Sexual Advance

We examine the relations between accepting and rejecting a partner’s sexual advances with sexual and relationship satisfaction, and assess how long these effects endure. Couples (N =115) completed a 21-day daily diary indicating whether a partner made a sexual advance each day, and if so, whether the advance was accepted or rejected. Having one’s sexual advance accepted was associated with increased sexual and relationship satisfaction that day, and increased sexual satisfaction up to 24 hours later. Having one’s sexual advance rejected was associated with decreased sexual satisfaction that day and up to 48 hours later. Sexual advances made by one’s partner were associated with increased sexual satisfaction that day and for up to 72 hours later, regardless of whether the advance was accepted or rejected. Findings indicate benefits of sexual activity, but also prolonged post-rejection decreases in sexual satisfaction.

On the contrary, in the case of anxious and avoidant adultattachment, we assume a negative attitude towards relationship satisfaction. We assume thatintimacy, commitment and passion would be positively related to relationship satisfaction.Statistical analysis. Multiple linear hierarchical regression (stepwise method) was performedto verify the relations between the different types of adult attachment, intimacy, commitment,passion and relationship satisfaction.Results. Our research confirmed the relationship between adult attachment and relationshipsatisfaction, which was one of our main findings. Respondents who showed a secure type ofadult attachment were statistically more satisfied in a relationship than those who showedanxious or avoidant behavior. Another important finding was the significant relation betweenthe love component - intimacy and couple relationship satisfaction.Study limitation.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of sexual satisfaction and type of relationship between spouses, and then to determine the correlation between these variables and independent variables. These include: disability type of the child, the number of children in the family, and the gender of the parents. The hypothesis was that ‘the level of sexual satisfaction in parents is significantly related to the type of disability possessed by their children’ and similarly it was found that disability type significantly affects the type of relationship between parents. The research was conducted using the Matched Marriage Questionnaire (MMQ) and the Sexual Satisfaction Scale (SSS). The data obtained in the study showed that most spouses experience high and average sexual satisfaction and no particular differences between men and women were observed. The differences appeared when analyzing parents of a child with autism. In this group the results were more diverse in the detailed descriptions of the scale. The results obtained regarding marital relationship satisfaction indicate a not very favorable picture of the relationships of the surveyed subjects.
