description | Sexual satisfaction is the affective and emotional response arising from the evaluation of personal sexual interactions and the perception of the consummation of erotic desire. Marital satisfaction, defined as the attitude towards marital interaction and the emotional and structural aspects of the couple, is considered one of the strongest predictors of sexual satisfaction. There are other variables that may intervene in the sexual and marital satisfaction of women. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of age, and the variety of sexual and affective practices, on sexual and marital satisfaction of women with a stable partner. The sample consists of 600 women between the ages of 18 and 60 (M = 31.57; SD = 9.14) who, regardless of their sexual orientation, maintain a stable relationship with a duration of two or more years. The Sexual Satisfaction Scale, the Marital Satisfaction Scale and a sexual practices inventory were applied to all of them. An inverse relationship with age is observed, with the younger age group presenting significantly higher scores in the “Communication” Factor of the Sexual Satisfaction Scale, as well as in the Marital Satisfaction Scale. It was also has been found that a greater variety of sexual and affective practices, both during and after sexual intercourse, is related to a greater sexual satisfaction. Finally, marital satisfaction is directly related to sexual satisfaction. Young women with a wide variety of sexual and affective practices have greater sexual and marital satisfaction. The complexity of the study suggests the need for multicausal models on the variable involved in female sexual satisfaction. |
