Because sex differences in SSS and SC have been reported, gender identity (GI; an individual\u2019s own experience of his or her gender that is unrelated to the actual biological sex) might act as a moderator in this relation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To understand the role of SSS and SC for men and women's sexual functioning and to explore whether these potential associations are moderated by GI.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A population-based cross-sectional online survey targeted 279 individuals (69.2% women, 30.8% men; mean age\u00a0= 32 years). Validated questionnaires, including the Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale, the Sexual Compulsivity Scale, the Female Sexual Function Index, the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool, and the International Index of Erectile Function, were applied.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Variations in SSS and SC and their association with sexual functioning were investigated using Spearman rank correlation.

In women, higher levels of SSS were associated with higher levels of desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm and less sexual pain (P &amp;lt; .05 for all comparisons). No moderating effect of GI could be detected. In men, GI was a significant moderator in the relation between SC and erectile function (\u03b2\u00a0= 0.47; P &amp;lt; .001) and between SSS and erectile and ejaculatory function (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a0\u22120.41 and 0.30; P &amp;lt; .001 for the two comparisons).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The present study is the first to show a link between SSS and SC and sexual functioning.
