Abstract
Mindfulness may help treat sexual dysfunction but there is little evidence regarding mechanisms of action. We tested whether reduced avoidance, distraction, and activation of negative schemas mediated the association between mindfulness and sexual outcomes in men. All factors mediated the link between mindfulness and some aspect of sexual well-being.
