Mutual pleasure is the key to
achieve sexual satisfaction. Recently, Pascoal and his colleagues conducted an
exploratory survey on 449 women and 311 men with heterosexual and committed exclusive
relationship, asking for their written responses on “How would you define
sexual satisfaction?” The survey offers is the part of sex education. This
study was based on two themes:
Personal sexual well-being- it covered
the individual sexual experience like pleasure, positive feelings, arousal,
sexual openness and orgasm.
Dyadic processes- it emphasised
the relational dimensions like mutuality, romance, expression of feelings,
creativity, acting out desires and frequency of sexual activity.
They concluded that mutual
pleasure is a key component of sexual satisfaction which is the outcome of positive
sexual experiences, not mere the absence of conflict or sexual dysfunction.
The below visual image derived
from “The journal of Sex Research” indicates what most of the individuals look
for to feel satisfied.
