ABSTRACT

People’s beliefs about how to maintain sexual satisfaction have been associated with how they navigate sexual differences, but research has yet to explore the consequences of these beliefs for couples facing a distressing sexual issue. The current research extends past work on sexual growth beliefs (i.e., the view that sexual satisfaction requires continuous effort to maintain) and sexual destiny beliefs (i.e., the view that sexual satisfaction is the result of natural sexual compatibility with a partner) to couples for whom these beliefs might be especially consequential – those coping with sexual dysfunction. In a dyadic longitudinal study of 97 couples coping with women’s clinically significant low desire and arousal, we tested how sexual growth and destiny beliefs are associated with sexual, relationship, and personal well-being. We found that endorsing greater sexual growth beliefs was associated with higher sexual desire for both partners, whereas, with some exceptions, endorsing greater sexual destiny beliefs was linked to lower sexual desire and relationship satisfaction, more conflict, and more depressive and anxious symptoms. However, these effects did not persist one year later. Our findings highlight the implications of sexual growth and destiny beliefs for both couple members when navigating a chronic sexual difficulty.

驾驭女性的低欲望:性成长和命运信念以及夫妻幸福

摘要

人们关于如何保持性满足的信念与他们如何应对性差异有关,但研究尚未探讨这些信念对面临令人痛苦的性问题的夫妇的影响。目前的研究将过去关于性成长信念(即性满足需要持续努力维持的观点)和性命运信念(即性满足是与伴侣的自然性兼容性的结果的观点)扩展到夫妻这些信念可能特别重要——那些应对性功能障碍的人。在一项针对 97 对应对女性临床上显着的低欲望和性唤起的夫妇进行的二元纵向研究中,我们测试了性成长和命运信念如何与性、关系和个人幸福感相关联。我们发现,支持更大的性成长信念与伴侣双方更高的性欲有关,而除了一些例外,支持更大的性命运信念与较低的性欲和关系满意度、更多的冲突以及更多的抑郁和焦虑症状有关。然而,这些影响并没有在一年后持续存在。我们的研究结果强调了性成长和命运信念对夫妻双方在应对慢性性困难时的影响。
