Sexual-versão curta; Validação Resumo Introdução: A satisfação sexual constitui atualmente um constructo essencial no campo do estudo da sexualidade humana. Objetivo: A presente investigação teve como objetivo proceder à validação da versão portuguesa da Nova Escala de Satisfação Sexual-versão curta (NSSS-S), instrumento em formato curto que avalia a satisfação sexual em homens e mulheres. Material e métodos: Recorreu-se a um total de 298 participantes de ambos os sexos, os quais preencheram o questionário com a tradução para português da NSSS-S. Resultados: Foram demonstradas as principais propriedades psicométricas da validação da NSSS-S, das quais se destacaram a estrutura fatorial bidimensional e o alfa de Cronbach (≥ 0,89). Discussão: A NSSS-S revelou ter a estrutura bidimensional da NSSS original e obtiveram-se valores bons a nível de consistência interna, de validade convergente, de validade divergente e de validade concorrente. Conclusões: As boas propriedades psicométricas encontradas justificam e reforçam a recomendação de utilização da NSSS-S na população portuguesa.

Background Empirical data on sexual boredom are scarce and unsystematized, contrasting with the literature on general boredom. Aim The aim of this review of literature is to verify how sexual boredom is defined in previous research and which relationships were found with sexual functioning, relationship dynamics, or gender. Methods A systematic search was conducted in EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases for papers published until August 2020. Search terms used were “sexual boredom” or “sexual tedium” or “sexual indifference” or “sexual monotony” or a combination of “boredom” and “sexual activity” or “intercourse”. This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines. Outcomes Articles were grouped in general boredom and sexuality research and in sexual boredom research. RESULTS This review consists of 43 articles, of which 31 are quantitative studies, 8 are qualitative studies, and 4 are mixed-method studies. Studies concerning general boredom and sexuality include research on diverse aspects of sexual behavior, namely solitary sexual behavior, extra-dyadic sex, compulsive sexual behavior, and risky sexual behavior. Sexual boredom research included papers regarding personality, sexual response, and varied aspects of sexual behavior. Clinical Implications Findings suggest sexual boredom is related with sexual response, sexual satisfaction, and hypersexuality, which renders clinical relevance. Sexual boredom impacts well-being, and further research should focus on exploring potential mechanisms underpinning this sexual problem. Strengths and limitations To the authors’ knowledge, this is the only existing systematic review of sexual boredom and allowed identifying key features of sexual boredom and related aspects. However, because most studies are correlational, and several do not use comprehensive measures of sexual boredom, no causal relationships were identified. CONCLUSION This review indicates the construct of sexual boredom includes individual, relationship, and societal aspects. However, no definition of sexual boredom includes these, and current knowledge does not allow formulating a model or a theory of sexual boredom.
Understanding individual variability in sexual boredom may offer relevant insights for the study of sexuality. The aim of this study was to determine whether there were distinct groups of men and women experiencing sexual boredom and how those groups differed in other aspects of sexuality. Sample consisted of 1021 participants aged 18 to 75 years old (M = 32.68, SD = 8.79). A gender-stratified cluster analysis was used for classifying the subgroups based on the extent of our variables of interest, and Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) and chi-square of association tests were carried out to examine potential differences on demographics per group. Cluster analysis revealed a threecluster solution for both men and women. Men grouped into low sexual boredom, high sexual boredom with high sexual motivation, and high sexual boredom with low sexual motivation. Women grouped into low sexual boredom, moderate sexual boredom, and high sexual boredom. Cluster analyses revealed, the groups of men and women with low sexual boredom presented low boredom proneness, low sexual motivation (sexual desire and excitation), and high hedonic value (sexual pleasure and sexual satisfaction).The group of men with high sexual boredom with high sexual motivation and the group of women with moderate sexual boredom displayed high sexual sensation seeking, high sexual motivation, and high hedonic value. The group of men and the group of women dealing with high sexual boredom, presented high boredom proneness, low sexual motivation, and low hedonic value. These findings have implications for couples dealing with sexual problems and, potentially, for sexual risk taking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
