Abstract
Social work has historically been reactive in approaching young women's sexuality, often focusing on the consequences of unintended pregnancy. This pattern has inadvertently perpetuated the silencing of young women's sexual selves, leaving them vulnerable in sexual decision making. This article presents a new conceptual model to explore relational influences on young women's sexual negotiations. It extends the theory of planned behavior, previously used to predict contraceptive use, by incorporating the self‐in‐relation model, which addresses gender differences in decision making. A case scenario depicts how practitioners can explore the difficulties of sexual negotiation and develop possible solutions in a manner that is consistent with young women's lived experiences.
