Title: Stress, Sexual Functioning, and Marital Satisfaction.
Authors: Morokoff, Patricia J., Gillilland, Ruth
Source: Journal of Sex Research. Feb93, Vol. 30 Issue 1, p44-54. 11p. 6 Charts.
Subjects: Man-woman relationships, Happiness, Sexual behavior surveys, Sexual intercourse, Age groups, Couples
Abstract: The article highlights a study, which examined the correlation between stress, sexual functioning and marital satisfaction among men and women of a certain age group. Marital satisfaction may, of course, be directly related to sexual functioning, as suggested by previous research. For example, it has been found that happy couples engage in sexual intercourse more frequently than unhappy couples. Furthermore, a strong relationship has been found between marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction. It should be noted that frequent sex is not a prerequisite for marital happiness, as some spouses are happy with little or no sexual interaction. The relationship of specific sexual dysfunctions to marital satisfaction has been less studied than overall sexual satisfaction, although a few studies have found positive correlations between orgasm frequency and marital happiness in women. Participants were 92 men and 73 women recruited through advertisements in newspapers requesting volunteers for a study of "Health in Marriage," as well as by contacting community organizations.
