Sexual Satisfaction—Where Do You Stand?

While there can be health culprits behind sex life troubles, dissatisfaction between the sheets can be a symptom—or a cause—of issues in other areas of your relationship. Addressing your sex life can make for a more satisfying relationship, and more beautiful body.

Our Sexual Satisfaction Quiz uses the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women (SSW), which measures your (you guessed it) sexual satisfaction and sexual distress, in five areas

• Contentment - how happy you are with your sex life overall
• Communication - how effectively and comfortably you and your partner communicate about sex.
• Compatibility - how well matched you feel with your sexual partner.
• Relational Concern - your level of sexual concern involving you and your partner.
• Personal Concern - your level of sexual concern involving only yourself.

Overall, being sexually satisfied is associated with love, commitment and stability in your relationship. The good news is it doesn’t have to wane with age either. In a Women’s Health Initiative study, 67 percent of 60-somethings were happy with their sex life. It’s even been tied to “successful aging”

Take the Sexual Satisfaction Quiz to see how these aspects of your sex life affect you, and get personalized steps for enhancing your relationship and beauty—from the inside, out.
