Childhood maltreatment, sexual desire and sexual distress in couples: the role of touch aversion
These findings provide theoretical support for the role of touch aversion in the sexual dynamics of couples reporting CM, underscoring the interdependent nature of partners' sexual desire and distress. Clinically, understanding how individuals with a CM history respond to touch may highlight a modifiable psychological process that could help couples navigate their sexual desire and distress.
