The present study characterized the associations of three sex life issues (importance of, satisfaction with, and ease in talking about sex life) with social support and reciprocity. We utilised survey data of working-aged men and women (n = 21,101) from the population-based random sample of the Health and Social Support (HeSSup) Study (40% response). The respondents with abundant social support considered sex life important, were satisfied with it, and found it easy to talk about sex life more often than those with less social support. Social support in sex life offered by one's own spouse/partner was important particularly to women, not available from the other sources to the same extent. Friends functioned as significant positive sources of support in sex life particularly among women, but relatives did not. Mutual reciprocity was associated with favourable perceptions of sex life. Persons lacking established primary social support should have easy access to services.
本研究描述了性生活的三个方面（性生活的重要性、对性生活的满意度以及谈论性生活的难易程度）与社会支持和互惠之间的关联。我们使用了基于人群的健康与社会支持（HeSSup）研究随机样本中工作年龄男性和女性的调查数据（回复率为40%，n = 21101）。与社会支持较少的受访者相比，拥有丰富社会支持的受访者更常认为性生活重要、对性生活感到满意且觉得谈论性生活很容易。自己的配偶/伴侣提供的性生活方面的社会支持对女性尤为重要，其他来源在同等程度上则无法提供。朋友尤其在女性中是性生活中重要的积极支持来源，但亲属并非如此。相互互惠与对性生活的良好认知相关。缺乏既定主要社会支持的人应能方便地获得服务。
