Gender-based differences in body image dissatisfaction are not conclusive. Women's body experiences and their impact on sexual satisfaction may advance knowledge on how heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian women internalize heterosexist values. In this study, we quantitatively examined the degree of body image and sexual dissatisfaction experienced by heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian women, to determine whether body dissatisfaction can predict sexual dissatisfaction. Three hundred and fifty-four women completed an online survey measuring body and sexual dissatisfaction. No sexual orientation-based differences were observed in body or sexual dissatisfaction; however, body concerns were found to have less influence on sexual dissatisfaction in lesbian women compared to heterosexual and bisexual women. Standards of beauty remain constant among all women, yet removing themselves from the male gaze may be interpreted as a protective factor which shields women from expressing concern about their appearance during sexual activity.
基于性别的身体意象不满差异尚无定论。女性的身体体验及其对性满意度的影响可能会推动我们对异性恋、双性恋和女同性恋女性如何内化异性恋价值观的认识。在本研究中,我们定量考察了异性恋、双性恋和女同性恋女性所经历的身体意象和性不满程度,以确定身体不满是否能预测性不满。354名女性完成了一项测量身体和性不满的在线调查。在身体或性不满方面未观察到基于性取向的差异;然而,与异性恋和双性恋女性相比,女同性恋女性的身体担忧对性不满的影响较小。所有女性的美丽标准保持不变,但摆脱男性凝视可能被视为一种保护因素,使女性在性行为中不必表达对外表的担忧。
