Substantial evidence has demonstrated that sexual dysfunction is negatively associated with the sexual satisfaction of individuals in a committed heterosexual relationship. However, little is known about their relationship based on couple data, especially in non-Western societies. We extended this study to examine the extent to which men's and women's sexual dysfunction were associated with their own as well as their partners' sexual satisfaction. Participants were 1,014 heterosexual couples who participated in a community-based survey in Hong Kong in 2017. Using the actor-partner interdependence model and structural equation modeling, our results indicated that the dyadic model fit the data better than the individual model. Women's orgasm and men's sexual desire functioning were significant predictors of both own and partner's sexual satisfaction, and these two domains had similar effects on the sexual satisfaction of both men and women. These findings are discussed in terms of the importance of taking a dyadic approach to research and enhance sexual health and well-being of heterosexual couples.
大量证据表明,性障碍与处于稳定异性关系中的个体的性满足感呈负相关。然而,基于夫妻数据的相关研究却知之甚少,尤其是在非西方社会。我们将该研究扩展到考察男性和女性的性障碍在何种程度上与其自身以及伴侣的性满足感有关。参与者为 1014 对参加 2017 年在香港进行的一项基于社区的调查的异性恋夫妇。使用演员-伙伴相互依存模型和结构方程模型,我们的结果表明,双变量模型比个体模型更符合数据。女性的性高潮和男性的性欲望功能是自身和伴侣性满足感的重要预测因素,这两个领域对男性和女性的性满足感都有相似的影响。这些发现从采用双变量方法研究和提高异性恋夫妇的性健康和幸福感的重要性方面进行了讨论。
