“…Likewise, Willi study results show that EI is the predictor of sexual function [13]. The current study results were also consistent with those of Silva et al showing that EI plays a role in sexual functioning [28]. In the end, there is a significant and direct relationship between EI and components of sexual function.…”

A desirable sex that can provide satisfaction for couples has a crucial role in the success and sustainability of the family. The effect of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on sexual function is of great importance. However, the relationship between EI and sexual function in females is unknown. In this regard, the current study aimed at investigating the association between EI and female sexual function. Objective:The study purpose is to determine the relationship between EI and sexual functioning in women referring to health centers in Rasht City, Iran, in 2015. Materials and Methods:The analytical and correlational study was conducted on 100 female subjects referred to health centers in Rasht selected by the cluster random sampling method. After obtaining written consent from them, the study data were collected using Persian versions of the Bar-On emotional quotient inventory and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which had acceptable validity and reliability. The obtained data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis.Results: Sexual function index score in female subjects was less than 32, and there were various aspects of sexual disorders among them. Their sexual function and its six domains were positively correlated with their EI (r=0.60, P<0.05) and 37% of variations in female sexual function was predicted by EI. The regression analysis results showed that the component of "attention", as the most important factor, could predict 30% of changes in female sexual function followed by "clarity" and "repair", which predicted 8% and 4% of female sexual function variations, respectively. Conclusion:Since there was an association between EI and female sexual function, EI should be considered as an important and effective factor to improve the sexual performance of couples. The focus on EI is strongly recommended to evaluate and provide counseling services to couples.

“…From the findings in this study, there was a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and cyber-intimate image diffusion among deaf adolescents. This corroborates Silva et al (2016) and Ugoji (2014) who had reported a positive significant relationship between emotional intelligence and reported sexual practice, functioning, and diffusion of intimate contents among adolescents. On the contrary, this finding does not correspond with some other previous studies (Ortiz, 2012;Wozniak, 2013) which reported an insignificant relationship between adolescents' sexual expression and emotional intelligence.…”

This study determined some psychosocial variables on cyber-intimate image diffusion among in-school deaf adolescents from two states in North-Central Nigeria. A descriptive research design and a multistage sampling procedure were employed in identifying 186 deaf adolescents who participated in the study. Two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The theory of planned behaviour was adopted as a framework for the study. Data generated through the questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency count and simple percentage as well as inferential statistics of bivariate correlation and t-test at .05 level of significance. Sixty-five percent of the respondents were aged 16-19. All respondents used WhatsApp and 78% had a Facebook profile. Findings revealed a positive significant relationship between emotional intelligence (r = .489; p < 0.05), self-esteem (r = .530; p < 0.05) and cyber-intimate image diffusion. Also, significant differences were found between Christian and Muslim respondents (t = 11.250; p < 0.05); low and high emotional intelligence (t = -2.412; p < 0.05); low and high self-esteem (t = -11.958; p < 0.05) with regard to cyber-intimate intimate image diffusion. The study concludes that emotional intelligence and self-esteem are determinants of cyber-intimate image diffusion among deaf adolescents. This study, therefore, recommends a synergy between parents of the deaf and professionals working with deaf adolescents to develop modalities that enhance psychological wellbeing and reduce cyber-intimate image diffusion among deaf adolescents.

Sexual performance affects the quality of life of the individuals and their sexual partners. Impaired sexual performance would lead to certain problems. Emotional intelligence is effective in the improvement of sexual satisfaction. Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of emotional intelligence on men's sexual performance. Materials and Methods: The present correlational analytical study was conducted in 2018 in the health centers of Rasht City, Iran on 100 men who were selected using a randomized cluster sampling method. The study data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, the BarOn emotional quotient inventory, and the international index of erectile function through self-report after confirmation of their validity and reliability. The obtained data were analyzed by the indicators of central tendency (mean, standard deviation) and the Pearson correlation coefficient. P value of less than 0.05 was set as the level of significance for all the statistical tests. Results: The Mean±SD age of the samples was 34.59±6.15 years and most of them had academic degrees and married for more than two years. Their Mean±SD emotional intelligence and sexual function scores were 307.37±21.14 and 23.4±16.7, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and the components of sexual function, including libido (r=0.72, P= 0.001), sexual arousal (r=0.57, P=0.001), orgasm (r=0.58, P=0.001), satisfaction with intercourse (r=0.75, P=0.001), and total satisfaction (r=0.74, P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant and direct correlation between men's emotional intelligence and sexual function. So emotional intelligence is one of the crucial factors in the couple's satisfaction with their sexual function and making efforts for its improvement could resolve the couple's dissatisfaction to some extent.
