ABSTRACT

Achieving healthy and satisfying sexual relationships is a major developmental task in adolescence, but factors promoting sexual satisfaction among adolescent romantic relationships remain underexplored. Since sexuality is shaped by relational experiences, strategies mobilized to negotiate conflicts in romantic relationships could be related to sexual satisfaction through comfort in negotiating sexual experiences. Sexual comfort refers to the ease of discussing sexuality, and feeling comfortable with one’s own sexual life and with others’ sexual behaviors. This cross-sectional dyadic study examined the mediating role of sexual comfort in the associations between perceived conflict negotiation strategies and sexual satisfaction among adolescent romantic dyads. The actor-partner interdependence model guided the analyses of self-reported questionnaires from 104 mixed- and same-sex dyads (M_age = 18.99 years, SD = 1.51). An adolescent’s higher compromise and lower submission were related to their own higher sexual satisfaction via their own higher sexual comfort. The results also revealed a direct association between an adolescent’s higher domination and their own lower sexual satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of considering conflict negotiation strategies and sexual comfort as key factors related to adolescents’ sexual satisfaction.

摘要

实现健康和令人满意的性关系是青春期的一项主要发展任务，但在青少年浪漫关系中促进性满足的因素仍未得到充分探索。由于性行为是由关系经历塑造的，因此调解浪漫关系中冲突的策略可能与通过协商性经历时的舒适感有关的性满足。性舒适是指讨论性问题的容易程度，以及对自己的性生活和他人的性行为感到舒服的程度。这项横断面二元研究检验了性舒适在感知到的冲突谈判策略与青春期浪漫二元性满意度之间的关联中的中介作用。_年龄 = 18.99 岁，SD = 1.51）。青少年更高的妥协和更低的顺从与他们通过自己更高的性舒适度获得更高的性满足感有关。结果还揭示了青少年较高的支配能力与他们自己较低的性满意度之间存在直接关联。这些发现强调了将冲突谈判策略和性舒适视为与青少年性满意度相关的关键因素的重要性。
