| 摘要: | 本研究探討男同志伴侶穩定經營開放式關係之實踐經驗，透過追蹤楊政銘（2018）之研究參與者，了解經過六年後之關係發展歷程與互動的變化。採以敘事研究方法，邀請三對持續經營開放式關係之男同志伴侶進行追蹤，年齡介於29至36歲，交往時間9至11年，透過個別與共同訪談進行資料收集，並以對偶觀點與敘事分析當中的「整體-內容」進行資料分析。研究發現，男同志開放式關係有其非線性發展之階段性，且能夠透過封閉與開放的動態來穩定關係。影響伴侶關係之互動包含進入開放之契機與個人動機、協議的訂立與共識、忌妒之管理與感受共榮以及社會文化之影響。整體而言，隨著伴侶彼此對關係共構之想像，關係可能維持部分單一伴侶制但「外包」性關係的形式發展，也可能朝向關係界線更模糊的非單一伴侶制發展，因此透過本研究可見跳脫單一伴侶制之可行性、可能性與多元性。最後，依據研究結果對實踐關係、實務工作與未來研究提出相關建議以供參考。
This study explores the practical experiences of gay male couples maintaining stable open relationships. By following up with the participants from Yang (2018) study, it examines the evolution and changes in their relationships over six years. Utilizing a narrative research approach, the study invited three gay male couples, aged 29 to 36 and in relationships for 9 to 11 years, who continue to engage in open relationships. Data was collected through individual and joint interviews and analyzed using a dyadic perspective and the "holistic-content" narrative analysis method.
The findings reveal that gay male open relationships exhibit a non-linear developmental trajectory, stabilizing through dynamic processes of closure and openness. Factors influencing relationship interactions include the initiation and personal motivations for entering open relationships, the establishment and consensus of agreements, the management of jealousy, feelings of compersion, and the impact of sociocultural contexts. Overall, as couples co-construct their relational imaginaries, their relationships may maintain a form of partial monogamy with "outsourced" sexual relationships or evolve towards more fluid non-monogamous boundaries. This study highlights the feasibility, potential, and diversity of relationships beyond monogamy.
Finally, based on the research findings, relevant recommendations for relationship practice, practical work, and future research are provided for reference. |
