People who are not satisfied with their physical appearance are less blossomed sexually, according to a new study.
- The French have an average of 10.6 sexual partners in their life.
- 75% of the French couple, 66% of them live together under the same roof.
According to a new study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, people with poor body image are less sexually fulfilled, even if they have been in a relationship for a long time.
123 couples surveyed
“Body image problems are very common and are not unique to women,” recalls in the preamble the author of the study Marissa Bowsfield. “Sex is also a very important component of most romantic relationships” and can really affect how it works, she adds.
To understand what are the interactions between these two fields, his team asked 123 couples to answer four online surveys a year. All the lovers lived together and lived their history last 4 years on average.
First lesson after analysis of responses: women and men in the cohort who had a higher BMI were less likely to love their bodies. In contrast, people who felt more satisfied with their physical were less likely to agree with the following statement: “I feel very anxious during sex.” They also adhered more to the two sentences below: “My partner makes me really happy sexually” and “My sex life is fulfilling.” Finally, the researchers found that the level of anxiety of a person during sexual intercourse also affect the satisfaction of his partner.
interference
“The less satisfied women and men are with their bodies, the more anxiety they experience during sex, which leads to carnal dissatisfaction in both members of the couple”, summarizes Marissa Bowsfield in PsyPost. “This is likely because anxiety interferes with the ability to fully engage in sexual activity,” she concludes.
