Objectives:
To explore the relationship between experiences of stigma and sexual activity and sexual well-being among sober individuals.
Methods:
Two-hundred and thirty-eight sexually active, sober adults reported on their sobriety length, experiences of sobriety stigma, sexual activity, and sexual well-being.
Results:
Sobriety length was not related to either outcome. However, sobriety stigma was negatively related to sexual activity and sexual well-being.
Conclusion:
Sobriety stigma has implications not only for relapse prevention, but also for sexual health and well-being interventions. Efforts to reduce stigma among sober individuals may lead to more successful sexual health and well-being promotion initiatives.
