriend tried to pressure her into having sex (they first had intercourse when she was 15), and was romantically involved with a male friend who has now moved away. She has also had a sexual relationship with another male partner (her first serious boyfriend), and talked about pleasure (or a lack of) and using condoms with this partner. Most recently she had been 'going out with' a boy that she knew from college, who she slept with and decided to start taking 'the pill'. She is looking for a serious relationship rather than casual sex, but feels very self-conscious because of her braces. She talked about risk (mostly in relation to AIDS and HIV), but did not consider herself as at risk - though is worried about a friend who has had multiple sex partners but is not using barrier methods of contraception (like condoms). Thought double standards surrounding gender and sexual reputation were 'unfair', in that men are allowed to sleep around while women who do the same, or even carry their own condoms, are deemed 'slags'.

这是一份对来自哈德斯菲尔德的年轻女性Lucy的匿名访谈转录本。她曾担任牙科护士，现回学院攻读社会学、英语、英国文学及欧洲研究的A-level课程，希望进入大学成为一名职业治疗师。她13岁时父母离异，有一个20岁的姐姐，目前与母亲同住（父亲在伦敦）。她提到前男友曾试图强迫她发生性关系（她15岁时首次性交），并与一位现已搬走的男性朋友有过恋情。她还与另一位男性伴侣（她第一个认真交往的男友）有过性关系，谈及与该伴侣相处时的快感（或缺乏快感）以及避孕套的使用情况。最近，她与学院认识的一名男孩约会并发生了性关系，决定开始服用避孕药。她渴望建立认真的恋爱关系而非随意性行为，但因佩戴牙套而深感自卑。她谈及风险（主要与艾滋病（AIDS）和人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）相关），但认为自己无风险——不过她担心一位有多个性伴侣却不使用屏障避孕法（barrier methods of contraception）（如避孕套）的朋友。她认为性别与性声誉方面的双重标准不公平：男性可随意性交，而女性若有同样行为甚至自备避孕套，便会被视为‘荡妇’。
