The role of sexual satisfaction in adolescents and young adults’ mental health has not
been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this work is to study di erences in sexual satisfaction and
mental health (anxiety and depression) based on romantic relationship status (having a partner vs.
not having one) and gender. Likewise, the association between sexual satisfaction and mental health
and the moderating e ect of romantic relationship status and gender was addressed in this research.
A total of 1682 Spanish adolescents (14–17) and young adults (18–29) agreed to participate in this
cross-sectional investigation. Two-factor ANOVA and MANOVA, and hierarchical regression models
were utilized in this study. In general, results showed more di culties in sexual satisfaction and
mental health for those not in a current relationship and for women. Additionally, higher levels of
sexual satisfaction was associated with lower levels of anxiety for adolescents and lower levels of
depression for young adults. These associations were stronger for those in a current relationship.
This study highlights the importance of sexual satisfaction as a modifying factor against mental health
problems, especially in the context of a current romantic relationship.
