“…Similar results have been found for men with sexual dysfunctions (Nobre & Pinto-Gouveia, 2006;Rowland, Georgoff, & Burnett, 2011). Studies conducted with clinical samples with different sexual problems have indicated that experiencing more negative emotions (negative affect) and less positive emotions (positive affect) during sexual activity was common in men and women with sexual desire problems (Carvalho & Nobre, 2010Geonét, de Sutter, & Zech, 2013;Mehta, Walls, Blood, & Shrier, 2014;Nobre, 2009;Nobre & Pinto-Gouveia, 2008; Running head: AFFECT, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND SEXUAL PROBLEMS 5 Feldman, Black, Walls, Kensall, Lops, & Beardslee, 2012), men with erectile disorder (Nobre, 2010;Nobre & Pinto-Gouveia, 2000), women with symptoms of persistent genital arousal disorder (Carvalho, Veríssimo, & Nobre, 2013), and women with dyspareunia (Brauer, Ter Kuile, Laan, & Trimbos, 2009). …”

“…Indeed, previous research has found that a lack of focus on sensations during sex may make individuals more vulnerable to the development and maintenance of sexual dysfunctions (e.g., for a review, see Géonet et al, 2013). Previous psychological interventions aimed at reducing female sexual dysfunction target constructs that are very similar to the Acting with awareness facet.…”

“…However, as evidenced by Krapf and Simon (2009), to date, no treatments have been shown to significantly increase low libido. One potential explanation could be that psychological processes, such as intrusive thoughts or attentional focus, may play an important role in women's libido (e.g., for a review, see Géonet, De Sutter, & Zech, 2013). In contrast to pharmaceuticals, it is now widely documented that psychological interventions result in increased relationship satisfaction, resumption of sexual activity, and improved control of vaginal dilatation among women suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder or orgasmic disorder (Berry & Berry, 2013;Frühauf, Gerger, Schmidt, Munder, & Barth, 2013).…”

It has been recently demonstrated that mindfulness-based intervention may be particularly suitable for addressing sexual difficulties in women. Although the FiveFacet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) is currently one of the most widely used scales to assess mindfulness, no adaptation and validation of the FFMQ to measure female sexual functioning has been published. The main aim of this study was to develop and validate a sexual version of the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-S) to specifically measure mindfulness in the context of sexual encounters. A total of 251 healthy, French-speaking female volunteers were administered the FFMQ-S, the original FFMQ, and the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-R). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the FFMQ-S exhibits a five-factor model, as implied by the original FFMQ. Good scale reliability was observed. The FFMQ-S showed significant correlations with the FSDS-R and the usual FFMQ. Scores on the FFMQ-S correlated significa...

The FFMQ-S showed significant correlations with the FSDS-R and the usual FFMQ. Scores on the FFMQ-S correlated significantly more negatively with the total FSDS-R score than with the total score of the original version of the FFMQ. These findings clearly support the relevance of developing a version of the FFMQ tailored to sexual functioning.

“…Beliefs play a key role in cognitive structures and are in general the result of learning and life experiences (19). Beliefs related to sexuality are impacted by cultural background, educational, and societal influence as well as by personal experiences (20,21). Religious-based education and social expectations may promote conservative beliefs towards sexuality, and thus play a major role in developing dysfunctional sexual beliefs (21).…”

The strength of this study is in providing an examination of the role of culturally bound beliefs in predicting sexual dissatisfaction in women from different cultural backgrounds. Limitations include the lack of evaluation of psychological and interpersonal variables that may impact on women's sexual dissatisfaction. These findings suggest that there may be a role of culture in shaping beliefs, attitudes, and values toward sexuality; and provide evidence for the effect of cognitive-emotional variables in predicting women's sexual dissatisfaction.
