Abstract :
This research aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual dialogue and the sexual performance of married women in Shiraz in the year 1402 (Shamsi). Our statistical population was married women living in Shiraz who had experienced sexual intercourse within the past six months. From this population, 200 people were selected using convenience sampling and responded to the questionnaires. Data were collected using the Sexual Relationship Pattern questionnaire, the Arizona sexual experience scale questionnaire (women's form), and a demographic questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson's correlation coefficient test in SPSS software. The results showed a significant positive relationship between sexual conversation and sexual performance. It can be explained that among women who had more sexual dialogue, there was greater satisfaction in their sexual performance.
