Resumen
The aim of this study is to investigate interpersonal needs and life satisfaction among
lesbians in rural Spain. Forty in-person interviews were conducted to collect both
survey and interview data. The quantitative results show that life satisfaction is inversely
associated with romantic-emotional loneliness and positively associated with sexual
satisfaction. Qualitative data are used to then elucidate these associations. The findings
highlight the importance of romantic relationships in the lives of rural lesbians who live
in communities that lack organized support for sexual minorities. Increased visibility
might help them to better fulfil some of their interpersonal needs.
