摘要

In this cross-sectional study we investigated whether attachment orientation moderated the associations between sexual excitation and inhibition and sexual desire and arousal. A convenience sample of 358 participants (242 women and 116 men; mean age: 37.6 ± 12.0) completed online questionnaires including the Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scales–Short Form, the Experiences in Close Relationships scale, the Female Sexual Function Index (women only), and the International Index of Erectile Function (men only). Associations were tested using multiple linear regression analysis. Sexual excitation/inhibition (sexual desire: BSES = .207, p = .044, BSIS1 = -.473, p < .001; sexual arousal: BSIS1 = -.419, p < .001) and attachment anxiety (sexual arousal: BANX = -.207, p < .001) independently predicted part of the variance in sexual desire and arousal. Relationship duration negatively predicted level of sexual desire (B = -.023, p < .001), while male gender positively predicted sexual desire (B = .634, p < .001) and sexual arousal (B = .487, p < .001). The associations between sexual excitation/inhibition and sexual desire and arousal were not moderated by attachment orientation. Further research into the interaction of sexual excitation and sexual inhibition proneness and adult attachment orientation as determinants of sexual desire and arousal seems warranted.
