Abstract

Introduction Sexual satisfaction is an essential construct in the study of human sexuality Objective The aim of the present study was to validate the Portuguese version of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale–Short (NSSS‐S), a short form scale that assesses sexual satisfaction among men and women. Material and methods A total of 298 participants completed the Portuguese version of the NSSS‐S. Results The main psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the NSSS‐S were assessed, most importantly the two‐factor structure and Cronbach's alpha (≥ 0.89). Discussion The NSSS‐S revealed the bidimensional structure of the original NSSS and good values were obtained in terms of internal consistency, convergent validity, divergent validity and concurrent validity. Conclusions The use of the Portuguese version of the NSSS‐S is justified and reinforced since it has sound psychometric properties.
