Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 性別教育研究所 === 96 === Sexuality in the mind and experience of a divorced and single-parent female Chinese abstract   As feminine consciousness heads up gradually, female’s status has been enhanced in politics, legal sector, education as well as in the job; but as compared to the above mentioned female’s social participation, female’s sexuality situation improvement is still in great lag, not to say the fringing effect on the sexuality world of a divorced single-parent female. This study is mainly to understand the sexuality experience before and after divorce for a divorced single-parent woman and in turn investigate the meaning of sexuality fulfillment history under the social situation change and lust experience after a woman’s divorce; is it a limitation, dragging, or an exit and enhancement? and to this, how do they explain? The researchers use in-depth interview and try to perform analysis and discussion on data collected from the life story description of the four divorced and single-parent women who ever lived in ”Single-parent parent family of Kaohsiung City”, and we obtain the following conclusions. 1. The sexuality experience of divorced single-parent woman   The expectation on the quality and meaning of “relationship” by a divorced single-parent female is a key factor for her to decide if she is going to get involved with the sexuality activity. Therefore, they tend to take repellant attitude on “sex” that does not have love as basis such as the one night stand due to fear in the mind. After their divorce, between the push and pull of each section of relationship, their mobility becomes very weak due the some real world’s concerns, they usually tend to take defensive posture along with the situation change; therefore, their sexuality experience in the current life stage is filled with lots of hesitation and emptiness. 2. Social situation of sexuality fulfillment   1. The worry about economic security is the irremovable big load for a divorced single-parent female, hence, while getting busy with the daily life, the expansion of sexuality relationship is relatively unimportant. 2. Under the social priority of the fulfillment of mother’s duty, female tends to bury her own emotion and desire and select to behave as a good mother before as a woman. 3. The residual shadow brought about by the last marriage will make them hesitating when they have to face again the love issues. 4. It is not easy for a female to find an appropriate male target after the divorce; moreover, under the social discrimination tag of “divorced woman”, female has lost marriage protection umbrella and the positive evaluation from the society. 5. Under the social regulation of “good woman does not touch herself”, female tends to take resistant attitude on masturbation. The above mentioned real social situation has made divorced single-parent female to reconsider love and love value and turn to live a self-sufficiency life. 3. Recognition and imagination of sexuality   All the feelings of frustration learned from the life have let divorced single-parent female take hesitating and closed attitude, and they do not easily trust people so as to keep personal dignity and avoid more injuries. Therefore, divorced and single-parent female thinks that: 1. sexuality is relatively not that important. 2. sexuality must be built on morality. 3. Love is the core of sexuality. However, under the self-expectation of ”good woman”, they tend to make themselves women that do not have sexuality; therefore, under the double confinement of psychology and reality, the development of sexuality becomes more difficult, and there is almost no exit for the sexuality.
