Women's Wellbeing
Abstract
Women&s;s sexual wellbeing is essential to public health as an important indicator of health equity and overall wellbeing. Women who are in romantic relationship with a partner with compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB), sex addiction (SA), or problematic pornography use (PPU) experience unique harms, trauma, and other negative effects due to the nature of an addiction or compulsivity operating in the sexual system of a romantic context where safety, trust, empathy, emotional intimacy, honoring of commitments, honesty, and sexual wellbeing are foundational to a healthy secure attachment bond. Theoretical conceptual models for treating women impacted by a partner&s;s CSB/SA/PPU will be discussed as well as models for healthy relationships, sexual wellbeing, and sociocultural influences on women&s;s sexuality. Insights from research and clinical cases will illuminate how a partner&s;s CSB/SA/PPU may impact women&s;s wellbeing, sexuality, and her experiences in romantic relationship.

Romantic relationships are frequently a source of great joy, health, and fulfillment, but they may also lead to tension, sadness, and, in some cases, trauma.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
