However, there is a lack of research on what determines sexual satisfaction among non-working married women in India. This gap hinders our understanding of how traditional gender roles, economic dependence and cultural norms affect the sexual well-being of this group. This study aims to explore the factors associated with sexual satisfaction among non-working married women in Bengaluru, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 180 non-working married women. Data were collected using the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale, the Psychological Distress Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale and a self-prepared questionnaire on various factors related to sexual satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used to analyse the data. Results: Factors significantly associated with non-working womens sexual satisfaction include physical factors (menstrual health difficulties, reproductive health issues and urogenital problems), psychological factors (psychological distress and subjective happiness) and socio-cultural factors (education, knowledge of sexual health at the time of marriage, type of marriage, age, age difference between couples and duration of marital life). Family-related factors (type of family, family pressure for children and exhausting household work) and couple-related characteristics (spouses smoking/drinking patterns and relationship with the spouse) were also significant. Together, these factors explained 78.6% of the variability in sexual satisfaction among non-working married women. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for health interventions to promote healthy lifestyles and suggest changes in sexual health practices. They also indicate the need for training health professionals to address the sexual health aspects of women. Further longitudinal studies with larger samples are required to better understand the relationship between these predictors and sexual satisfaction. 2025 The Author(s).
