Emotion dysregulation and intimacy problems are theoretically underpinned correlates of hypersexuality (i.e., uncontrollable sexual urges, fantasies, and behaviors resulting in distress and impairment in different areas of functioning), but the directionality of these associations has not been established, as work in this area has relied on cross-sectional designs. Moreover, although hypersexuality may have significant adverse effects on romantic relationships and approximately half of treatment-seeking individuals are in a relationship, prior studies almost exclusively involved samples of men, regardless of their relationship status. The aim of the present study was to examine the directionality of associations between both partners’ emotion dysregulation, physical (i.e., partnered sexual frequency) and relationship intimacy, and hypersexuality using a longitudinal, dyadic framework. Self-reported data of 267 mixed-sex couples (Mage_men = 29.9 years, SD = 8.2; Mage_women = 27.7 years, SD = 6.7) at baseline (T1) and six-month follow-up (T2) were analyzed using a crossed-lagged model within an actor–partner interdependence framework. Prior greater emotion dysregulation (T1) in both men and women was associated with their own later greater hypersexuality (T2). Women’s prior greater hypersexuality (T1) was associated with their later lower relationship intimacy (T2). Lower levels of intimacy were not significantly associated with later hypersexuality. No partner effects were found in relation to hypersexuality. Findings suggest that men and women may use sexual behaviors to cope with negative emotions, which could, in turn, lead to hypersexuality. Intimacy problems did not precede hypersexuality, although women’s hypersexuality may reduce their own relationship intimacy over time.

混合性伴侣的性欲亢进:一项二元纵向研究

情绪失调和亲密问题理论上是性欲亢进(即无法控制的性冲动、幻想和导致不同功能领域的痛苦和损害的行为)的基础,但这些关联的方向性尚未确定,因为在该领域的工作依赖于横截面设计。此外,尽管性欲亢进可能对恋爱关系产生显着的不利影响,并且大约一半的寻求治疗的人处于恋爱关系中,但先前的研究几乎只涉及男性样本,无论他们的关系状况如何。本研究的目的是检查双方情绪失调、身体(即伴侣性频率)和关系亲密之间关联的方向性,和性欲亢进使用纵向的二元框架。267对混合性夫妇的自我报告数据(M age_men  = 29.9 岁,SD  = 8.2;M age_women  = 27.7 岁,SD = 6.7) 在基线 (T1) 和六个月随访 (T2) 中使用交叉滞后模型在参与者-合作伙伴相互依赖框架内进行分析。男性和女性之前更严重的情绪失调 (T1) 与他们后来更严重的性欲亢进 (T2) 相关。女性之前的性欲亢进 (T1) 与她们后来的亲密关系 (T2) 降低有关。较低的亲密程度与后来的性欲亢进没有显着关联。没有发现与性欲亢进相关的伴侣效应。研究结果表明,男性和女性可能会使用性行为来应对负面情绪,这反过来又可能导致性欲亢进。亲密问题并没有先于性欲亢进,尽管女性的性欲亢进可能会随着时间的推移降低她们自己的亲密关系。
