We predicted that both sending and receiving dimensions of communication apprehension would be negatively associated with sexual communication satisfaction and would be more strongly associated for women than for men. A significant negative association was discovered and was more strongly and meaningfully related for women than for men. Moreover, the association was not significant for men.
