Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how psychological traits, including sexual excitation and inhibition as well as personality traits from the Big Five, influence sexual function in couples, highlighting that both individual and partner characteristics play a role.
  • Results showed that higher sexual excitation and conscientiousness are linked to better sexual function for both women and men, and that women with partners who are sexually inhibited or less conscientious tend to have lower sexual function.
  • The findings suggest that considering partner-related psychological traits could improve understanding and treatment of sexual dysfunctions, particularly in women.]

@SittingSilent89 @ed_ju1es Ich kann leider nicht auf den gesamten Original Artikel zugreifen, aber „we decided to name this personality trait, with its “positive” label, emotional stability. Some of the studies …, used the negative end point of the scale, namely, neuroticism“ https://t.co/AomA7ejsno

Sexual inhibition was a negative predictor of sexual function in both genders. Women with sexually inhibited partners reported lower sexual function. Conscientious ppl (and women whose partners were more conscientious) reported better sexual function. https://t.co/pH9KKR5ARP
