“…While partners may experience an increase in their levels of intimacy and commitment in a satisfying relationship, they often show a decrease in their level of passion (e.g., Garcia, 1998). Although some people report that their passion remains constant over time (Frederick et al, 2017), the majority of people experience a decline (e.g., Beck, 1995; Brewis & Meyer, 2005; Clement, 2002; Levine, 2003).…”

“…Although the role of sexual desire may vary over the course of a relationship (Birnbaum & Reis, 2006, 2012; Bredow et al, 2008), sexuality is important in most romantic relationships and differentiates the romantic relationship from other close relationships (Butzer & Campbell, 2008; Laumann et al, 2006; Muise et al, 2016; Sprecher, 2002). At the beginning of the relationship, sexual desire is high but shows substantial decline over the course of the relationship (e.g., Beck, 1995; Brewis & Meyer, 2005; Clement, 2002; Levine, 2003). Weaker sexual desire, in turn, is associated with lower sexual frequency and lower satisfaction (e.g., Call et al, 1995; Schmiedeberg et al, 2017; Sprecher, 2002).…”

Previous research has not led to any agreement as to the normative trajectory of relationship satisfaction. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we summarize the available evidence on development of relationship satisfaction, as a function of age and relationship duration. Data came from 165 independent samples including 165,039 participants. In the analyses, we examined cross-sectional information on mean level, that is, the percent-of-maximum-possible (POMP) score at the first assessment, and longitudinal information on mean change (i.e., change in POMP scores per year). The mean age associated with effect sizes ranged from 20 to 76 years and the mean relationship duration from 3 months to 46 years. Results on mean levels indicated that relationship satisfaction decreased from age 20 to 40, reached a low point at age 40, then increased until age 65, and plateaued in late adulthood. As regards the metric of relationship duration, relationship satisfaction decreased during the first 10 years of the relationship, reached a low point at 10 years, increased until 20 years, and then decreased again. Results on mean change indicated that relationship satisfaction decreased within a given relationship, with the largest declines in young adulthood and in the first years of a relationship. Moderator analyses suggested that presence of children and measure of relationship satisfaction explained variance in the mean level. Except for these two moderators, the pattern of findings held across characteristics such as birth cohort, sample type, country, ethnicity, gender, household shared with partner, marital status, relationship transitions, and dyadic data. Public Significance StatementThis systematic review and meta-analysis provides a robust picture of normative development of relationship satisfaction across the life span, focusing on the role of age and relationship duration in describing this pattern. On average, results indicated both decreases and increases in relationship satisfaction across the life span, but trajectories differed systematically between the time metrics. Specifically, the findings showed a U-shaped trend for age and a more complex, dynamic pattern for relationship duration.

“…Globalmente, os resultados sustentam um modelo relacional da sexualidade humana, uma vez que as variáveis usadas se reportam à unidade sistémica (casal), i.e., são diádicas, e associam-se entre sim num modelo significativo que considera as trocas interpessoais, i.e., a partilha de informação num contexto interpessoal (e.g. Clement, 2002;Stanton & Welsh, 2012). Especificamente, a autorrevelação sexual é uma variável mediadora da relação entre a intimidade emocional e a satisfação sexual, sendo apresentada como um meio de aumentar esta última, o que é consistente com estduos anteriores que salientaram o papel da auto-revelação enquanto processo medidaor nas relações humanas (Timm & Keiley, 2011).…”

Recibido el 31 de julio de 2018; aceptado el 5 de junio de 2019 Resumo O objetivo de deste estudo foi testar um modelo de mediação da expressão de sentimentos e a satisfação sexual via autorrevelação, enquanto processo, é uma variável mediadora significativa da associação entre a expressão de sentimentos e a satisfação sexual. A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 564 participantes (370 mulheres, 65,60%), cisgénero, heterossexuais, numa relação diádica de exclusividade e compromisso. Foram testados dois modelos: um modelo de mediação simples e um modelo de mediação moderada, sendo este último usado para testa a influência do género no modelo de mediação. Os resultados demonstraram que, globalmente, homens e mulheres apresentaram valores médios idênticos na autorrevelação sexual e satisfação sexual; se contudo, na expressão de sentimentos, as mulheres apresentaram valores significativamente superiores. A expressão de sentimentos revelou-se uma variável preditora significativa da satisfação sexual e a autorrevelação sexual como uma variável parcialmente mediadora do modelo. No entanto, o género não modera a expressão de sentimentos e a autorrevelação. O presente estudo demonstra que a expressão de sentimentos e a autorrevelação sexual são importantes aspetos da satisfação sexual de ambos os géneros.

“…Since Masters and Johnson's behavioural approach, numerous integrations and adaptations have been developed including cognitive therapy approaches (e.g. Ford, 2005;Hawton, 1985;Payne et al, 2005), systems and couples' approaches (Clement, 2002;Gehring, 2003) and critical and third wave approaches (Atwood & Dershowitz, 1992;Barker, 2011). More recently, mindfulness approaches have been promoted and researched Stephenson, 2017;Stephenson & Kerth, 2017).…”

Psychosexual therapy has undergone numerous developments since the introduction of behavioural therapy for sexual difficulties by Masters and Johnson in the 1960s. We argue that theory and practice from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) offers a novel and relevant development to existing approaches to psychosexual theory and practice. CFT presents a theory driven, flexible, transdiagnostic and integrative way of understanding, formulating and treating general mental health problems. In this paper we propose that the underlying theory from CFT integrates well with existing approaches to psychosexual therapy, and offers some helpfulways of formulating sexual problems to present a coherent rationale for treatment strategies. We also argue that some additional CFT treatment strategies already used in general mental health settings are appropriate and helpful for those experiencing sexual difficulties. This paper outlines how CFT can be theoretically integrated with existing psychosexual therapy.
