According to the LiveScience of October 24, a new study shows that not all men get the message that no just means no。

　　The 2000 report by the Department of Justice in the US shows that 17.6 percent of American women are the victims of a completed or attempted rape at some point in their lives. The finding that sexual aggression is associated with problems processing women's cues doesn't excuse these attacks, study researcher Teresa Treat, a psychologist at the University of Iowa, said in a statement。

　　"But if we can better understand how women's cues might be misinterpreted, we'll be better able to address the difficulties of some young men that can result in such negative consequences," Treat said。

　　The study turned out that the men were pretty good in general at remembering girls who'd shown interest, especially if they were pretty and provocatively dressed. But not all of the participants were equally skilled at remembering the women's body language. Those who had been in frequent serious relationships did better at remembering the women's original expressions, while those whose surveys revealed them to be sexually aggressive did worse。

　　While the study suggests a link between ability to remember a woman's interest and sexual experience, researchers aren't yet sure how the two are related. Sexual aggression may cloud men's memory of what women really want, or an inability to properly read women might lead to sexual aggression. Other factors are almost certainly involved, according to the researchers。

　　据生活科学网站10月24日报道，一项最新研究表明，并不是所有的男性都能够正确获取(女性)做出“不就是拒绝”的暗示。

　　美国司法部的2000报告指出，美国17.6%的女性在生活中遭遇过性侵犯或者是强奸未遂的受害者。研究人员、美国爱荷华大学心理学家特蕾莎 屈特说，报告将性侵犯和女性进行的暗示联系起来，但是这并不能作为性侵犯的借口。

　　屈特说：“如果我们能够更好的理解这些女性暗示如何被误解，那么就能够帮助解决一些年轻男性遇到的难题，以免产生更多的不良后果。”

　　研究表明，男性一般都很善于记住那些做出感兴趣暗示的女孩，尤其是那些长相漂亮和穿着挑逗的女孩。但是并不是所有参与调查者都一样善于记住女性的身势语。长期处于正常严肃的两性关系中的男性能够很好地记住女性做出的暗示，但是调查显示倾向于性侵犯的男性不能很好地记住女性做出的暗示。

　　研究者说，虽然研究表明记住女性喜好的能力和性经验之间有某种联系，但是他们还不能确定两者是如何联系在一起的。性侵犯可能使男性不清楚女性到底想要什么，或者不能准确读懂女性暗示的男性可能会对她们进行性侵犯。另外，还有其他因素也会导致性侵犯。
