Abstract
Regret sex is a phenomenon beyond feeling pressured to engage in sexual activity. Regret sex is different from rape in that no coercion or pressure precedes the act. In this study, 10 racially diverse young-adult women between the ages of 19 to 25 were interviewed for the purpose of exploring the concept of regret sex. Qualitative descriptive analysis revealed that women regret the consequences of regretted sex more so than the actual sex. In the moment, they consented and enjoyed the physicality of sex. Participants describe consent as an ongoing negotiation. Poetic transcription was used to elicit the essential story.
