According to eysenck's definition, personality is the individual's unique adaptation to the environment. This process refers to the organization of the individual in terms of character, cognitive, physical and emotional. Some theorists say that emotions and behaviors affect personality traits. Individuals' sexual life and satisfaction from it are effective in the continuation of relationships. While sexual life represents the most intimate and private area of men and women; It also includes themes such as happiness, satisfaction, pleasure and success. As in many areas, the mutual expectations of partners and how much they can meet these expectations in sexual life significantly affect the course of the relationship.
