Apego y satisfacción sexual de parejas en adultez temprana.

Abstract

Attachment and sexual satisfaction are two highly significant variables among young adults today. However, there is a limited number of studies that detail in depth the close relationship between them. Therefore, the main objective of this literature review was to analyze the various attachment styles and sexual satisfaction within partner relationships during early adulthood. This was achieved by conceptualizing and highlighting the significance of attachment styles and sexual satisfaction while describing the close relationship among different attachment styles and sexuality in early adult couples. The methodology used was qualitative, with a non-experimental descriptive approach. Information was gathered from various scientific studies through a database of high-impact journals in both English and Spanish. Additionally, the four predominant attachment styles were described: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized. Ultimately, it was confirmed that the relationship between attachment and sexual satisfaction in young adult couples is fundamental. Individuals who have established a secure attachment style during childhood tend to promote trust, security, communication, and satisfaction in both the emotional and sexual dimensions of the relationship. Conversely, those exhibiting insecure attachment styles, such as anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, tend to show lower levels of sexual satisfaction within their partnerships, highlighting the need, aversion, and negative establishment of emotional and sexual relationships.
