Building on Lindau's and Gavrilova's concept of sexually active life expectancy, we examine how including non\u2010partnered sexual behaviors and satisfaction influences sexual life expectancy by gender in France.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We estimate sexually active life expectancy using Sullivan's method, which integrates life table data from the 2023 vital registration with sexual activity prevalence from the CSF\u20102023 French national survey. We also calculate a quality\u2010adjusted sexually active life expectancy that accounts for sexual satisfaction. Finally, we identify sociodemographic and health factors related to having a satisfying sexual activite life among individuals aged 50\u201389.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 20\u201324\u2010year\u2010old man has a sexually active life expectancy of 47.1\u2009years, compared to 44.5\u2009years for a woman. This figure expands to 52.9\u2009years for men and 48.9\u2009years for women when including masturbation. The gender gap narrows when considering sexual satisfaction, with men losing 11\u2009years and women 8\u2009years of sexual life expectancy due to poor sexual satisfaction. Among individuals aged 50\u201389, the gender gap in being sexually active and satisfied narrows from OR\u2009=\u20090.64 [0.57\u20130.72] after adjusting for age to OR\u2009=\u20090.76 [0.67\u20130.87] after further adjustments for partnership status, health, and sociodemographics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study enhances population\u2010level indicators of sexual health by broadening the understanding of sexuality beyond partnered behaviors.
