Abstract

Sexual compliance (i.e., consenting to sex without initial sexual desire) can have both positive and negative consequences for well-being. This study explored predictors of perceived consequences of sexual compliance in cisgendered men and women from a population-based, Finnish sample (men n = 449, women n = 499, age M = 34.1, relationship duration M = 8.9). We drew upon existing literature and theoretical frameworks to select the following predictors; sexual approach and avoidance motives, sexual self-efficacy, avoidant and anxious attachment, sexual self-esteem, sexual assertiveness, symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, sexual distress, dyadic sexual communication, dyadic trust, and partner's sexual coercion. The predictors explained 31-38% of the variance in perceived positive consequences and 33-43% of the variance in perceived negative consequences of sexual compliance. Approach motives for sex had the strongest association with perceived positive consequences and having been sexually coerced by one's partner and sexual distress had the strongest associations with perceived negative consequences of sexual compliance. There were some variations in the predictors between genders, but the differing predictors had weak effects on the perceived consequences. Our findings can help clinicians identify focus areas when working with clients who experience a desire discrepancy in their intimate relationships.

性依从性的积极和消极后果的预测因素。
性顺从(即在没有最初性欲的情况下同意发生性行为)对幸福既有积极的影响,也有消极的影响。本研究从芬兰人口为基础的样本(男性n = 449,女性n = 499,年龄M = 34.1,关系持续时间M = 8.9)中探索顺性别男性和女性性依从性感知后果的预测因素。我们利用现有的文献和理论框架来选择以下预测因子;性接近和回避动机、性自我效能、回避型和焦虑型依恋、性自尊、性自信、抑郁和/或焦虑症状、性痛苦、二元性交流、二元信任和伴侣的性胁迫。预测因子解释了31-38%的感知到的积极结果的方差和33-43%的感知到的消极结果的方差。性行为的接近动机与感知到的积极后果有最强烈的联系被伴侣性胁迫和性痛苦与感知到的性顺从的消极后果有最强烈的联系。性别之间的预测因素存在一些差异,但不同的预测因素对感知后果的影响很小。我们的研究结果可以帮助临床医生在与那些在亲密关系中经历欲望差异的客户合作时确定重点领域。
