Abstract

Sexual satisfaction plays an important role in relationship, mental, and even physical health. Activities that produce a state of flow create meaning in people’s lives. Although people who report high levels of sexual satisfaction describe their sex lives as being very meaningful, there is little research on the relationship between sexual satisfaction and flow. This study sought to address this gap. One hundred participants who were in monogamous relationships completed an online survey consisting of two questionnaires—the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale and the Core Dispositional Flow State Scale. We used partial least square structural equation modeling approach to examine the association between flow and sexual satisfaction. We found that flow was a statistically significant positive predictor of both partner-focused and personal sexual satisfaction. Our results indicate that there are no statistically significant gender differences.

摘要

性满足在人际关系、心理甚至身体健康方面起着重要作用。产生流动状态的活动在人们的生活中创造意义。尽管报告高水平性满足的人将他们的性生活描述为非常有意义，但很少有关于性满足与心流之间关系的研究。本研究旨在解决这一差距。100 名处于一夫一妻制关系中的参与者完成了一项在线调查，该调查由两份问卷组成——新的性满意度量表和核心性情心流状态量表。我们使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模方法来检查流量和性满意度之间的关联。我们发现，流量是以伴侣为中心和个人性满意度的统计显着正预测因子。我们的结果表明没有统计学上显着的性别差异。
