Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes psychosocial and sociocultural correlates of women's sexual health and satisfaction, as well as the relationship between sexual orientation and sexual health and satisfaction. Our respondents were 547 women from Zagreb, between 20 and 60 years of age, who filled in and posted a questionnaire on women's sexual health based on the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women. As expected, the correlation between sexual satisfaction and sexual health was confirmed. (The most frequently reported sexual problems in our community sample were hypoactive sexual desire and difficulties in reaching orgasm.) Age, intimate aspects of the relation (especially partner's satisfaction) and sexual performance (frequency of sexual contacts and orgasmic efficiency) proved to be the significant predictors of sexual satisfaction.
