Abstract The association between positive and negative affect and sexual behavior in 39 MSM with and without hypersexuality (HS) was explored using ecological momentary assessment. Participants reported their current positive and negative affect three times per day and their sexual behavior each morning and evening. The relationship between affect and sexual behavior differed between men with or without HS. In those with HS, the timing of and interactions between experienced affect differentially predicted types of sexual behavior, indicating differing mechanisms driving partnered sexual behavior and masturbation. These findings lend support to conceptualizing HS behavior as a coping strategy for affective arousal.

情绪对有或没有过性恋的男性性行为的影响

摘要采用生态瞬时评估方法，探讨了39例有无性欲亢进（HS）的MSM患者的正面和负面影响与性行为之间的关系。参与者报告说，他们目前每天有3次正面和负面的影响，每天早晨和晚上都有性行为。有或没有HS的男性之间，情感和性行为之间的关系有所不同。在那些患有HS的人中，经历的时间和他们之间的相互作用会影响预测的性行为类型，这表明驱动伴侣性行为和手淫的机制不同。这些发现为将HS行为概念化为情感唤醒的应对策略提供了支持。
