Este trabalho tem como objectivos identificar predictores da satisfação sexual,
estudando a sua relação com factores sócio-demográficos e comportamentos sexuais,
e analisando respectivas diferenças de género. Estuda ainda em que medida a
satisfação sexual contribui noutras áreas da vida em homens e mulheres. Foi realizado
com uma amostra de 138 homens entre os 18 e os 57 anos e 271 mulheres entre os
18 e os 59 anos, que participaram no estudo através de um questionário de autoresposta
alojado num site na Internet, e divulgado por e-mail e em blogs.
Foram encontradas diferenças significativas face à satisfação sexual nas
variáveis “relação de compromisso”, “frequência de relações sexuais”, “importância
das relações sexuais”, “dificuldades sexuais”, “satisfação com a frequência de relações
sexuais”, “duração da relação de compromisso” e “orgasmo nas relações sexuais” (as
duas últimas apenas nas mulheres). Foram encontradas correlações significativas,
fracas/moderadas, nas variáveis “habilitações literárias”, “relação de compromisso”,
“frequência de relações sexuais”, “orgasmo nas relações sexuais”, “importância das
relações sexuais”, para ambos os géneros e na “importância do orgasmo” e “orgasmo
na masturbação” apenas nos homens. Houve algumas diferenças significativas nos
factores que homens e mulheres escolheram como importantes para a sua satisfação
sexual e como contributos da sua satisfação sexual, no entanto escolheram o mesmo
número de factores pessoais e relacionais, não havendo diferenças neste aspecto.
