Yet, most studies have focused exclusively on women's sexual difficulties, neglecting both partners' subjective experience of postpartum sexuality. Using a dyadic mixed-method design, the present study examined the qualitative perception of change in postpartum sexuality among both partners of mixed-sex couples and its associations with two waves of quantitative measures of sexual function, sexual satisfaction, and sexual intimacy. Both partners of 180 French-Canadian first-time parent couples completed online questionnaires during the second trimester of pregnancy and at four months postpartum. One open-ended question assessed the perceived changes in postpartum sexuality at four months. A thematic analysis revealed five main themes pertaining to postpartum sexual changes: (1) reorganizing sexuality around the baby; (2) modified sexual intimacy; (3) coping with pain or discomfort; (4) dealing with lower desire or desire discrepancy within the couple; and (5) living with changes in the woman's body. Quantitative analyses revealed that sexual function and sexual intimacy, but not sexual satisfaction, decreased between pregnancy and four months postpartum. Mixed findings indicate that postpartum sexuality extends beyond declines in sexual well-being, reflecting a complex experience shaped by relational processes such as intimacy, empathy, and adaptability.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"147-171"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145998419","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}

However, many countries continue to face challenges in both the formulation and implementation of policies regarding the identification and regulation of such content. This commentary examines the relevant policy provisions and practical enforcement mechanisms concerning the identification of obscene and pornographic content in China. It highlights several key challenges in the current approach, including the lack of evaluation from the perspective of the content's intended audience, the absence of a classification system, and the limited involvement of professionals and social resources with relevant expertise in the identification process. Based on these insights, the commentary suggests corresponding policy recommendations. The aim is to contribute to the improvement of identification mechanisms for obscene and pornographic content in China and in other countries facing similar challenges, thereby promoting the development of policies that can effectively balance the protection of individual sexual health with the maintenance of social and public order.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"383-387"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146194827","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}

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between partner phubbing, family peace, and sexual stress among women. The study employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews from 343 women. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.00. The participants' mean score on the Partner Phubbing Scale was 17.59 ± 5.77. The mean score on the Family Peace Scale was 56.90 ± 11.35, while the mean score on the Female Sexual Distress Scale was 12.31 ± 11.25. As levels of partner phubbing increased among women, overall satisfaction and family peace decreased, whereas deep distress and sexual distress increased. Partner phubbing and family peace were found to explain 31.3% of the variance in women's sexual distress. The results suggest that women's sexual distress levels are significantly associated with partner phubbing and family peace. In addition, partner phubbing appears to extend beyond the sexual domain, being linked to diminished family peace. This study, conducted within a sociocultural context where sexuality is taboo, is believed to make significant contributions to the literature.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"287-303"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147458302","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}

Multidimensional perfectionism, including self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially-prescribed perfectionism has been linked with couple difficulties, including lower relationship and sexual satisfaction. However, most studies are cross-sectional and have overlooked the mechanisms underlying these associations. While emotional intimacy positively predicts relationship and sexual satisfaction, the interpersonal dimensions of perfectionism have been associated with greater fear of intimacy and difficulties with self-disclosure. Using a longitudinal dyadic design, this study examined the directionality of links between multidimensional perfectionism, emotional intimacy, and relationship and sexual satisfaction. A total of 308 cohabiting couples completed online questionnaires twice over one year. Results showed that a person's other-oriented perfectionism at T1 was negatively associated with their own relationship satisfaction at T2, and with their partner's relationship and sexual satisfaction at T2, via the partner's lower emotional intimacy at T2. A person's self-oriented perfectionism at T1 was positively associated with their own emotional intimacy at T2, via their higher sexual satisfaction at T2. Overall, emotional intimacy may represent a relevant interpersonal mechanism in understanding how other-oriented perfectionism relates to relationship and sexual satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"667-684"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148397012","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 analyzed the most arousing sexual fantasies reported by a quota sample of the German-speaking general population (N = 401, n = 327 valid fantasies, 18-70 years) using content-structuring qualitative content analysis to categorize and quantify descriptive-manifest acts and psychodynamic-latent motives. Fantasies showed a wide range of practices at the descriptive-manifest level, with over half involving impersonal counterparts (53.5%). Fourteen psychodynamic-latent motives emerged (e.g., power dynamics, playing with limits, care, objectification, self-actualization). Self-esteem-enhancing motives were most frequent (59.6%) and defensive processes (e.g., relativization, avoidance, undoing, distant from the self, distant from sexuality) appeared in every fourth fantasy (26.9%). Exploratory gender analyses largely reproduce conservative gender norms with women fantasizing more about passivity, affective connection, and playing with limits and men fantasizing more about objectification and omnipotence. Overall, the findings provide initial support that sexual fantasies may symbolically express individual motivational dynamics, including strivings that would be defended against outside the fantasy realm. At the same time, the gender differences point to culturally shaped patterns, underscoring the importance of considering both individual and socio-cultural perspectives when interpreting such narratives.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"818-839"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148211584","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.

A total of n = 585 women aged 18-40 provided complete data on an online survey in which they were asked whether they notice changes across the menstrual cycle in sexual desire, desire to masturbate, lubrication, and frequency of having sex, and if they do, during which phase of the cycle they experience an increase. Results suggest that an increase in sexual desire, and especially lubrication, were somewhat more common during the ovulatory phase. However, as hypothesized, across all four variables, there was a high degree of variability in the specific cycle phase in which participants reported experiencing increases. In some cases, age, having a partner, and hormonal contraception moderated menstrual cycle phase increases in these variables. These results confirm that women differ significantly in whether and when, during the menstrual cycle, they experience increases in sexual desire, lubrication, and sexual activity.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"937-954"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145489043","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}
