Title: A study of sexual satisfaction and frequency of sex among Hong Kong Chinese couples. Author: Cheung MW, Wong PW, Liu KY, Yip PS, Fan SY, Lam TH. Journal: J Sex Res; 2008; 45(2):129-39. PubMed ID: 18569534. Abstract: There have been several studies in Western societies on the causes and consequences of sexual satisfaction within marriage. Little is known, however about the marital sexual relationship in Chinese societies. Moreover, most published studies used married individuals rather than married couples as participants. The present study examined data from a well-established knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey of 1,124 Hong Kong Chinese couples on martial sexual relationship. A conceptual model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). Interest in sex was found to be the strongest predictor of both sexual satisfaction and frequency of sex for both husbands and wives. Among the sociodemographic variables, the following two were significantly associated with lower frequencies of sex: for wives, that of having a full-time job; and for husbands, the factor of age. Theoretical implications for research on the interplay among culture, marriage, and sex in non-Western societies are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
