Much of what is known about emotions and sexuality explores the relationship enhancing qualities of positive affect. This research extends the current literature by focusing on the association between negative feelings and sexual thoughts and experiences in the context of close relationships, controlling for the effect of positive feelings. Specifically, the unique effects of daily negative feelings toward one's partner in general and specific negative feelings (i.e., anger, anxiety, and sadness) on the sexual experience of heterosexual, gay male, and lesbian relationships were explored. Participants completed an initial questionnaire followed by daily diary measures for 14 consecutive days. Positive feelings were positively associated with sexual variables as expected. Negative feelings were associated with increases in sexual behaviors for heterosexual men and women and gay men, but not lesbian women. Sadness showed a unique positive association with arousal, lust, wanted sexual behavior, and sexual behavior for heterosexual men and women and gay men, but not lesbian women. Neither anger nor anxiety was uniquely associated with the sexual experience for heterosexual or same-sex couples.
目前关于情感与性取向的诸多研究探讨了积极情感的关系增强特质。本研究通过关注亲密关系背景下负面情绪与性想法及经历之间的关联，并控制积极情绪的影响，拓展了现有文献。具体而言，研究探讨了总体上对伴侣的日常负面情绪以及特定负面情绪（即愤怒、焦虑和悲伤）对异性恋、男同性恋和女同性恋关系中性体验的独特影响。参与者先完成一份初始问卷，随后连续14天进行每日日记记录。正如预期的那样，积极情绪与性变量呈正相关。负面情绪与异性恋男性和女性以及男同性恋的性行为增加有关，但与女同性恋女性无关。悲伤与异性恋男性和女性以及男同性恋的性唤起、欲望、主动的性行为和性行为呈独特的正相关，但与女同性恋女性无关。愤怒和焦虑与异性恋或同性伴侣的性体验均无独特关联。
