Young women s narratives of same-sex sexual desire in adolescence.

The aim of this study was to investigate young women s retrospective narratives of their experiences of same-sex sexual desire in adolescence. Seven women aged 19-25 were interviewed. An across-narrative analysis was conducted, producing five major themes. It is anticipated that this research will help to redress the missing discourse of desire in social constructions of younger women s sexuality and contribute to the development of knowledge and research related to queer female adolescent sexuality and sexual health.
