The Modified Inventory of Experiences in Close Relationships (Kamenov and Jelić, 2003) and the New Scale of Sexual Satisfaction (Štulhofer and Buško, 2008) were applied on a convenience sample of 255 male and 257 women using the “snow ball” method. The results indicated a significantly higher level of anxious attachment in women and to significantly higher level of avoidant attachment in men. Both dimensions of attachment are negatively associated with both sexual and relationship satisfaction, whereby the mediating effect of sexual satisfaction between attachment dimension and relationship satisfaction has been established. The avoidance dimension has shown a more pronounced effect on sexual satisfaction in both sexes, while dimension of anxiety had the direct effect only to the relationship satisfaction of women.
