“…Also, there is often a decrease in positive communication between parents and an increase in conflict (Shapiro et al, 2000). Moreover, a large study with first-time parents found that parenting impacted couples' dyadic sexuality, such as engaging in sex less frequently (Ahlborg, Dahlof, & Hallberg, 2005). Unfortunately, there exists no comparable research looking at how raising children affects the relationships of lesbian couples.…”

Ecological Models of Sexual Satisfaction among Lesbian/Bisexual and Heterosexual Women

2008

Sexual satisfaction is an integral component of sexual health and well-being, yet we know little about which factors contribute to it among lesbian/bisexual women. To examine a proposed ecological model of sexual satisfaction, we conducted an internet survey of married heterosexual women and lesbian/bisexual women in committed same-sex relationships. Structural equation modeling included five final latent variables for heterosexual women and seven final latent variables for lesbian/bisexual women. Overall, results indicated that, for both groups of women, a similar constellation of factors (depressive symptoms, relationship satisfaction, sexual functioning, and social support) was related to sexual satisfaction. In lesbian/bisexual women, internalized homophobia was an additional factor. Contrary to expectations, the presence of children in the home and a history of childhood sexual abuse did not contribute significantly to the model for either group. Findings support the idea that gender socialization may influence sexual satisfaction more than socialization around sexual orientation. Additionally, given that for both groups of women relationship satisfaction explained a substantial amount of variance in sexual satisfaction, sexual concerns may be better addressed at the relationship than the individual level.

“…A presença de concordância é fundamental em casais modernos, em que ambos os cônjuges trabalham fora, havendo uma maior divisão dos cuidados com os filhos e das tarefas delegadas ao homem e à mulher no espaço de convivência (Gomes & Resende, 2004). Espera-se que as mulheres mantenham os papéis de profissional e esposa, agregando a esses o papel de mãe (Ahlborg et al, 2005). Portanto, a chegada da criança pode ser percebida como uma ameaça à carreira profissional e à intimidade conjugal, além de poder desencadear sentimentos de incapacidade, baixa autoestima e desesperança.…”

“…A diminuição do tempo do casal para si próprios e a necessidade de dividir tarefas, até então desconhecidas, gera uma necessidade de apoio e de busca por uma nova estrutura para este relacionamento. Essa redução do tempo para o próprio casal pode: (a) trazer dificuldades em lidar com problemas cotidianos; (b) medo de errar; (c) um sentimento de diminuição de intimidade (Ahlborg, Dahlöf, & Hallberg, 2005).…”

ResumoEste ensaio teórico-prático aborda a transição do sistema conjugal para a coparentalidade, além das implicações clínicas para a psicoterapia segundo a Psicologia Positiva. A coparentalidade engloba funções de cada membro do casal que se estendem além do âmbito biológico. Ela constitui-se em um rearranjo psíquico complexo que ocorre internamente e no espaço psicossocial. A transição de papéis é um processo considerado como crise situacional, pelo ajustamento às novas condições, podendo trazer repercussões no relacionamento conjugal. O acompanhamento terapêutico pode ser um auxílio para uma melhor vivência nesta fase de reorganização. Neste contexto, encontra-se a Psicologia Positiva, que enfatiza os recursos e aspectos saudáveis dos que procuram atendimento. Entre os aspectos que podem surgir em terapia estão a mudança de relação com as famílias de origem, o aumento de interesses ou busca de novas possibilidades profissionais dos cônjuges e a coparentalidade em si mesma.Palavras-chave: parentalidade; papéis parentais; casamento; conjugalidade; psicologia positiva. Abstract Marital relationship and transition to co-parenting: positive psychology approachThis theoretical-practical essay approaches the marital system transition to coparenting relationship and some clinic implications for psychotherapy according to Positive Psychology

“…It is reported that painless intercourse takes place between weeks 5 and 8, at mean week 6 in general (Rowland et al, 2005) and that the challenges related to sexual functions due to traumas of delivery are solved in almost one year (Connolly et al, 2005). Sexual challenges experienced in postpartum period are reported to be associated with such factors as physiology, history of delivery, fatigue (Acar, 2008), hormones of fatigue (Meston and Fröhlich, 2000), psycho-social factors and lactation (Avery et al, 2000;LaMarre et al, 2005;Ahlborg et al, 2005;Acar, 2008). .…”
