“…Much research has shown that negative body image and body dissatisfaction leads to low self-esteem. Sexual self-esteem is currently being assessed as the value that each person attributes to one self as a sexual being related to sexual competence, sexual identity and sexual self-acceptance [3].…”

Self-objectification and sexual satisfaction: A preregistered test of the replicability and robustness of Calogero & Thompson (2009) in a sample of U.S. women
