Abstract

Background: The pandemic affected the psychological well-being and sexuality of the population, especially among vulnerable groups such as men from sexual minorities.

Method: In Spain, a total of 320 heterosexual men and 151 sexual minority men, aged between 18 and 60, answered an ad hoc online questionnaire about sexual behavior during the lockdown.

Results: Compared to heterosexual men, during the lockdown, sexual minority men masturbated more, engaged in more sexual activities online, and had more sex with non-cohabitants. Heterosexual men had more sexual relations with their partners. Living with a partner during the lockdown predicted an improvement in sex life, especially for heterosexual men. Furthermore, the emotional impact of lockdown was a predictor of a worsening sex life regardless of sexual orientation.

Conclusions: Future interventions should take into account that men's sex lives are mediated by the emotional impact of the moment, especially among sexual minority men, since the quality of their sex life shows a weaker relationship with some of the protective variables studied (living with a partner).

新冠肺炎封锁期间西班牙男性性生活的性取向差异

背景:这一流行病影响到人口的心理健康和性行为，特别是性少数群体的男子等弱势群体。方法:在西班牙，共有320名异性恋男性和151名性少数群体男性，年龄在18至60岁之间，回答了一份关于封锁期间性行为的特别在线问卷。结果:与异性恋男性相比，在封锁期间，性少数男性手淫次数更多，网上性活动次数更多，与非同居者发生性行为的次数更多。异性恋男性与伴侣的性关系更多。在封锁期间与伴侣一起生活预示着性生活的改善，尤其是对异性恋男性而言。此外，无论性取向如何，禁闭对情感的影响都预示着性生活的恶化。结论:未来的干预措施应该考虑到男性的性生活是由当下的情绪影响所调节的，特别是在性取向较少的男性中，因为他们的性生活质量与研究的一些保护性变量(与伴侣生活)的关系较弱。
