Why do women have sexual relationships with their partners when they really do not want it?

Abstract

Many women have sexual relations with their partners but doing behaviors that they don’t like and with a frequency that they really don’t want; they feel the obligation to do it and believe that it is self-imposed. Actually, they live in a continuous sexual violence situation, although they don’t perceive it as such. Therefore, in this scientific essay, we expose this reality and expose some of the reasons that influence women to have sex with their partners under duress, again and again, without being aware of the mechanisms and consequences that underlie these events. Among these reasons, we highlight the beliefs that accompany gender roles, specifically the female sexual role, such as, for example, the «conjugal debit» belief.
