Validation of the Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire in adults with a same-sex partner

The Spanish Version of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS-6): Evidence of Validity of a Short Version

“…Consequently, none of these sociodemographic characteristics would change the erotophobiaerotophilia construct as measured by the Spanish version of the SOS-6, which allows for the comparison of scores between different groups. Therefore, as has been demonstrated by other measures of relevant dimensions of sexual health, such as attitudes toward sexual fantasies (Arcos-Romero, , subjective orgasm experience (Arcos-Romero & Sierra, 2019), sexual satisfaction (Calvillo, Sánchez-Fuentes, Parrón, & Sierra, 2019) or the double sexual standard (Álvarez Muelas, Gómez Berrocal, Vallejo-Medina, & Sierra, 2019), the short Spanish version of the SOS-6 presents adequate psychometric properties that allow for valid comparisons of the construct among individuals with different characteristics, thus minimizing evaluation bias (Muñiz & Fonseca-Pedrero, 2019).…”

An Explanatory Model of Sexual Satisfaction in Adults with a Same-Sex Partner: An Analysis Based on Gender Differences

“…The study of sexual satisfaction of men and women with a same-sex partner is essential for the development of programs to promote the well-being of a same-sex relationship and to understand gender differences through an explanatory model of Spanish-speaking men and women with a same-sex partner. These gender differences in sexual satisfaction have been shown in the study by Calvillo et al [32]. However, it was not examined in an explanatory model.…”

“…Sexual functioning is the capacity to adequately respond to sexual stimuli and to participate in pleasurable and pain-free sexual activities [31]. Among the same-sex attracted population, good sexual functioning is associated with high sexual satisfaction [32]. On the other hand, dyadic adjustment reflects the well-being of the couple relationship seen as an entity [33], that is, as a form of general well-being associated with specific components (cohesion, consensus, and satisfaction), related to problem-solving in the relationship [34,35].…”

Calvillo et al [32] reported that a better dyadic adjustment is associated with higher sexual satisfaction among same-sex attracted individuals. Relationship satisfaction was defined by Fallis et al, based on the definition of sexual satisfaction by Lawrance and Byers [5], as "an affective response arising from one's subjective evaluation of the positive and negative dimensions associated with one's romantic relationship" [36] (p. 822).…”

“…Therefore, the aim of the present study was to present an explanatory model of sexual satisfaction in adults with a same-sex partner that (1) integrates personal and interpersonal variables, and (2) evidences gender differences in the associations of personal and interpersonal variables with sexual satisfaction. According to previous research, it was hypothesized that, for the development of the model, the personal variable of internalized homophobia and the interpersonal variables of anxiety, avoidance, and number of sexual costs would negatively associate with sexual satisfaction [22,32,40] at the moment of predicting it, while the interpersonal variables of sexual functioning, dyadic adjustment, relationship satisfaction, the balance between sexual rewards and costs in the relationship, comparison of the actual rewards and costs with those expected, and number of sexual rewards would positively associate when predicting sexual satisfaction [16,17,32].…”
