该研究考察了阴茎阴道性交频率（FSI;与其他性行为相比）与述情障碍（难以识别，识别和交流情感，幻想能力降低和外向认知风格）之间的关系。为了最大限度地减少反应偏差，在艾森克人格问卷谎言量表上得分高于第86百分位数的人被排除在外。参与者（54名女性和39名男性健康年轻人）完成了德国版的多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20），并提供了FSI、无阴道性交的伴侣性行为和手淫的回忆和日记测量。对于女性来说，TAS-20评分与FSI的回忆和日记测量呈负相关，但与其他性行为无关。对于男性，TAS-20评分与所有性行为指标无关。因此，对于正常女性而非男性，述情障碍与较低的FSI特别相关。结果进行了讨论的阴茎阴道性交，情感整合和性行为的独特性质，以及较少的述情障碍和更大的FSI与更好的身体和心理健康的指数。
The study examined the relation between frequency of penile-vaginal intercourse (FSI; contrasted with other sexual behavior) and alexithymia (difficulty recognizing, identifying, and communicating emotions, reduced fantasy capacity, and an externally oriented cognitive style). To minimize response bias, persons scoring above the 86th percentile on the Eysenck Personality Inventory Lie scale were excluded. Participants (54 female and 39 male healthy young adults) completed the German version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and provided both recall and diary measures of FSI, partner sex without vaginal intercourse, and masturbation. For women, TAS-20 scores were inversely associated with both recall and diary measures of FSI but not other sexual behavior. For men, TAS-20 scores were unrelated to all sexual behavior measures. Thus, for normal women but not men, alexithymia was specifically associated with lower FSI. Results are discussed in terms of the unique nature of penile-vaginal intercourse, emotional integration and sexuality, and both less alexithymia and greater FSI being associated with indices of better physical and psychological health.
