YOGYAKARTA Self-esteem in sexual intercourse affects decisions made and to what extent is everyone who is paired involved in an intimate situation together. But apparently, it can be seen whether a person has enough self-esteem or not.

A number of studies show that self-esteem is associated with sexual satisfaction. If you have low sexual self-esteem, it has a negative impact on sexual satisfaction. Another study conducted by Hale and Strassberg reported experimental results to test the effects of adequate and low sexual self-esteem. The results show there is a significant impact on sexual arousal.

Self-esteem is a feeling involved in sexual practice with successful procedures and results. Each person's age has a different level of self-esteem. In addition to age, skills or interests also determine the level of self-esteem.

Many people think that married people have a high level of sexual self-esteem. However, the findings of Elyakim Kislev, Ph.D. reported by Psychology Today, Monday, July 17, show a different thing. Through the analytical results of 3,207 respondents, findings show that married people have lower rates of sexual self-esteem than almost all measured groups. Seven groups of relationship status are included in this study, including married individuals, consisting of the largest sample group (57,4%); singles are not married (14%); not married yet married who have a partner but live separately (4.3%), not yet married who live with their partner (13,1%); single divorced/separated (5,3%), divorced individuals who have partners but they live separately (2.7%), and divorced / separated who currently live with their partner (3,3%).

As a result of Kislev's research, sexual self-esteem, men who divorce / separate and live separately from couples and men who never get married but live with their partners is comparable to men who are married. Meanwhile, only women who never get married who live with their partners show a lower ranking than married women. Detailed and rich data from the Pairfam survey shows that singles who have never been married tend to report higher levels of sexual self-esteem.

According to Kislev, it is possible that the level of sexual self-esteem is lower in married couples. Because they feel safer so that they cover their low sexual self-esteem. This can ultimately be used as a reference and Kislev recommends that every couple should not feel inferior. This means that every couple needs to develop self-esteem, especially in the sexual aspect.

Self-esteem or self-esteem, is the ability to view yourself so as to be able to overcome the basic challenges of life and the belief that you deserve to be happy. In a sexual context, according to Women's Health, it is defined as how you view yourself as a sexual being, do you think that you are sexually attractive, sexually "competent", how to see yourself in bed with someone. It all plays a role in your sense of sexual self-esteem. Simply put, the sign of having high sexual self-esteem means confidence in self-competence and self-confidence with self-image.
