“…En cuanto a las variables personales, los factores relativos a la salud mental se encontraron en un tercio de los artículos revisados (Burri et al, 2012;Cohen y Byers, 2014;De Ryck et al, 2012;Henderson et al, 2009;Holmberg et al, 2010;Remien et al, 2003;Sánchez-Fuentes y Sierra, 2015;Totenhagen et al, 2012;Tracy y Jungingen, 2007). En este sentido, tal como señalan Schönfeld, Brailovskaia, Bieda, Chi Zhang y Margraf (2016), la salud mental se divide en dos dimensiones: positiva (como bienestar general) y negativa (como problemas de salud mental o psicopatologías).…”

“…En cuanto a aspectos relacionados con la salud mental, niveles bajos de ansiedad sexual (Cohen y Byers, 2014;De Ryck et al, 2012), escasa sintomatología psicopatológica (De Ryck et al, 2012;Henderson et al, 2009;Sánchez-Fuentes y Sierra, 2015;Tracy y Junginger, 2007) y buena salud mental (Holmberg, Blair y Phillips, 2010;Remien, Wagner, Dolezal y CarballoDiéguez, 2003;Totenhagen, Butler y Ridley, 2012) se asociaron con elevada satisfacción sexual. En el área de la salud física, no presentar dolor corporal (Sánchez-Fuentes y Sierra, 2015) y disfrutar de buena salud física en general (Holmberg et al, 2010) se vincula a mayor satisfacción sexual, tanto en hombres como en mujeres homosexuales.…”

“…Los pensamientos negativos y no eróticos que experimenta automáticamente la persona durante la actividad sexual se asocian con una baja satisfacción sexual. Presentar compulsión sexual (Starks, Grov y Parsons, 2013), haber sido víctima de abuso sexual infantil (Crump y Byers, 2017;Weingourt, 1998), el abuso de alcohol (Dolezal, Remien, Wagner, Carballo-Diéguez y Hung, 2015), mayor edad (Biss y Horne, 2005;De Ryck et al, 2012), tener relaciones sexuales sin el consentimiento propio (De Ryck et al, 2012), la preocupación por adquirir una infección de transmisión sexual (De Ryck et al, 2012), tomar fármacos que reducen la libido (De Ryck et al, 2012;Motofei, Rowland, Popa, Kreienkamp y Paunica, 2011) y mayor percepción de malestar (Burri et al, 2012), presentar un estilo de apego de tipo ansioso o evitativo (Mark, Patrick y Murray, 2017) son variables asociadas con niveles bajos de satisfacción sexual. Por otra parte, mantener ilusiones sexuales positivas, es decir, tener la percepción de que con la pareja se tienen similitudes y complementariedad (De Jong y Reis, 2015), tener una buena autopercepción del atractivo sexual (Amos y McCabe, 2015) y motivos para tener relaciones sexuales con el fin de mejorar la intimidad con la pareja (Sánchez, Moss-Racusin, Phelan y Crocker, 2011) son variables personales relacionadas con mayor satisfacción sexual.…”

“…Además, una alta satisfacción con la relación de pareja (Henderson et al, 2009;Holmberg et al, 2010;Rosser et al, 1997;Sánchez-Fuentes y Sierra, 2015;Tracy y Junginger, 2007) se asoció de manera positiva con la satisfacción sexual. Por el contrario, percibir falta de apoyo por parte de la pareja se relacionó con menor satisfacción sexual (De Ryck et al, 2012). Entre los componentes que integran el Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction (IEMSS; Lawrance y Byers, 1995), el balance entre beneficios y costes sexuales, el nivel comparativo entre los beneficios-costes reales y los esperados, y la percepción de igualdad en relación con los beneficios sexuales obtenidos se asociaron con mayor satisfacción sexual (Byers y Cohen, 2017).…”

“…Únicamente se encontró que sentirse discriminado por ser seropositivo se asoció con menor satisfacción sexual (De Ryck et al, 2012), mientras que una mayor percepción de apoyo social se relacionó con una alta satisfacción sexual (Henderson et al, 2009). …”

Depression and Sexual Dysfunction Among HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative Men Who Have Sex With Men: Mediation by Use of Antidepressants and Recreational Stimulants

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and other forms of sexual dysfunction are highly prevalent among HIV+ men who have sex with men (MSM). Research has not previously identified the mechanisms by which depression may be associated with sexual dysfunction among HIV-positive and HIV-seronegative (HIV-negative) MSM. The present study examined the role of antidepressant use, stimulant use, and smoking as mediators of the relation between depression and sexual dysfunction among HIV-positive and HIV-negative MSM. Participants enrolled in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), an ongoing prospective study of the natural and treated histories of HIV infection among MSM in the United States, completed a modified version of the International Index of Erectile Function for MSM. The study sample included 1,363 participants, with 619 HIV-positive men and 744 HIV-negative men. A structural equation model examined depression as a predictor of subsequent sexual dysfunction, mediated by antidepressant use, stimulant use, and smoking. Depression predicted subsequent sexual function among both HIV-negative and HIV-positive MSM. This effect appeared to be both a direct effect and an indirect effect via antidepressant use. Findings suggest that antidepressant medication use may partially explain sexual dysfunction among MSM.

Sexual (Dis)satisfaction and Its Contributors Among People Living with HIV Infection in Sweden

et al. 2018

Earlier research reports lower sexual satisfaction among people living with HIV (PLHIV) compared to HIV-negative persons. A number of psychosocial factors directly associated with sexual dissatisfaction have been identified. Little is known about sexual satisfaction and their contributors among PLHIV in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine direct and indirect effects of variables within sociodemographic, clinical HIV-related, psychological, and sexual domains on sexual (dis)satisfaction among PLHIV in Sweden. Data for this study were derived from a nationally representative, anonymous survey among PLHIV conducted in 2014 (n = 1096). Statistical analysis included four steps: descriptive analyses, identification of variables associated with sexual (dis)satisfaction, identification of variables associated with those contributors of sexual (dis)satisfaction, and a path model integrating all these analyses. A total of 49% of participants reported being sexually dissatisfied, and no significant differences were observed when non-heterosexual men, heterosexual men, and women were compared. Among women, a negative change in sex life after HIV diagnosis and distress with orgasmic difficulties was directly associated with sexual dissatisfaction. For men, hopelessness, high HIV stigma, sexual inactivity in the last 6 months, and a negative change in sex life after HIV diagnosis were directly associated with sexual dissatisfaction. Path analyses showed in both men and women significant indirect associations between not being involved in an intimate relationship, lower self-reported CD4 cell counts, and perceiving obligation to disclose HIV status to sexual partners as a barrier to look for a long-term partner and sexual dissatisfaction. Our results show that despite good treatment outcomes, the HIV diagnosis has a negative bearing on sexual satisfaction. The need for gender-tailored interventions and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
