Assessment of Self-report on Sexual Life of Married Reproductive-age Women in Iran

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the sexual function and behaviors of married reproductive-age women following a cross-sectional research done on 397 women referred to the clinics of health centers of Medical Science University of Jahrom. The average age of women was 30.94 +/- 7.01. The data collection was done by the conventional method using the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire. The vaginal sex was the most prevalent kind of sex among women, whereas 35% and 27.5% of the women experienced oral and anal sex, respectively. In a comparison of domains of sexual function between two groups who experienced vaginal and non-vaginal sex, there was no meaningful statistic relationship between them. There was a statistical relationship between the request for non-vaginal sexual behaviors and their acceptance by the women. About 75.3% of the women were having sexual dysfunction. The most prevalent dysfunction was related to the lack of orgasm (72.3%) which is very high. The proper strategy is required for Iranian women to get rid of it.
