Abstract
Objectives
This study examined the associations among erectile difficulties, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction, and whether there is a buffering effect of non-penetrative partnered sex on relationship satisfaction in men aged 50+ who report erectile difficulties.
Methods
An analysis of survey data from 431 Czech men (aged 50-96, Mdn = 64).
Results
Engagement in non-penetrative partnered sex did not moderate the relationship between erectile difficulties and sexual and relationship satisfaction, but it was linked to higher sexual and relationship satisfaction.
Conclusions
The buffering effect of non-penetrative practices for the link between erectile difficulties and relationship satisfaction has not been supported.
