Sažetak

Background: This paper reports on some factors correlated with sexual satisfaction and on differences between female and male
university students.
Subjects and methods: A convenience sample of 174 female and 74 male Slovene undergraduate university students was studied.
Results: It has been found that an increased frequency of sexual interaction and agreeableness in sexual interactions increase
sexual satisfaction, while a desired frequency of sexual interactions and estimation of a partner’s agreeableness in sexual
interactions decrease sexual satisfaction. Sex was not found to be an important predictor of sexual satisfaction.
Male students’ agreeableness in sexual interaction is significantly higher than that of female students. Male students are
significantly more conservative in their attitudes towards abortion and concerning sexual myths. Female students are less satisfied
with their sexual life than their male colleagues.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of the study demonstrate that there are some differences in problems with sexuality
between both sexes. Female students are in general more dissatisfied. On the basis of the findings of the present research it should be possible to plan interventions for increasing satisfaction with sexuality, specifically for each gender.
