Abstract: While there is literature on family life satisfaction for married Chinese, there are few studies concerning marital sexual life satisfaction. Using data from the 1993 China Housing Survey conducted in the two major metropolitan cities of Shanghai and Tianjin, this study explores factors that are associated with sexual satisfaction of married urban Chinese. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is employed to estimate the effects of family relationships, socioeconomic status, division of house labor, and demographic characteristics on sexual satisfaction. Differences in sexual satisfaction among married men and women are also examined. The results show that family relationships and sexual satisfaction are closely correlated throughout all models. Socioeconomic status and division of house labor are partially correlated. Demographic-related characteristics, however, have little influence on sexual satisfaction. The correlations with sexual satisfaction between married men and women show more similarity than disparity.
