Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived influence that status and social power have on the sexual behavior of 15 male football players at a Southeastern university. Participants were individually interviewed and findings revealed four major themes concerning college football players: (a) they have a polarizing image among women, (b) their status influences their self-perception and behavior, (c) women are attracted to their status, and (d) they believed women perceived benefits in having sex with them. Understanding the lived experience of college football athletes can aid in further studies of their behaviors as well as the development of programs and services focused on at-risk behavior prevention.
