Sexuality is also crucial for good partnership and an important part of the human life cycle [3-5]. Sexual orientation is a predisposing characteristic of a person who is sexually attracted to persons of the same and/or opposite sex. Sexual orientation refers to the gender to which a person is emotionally, physically, sexually, and romantically attracted. It is primarily assessed through personal evaluation and reporting of whether one is attracted to a man or ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received: December 06, 2021 Published: December 14, 2021 Citation: Andrej Starc, Slađana Sladojivić, Raja Dahmane Gošnak.

Keywords: Sexuality; Sexual Intercourse; Sexual Satisfaction; Sexual Interaction; Sexual Response The aim of the study was to determine sexual satisfaction in the Slovenian population using a newly modified questionnaire. The study was conducted by online survey and included 474 adults of both sexes. The analysis showed that previous experience with more sexual partners (F=2.990; p=0.007), a higher number of monthly intercourse and orgasms before (F=19.405, p= 0.001) and during sexual intercourse (F=15.277; p=0.001), were associated with better sexual satisfaction. The same was observed for the number of orgasms per month and mood before (F=14.252; p=0.001), mood during (F=28.758; p=0.001), partner’s mood during intercourse (F=9.321; p=0.001), balance during sexual contact/activity (F=9.742; p=0.001), and mood after sexual activity (F=11.396; p=0.001). In our study, participants without children were the most satisfied with their sex lives, followed by participants with only one or two children. There were statistically significant correlations between participants who had no children and mood before, during, and after sexual intercourse, partner mood during and after sexual intercourse (both p=0.001), and mood after sexual activity (p=0.013). Younger age from 21 to 30 years was significantly associated with mood before, during and after sexual intercourse (p=0.001 for each). Accordingly, for older participants, the quality - rather than quantity - of sexual encounters was a more important predictor of higher sexual satisfaction. In our study, we did not specifically measure quality per se, but attempted to estimate quality based on pleasure, number of sexual encounters, and orgasms. This could be the reason why younger participants experience better sexual satisfaction than participants in older age groups. By measuring sexual satisfaction using mood pillow ratings, the questionnaire is a suitable tool for further evaluation and for a larger sample to obtain additional data on factors that might influence sexual satisfaction.
