Gender differences in sexual desire have been documented in the literature, with sexual desire being correlated with sexual satisfaction; however, data on sexual desire and sexual satisfaction among nonheterosexual samples are more limited, as are data examining sexual desire toward oneself (solitary) and another person (dyadic).
To examine differences between men and women, between heterosexuals and nonheterosexuals, and the interaction of gender and sexual orientation in solitary and dyadic sexual desire (partner and attractive person related) and sexual satisfaction, and to explore the predictive role of solitary and dyadic sexual desire on sexual satisfaction, controlling for gender and sexual orientation.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with an online sample of 1013 participants recruited between 2017 and 2020 (552 women, 54.5%; 461 men, 45.5%; 802 heterosexuals, 79.2%; 211 nonheterosexuals, 20.8%).
Participants completed a web survey with a sociodemographic sheet, the Sexual Desire Inventory-2, and the Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction.
Current findings indicated that men scored significantly higher on solitary sexual desire (P < .001, partial η2 = 0.015) and attractive person-related desire (P < .001, partial η2 = 0.015) when compared with women. Likewise, nonheterosexuals scored significantly higher on solitary sexual desire (P < .001, partial η2 = 0.053) and attractive person-related desire (P < .001, partial η2 = 0.033) vs heterosexuals. In addition, partner-related desire (β = 0.33, P < .001) was a positive and significant predictor of sexual satisfaction, whereas solitary desire (β = -0.18, P < .001) and attractive person-related desire (β = -0.23, P < .001) were negative predictors.
Sexual desire toward an intimate partner appears to be experienced in similar levels among heterosexual and nonheterosexual men and women, while solitary and attractive person-related sexual desire appears to be more strong among men and nonheterosexual individuals.
The current study did not use a dyadic-centered approach, only individual perceptions and experiences. However, it explored solitary sexual desire and partner- and attractive person-related sexual desire in a large sample of heterosexual and nonheterosexual men and women as predictors of sexual satisfaction.
Overall, men and nonheterosexual individuals experienced more solitary and attractive person-related sexual desire. In addition, partner-related sexual desire was a positive predictor of sexual satisfaction, whereas solitary sexual desire and attractive person-related desire were negative predictors of sexual satisfaction.
文献中记录了性欲望在性别上的差异,性欲望与性满足有关;然而,关于非异性恋样本的性欲望和性满足的数据更为有限,关于对自己(独身)和另一个人(对偶)的性欲望的数据也是如此。
检查男性和女性之间、异性恋者和非异性恋者之间的差异,以及性取向和性取向在独身和对偶性欲望(伴侣和有吸引力的人相关)和性满足方面的相互作用,并探讨独身和对偶性欲望对性满足的预测作用,同时控制性别和性取向。
这是一项横断面研究,使用 2017 年至 2020 年招募的在线样本 1013 名参与者(552 名女性,占 54.5%;461 名男性,占 45.5%;802 名异性恋者,占 79.2%;211 名非异性恋者,占 20.8%)。
参与者完成了一份包含社会人口学表格、性欲望量表 2 项和全球性满足量表的网络调查。
目前的研究结果表明,与女性相比,男性在独身性欲望(P<0.001,偏η2=0.015)和有吸引力的人相关欲望(P<0.001,偏η2=0.015)方面的得分明显更高。同样,非异性恋者在独身性欲望(P<0.001,偏η2=0.053)和有吸引力的人相关欲望(P<0.001,偏η2=0.033)方面的得分也明显高于异性恋者。此外,伴侣相关欲望(β=0.33,P<0.001)是性满足的积极且显著的预测因素,而独身欲望(β=-0.18,P<0.001)和有吸引力的人相关欲望(β=-0.23,P<0.001)是消极的预测因素。
在异性恋和非异性恋男性和女性中,似乎对亲密伴侣的性欲望体验相似,而独身和有吸引力的人相关的性欲望似乎在男性和非异性恋个体中更强烈。
本研究没有采用以伴侣为中心的方法,只考虑了个人的看法和体验。然而,它在一个较大的异性恋和非异性恋男性和女性样本中探讨了独身和伴侣及有吸引力的人相关的性欲望作为性满足的预测因素。
总之,男性和非异性恋个体经历了更多的独身和有吸引力的人相关的性欲望。此外,伴侣相关的性欲望是性满足的积极预测因素,而独身性欲望和有吸引力的人相关的欲望是性满足的消极预测因素。
