Sažetak
Understanding variables that predict sexual satisfaction has significant implications for sexual health. Sexual activities create a focus on the body, for both men and women. It is well known that body image (directly or indirectly can affect all stages of sexual response, and this reflects on affective and cognitive evaluation of the sexual relationship.The aim of this cross- sectional study was to closely examine the role of some aspects of body image for sexual satisfaction. A sample of 144 undergraduate female students (from 19 to 31 years of age), who were in a romantic sexual relationship, participated in the study. The participants completed the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale (BASS), Body Image Self- Consciousness Scale (BISC), New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS), and Sexual Behavior Questionnaire. Results indicated that women satisfied with their body appearance and less concerned about their bodily appearance during sexual activities had greater overall sexual satisfaction. Together, body image variables explained significant proportion of sexual satisfaction score variance. Body image self- consciousness during sexual intimacy partly mediated the relation between body image satisfaction and sexual satisfaction, and frequency of sexual behavior partly mediated the relation between body image self- consciousness and sexual satisfaction. To conclude, body image is an important factor contributing to sexual satisfaction in women and should be considered in treatment of low sexual satisfaction.
