Results showed a significant positive relationship between unsafe attachment style and sexual function, a significant negative relationship between safe attachment style and sexual function, a significant negative relationship between self-differentiation and sexual function and also a significant positive relationship between education and sexual function. Regression analysis results, using a step-by-step method, showed that predictive variables can predict the sexual function.
