Abstract
The centrality of communication in safer sex promotion is widely recognized. Chinese young women face unique challenges when it comes to sex communication. Little is known about Chinese college women's experience related to condom use and sexual communication. This study collected qualitative data (n = 101) in a Shanghai university through participant responses to open-ended interview questions and the researcher's reflexive journal during an interpersonal sexual health intervention. Guided by a sexual scripting perspective, the analysis yielded important insight into these college women's experience of communicating about sex and condom use. Significance for prevention practice and theory development is discussed.
