N2  - This journal article is based on a wider PhD project and looks at "What circumstances enable and/or restrain young women in intimate relationships from resisting commonsense gender practices that impact negatively on their well being?" The author, a clinical psychologist working with young women at National Women's Hospital, Auckland, draws upon knowledge provided by a series of small group discussions with colleagues, educational experts, and women who have been exposed to male partner violence. A feminist poststructuralist perspective is employed. The author argues several discourses affect young women's ability to say no to penetrative sex. These are discussed in relation to the consequent effects this has upon their well being
