As expected, there were no significant associations between SCS and avoidance sexual goals for either partner. There were also no significant associations between USC and approach or avoidance sexual goals for either partner. We also ran all analyses reported above with age and relationship duration controlled. With two exception, all of the effects remain significant. The exceptions were that the association between men’s SCS and approach goals and the association between women with FSIAD’s Table 3.
