ABSTRACT

Reasons for sex are associated with sexual and relational outcomes. This study investigated reasons for sex at last sex, with a focus on obligation (an avoidance motivation) and doing something nice for a partner (an approach motivation), and their associations with sexual and relationship satisfaction, while controlling for marital duration, age, and sexual desire. We investigated these reasons among married, midlife Canadian women (n = 324), men (n = 275), and 25 non-binary/gender queer participants 40 to 59 years of age. Participants were recruited from a Qualtrics analytics panel and completed an online questionnaire. Obligation was reported as a reason for having sex by 12.4% of women and 1.8% of men; “doing something nice” was reported by 10.2% of women and 9.5% of men. In regression analyses, women who reported having sex for obligation had significantly lower relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction than women who did not report this reason. In contrast, having sex to do something nice for one’s partner was associated with higher sexual satisfaction among women. Findings indicate that having sex when feeling obligated may be associated with negative sexual and relational outcomes among midlife women.

床单之间的动机:了解中年性行为的义务以及与性和关系满意度的关联

摘要

性行为的原因与性和关系结果有关。这项研究调查了最后一次性行为的原因,重点是义务(回避动机)和为伴侣做点好事(接近动机),以及它们与性和关系满意度的关联,同时控制婚姻持续时间、年龄、和性欲。我们在已婚的中年加拿大女性 ( n = 324)、男性 ( n= 275),以及 25 名年龄在 40 至 59 岁之间的非二元/性别酷儿参与者。参与者是从 Qualtrics 分析小组中招募的,并完成了一份在线问卷。据报道,12.4% 的女性和 1.8% 的男性认为义务是发生性行为的一个原因;10.2% 的女性和 9.5% 的男性表示“做点好事”。在回归分析中,报告因义务而发生性行为的女性的关系满意度和性满意度明显低于未报告此原因的女性。相比之下,通过性行为为自己的伴侣做些好事与女性的性满意度更高有关。研究结果表明,在感到有义务时发生性行为可能与中年女性的负面性和关系结果有关。
