This paper investigates the associations between stress and fatigue and sexual spontaneity among heterosexual married couples in Singapore, a high-income society with high work performance expectations and long working hours. Data on self-reported menstrual dates, sexual activity within the marriage, and stress and fatigue levels were collected from 657 married women aged 25–34 years through biweekly online diaries over 14 weeks. Using a two-way fixed effects logistic model which controlled for time-invariant individual fixed effects and menstrual cycle fixed effects, the paper tests three hypotheses: (1) sexual activity is significantly lower on weekdays compared to weekends and public holidays, (2) sexual activity is significantly lower during periods when women reported higher stress and fatigue, and (3) stress and fatigue are more predictive of sexual activity during weekdays than during weekends. Frequencies of marital sexual intercourse during the diary keeping period were 3.69 and 2.55 per 30 days among women aged 25–29 and 30–34 years, respectively, much lower than ideal frequencies of 6.40 and 5.23. Consistent with all three hypotheses, there was a strong positive weekend effect and a weak but positive public holiday effect, and strong negative effects of both stress and fatigue, especially during weekdays. There was no evidence of compensatory sex on weekends to make up for hectic workweeks. Increased support for work-life balance can contribute to more spontaneous marital sex lives and may reduce underachievement of ideals for sexual intimacy and childbearing in Singapore.

高压力社会中已婚夫妇的压力、疲劳和性自发性:来自新加坡性日记数据的证据

本文调查了新加坡异性恋夫妇的压力和疲劳与性自发性之间的关系,新加坡是一个高收入社会,工作绩效期望高,工作时间长。通过超过 14 周的双周在线日记,从 657 名年龄在 25-34 岁之间的已婚女性收集了有关自我报告的月经日期、婚内性活动以及压力和疲劳程度的数据。使用控制时间不变的个体固定效应和月经周期固定效应的双向固定效应逻辑模型,本文测试了三个假设:(1)与周末和公共假期相比,工作日的性活动显着减少,(2)在女性报告较高压力和疲劳期间,性活动显着减少,(3) 与周末相比,压力和疲劳更能预测工作日的性活动。25-29岁和30-34岁女性记日记期间婚内性交频率分别为每30天3.69次和2.55次,远低于理想频率6.40和5.23。与所有三个假设一致,周末有很强的积极影响,公共假期有弱但积极的影响,压力和疲劳都有很强的负面影响,尤其是在工作日。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。25-29岁和30-34岁女性记日记期间婚内性交频率分别为每30天3.69次和2.55次,远低于理想频率6.40和5.23。与所有三个假设一致,周末有很强的积极影响,公共假期有弱但积极的影响,压力和疲劳都有很强的负面影响,尤其是在工作日。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。25-29岁和30-34岁女性记日记期间婚内性交频率分别为每30天3.69次和2.55次,远低于理想频率6.40和5.23。与所有三个假设一致,周末有很强的积极影响,公共假期有弱但积极的影响,压力和疲劳都有很强的负面影响,尤其是在工作日。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。远低于理想频率 6.40 和 5.23。与所有三个假设一致,周末有很强的积极影响,公共假期有弱但积极的影响,压力和疲劳都有很强的负面影响,尤其是在工作日。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。远低于理想频率 6.40 和 5.23。与所有三个假设一致,周末有很强的积极影响,公共假期有弱但积极的影响,压力和疲劳都有很强的负面影响,尤其是在工作日。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。没有证据表明周末有补偿性的性行为来弥补忙碌的工作周。增加对工作与生活平衡的支持可以促进更自发的婚姻性生活,并可能减少新加坡性亲密和生育理想的实现不足。
