Description

In the era of pure relationships and morally permissive individualism (Giddens, 1993; Halman, 1996), sexual satisfaction has become an essential element of individual well-being. Abundant empirical evidence attests to this, especially within the sex therapy literature (Heiman & LoPiccolo, 1988; Zilbergeld, 1992), as well as research into relationship and marital quality and stability (Byers, 2005; Byers, Demmons, & Lawrance, 1998; Christopher & Sprecher, 2000; Young, Young, & Luquis, 2000). A number of studies have reported associations between sexual satisfaction and gender (Carpenter, Nathanson, & Kim, 2007; Stulhofer, Zelenbrz, Landripet et al., 2004), age (Carpenter et al., 2009; Young et al., 2000), income (Christopher & Sprecher, 2000), and religiosity (Young et al., 2000), as well as with various sexual and non-sexual aspects of relationships (Bancroft, Loftus, & Long, 2003; Byers, 2005; Henderson-King & Veroff, 1994; Pedersen & Blekesaune, 2003; Young et al., 2000). Sexual satisfaction has been found to be positively correlated with frequency of sexual activity (Hurlbert & Apt, 1994; Stulhofer, Gregurovic, & Stulhofer, 2003; Young & Luquis, 1998), frequency and consistency of orgasm (Darling, Davidson, & Cox, 1991; Darling, Davidson, & Jennings, 1991; Hurlbert & Apt, 1994; Pinney, Gerrard, & Denney, 1987), as well as level of intimacy (Byers & Demmons, 1999; Moret, Glaser, Page, & Bergeron, 1998) and partner communication (Gossman, Juliene, Mathieu, & Chartrand, 2003; Stulhofer et al., 2004). Sexual satisfaction also appears to be affected by a variety of both microlevel and macrolevel phenomena-from anxiety and avoidance (Butzer & Campbell, 2008), to female assertiveness (Whitley & Poulsen, 1975), as well as broader cultural factors (Ah Song, Bergen, & Schumm, 1995; Carpenter et al., 2009). In the fields of sexual medicine and sexual psychotherapy, assessment of sexual satisfaction is used as one of the standard indicators of sexual health disturbances. Thus, items measuring overall sexual satisfaction and contentment are often included in composite measures of sexual dysfunction (cf. Taylor, Rosen, & Leiblum, 1994; see also Rosen, Cappelleri, Smith, Lipsky, & Pena, 1999).
