Abstract: Satisfaction in intimate relationship is a significant area of interest for many adults in contemporary society. Some researchers have found that personality and sexual satisfaction determine marital satisfaction. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of recent studies elucidating how personality affects sexual satisfaction differently between genders among unmarried young Chinese adults. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the link between the Big Five personality and sexual satisfaction in this demographic. The researcher collected the data through quantitative research by distributing the questionnaire among young adults in China, with ages between 18-28 years old, and obtained 161 respondents. The data was statistically tested by using the SPSS v29. The findings showed Conscientiousness is the solely personality dimension in Big Five personality that significantly positively correlated with sexual satisfaction, and Conscientiousness does not significantly predict sexual satisfaction for both males and females. The present study provides evidences for the understanding of the relation between personality and sexual satisfaction.
