Sexual satisfaction refers to the fulfillment individuals experience regarding their sexual lives and activities. Sexual satisfaction can have lasting impact on relationship quality and satisfaction. The Sexual Satisfaction index is a tool designed to evaluate sexual satisfaction within a romantic relationship.

This scale provides a comprehensive measure of an individual's sexual satisfaction, helping to identify strengths and areas for improvement within the relationship. The scale helps to gauge the dynamics of physical pleasure, intimacy and overall sexual satisfaction.
