“…Notably, several Brazilian studies show that female obesity and overweight are related poorer sexual function (Ferraresi, Lara, Reis, & Rosa e Silva, 2013;Martins e Silva, Rego, Galvao, Florencio, & Cavalcante, 2013;Ribeiro et al, 2014;Zueff, Lara, Vieira, Martins Wde, & Ferriani, 2015), which argues against a cultural difference in Brazil. With one single exception, none of these research findings are cited by Lara et al, and the only finding given in support of a direct relation between coital frequency and obesity is a study with Swedish 70-year-olds (Beckman, Waern, Ostling, Sundh, & Skoog, 2014), the findings of which are likely not generalizable to younger ages.…”
