title: Adaptation of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short Form Into Spanish.
abstract: Measuring and understanding sexual satisfaction is a key element in the evaluation of sexual health and the human sexual response. This study sought to adapt and validate the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short Form from English into the Spanish language. A four-sample (two community samples, one LGB sample, and one university sample) study of 1,200 participants was completed in Spain between 2012-2014. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the adapted version satisfactorily meets validation requirements. In posterior analyses, relationship stability and sexual orientation were factors that increased sexual satisfaction. Self-identified lesbian participants were more sexually satisfied than their heterosexual counterparts. Stable relationships appeared to be a factor for increased sexual satisfaction while age was not. Age and sexual identity/gender did not influence sexual satisfaction.
