Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of sexual assertiveness and interpersonal dependency in male sexual desire using the Hurlbert Index of Sexual Desire (HISD), the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (IDI), and the Hurlbert Index of Sexual Assertiveness (HISA). The primary subjects for this study were 21 married men, who met the DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The findings indicated that men whose level of sexual assertiveness was higher than their female partners' reported the lowest levels of sexual desire. Also, the lowest levels of sexual desire were found in those men who reported the greatest emotional reliance on others. Implications for these findings, limitations, and treatment issues are discussed.
