Development and preliminary validation of the dyadic sexual self-esteem inventory
Previous research has consistently shown a close relationship of sexual health with the dynamics within a romantic relationship. However, most measurements in this field have traditionally focused solely on the individual level, thus neglecting relationship aspects. In the present study, we introduce a new theoretical framework and the Dyadic Sexual Self-Esteem Inventory (DSSEI) as a measurement tool designed to evaluate sexual self-esteem from a…
Associations of Individual and Dyadic Aspects of Sexual Self-Esteem with Sexual Function Problems in Mixed-Sex Couples
Sexual function problems are prevalent in both women and men and are linked to individual and dyadic factors. While the connection between sexual self-esteem and sexual function problems is well-established, the combined influence of individual and relational aspects of sexual self-esteem on sexual function problems in couples is not yet understood. This study investigated whether individual or dyadic factors of sexual self-esteem show stronger a…
The role of equity in partner contributions to sexual self-esteem for sexual health in romantic couples
Sexuality is central to well-being in many romantic relationships. Equity theory suggests that perceiving equal contributions within the relationship-presumably also within the sexual relationship-is associated with better outcomes, while a perceived imbalance may lead to distress or dissatisfaction. The current research examines whether equity of received and provided partner contributions to sexual self-esteem, as perceived by men and women, is…
Trait hedonic capacity correlates with sexual pleasure and motives for sexualized drug use in young adults
Although pleasure is a primary motivator for sexual activity, research into the mechanisms facilitating pleasurable sexual experiences is limited. The present research adopts a self-regulatory perspective on sexual pleasure, investigating individuals’ capacity to shield hedonic activities from distracting thoughts ( trait hedonic capacity ) as a correlate of sexual pleasure and sexualized drug use. Study 1 ( N = 247) demonstrates that young adult…
Exploring the Role of Masturbation as a Coping Strategy in Women
Objectives: Recent findings suggest that individuals tend to engage in masturbation more frequently when experiencing elevated levels of psychological stress, and there appears to be distinguishable effects on stress response based on clitoral and vaginal stimulation. In this concurrent mixed-method study, we aimed to investigate this association in more detail using a convenience sample of 370 women. Methods: Quantitative data were used to exami…
Women’s Experiences of Different Types of Orgasms—A Call for Pleasure Literacy
Background There is an ongoing controversy about women’s sexuality and the existence of different orgasms. The debate is tilted toward anatomical and physiological evidence, which often leaves subjective experiences out of the picture. The aim of the current mixed-methods study was to capture women’s accounts of their experiences of orgasmic states.Methods As part of a larger online survey, 513 women (M = 25.89 years, SD = 5.60) from a community …
