Predictive Variables of Sexual Satisfaction
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Sexual fantasies are defined as any erotic image or sexual thought of a person when he/she is awake. It may be an elaborated story or a transient thought about a sexual activity (Hicks & Leitenberg, 2001). Previous researches showed that sexual fantasies can be found in most people (more than 95% of the population) and they represent an integrating part of human sexuality (Leitenberg & Henning, 1995). Objectives: In this research we aimed to underline the predictive role in the context of using sexual stimuli in sexual satisfaction, to underline an existing relation between sexual satisfaction and sexual fantasies in the context of controlling the covariant variables: relationship duration and religion. Methods: Sexual behavior scale, sexual fantasy scale, anamnesis, sexual satisfaction scale. Results: The obtained results show that the use of sexual stimuli represents a significant predictor for sexual satisfaction, while a high level of religiosity represents an inhibitor for sexual fantasies. Moreover, a longer relationship and the use of sexual fantasies have a significant effect upon sexual satisfaction. Conclusions: In general, the results obtained suggest the fact that subjects are happier with their sexual life when they use a series of sexual stimuli. In this study, religiosity seems to be a predictor for sexual satisfaction in the context of neutralizing the sexual fantasies, although the results of other researches on this topic are contradictory.
