Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Austin, 2004.

Sexual agency among adolescents at first sex is a relatively new area of inquiry among psychologists and sociologists (Martin 1996; Phillips 2000; Tolman 2002), and, because agency is connected to demographic outcomes such as contraceptive use and pregnancy, it has recently drawn the attention of reproductive health researchers (Rickert, Sanghvi et al. 2002; Jejeebhoy and Bott 2003; Tolman 2003). Building on this nascent body of research, I investigate agency at first sex among Brazilian females in the metropolitan areas of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and Recife, Pernambuco. I conducted 25 focus groups between April and December, 2002 with lower- and middle-income females 18--21 and 30--39 years of age, rendering a total of 179 participants. I analyze how the sexual scripts of the priapic male in juxtaposition to the ever-demure female serve to constrict authentic sexual response. I found that females had sexual intercourse at debut most commonly out of fear of partner abandonment or peer pressure. Moreover, the majority did not take initiative at sexual debut and they placed the males' sexual needs and interests before their own. Many of the participants experienced sexual coercion at an interpersonal level (the male partner verbally or physically threatened her) or at a cultural level (she anticipated a negative outcome such as partner abandonment or physical violence). Lower-income 18--21 year olds told the most agentic stories of challenging sexual coercion.

520 $a Sexual agency among adolescents at first sex is a relatively new area of inquiry among psychologists and sociologists (Martin 1996; Phillips 2000; Tolman 2002), and, because agency is connected to demographic outcomes such as contraceptive use and pregnancy, it has recently drawn the attention of reproductive health researchers (Rickert, Sanghvi et al. 2002; Jejeebhoy and Bott 2003; Tolman 2003). Building on this nascent body of research, I investigate agency at first sex among Brazilian females in the metropolitan areas of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and Recife, Pernambuco. I conducted 25 focus groups between April and December, 2002 with lower- and middle-income females 18--21 and 30--39 years of age, rendering a total of 179 participants. I analyze how the sexual scripts of the priapic male in juxtaposition to the ever-demure female serve to constrict authentic sexual response. I found that females had sexual intercourse at debut most commonly out of fear of partner abandonment or peer pressure. Moreover, the majority did not take initiative at sexual debut and they placed the males' sexual needs and interests before their own. Many of the participants experienced sexual coercion at an interpersonal level (the male partner verbally or physically threatened her) or at a cultural level (she anticipated a negative outcome such as partner abandonment or physical violence). Lower-income 18--21 year olds told the most agentic stories of challenging sexual coercion.
520 $a Conformity to traditional, patriarchal modes of interaction continues to dominate the sexual interaction, and as a consequence, some degree of sexual coercion upon females is present in the majority of debut experiences. Thus, in this context, it is useful to conceive of coercion as occurring along a continuum. Given both the widespread lack of agency and the ubiquity of coercion, it follows that strategies to reduce negative health outcomes of adolescent sexual behavior which fail to address gender inequality in society at large---or at the very least within the sexual sphere---leave females fundamentally unable to protect themselves from sexual coercion and the concomitant risks of unwanted and usually unprotected sexual intercourse.
