The Impact of Sexual Esteem and Sexual Conscious on Sexual Satisfaction in Married People

Various studies have shown that the origin of many marital conflicts is in inadequacy of sexual relations. The main objective of this study is to determine the relationship between sexual esteem and sexual conscious with sexual satisfaction. 200 married students fulfilled theMultidimensional Sexuality Questionnaire (MSQ) and sexual satisfaction of Larson. The average correlation coefficients between sexual esteem and sexual conscious with sexual satisfaction were obtained (respectively to 0.47 and 0.48). The results of multivariate regression showed that the components of sexual esteem and sexual conscious have determined about 29.6% of variance in sexual satisfaction. It seems that evaluation of sexual issues is required for marital treatments and the variables should be considered seriously in therapeutic interventions.
