Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Appearance dissatisfaction is a sensitive issue and has been tied to depression, dissatisfaction in romantic relationships, and reduced sexual satisfaction.
OBJECTIVE: This study sought to examine associations between appearance satisfaction and specific sexual problems and related distress, testing also the moderating role of relationship satisfaction.
METHODS: A large web-sample of Norwegians in romantic relationships (N = 2,903) completed a one-time survey.
RESULTS: Participants reported on their experience of five different sexual problems and associated level of distress.
RESULTS: We found that appearance satisfaction was associated with reporting fewer sexual problems, and specifically, with a smaller likelihood of experiencing problems with lack of enjoyment, lack of excitement, and lack of climax. Furthermore, appearance satisfaction was unrelated to overall sexual problem-related distress, but was associated with feeling less distress about lack of excitement and lack of climax. Relationship satisfaction did not serve as a moderator of the associations.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest the importance of attending to appearance satisfaction when working with clients with multiple sexual problems, particularly those related to excitement and enjoyment.
UNASSIGNED: Strengths of the study include a large sample of partnered adults and assessment of specific sexual problems and associated distress. A limitation is that outcomes were assessed using single items, rather than multi-item scales.
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the importance of examining the presence of sexual problems and associated distress separately, and to consider appearance satisfaction as a predictor of sexual functioning.

摘要：
背景：外观不满意是一个敏感问题，与抑郁症有关，对浪漫关系的不满，性满意度降低。
目的：本研究旨在探讨外观满意度与特定性问题及相关痛苦之间的关联。还测试了关系满意度的调节作用。
方法：对恋爱关系中的挪威人（N=2,903）进行了一次调查。
结果：参与者报告了他们对五种不同性问题的经历以及相关的痛苦程度。
结果：我们发现外观满意度与报告较少的性问题有关，特别是,经历缺乏乐趣的问题的可能性较小，缺乏兴奋,缺乏高潮。此外，外观满意度与整体性问题相关的困扰无关，但与对缺乏兴奋和缺乏高潮感到不那么痛苦有关。关系满意度并不是协会的主持人。
结论：这些发现表明，在与有多种性问题的客户合作时，注意外观满意度的重要性，特别是那些与兴奋和享受有关的。
■这项研究的优势包括大量的成年伴侣样本以及对特定性问题和相关痛苦的评估。一个限制是使用单个项目评估结果，而不是多项目的尺度。
结论：该研究强调了分别检查性问题和相关痛苦的重要性。并将外观满意度视为性功能的预测指标。
