Syslová, Michaela ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Popper, Miroslav (referee)
1 Abstract Consensual non-monogamy (CNM) refers to relationships in which all partners agree that they can have sexual or romantic relationships with other people. This paper presents the most common forms of CNM (polyamory, swinging or open relationships), the ways in which they are established, the specific benefits and challenges, factors influencing the willingness to establish them, and social perceptions and their impact on these relationships. The aim of the research was to explore selected individual factors related to the willingness to establish CNM relationships. Specifically, we focused on attitudes towards CNM, previous partner experiences and primary family experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 11 participants who were involved in CNM relationships with two or more partners. Thematic analysis revealed that respondents perceived CNM relationships as freer and more natural, but at the same time emphasized responsibility and higher communication demands than in monogamous relationships. The majority of respondents had an experience of monogamy prior to CNM that influenced their current relationships. Reasons for entering into a CNM relationship included falling in love with another person, need for freedom, independence, physical intimacy, satisfaction of needs,...

Dobrá, Veronika ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bosman, Dita (referee)
Attachment plays a significant role in partner relationships. It can enter into their establishment, maintenance and break-up. Since a partner relationship is usually made up of two individuals, it is important to take into account the type of attachment of both the individual and his or her partner, as well as the mutual similarity of the partners. The aim of this paper is to present the current state of knowledge on the influence of actor-partner attachment and their similarity on self-disclosure and satisfaction in partner relationships. The first chapter introduces the concept of attachment, specifically its types, ontogeny, and role in partner relationships. The second chapter is devoted to assortative matching, particularly partner similarity in selected characteristics with an emphasis on attachment, and the possible effects of the degree of partner similarity on the quality of their relationship. The following chapter presents the relationship between attachment and partner relationship satisfaction. The fourth chapter presents the state of current knowledge regarding attachment and self-disclosure. The purpose of the proposed research is to test the relative importance of an individual's attachment, his or her partner's attachment, and the mutual similarity in attachment between the two...

Prevalence of sexual myths among Czechs
Konečná, Marie ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
Sex myths are exaggerated and not scientifically proven statements that people tend to believe. Often, they are incomplete, unreliable and outdated statements that spread misunderstandings and disinformation. The present work examines to what extent the Czech public agrees with certain statements, out of which a majority is related to sex myths, in a newly created questionnaire. The sample consisted of 503 men and women within the age range of 18-77 years. The aim was to understand how the tendency to agree with the statements of the questionnaire differs in relation to demographic information and what is the link between one's belief in sex myths, satisfaction with one's sex life, frequency of masturbation and the number of casual sex partners. The analysis revealed that men tend to believe the sex myths more than women and religious individuals more than atheists. Furthermore, individuals with a lower education attainment also show a higher degree of belief in sex myths. In addition to that, it was discovered that belief in sex myths is positively related to frequency of masturbation and negatively related to the number of casual sex partners. Elimination of sex myths is possible via targeted programmes and education within therapeutical approaches. Keywords sexual myth, orgasm, masturbation;...
