The Quiet Sacrifice: How Sexual Coercion Experiences Shape Women's Sexual Wellbeing Garrido Macías, Marta Gómez Pulido, Edgardo Sáez, Gemma Expósito Jiménez, Francisca Sexual coercion Sexual satisfaction Relationship satisfaction Sexual coercion profoundly impacts women's sexual and relational well-being, necessitating an understanding of its underlying processes. This study examines the relationship between sexual coercion victimization and women's sexual and relationship satisfaction. A cross-sectional design with 113 women in heterosexual relationships assessed experiences of sexual coercion, self-silencing, unmitigated sexual communion, controlled reasons for sex, sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, and sexual desire. Findings indicate that sexual coercion victimization leads to higher levels of self-silencing and prioritization of partners' needs, resulting in lower sexual and relationship satisfaction and reduced sexual desire. The study highlights the need to address self-silencing and prioritization of partners' needs in interventions for sexual coercion victims, offering insights for gender-sensitive programs to mitigate these negative outcomes and encourage full sexual consent. 2026-03-16T12:50:27Z 2026-03-16T12:50:27Z 2026-02-22 journal article Garrido Macías, M., Gómez-Pulido, E.
