Although sexual issues are frequently seen in postmenopausal women, unfortunately, many of their needs are overlooked during this period. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the sexual needs of postmenopausal women. Electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Magiran, Scientific Information Database (SID), and Google Scholar were systematically searched. Nineteen articles were included. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). The results of qualitative studies are classified into six groups of sexual needs: informing and educating menopausal women, awareness and support of husbands, the role of physicians and healthcare providers, the existence of sexual health clinics, social and financial support, and strengthening skills. The findings of this review suggest that addressing the sexual needs of postmenopausal women requires practical action at individual, professional, and policy levels. In this regard, educating women and their partners, improving counseling during health care, establishing specialized clinics, and providing insurance support can help reduce the gaps.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research consisted of two studies conducted among Hungarian adults to examine associations between sexual motivation, emotion dysregulation, and dyadic coping across age and sex. Study 1 included 572 cisgender participants (381 women, 191 men; M age = 29.7, SD = 10.9) and investigated how self-centered, relationship-oriented, and coping-related sexual motivations correlated with emotion regulation difficulties. Study 2 involved 466 participants (312 women, 154 men; M age = 30.9, SD = 11.2) and explored the relationship between sexual motivation and dyadic coping. In Study 1, self-centered sexual motivation was positively associated with emotion dysregulation in men but not in women. Relationship-oriented sexual motivation was negatively associated with age and certain emotion regulation challenges, while coping-related motivation showed distinct associations by sex. In Study 2, self-centered sexual motivation correlated negatively with dyadic coping, particularly among men. Relationship-oriented sexual motivation was positively associated with supportive dyadic coping, especially in men. Coping-related sexual motivation showed no significant associations with dyadic coping across age or sex. Overall, these studies highlighted the interplay between sexual motivation, emotional regulation, and relational dynamics, emphasizing the importance of considering both age and sex differences.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, few patients disclose these problems to healthcare providers (HCPs) due to shame and fear. While HCPs recognize the importance of addressing sexual and reproductive health related issues, time constraints, lack of knowledge, and fear of embarrassing patients often hinder thorough investigation. SEXIT (SEXual health Identification Tool) was developed to facilitate and initiate conversations about sexual health, experiences of violence, and risk-taking behaviors between youths aged 13-24 and HCPs. However, no comparable methods exist for adults. This study aimed to explore which questions professionals believe HCPs should ask adult patients. Using a Delphi methodology, 19 academic and/or clinical experts participated in two online questionnaire rounds and a web meeting. The panel identified 25 highly relevant questions covering diverse areas (e.g., sexual and gender identity, sexual satisfaction, experiences of violence, and substance use). These questions may empower adult patients to disclose sexual health concerns, enabling HCPs to comprehensively address these issues during medical history assessments. The identified questions have been incorporated into the development of the SEXIT Adult questionnaire.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145186023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sexual rejection is a common and emotionally laden event that may be especially salient among couples coping with HSDD given likely desire discrepancies between partners. How men with HSDD reject their partner's sexual advances (i.e., deflecting, hostile, reassuring, or assertive rejection behaviors) may reflect their attempts to regulate emotions and have implications for well-being. In this study, men with HSDD (N = 51) reported on their sexual rejection behaviors and both they and their partners reported on sexual and relationship outcomes; results were not adjusted for multiple testing to prioritize discovery. Deflecting sexual rejection was associated with both partners' lower sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, and perceived partner responsiveness, and men with HSDD's greater sexual distress. Hostile rejection was associated with partners' lower sexual satisfaction and both couple members' lower relationship satisfaction. Reassuring and assertive behaviors were associated with men with HSDD's higher sexual satisfaction and perceived partner responsiveness. Reducing less adaptive rejection strategies, like deflection and hostility, and increasing more adaptive strategies, like reassuring or assertive rejection, may be intervention targets to help couples coping with HSDD.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to explore the mechanisms linking young women's attitudes toward pornography and sexual well-being. Involving 306 women from the UK (mean age = 20.12 years), the study examined how attitudes toward pornography are associated with sexual satisfaction and comfort with sex, with potential mediating factors including emotion after porn use, frequency of use, and sexual communication. Results indicate that positive attitudes toward porn are associated with higher sexual satisfaction and comfort with sex, whereas no association was found between negative attitudes toward porn and these variables. Sexual communication mediated the relationship between positive attitudes and sexual well-being, but neither emotion after porn use nor frequency of use served as mediators. Findings suggest that women with positive attitudes may experience less internal conflict related to pornography use. Negative attitudes, while correlated with emotional discomfort, were not associated with broader sexual well-being, possibly reflecting adaptive strategies for managing personal ambivalence. These results emphasize the need for sex education that critically examines and constructively addresses the psychosexual impact of pornography use on young women's sexual development.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those with more dT traits in their relationships have been described as conflicted and manipulative. The present study sought to address the research question of whether the dT construct significantly predicts relationship expectations and attitudes in intimate relationships. Moreover, the study examined the role of the dT in sexual aggression within intimate relationships. A non-clinical sample completed the Short Dark Triad (SD3), the Relationship and Attachment Personality Inventory (BB-PI), and the Sexual Aggression & Victimization Scale (SAV-S) via an online survey (N = 624; Nfemale = 481, Nmale = 143). Intercorrelations, t-tests for independent samples, and hierarchical regressions were analyzed. Results indicated that the dT traits were predictive of relationship expectations and behavior, particularly in relation to dominance and aggression, as well as sexually deviant and risky relationship expectations. The moderating effect of sex on the findings was not statistically significant. The dT demonstrated a significant correlation with sexual aggression perpetration. Significant correlations were identified between the dT and the perpetration of sexual violence in intimate relationships. Further study of the dT may contribute to risk assessment of sexual aggression in intimate relationships.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145064912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were divided into two groups: the case group, which consisted of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and receiving treatment at the physical therapy outpatient clinic, and the control group, which included women attending the urology outpatient clinic for reasons unrelated to fibromyalgia or any other comorbid conditions.Findings: A total of 140 female patients participated in the study, with 75 diagnosed with fibromyalgia and 65 without fibromyalgia. When comparing the GRISS total and subscale scores between the two groups, the fibromyalgia group had significantly higher scores across all subscales, including anorgasmia, vaginismus, non-communication, infrequency, avoidance, non-sensuality and dissatisfaction (p < 0.001 for all).Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is significantly more prevalent in patients with fibromyalgia compared to those in the control group.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"383-391"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A single-factor model was found to be the best fit, with four items dropped during refinement. The SBI demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .88) and evidence of discriminant validity, with significant negative correlations to sexual pleasure and well-being. Additionally, the SBI was positively correlated with attention difficulties and impulsivity, highlighting a link between sexual boredom and ADHD. Findings suggest that sexual boredom, as a transient experience, is associated with negative sexual outcomes. Further research should confirm these relationships and potential interventions.
