Abstract

Sexual self-disclosure is one of the most intimate self-disclosure, but the content is culturally stigmatized as a taboo to be communicated in a public area. Sexual self-disclosure is common in the romantic relationship context, and believed to be related with relationship satisfaction. This systematic review examined existing research to compare offline and online sexual self-disclosure. The aim of this review was to compare the theoretical background, pattern, role, antecedent factors and outcome of sexual self-disclosure between offline and online situation. Although there are significant differences between offline and online pattern of sexual self-disclosure, both may be used as an intrumental tools for maintaining the relationship and in turn lead to relationship satisfaction. Compared with men, women are more restrained to discuss sexual topics in both situations, perhaps due to cultural influence. In online context, sexual self-disclosure also have strong relationship with offline sexual risk behaviour.
