Human sexuality, sexual expression, and expectations related to sexuality vary tremendously from person to person and across cultures. Therefore, the best indication of satisfactory treatment is that the patient is satisfied with what has been achieved. In this instance, "Patient reports satisfaction with sexual encounters; feels partner is supportive" best indicates that the patient is satisfied, and both presenting issues are progressing in a positive manner. Achieving orgasm once or occasionally may or may not represent satisfactory progress to the patient. "No complaints" does not necessarily mean that satisfaction exists.
