Abstract：
Introduction: Body dissatisfaction is a well-established risk factor for emotional problems and low levels of well-being indicators, such as sexual health. Cognitive models propose that dissatisfaction with one\'s body can cause cognitive distraction related to physical appearance during sexual activity. This may compromise sexual response, namely, sexual satisfaction in heterosexual cis women. However, this relationship has only been studied within heterosexual samples. The present study aims to test a mediation model using cognitive distraction related to body appearance during sexual activity as a mediator between body dissatisfaction and sexual satisfaction in LGB+ cis people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and other minority sexual orientations). Methods: This cross-sectional online study comprised 165 cisgender LGB+ participants (n = 67 cis women, 40.6%; n = 98 cis men, 59.4%). Self-report questionnaires were used: the Global Body Dissatisfaction Scale, the Body Appearance Distraction Scale, and a Single-Item Measure of Sexual Satisfaction. Results: Cis women and cis men experience similar levels of body dissatisfaction, cognitive distraction with body appearance during sexual activity, and sexual satisfaction. Body appearance cognitive distraction during sexual activity mediated the relationship between body dissatisfaction and sexual satisfaction only in the men\'s sample. Discussion: Overall, in terms of gender and body dissatisfaction, our results reveal a reversed pattern than those found in heterosexual samples. This may be because LGB+ cis women may conform less to societal pressure, leading to less meaning given to body dissatisfaction in relation to sexuality, which may lead to more positive sexual outcomes. Likewise, LGB+ cis men present higher body dissatisfaction and experience lower sexual satisfaction, possibly due to the emphasis on physical appearance in the gay subculture. The results confirm the validity of cognitive models of sexual response.
摘要：
简介:身体不满意是情绪问题和幸福感指标水平较低的公认风险因素,比如性健康。认知模型提出，对身体的不满会导致与性活动期间的身体外观有关的认知分心。这可能会影响性反应，即,异性恋顺式女性的性满意度。然而,这种关系只在异性恋样本中进行了研究。本研究旨在测试一种调解模型，该模型使用与性活动期间的身体外观有关的认知分心作为LGB顺式人群的身体不满和性满意度之间的中介（女同性恋，同性恋,双性恋,和其他少数族裔的性取向)。方法：这项横断面在线研究包括165名顺式LGB+参与者(n=67名顺式女性，40.6%；n=98名男性男性，59.4%）。使用自我报告问卷：全球身体不满意量表，身体外观干扰量表,和性满意度的单一项目衡量标准。结果：顺式女性和顺式男性的身体不满程度相似，性活动过程中对身体外观的认知干扰，和性满足。仅在男性样本中，性活动过程中的身体外观认知分散介导了身体不满与性满足之间的关系。讨论：总的来说，在性别和身体不满方面，我们的结果揭示了一个相反的模式比发现异性恋样本。这可能是因为LGB+顺式女性可能较少适应社会压力，导致与性有关的身体不满的意义减少，这可能会导致更积极的性结果。同样，LGB+顺式男性表现出较高的身体不满和较低的性满意度，可能是由于同性恋亚文化中对外表的重视。结果证实了性反应认知模型的有效性。
