Abstract

UNLABELLED

Background The aim of this study was to describe important characteristics of Australian adults' heterosexual regular sexual relationships and examine how these characteristics have changed since 2002.

METHODS

Computer-assisted landline and mobile telephone interviews were completed by a representative sample of 20 094 Australian residents aged 16-69 years. The participation rate among eligible people was 66.2%. Data were collected on respondents' social and demographic characteristics, relationship status and duration, cohabitation status, partner's age, contraception use, expectations about sexual exclusivity, sexual partners in the previous year, actual and ideal frequencies of sex and levels of physical pleasure and emotional satisfaction in their relationships.

RESULTS

Most sexually active respondents 89%; 74% of all respondents, were in a heterosexual regular relationship. Most (97%) expected sexual exclusivity in their relationships, with 3% reporting extradyadic sex in the previous year. Respondents reported an average frequency of sex of 1.44 times per week, with most reporting very high levels of physical pleasure (men, 88%; women, 76%) and emotional satisfaction (men, 86%; women, 84%) in their relationships. Comparisons with data from the First Australian Study of Health and Relationships revealed that significantly more sexually active men were in a relationship in the current survey; that respondents' average frequency of sex was significantly lower; and that women's reports of extreme emotional satisfaction had risen. Otherwise, results were consistent with those of the first study.

CONCLUSIONS

In general, results suggested that the characteristics of Australians' heterosexual relationships changed little between 2002 and 2013. Despite a decline in respondents' average weekly frequency of sex, the majority of respondents reported being in a highly satisfying, sexually exclusive relationship.

摘要

未标注

背景本研究旨在描述澳大利亚成年人异性恋固定性关系的重要特征，并考察自2002年以来这些特征是如何变化的。

方法

通过对20094名年龄在16 - 69岁的澳大利亚居民进行代表性抽样，完成了计算机辅助的固定电话和移动电话访谈。符合条件者的参与率为66.2%。收集了受访者的社会和人口特征、恋爱状况及持续时间、同居状况、伴侣年龄、避孕措施使用情况、对性排他性的期望、上一年的性伴侣、实际和理想的性行为频率以及他们关系中的身体愉悦程度和情感满意度等数据。

结果

大多数性活跃受访者（89%；占所有受访者的74%）处于异性恋固定关系中。大多数人（97%）期望在关系中保持性排他，3%的人报告上一年有婚外性行为。受访者报告的性行为平均频率为每周1.44次，大多数人报告在关系中有很高的身体愉悦程度（男性为88%；女性为76%）和情感满意度（男性为86%；女性为84%）。与首次澳大利亚健康与关系研究的数据相比，本次调查显示，性活跃男性处于恋爱关系中的比例显著更高；受访者的平均性行为频率显著更低；女性对极度情感满意度的报告有所上升。除此之外，结果与第一项研究一致。
