This article examines individual variability in sexual desire and sexual satisfaction by exploring the relation between these sexual aspects and sexual attitudes (implicit and explicit) and by taking gender into account, as this has been shown to be an influential factor. A total of 28 men and 33 women living in heterosexual relationships completed questionnaires assessing sexual desire (dyadic, solitary), sexual satisfaction, and explicit sexual attitudes. An adapted version of the Affect Misattribution Procedure was used to assess implicit sexual attitudes. Results showed higher levels of dyadic and solitary sexual desire in men than in women. No gender differences were found regarding sexual satisfaction or sexual attitudes. High dyadic sexual desire was associated with positive implicit and explicit sexual attitudes, regardless of gender. However, solitary sexual desire was significantly higher in men than women and was associated, in women only, with positive implicit sexual attitudes, suggesting that solitary sexual desire may fulfill different functions in men and women. Finally, sexual satisfaction depended on the combination of explicit and implicit sexual attitudes in both men and women. This study highlights the importance of considering both implicit and explicit sexual attitudes to better understand the mechanisms underlying individual variability in sexual desire and satisfaction.

“…This depends on physical health, psychological state, level of independence, social relationships, and relationship with salient environmental features (WHOQOL Group, 1994). Indeed, sexual satisfaction refers to the subjective perception in relation to multiple aspects of sex life: realization of erotic desires, satisfaction of passion, feeling loved, frequency of sexual activity, meeting of expectations, and satisfaction in general with relationship (Ortiz and Ortiz, 2003;Castellanos-Torres et al, 2013). Both these domains are considered two core aspects of human health (WHO, 2006;Schwartz and Young, 2009;WHO, 2010;Tripoli et al, 2011;Castellanos-Torres et al, 2013;Peloquin et al, 2013).…”

Moreover, some studies stress how endometriosis also affects negatively the perception of health, the ability to work and daily life, and can be associated with mood and anxiety disorders (Denny andMann, 2007a, 2007b;Sepulcri and doAmaral, 2009;Fourquet et al, 2010Fourquet et al, , 2011Nnoaham et al, 2011;Tripoli et al, 2011;Montanari et al, 2013;Cavaggioni et al, 2014;Fritzer et al, 2014).…”

“…Regardless of the questionnaire used for assessing sexual satisfaction, various papers based on large national surveys consistently reported a satisfaction rate over 90%, much higher than 33% observed in our study sample [12-14]. Besides the different ages of the study subjects (the minimum age of subjects included in these studies ranged from 16 to 40), patients in our study sample were selected during a visit to their GP, thus increasing the likelihood of dealing with chronic diseases.…”

Purpose: To assess the performance of the Brief Sexual Symptom Checklist for men (BSSC-M) questionnaire in General Practitioner’s (GP) consults in Spain. Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted in Spain among men ≥50 years, visiting a GP for any reason, and being able to answer self-administered questionnaires. Patients receiving medicines for erectile dysfunction (ED) and those with poor functional status were excluded. Sexual satisfaction was assessed by the BSSC-M, ED by the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM), and quality of life (QoL) using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: In all, 770 men met all the selection criteria and 556 patients (72.2%) reported sexually related problems, ED being the most frequent (n = 427; 55.5%). The SHIM score decreased progressively with the number of causes of sexual dissatisfaction. Prevalence of ED (SHIM ≤21) was greater in patients who referred problems with erection in the BSSC-M questionnaire (76 vs. 14%; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis for ED prediction revealed that sexual dissatisfaction, QoL (average or low/very low), and the presence of 3 or more comorbidities significantly influenced the chances of having ED. Conclusions: Our results encourage the use of the BSSC-M for identifying suspicion of ED and other sexual problems in patients > 50 who visit their GP for a routine follow-up.
