Physicians at Max Stern College in Jezril Valley in Israel have seen a link between disordered eating and sexual dysfunction in women. In the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, the data of the corresponding study were published.
More than 340 women in permanent relationships became participants in the study. The subjects were surveyed and questioned. The results showed that a high level of disordered eating was significantly associated with a higher motivation to approve a partner through sex.
The second finding: high levels of disordered eating was significantly associated with lower sexual motivation, the researchers added, noting that both findings point to low levels of sexual satisfaction and sexual dysfunction.
The results of the current study suggest that women with disordered eating used sex for self-affirmation, overcoming negative emotions, approval of a partner, but not for pleasure.
