“…In fact, sensation-seeking as an emotion-related personality trait is significant in marital relations, with tangible and undeniable impacts on married couples' emotional relationship [35]. Stress, emotional disorder, or lack of awareness of sexual function and physiology can all impact sexual activity [36]. According to the results of the present study, there was a causal relationship between sensationseeking and novelty-seeking mediated by sexual function in men.…”

Background: Potential problems among couples can negatively impact the lives of the family. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sensation-seeking, gender role conflict, and novelty-seeking in married men with the mediating role of sexual function. Methods: This was a correlational study performed by path analysis. The statistical population comprised all married men in Bushehr (Iran) who visited marriage counseling centers in 2020. A total of 384 married men were selected as the sample using convenience sampling. The research tools included the Zuckerman Sensation-seeking Scale-V, the Gender Role Conflict Scale, Justification for Extramarital Involvement Questionnaire (JEIQ), and the Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale-Erectile Functioning (SSES-E). Data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: Based on demographic results, the mean (SD) of the age of participants was 45.29 (6.37) years. The results revealed a significant relationship between sensation-seeking and sexual function, and between sensation and novelty-seeking in men (p<0.001). There was also a causal relationship between sensationseeking and novelty-seeking mediated by sexual function in men (P=0.004). The findings also revealed a significant relationship between gender role conflict and sexual function as well as novelty-seeking (p<0.001), and a significant relationship between gender role conflict and novelty-seeking mediated by sexual function in men (P=0.012). Conclusion:According to the results, the proposed model had adequate fitness. Male sensation-seeking and gender role conflict lead to numerous problems for men, spouses, the family, and society.

“…Therefore it is essential to examine this variable during global crises such as pandemics. Some previous studies suggested that changes in sexual behavior (in particular, a decrease in sexual activity, e.g., reduction in frequency and in casual sex) and an increase in sexual dysfunction were dependent on the social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic 51,52]. Moreover, two reviews and one meta-analysis found higher rates of sexual dysfunction and reduced sexual activity during COVID-19-related restrictions [53][54][55].…”

“…Furthermore, scoping reviews [46,51] showed that sexual difficulties and sexual dissatisfaction are related to difficulties in emotion regulation. Therefore, Fischer et al [51] suggest that future research should include emotional regulation interventions to alleviate sexual health problems.…”

Background: Research suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions decreased sexual function and satisfaction. The present study examines the direct relationship between sexual satisfaction and restrictions during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in Poland between 3 September 2020 and 18 January 2021. A convenience sample of 1364 adults, aged 18–67 (M = 25.13, SD = 6.45), among whom 62.39% were women, and 23.17% were single, completed anonymous web-based survey. The Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ) and Stringency Index (IS) were used to assess sexual satisfaction and the level of restrictions during the pandemic, respectively. Results: No direct association was found between sexual satisfaction and the level of restrictions during the lockdown. Sexual satisfaction was significantly worse among single participants than those living in a couple. No gender differences were found in sexual satisfaction. Conclusions: Future studies should examine an indirect association between sexual satisfaction and restrictions during the pandemic via stress and anxiety. Single relationship status should be considered a risk factor for sexual satisfaction, so single individuals should be a target group for prevention programs during the pandemic.

“…In summary, the present study aims to explore the relationship between psychological distress, emotion regulation, personality characteristics, sexual relationship, and occurrence of TEF during IVF-ET treatment, to provide the basis for effective clinical interventions and prevention. According to the previous studies (Allen and Walter, 2018;Maestre-Lorén et al, 2021;Fischer et al, 2022), the study proposed that psychological distress and personality of neuroticism could induce the occurrence of TEF and better emotion regulation and sexual relationship could prevent the occurrence of TEF.…”

ObjectiveTemporary ejaculation failure on the oocyte retrieval day might leading interruption of the oocyte retrieval procedure. The present study aims to understand the psychosocial factor that affects men with temporary ejaculation failure (TEF) in Vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, and thus provide new ideas for optimal clinical treatment.Study designIn a prospective study, the male patients during IVF treatment in a reproductive center of a tertiary hospital in Shandong were divided into two groups, 70 men with TEF and 79 normal controls. General population sociology and clinical disease were investigated, and the Kessler 10 scale, emotion regulation questionnaire, big five inventory questionnaire, and sex subscale of marriage quality were used to assess the psychological distress, emotion regulation, neuroticism, and satisfaction with sexual life.ResultsThe scores of perceived distress and neuroticism of the TEF group were higher than the non-TEF group (p < 0.001), and cognitive reappraisal and sexual relationship were significantly lower than those in the non-TEF group (p < 0.001). Psychological distress (OR 1.130, p = 0.031) and neuroticism (OR 1.096, p = 0.050) were risk factors for TEF, while cognitive reappraisal (OR 0.883, p = 0.004) and sexual relationship (OR 0.712, p < 0.001) was protective factors.ConclusionThe present study demonstrates that psychosocial factors influence TEF in IVF-ET patients, which provides the basis for the prevention of the occurrence of TEF in a male undergoing IVF-ET.
