2020年初，新型冠状病毒2019(新冠肺炎)在美国蔓延，缓解措施极大地影响了美国人的日常生活。在这项研究中，我们评估了与COVID相关的关系冲突与亲密行为和性行为和经历的变化之间的关系。利用2020年4月对1010名美国成年人进行的具有全国代表性的在线概率调查数据，我们估计了冠状病毒相关关系冲突对任何类型浪漫或性关系中的人亲密行为和性行为变化的影响(N加权=742)。此外，我们评估了冲突与性高潮的经历以及情感上与伴侣关系密切之间的联系。在恋爱中的人中，34%的人报告说，由于新冠肺炎的传播及其相关限制，他们与浪漫伴侣发生了不同程度的冲突。与那些没有经历过任何此类冲突的人相比，那些与伴侣经历过频繁的冠状病毒相关冲突的人报告说，与没有经历过任何此类冲突的人相比，他们报告的几次独身和伴侣亲密和性行为的频率明显减少，在伴侣的性行为中表现出剂量-反应趋势。自从冠状病毒和相关的社会疏远措施在美国蔓延以来，美国人在他们的浪漫伴侣关系中经历了冲突的升级，这与他们亲密生活和性生活的变化有关。
In early 2020, the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) spread across the United States and mitigation measures drastically affected the daily lives of Americans. In this study, we assessed the association between COVID-related relationship conflict and changes in intimate and sexual behaviors and experiences. Using data from an online nationally representative probability survey of 1,010 American adults in April 2020, we estimated the impact of coronavirus-related relationship conflict on changes in intimate and sexual behaviors among those in any type of romantic or sexual relationship (N-weighted=742). Further, we assessed the association between conflict and experience of orgasm and feeling emotionally close to partner. Among individuals in relationships, 34% reported some degree of conflict with their romantic partners due to the spread of COVID-19 and its related restrictions. Those experiencing frequent coronavirus-related conflict with their partner were significantly more likely to report decreased frequency of several solo and partnered intimate and sexual behaviors compared to those not experiencing any such conflict, exhibiting a dose-response trend among partnered sexual behaviors. Since the spread of coronavirus and associated social distancing measures in the United States, Americans have experienced escalations in conflict in their romantic partnerships, which was associated with changes to their intimate and sexual lives.
