Sexual satisfaction is often shrouded in secrecy, but Psychology Today’s new Sexual Satisfaction Test aims to demystify how our sex lives measure up. This free, three-minute assessment evaluates your contentment through 20 statements like “Sex feels like a chore” or “Foreplay is a big part of my sex life,” generating a score from 0 to 100. The average score? 63. Below, we break down what your results mean—and how to improve them.
Decoding Your Score
- 0–18 (Very Low Satisfaction): Persistent dissatisfaction may signal deeper relationship struggles. Prioritize bonding and communication.
- 19–39 (Low Satisfaction): Focus on resolving conflicts and carving out quality time for intimacy.
- 40–62 (Average): You’re in the middle—room for growth but not a red flag.
- 63–81 (High Satisfaction): Above average; keep nurturing your connection.
- 82–100 (Very High): Celebrate and maintain your fulfilling sex life!

Why Test Matters
Low desire affects everyone, but solutions exist. “Addressing conflict, sharing affection, and making time for intimacy can reignite passion,” say experts. The test highlights patterns, guiding couples to actionable steps.
3 Expert Tips to Boost Your Score
- Talk Openly: Exchange feedback without blame. Ask, “How do you feel about our intimacy?”
- Pause and Reconnect: If sex feels routine, take a break. Try non-sexual activities like walks or yoga to rebuild emotional bonds.
- Share Desires: Discuss fantasies openly. “Losing initial spark is normal—don’t pathologize it,” researchers note.
