Human’s feeling and thinking, learning and language, and many other resources achieve human biological responses and accumulate the life experience [1]. Sex includes the physical body and psychological personality. Sexual satisfaction is the reaction of individual emotion. This response comes from the assessment of the positive and negative subjectivity of the individual in the sexual relationship, which includes: the satisfied degree of the sexual attitude, sexual relationship and sexual desire [2].
