Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between religiosity, religious affiliation, and adult sexual satisfaction through a sociological perspective. Employing quantitative methodologies, this study explores the comprehensive analysis of how religiosity and affiliations during both adolescence and adulthood shape adults’ reported sexual satisfaction. Findings indicate that adolescents who identified with a religious affiliation later had significantly lower sexual satisfaction compared to their Atheist, Agnostic, and nonaffiliated peers. This study also found that high importance of faith during adolescence significantly predicts higher levels of adult sexual satisfaction. This study explores nuanced gender dynamics, finding a positive link between the importance of faith during adolescence and female sexual satisfaction. These findings underscore the complexity of sociocultural factors in shaping adult sexual satisfaction, necessitating further exploration and understanding within the sociological paradigm.
