Background: sexuality is a central characteristic of the individual and essential for the couple's intimate relationship, functioning as an attribute of marital satisfaction, an area of attention of family health nursing. The perception of marital satisfaction by the members of the couple seems to be influenced by satisfaction with the pattern of sexuality. Objective: to identify the sexuality factors that influence the marital satisfaction of couples without sexual dysfunctions and whose members are healthy. Methodology: Scoping review, following the mnemonic P (participants), C (concept) and C (context) recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. It was considering the temporal space between 2017 and 2021 and the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Results: fourteen articles were analyzed and the following factors were identified: sexual self-disclosure, sexual communication, attachment, cohabitation, dating time, watching explicit content of sexual activity, sexual desire discrepancy, intrinsic and extrinsic sexual motivation, motivation to meet needs of the partner and sensitivity to sexual aversion. Conclusion: The identification of factors related to sexuality that influence marital satisfaction allowed cataloging essential domains that promote marital satisfaction. New reviews for each domain of factors will make it possible to deepen the theme, aiming to contribute to the development of family health nursing.
