Sexual satisfaction is a broad construct closely linked to overall relationship satisfaction. Numerous studies have found that sexual satisfaction is positively associated with indicators of relationship quality such as love, commitment, and stability, and is inversely related to likelihood of divorce. Many factors have been discussed as contributing to a woman’s sense of sexual satisfaction. These include social factors such as age, marital status, and income level; personality/affective factors such as self-esteem, sexual guilt, selfishness, empathy, irritability, and anger and background variables such as physical affection, positive sexual attitudes in the family of origin, and sexual education.
