虽然性活动通常被认为是情绪健康的关键组成部分，但人们对缺乏性活动的相关因素及其与自我报告的幸福感的关系知之甚少。使用美国综合社会调查-国家死亡指数2008数据集，一系列具有全国代表性的调查（1988-2002），这项研究分析了与过去一年的性生活和自我报告的幸福感相关的社会人口统计和生活方式因素。在对婚姻状况进行调整后，美国成年人报告过去一年无性行为的比例没有明显的时间趋势。在参与者（年龄=18-89岁）中，15.2%的男性和26.7%的女性报告了过去一年的无性行为，而8.7%的男性和17.5%的女性报告了5年或更长时间的无性行为。对于两种性别，在多变量模型中，过去几年的无亲属关系与年龄较大和目前未婚密切相关。在男性中，多变量分析还显示，无性与提供不到20%的家庭收入（OR 2.27）。在女性参与者中，性冷淡与收入非常低，健康状况不佳，经济满意度较低，没有孩子和保守的性态度有关（OR 1.46-3.60）。对于两种性别来说，黑人种族与目前未婚成年人中无性的可能性低得多有关。所谓的无性对自我报告的幸福水平的不利影响在这项大型的全国代表性研究中并不明显，在调整社会人口因素后。性冷淡的美国人与性活跃的美国人报告的幸福水平非常相似。
Although sexual activity is commonly believed to be a key component of emotional well-being, little is known about the factors associated with the absence of sexual activity or its associations with self-reported happiness. Using the U.S. General Social Survey–National Death Index 2008 dataset, a series of nationally representative surveys (1988–2002), this study analyzed the sociodemographic and life style factors associated with past-year sexlessness and self-reported happiness among American adults (n = 17,744). After adjustment for marital status, there were no significant time trends evident in the proportion of American adults reporting past-year sexlessness. Among participants (age =18–89 years), 15.2% of males and 26.7% of females reported past-year sexlessness while 8.7% of males and 17.5% of females reported no sex for 5 years or more. For both genders, past-years exlessness was most strongly associated with older age and being currently non-married in the multivariable models. Among males, the multivariable analysis also showed that sexlessness was associated with providing less than 20% of the house-hold income (OR 2.27). In female participants, sexlessness was associated with very low income, poor health, lower financial satisfaction, absence of children, and having conservative sexual attitudes (OR 1.46–3.60). For both genders, Black race was associated with a much lower likelihood of sexlessness among currently non-married adults. The purported detrimental impact of sexlessness on self-reported happiness levels was not evident in this large, nationally representative study after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Sexless Americans reported very similar happiness levels as their sexually active counterparts.
