"Development of sexual assertiveness and its function for human sexuality: a literature review"

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to present a literature review about sexual assertiveness (SA), about factors and life experiences that are associated with its development, and about its function in human sexuality. It was found that demographic variables (e.g., age, education, gender), sexual experiences (e.g., type of partnership, sexual victimization), psychosexual issues (e.g., sexual functioning, body self-esteem, emotion regulation, resourcefulness) and cultural factors (e.g., sexual scripts, gender stereotypes) might positively or negatively contribute to SA. Furthermore, the outcomes of SA for both individuals and intimate relationships are presented. Based on this review, it is concluded that for many individuals, reaching a satisfactory level of SA is still a challenge i.e., Latino women. Finally, recommendations about how to further study SA are presented.
