Guilt, Pain, and the Absence of Pleasure: The Sexual Socialization of Black Female Adolescents

Title of Event: Guilt, Pain, and the Absence of Pleasure: The Sexual Socialization of Black Female Adolescents

Adolescent sexuality is largely constructed by society, peers, family, and sexual scripts. Black female adolescents are often socialized to expect sexual pain and guilt over sexual pleasure. In this session, we will explore Black female adolescents’ pleasure expectancies, the role of sexual guilt, and how society socializes them to expect more negative outcomes.
