Abstract(s)
As dificuldades na relação sexual tendem a ser uma das principais razões pelas quais os
casais procuram terapia. A evidência mostra que, a satisfação com a vida sexual, leva a
uma maior satisfação com o seu relacionamento romântico. O interesse e o envolvimento
em relações não monogâmicas consensuais (RNMC) tem vindo a aumentar. A perspetiva
clássica do estudo da vinculação, assume a monogamia como necessária para uma
vinculação segura. Assim, este estudo teve como principal objetivo averiguar se um estilo
de vinculação (primária e romântica) seguro explica uma maior satisfação e um maior
desejo sexual em indivíduos em relacionamentos monogâmicos (RM) e RNMC. Para tal,
mediu-se a vinculação, a satisfação e o desejo sexual. A amostra foi constituída por 424
participantes dos quais 90% (n = 382) mantinham um RM e 10% (n = 42), mantinham
um RNMC. Os resultados mostram que, não existem diferenças na satisfação sexual entre
indivíduos em RM e RNMC, contudo indivíduos em RNMC apresentam maior desejo
sexual. Ainda, mostram que, não existem diferenças significativas na satisfação e no
desejo sexual entre indivíduos com uma vinculação segura, comparativamente indivíduos
com uma vinculação insegura. Análises complementares mostram que, não foram
encontradas diferenças significativas na relação entre o estilo de vinculação e o tipo de
relacionamento. Apenas foram encontrados efeitos mediadores da vinculação romântica
na relação entre a vinculação com o pai e as variáveis da dimensão da sexualidade:
satisfação e desejo sexual. Discutem-se as implicações a nível social e clínico.
ABSTRACT: Difficulties in sexual relations tend to be one of the main reasons why couples seek therapy. Evidence shows that satisfaction with your sex life leads to greater satisfaction with your romantic relationship. Interest and involvement in consensual nonmonogamous relationships (CNMR) have increased. The classical perspective of the study of attachment assumes monogamy as necessary for a secure attachment. Thus, this study's main objective was to discover whether a secure attachment style (primary and romantic) explains greater satisfaction and greater sexual desire in individuals in monogamous relationships (MR) and CNMR. To this end, the attachment, satisfaction and sexual desire were measured. The sample consisted of 424 participants of which 90% (n = 382) maintained an MR and 10% (n = 42) maintained an CNMR. The results show that there are no differences in sexual satisfaction between individuals in MR and CNMR, however individuals in CNMR have higher sexual desire. Furthermore, they show that there are no significant differences in sexual satisfaction and sexual desire between individuals with a secure attachment, compared to individuals with an insecure attachment. Additional analyzes show that no significant differences were found in the relationship between attachment style and type of relationship. Mediating effects of romantic attachment were only found in the relationship between attachment to the father and the variables of the sexuality dimension: satisfaction and sexual desire. The social and clinical implications are discussed.
