The study of sexual satisfaction in Spain is scarce and has proceeded atheoretically. This study aimed at examining sexual satisfaction in 197 Spanish heterosexual couples based on the Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction. Men and women reported equal satisfaction. Men's sexual satisfaction was predicted by their own relationship satisfaction, balance of sexual rewards and costs, and comparison level of sexual rewards and costs. Women's sexual satisfaction was predicted by their own relationship satisfaction, balance of sexual rewards and costs, comparison level of sexual rewards and costs, equality of sexual costs, and their partner's balance of sexual rewards and costs. These results provide with a better understanding of the mechanisms that explain sexual satisfaction in Spanish couples. Implications for research and therapy are discussed.

Recently, research on homophobic bullying has increased. School is a relevant environment in which many bullying experiences take place. This study provides a systematic literature review that examines homophobic bullying at schools by collecting information about its prevalence, schoolrelated predictors and consequences. We considered documents that focused on the study of homophobic bullying in the school context, and provided empirical information on the prevalence, frequency of homophobic bullying or the analysis of some school-related predictor factors or consequences. Ninety documents met the criteria and were, therefore, reviewed. Most studies used samples of adolescents. Their design was based on quantitative methodologies, and they mostly focused on the prevalence and school-related protective and risk factors, such as peer group and social support, followed by school belonging. Some consequences of homophobic bullying are negative academic outcomes, truancy and school belonging. The findings from these studies also provide information about useful strategies, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators. This review may better guide prevention in the education field.

Sexual satisfaction is a key factor in sexual health and has been associated with quality of life. However, few studies have focused on the factors related to sexual satisfaction in the population in Spain. The main goal of this research was to analyze the predictive capacity of an ecological model for the study of sexual satisfaction in a Spanish sample of 723 men and 851 women, with mean age equal to 36.28 (SD = 12.59) and who were in a heterosexual relationship. We analyzed, using structural equation modeling, the degree to which sexual satisfaction was related to different variables. These variables were the following: personal variables (depression and sexual attitudes); interpersonal variables (relationship satisfaction, sexual function, and sexual assertiveness); social variables (social support, parenthood, and annual income); and cultural variables (political ideology, religion, and religious practice). In men, sexual satisfaction was directly predicted by relationship satisfaction and sexual function. Furthermore, political ideology, religious practice, social support, annual income, initiation sexual assertiveness, and sexual attitudes were indirectly associated with sexual satisfaction. In women, sexual satisfaction was directly predicted by relationship satisfaction, sexual function, sexual assertiveness, and sexual attitudes. In addition, political ideology, religious practice, and social support were indirectly associated with sexual satisfaction. Implications for research and therapy are also discussed.
