Twenty-six married couples with alcoholic husbands who sought marital therapy were compared with two groups of couples without alcohol-related problems, 26 couples with marital conflict (MC) and 26 with no marital conflict (NC), on a range of sexual satisfaction variables. As predicted, the alcoholic and MC couples did not differ and both of these groups of couples reported less sexual satisfaction than the NC couples. Alcoholic and MC couples, in comparison with NC couples, reported less frequent intercourse, more change desired in intercourse frequency, greater misperception about the amount of change in sex frequency desired by their mate and more disagreement about sex. In addition, the finding that older alcoholics had less frequent intercourse replicated similar results by Jensen. Limitations of the present research and needed future research are discussed.
选取了26对丈夫酗酒并寻求婚姻治疗的已婚夫妇，与另外两组无酒精相关问题的夫妇进行比较，其中一组是26对存在婚姻冲突（MC）的夫妇，另一组是26对没有婚姻冲突（NC）的夫妇，比较内容涉及一系列性满意度变量。正如所预测的那样，酗酒夫妇和存在婚姻冲突的夫妇并无差异，这两组夫妇报告的性满意度均低于无婚姻冲突的夫妇。与无婚姻冲突的夫妇相比，酗酒夫妇和存在婚姻冲突的夫妇报告的性交频率更低，更希望改变性交频率，对配偶期望的性交频率变化量存在更大误解，并且在性方面存在更多分歧。此外，老年酗酒者性交频率较低这一发现重复了詹森的类似结果。文中讨论了本研究的局限性以及未来所需的研究。
