title: The relationship between traditional and innovative sex-role adaptations and innovative sex-role adaptations and sexual satisfaction among a homogeneous sample of middle-aged Caucasian women.
abstract: This paper examines sexual experiences and satisfaction among a homogeneous sample of middle-aged, middle and upper socioeconomic status, Caucasian women. The hypothesis that women who occupy more traditional social roles on the traditional-innovative continuum would have greater sexual satisfaction is rejected. Relationships among a variety of indicators of sexual satisfaction and position on the innovative-traditional continuum indicated lack of consistent directionality or strong associations. Voluntary association memberships serendipitously emerged as a relatively strong indicator of social activities related to sexual satisfaction.
