    El objetivo principal del presente estudio teórico fue analizar la relación de la satisfacción sexual con variables asociadas a esta en personas adultas con pareja del mismo sexo. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de investigaciones publicadas que cumplieran con los siguientes criterios de inclusión: (a) evaluasen la satisfacción sexual mediante autoinformes estandarizados o preguntas ad hoc, (b) incluyesen muestras de personas adultas que mantuvieran una relación de pareja del mismo sexo, y (c) relacionasen la satisfacción sexual con variables personales, interpersonales, sociales o ideológico-culturales. Tras una búsqueda bibliográfica a través de diversas bases de datos electrónicas, y una vez realizado un proceso de selección, se presentan los principales resultados de 40 artículos científicos publicados entre 1992 y 2017. Como resultado más relevante cabe destacar que la satisfacción sexual se asoció con variables de cada una de las dimensiones señaladas. Se revelan más asociaciones con variables personales e interpersonales, y en menor medida con las sociales y culturales. Se discute la importancia de futuras investigaciones en satisfacción sexual en personas con pareja del mismo sexo desde la perspectiva de modelos teóricos consolidados, así como la necesidad de estudios psicométricos en población LGBTI.

    The main objective of the present theoretical study was to analyze the relation of sexual satisfaction with variables associated with it in adults with same-sex partners. A systematic review of published research that met the following inclusion criteria was carried out: (a) evaluated sexual satisfaction through standardized self-reports or ad hoc questions, (b) included samples of adults who maintained a samesex relationship, and (c) related sexual satisfaction with personal, interpersonal, social or ideological-cultural variables. After a bibliographic search through various electronic databases, and once a selection process has been carried out, the main results of 40 scientific articles published between 1992 and 2017 are presented. As a most relevant result it should be noted that sexual satisfaction was associated with variables of each of the dimensions indicated. More associations are revealed with personal and interpersonal variables, and to a lesser extent with social and cultural variables. The importance of future research on sexual satisfaction in people with same-sex couple from the perspective of consolidated theoretical models is discussed, as well as the need for psychometric studies in the LGBTI population.
