Wysocki, Konrad Ryszard2024-06-212024-06-212024red. Kinga Matuszko, Mikołaj Głos, Kazimierz Maciąg i Barbara Drozd, Obszary Polonistyki 7 / 2024, s. 121-131e-ISBN 978-83-8277-176-3https://repozytorium.ur.edu.pl/handle/item/10635In the article, I analyse the components of sexual communication of young heterosexual men, such as: the context of the conversation, the characteristics of the group, the arrangement of space, and the topics discussed and not discussed. Taking the perspective of the social theory of sexuality and the sociology of language, I come to the conclusion that sexual communication is a complex process that depends on a number of factors. Based on in-depth interviews with young men, I conclude that sexual communication (1) is entangled in the social interpretation of sexuality, (2) is organized around the “serious-entertainment” axis, (3) appropriate strategies are undertaken in order to mitigate the negative effects discussing sexuality, (4) talking about sexuality has an educational, personal identification, normalizing, entertaining and integrating function.polAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/sexual communicationsexheterosexualitymensexualitybookPart10.15584/978-83-8277-176-3_12
