What exactly does a satisfying sex life look like? We’re sure you have your personal assessments — and that’s great. But, in case you’re interested, sex and relationship researchers have developed various tools to measure just how sexually satisfied a person is. They can offer some important insights — and help you reach new levels of intimacy.

Now, it's difficult to create any one set of questions or signs of a good sex life that will apply to everyone. There isn’t any definition of “satisfying sex”; what’s satisfying to one person may not be satisfying to another. It’s all about what feels good for each individual and what matters most to them. However, to get you thinking about how you feel about your sex life, there are some signs to know. Is there a balance? Is there comfort? Is there acceptance? These and other questions may not fully capture what satisfaction looks like for everyone, but they’ll help guide you toward the most fulfilling sex life. And who doesn’t want that?
