{"title":"Changes in sexuality and couple relationship during the COVID-19 lockdown in Portugal: findings from an online survey","authors":"Ana Sofia Vieira, Henrique Castro Santos, Joana Pereira, Luís Madeira","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2023.2258102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2023.2258102","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractIn this work we aim to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic measures influenced frequency of intercourse, auto-erotic behaviors, sexual desire and satisfaction and quality of couple relationships of the Portuguese Population. We also aimed to address if these changes were different across gender, relationship and work status (home-based; in-office work). This was an observational cross-sectional study, performed through an online survey. We included 316 participants. About half of the participants who were in a relationship revealed no relationship impact. The mean impact was more positive in home-based participants (1,96 vs 1,81). Half of the participants had a decrease in frequency of sexual intercourse, with in-office workers reporting a greater reduction. Mean increases in masturbation were higher in men (p < 0,001) and home-based participants (p = 0,012). Pornography consumption was higher in single (p = 0,044) and home-based participants (p = 0,04). Sexual desire was higher in single (p = 0,047) and home-based participants (p = 0,014). Sexual satisfaction was lower in single (p < 0,001) and in-office workers (p = 0,282). Home-based participants had a more positive mean impact in most variables, which was significant for participants who were in a relationship and home-based.Lay SummaryThe COVID-19 lockdown measures gave us an unprecedented look at the relationship between social isolation, romantic relationships, and human sexuality. Our work provides a portrait of the Portuguese population, pointing to the possibility that couples who spent more time at home during this period had less negative sexual and relational outcomes.Keywords: Sexual behaviorcouple relationshipsCOVID-19lockdownPortugal AcknowledgmentsThere are no acknowledgments to report.Authors’ contributionsAll authors contributed equally to the development of the manuscript.Disclosure statementThere is no conflict of interest to report.Ethical considerationsThe protocol for this study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee of Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrico de Lisboa.

{"title":"Associations between daily positive communication and sexual desire and satisfaction: an approach utilizing traditional analyses and machine learning","authors":"Christine E. Leistner, Laura M. Vowels, Matthew J. Vowels, Kristen P. Mark","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2023.2258097","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2023.2258097","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractCommunication is an important component of many healthy sexual and romantic relationships. Positive communication strategies including expressing fondness and affection, exchanging compliments, and disclosing information about oneself with a partner are associated with relationship and sexual satisfaction, but less is known about its association to sexual desire. Most of the current literature has used traditional statistical analyses that assume errors are normally distributed and that associations between variables are linear. Our study aimed to examine the ways daily levels of four positive communication strategies are associated with relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and sexual desire among 246 mixed sex couples (N = 492). We performed both traditional hierarchical linear modeling and machine learning to provide a complimentary view of results from the different data analytic techniques. Findings indicated that daily positive communication received from a partner was associated with all outcome variables of interest that day as well as for subsequent days for both partners in the couple. All positive communication strategies predicted daily levels of desire, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction for the individual and each had unique associations with partner outcomes. Unique nonlinear interactions were found using machine learning. Findings have implications for researchers and practitioners.Lay SummaryWe found that when a person reports receiving positive communication from their romantic partner (fondness, affection, compliments and intimate disclosure) on a given day, both partners have higher levels of desire and satisfaction on that day. Positive communication can be practiced by couples to enhance their sexual and relational lives.Keywords: Desiresatisfactionsexualmachine learningpositive communication Data sharing statementDue to the nature of this research, participants of this study did not agree for their data to be shared publicly, so supporting data is not available.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis study was funded by the Patty Brisben Foundation for Women’s Sexual Health.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135784497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean age of the sample was 29.56 ± 7.99 years. Majority were uneducated (n = 335, 50.9%) and were unemployed (n = 566, 86.0%) respectively. ENRICH was translated from English to Pashto, using the forward-backward method by three bilingual experts and the translated scale given to the participants to find out the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha reliability, and construct validity of ENRICH (Pashto version). The scale appeared as a three-factor model on factorial validity and the items of the scale were inter-correlated (p <.01). Regarding construct validity, the factor loading through Item Total Correlation scores revealed highly satisfactory correlation coefficients (p <.001). The Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the Pashto version of ENRICH was 0.847. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated a good fit model with 0.926 and the RMSEA value of .067. On ENRICH, the majority were maritally satisfied (n = 408, 62.01%). It is concluded that the Pashto version of ENRICH is a reliable instrument and has promising psychometric properties to measure marital satisfaction in different clinical settings.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135890694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
