sexuality and attachment  

Definición

  • Although sexual behavior can serve a variety of physical, emotional, instrumental, or relationship-centered needs, prominent among them are such attachment-related needs as love, acceptance, closeness, intimacy, physical or emotional comfort, and control of access to one's attachment figure. This entry discusses how such attachment-related goals and concerns can affect (a) whether one chooses to engage in sex at all, (b) the reasons one seeks or avoids sexual intimacy, (c) the strategies one chooses to enact these choices, and (d) the objective and subjective results of these choices, such as sexual or relationship satisfaction.
