N2 - Sexual satisfaction is an important component of sexual health. There are few proposed conceptual definitions of sexual satisfaction and operational definitions are significantly limited. Those that exist were developed with heterosexual people. In this study, we performed thematic analysis on 60 Portuguese, partnered, sexual-minority people’s written answers to the question: “How would you define sexual satisfaction?” The results revealed a sex positive definition that includes intersecting individual and dyadic dimensions with social discourses relating to sexual minority identity and dominant patterns of relationships and sexuality. Findings highlight the need to consider LGB specific experiences in both research and clinical work.
