Abstract

Aim

To assess the prevalence of sexual difficulties and related distress, the association between sexual difficulties and sexual avoidance, and to establish whether sexual difficulties and sexual avoidance are moderated by relationship satisfaction.

Methods

This study included a sample of 4160 adults aged 18–89 years enrolled from a randomly selected web panel of 11,685 Norwegians.

Results

Sexual difficulties were particularly common among adults aged <30 years. In men and women, lack of interest in sex and general sexual distress were associated with more sexual avoidance. The association between lack of sexual interest and sexual avoidance was, however, buffered by relationship satisfaction. Climaxing too early was related to less sexual avoidance in both genders. Yet for men, this association was only significant among those with lower relationship satisfaction.

Conclusion

The findings underline the important links among specific sexual difficulties, sexual distress, and the frequency of avoiding sexual activity.

挪威性困难和相关痛苦的患病率及其与性回避的关系

 抽象的

 目的

评估性困难和相关痛苦的患病率、性困难和性回避之间的关联，并确定性困难和性回避是否受到关系满意度的调节。

 方法

这项研究包括 4160 名 18-89 岁成年人的样本，这些样本是从随机选择的 11,685 名挪威人组成的网络小组中招募的。

 结果

性困难在 <30 岁的成年人中尤其常见。在男性和女性中，对性缺乏兴趣和普遍的性困扰与更多的性回避有关。然而，缺乏性兴趣和性回避之间的联系受到关系满意度的缓冲。过早达到高潮与两性较少的性回避有关。然而对于男性来说，这种关联仅在那些关系满意度较低的人中才显着。

 结论

研究结果强调了特定的性困难、性困扰和避免性活动的频率之间的重要联系。
