东亚人和欧洲人后裔之间的性欲差异是有据可查的，东亚人的性欲较低。造成这种差异的机制几乎没有得到经验主义的关注。最近的研究发现，性内疚，“对违反或预期违反适当性行为标准的自我调解惩罚的一般预期”（Mosher & Cross，1971，第27页），在东亚和欧洲-加拿大妇女中调解文化和性欲之间的关系。这项研究的目的是探索性内疚在男性中的作用。男性欧洲-加拿大（n = 38）和东亚（n = 45）大学生完成在线问卷。东亚男性的性欲明显较低，性内疚感明显较高。性内疚是种族和性欲之间的关系，以及主流文化适应和性欲之间的一个显着的中介。在东亚男性中，主流文化适应与性内疚呈显著负相关，主流文化适应的增加与性内疚的减少相关。诊断和临床意义的研究结果进行了讨论。
Differences in sexual desire between individuals of East Asian and European descent are well-documented, with East Asian individuals reporting lower sexual desire. The mechanisms that underlie this disparity have received little empirical attention. Recent research has found that sex guilt, “a generalized expectancy for self-mediated punishment for violating or for anticipating violating standards of proper sexual conduct” (Mosher & Cross, 1971, p. 27), mediates the relationship between culture and sexual desire in East Asian and Euro-Canadian women. The goal of this study was to explore this role of sex guilt in men. Male Euro-Canadian (n = 38) and East Asian (n = 45) university students completed online questionnaires. The East Asian men reported significantly lower sexual desire and significantly higher sex guilt. Sex guilt was a significant mediator of the relationship between ethnicity and sexual desire, as well as a significant mediator between mainstream acculturation and sexual desire. Among the East Asian men, mainstream acculturation was significantly and negatively correlated with sex guilt such that increasing mainstream acculturation was associated with less sex guilt. The diagnostic and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
