Body satisfaction predicts sexual quality among women and men; however, mechanisms of the association are largely unknown. We hypothesized that sexual anxiety would mediate average associations over 1 year between individuals' body satisfaction and their own and their partner's sexual quality, which is comprised of their sexual satisfaction and dissatisfaction, in 123 mixed-sex cohabiting couples. Results of Actor-Partner Interdependence Models extended to Mediation (APIMeM) and tested via multilevel modelling partially supported the hypotheses. Specifically, individuals' body satisfaction indirectly predicted their own and their partner's sexual satisfaction through individuals' sexual anxiety, and indirectly predicted their own, but not their partner's sexual dissatisfaction through individuals' sexual anxiety. Thus, when individuals are relatively less satisfied with their bodies, they may experience anxiety during sexual encounters, which then interferes with their own and their partner's sexual quality.
身体满意度预测了女性和男性的性质量；然而，这种关联的机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。我们假设性焦虑将在 123 对混合性别同居伴侣中，在个体的身体满意度与其自身和伴侣的性质量（包括性满意度和不满意度）之间的平均关联上进行为期 1 年的中介。 Actor-Partner Interdependence Models extended to Mediation（APIMeM）的结果通过多层次建模进行了测试，部分支持了这些假设。具体而言，个体的身体满意度通过个体的性焦虑间接预测了他们自己和伴侣的性满意度，而通过个体的性焦虑间接预测了他们自己的性不满意度，但不预测他们伴侣的性不满意度。因此，当个体对自己的身体不太满意时，他们在性接触期间可能会感到焦虑，这会干扰他们自己和伴侣的性质量。
