RESUMEN
Background: Religious values and attitudes can be considered as a guideline for sexual relationship and gender related roles
Objectives: The current study aimed at investigating the relationship between religious attitudes, and some sexual characteristics with marital satisfaction among females of reproductive age in 2014 2015
Methods: The current descriptive-analytical study investigated the relationship between religious attitudes and some sexual characteristics, and marital satisfaction on 210 females of reproductive age. Firstly, cluster sampling was conducted. The sexual trait questionnaire and religious attitude scale, which contains 25 questions in 6 areas related to the religious attitudes, were distributed. Sexual trait questionnaire includes questions on pre-sex motivations, premature ejaculation, young couple's education, couples' intimate relationships, and finally couples' satisfaction. Chi-square test was applied to analyze the data, using SPSS software
Results: The mean age of the study population was 30.35 +/- 7.52 years. According to the Chi-square result, there was a significant relationship between religious attitudes and pre-sex motivations [P = 0.001], young couples` education [P = 0.005], couples' intimate relationships [P = 0.002], and couples' satisfaction [P = 0.001]. However, there was no significant association between early ejaculation and religious attitude [P = 0.11]
Conclusions: The results revealed a significant relationship between religious attitudes and pre-sex motivation, sexuality, and sexual arousal. Therefore, education on sex-based issues and couples' intimate relationships, which leads to decreased premature ejaculation and more sexual satisfaction, seem to be necessary. The results of the current study showed a significant relationship between religious attitudes, sexuality and sexual arousal. Also, the need for sex education and emotional intimacy between male and female are necessary to reduce premature ejaculation and enhance sexual satisfaction
