“…The significant improvement in sexual function following PRT is consistent with previous reports indicating that physical exercise can improve female sexual function [44]. It is worth to highlight that PCOS-mediating factors, such as higher BMI [45], and psychologic distress such as depression, may be associated with lower sexual satisfaction levels [46] and higher percentage of anorgasmia among PCOS women [12,47]. Thus, our data of changes in sexual functioning after PRT may be also related to the reduction of anxiety and depression scores indicating an improvement of the psychologic aspect of PCOS women.…”

Introduction There is a need for specific measures to address overall care in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Physical resistance training (PRT) has been shown to improve certain body parameters. However, the effect of PRT on the sexual function of PCOS women has not been evaluated. Aim The study aimed to assess sexual function and emotional status of PCOS women after 16 weeks of PRT. Methods This case-control study involved 43 women with PCOS and 51 control ovulatory women, aged 18–37 years. All women were subjected to a supervised PRT protocol for 16 weeks and evaluated at the end of the program. Sexual function was assessed at baseline and after PRT protocol. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measure used was the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Results Of the 43 women with PCOS, 30 (69.70%) had a basal total FSFI score ≤ 26.55 and 24 of them (58.54%) had a score ≤ 26.55 after PRT (P = 0.08). Of the 51 control women, 32 (62.7%) and 27 (52.9%) had FSFI scores < 26.55 at baseline and after PRT, respectively (P = 0.06). Control women experienced a significant improvement in pain domain score after PRT (P < 0.03). PCOS women experienced significant increases in total score and in the desire, excitement and lubrication domains after PRT (P < 0.01 each). After PRT, there was a significant difference between the PCOS and control groups in the sexual desire domain (4.09 ± 1.29 vs. 3.75 ± 1.42, P = 0.04). Significantly fewer women in the PCOS group were at risk of depression (P < 0.01) and anxiety (P < 0.02) after than before PRT, whereas the differences in the control group were not significant. Mean depression and anxiety scores were reduced significantly in both the PCOS (P < 0.01 each) and control (P < 0.01) groups. Conclusions PRT significantly enhanced total score and the desire, excitement, and lubrication domains of the FSFI in PCOS women. PRT reduced pain, and total depression and anxiety scores in both groups.

“…Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, arthritis and fatigue have been implicated as the core of physical health problems affecting sexual satisfaction (DeLamater et al, 2008;Field et al, 2013;Syme et al, 2013). Similar empirical support has been obtained for the importance of mental health problems, particularly those related to depression and anti-depressant medication use (Dundon & Rellini, 2010;Kim & Jeon, 2013;McCall-Hosenfeld et al, 2008;Scott et al, 2012;Thompson et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2014). Finally, moderate to strong associations between sexual satisfaction and well-being, and sexual health disorders or impaired sexual function (Ratner, Erekson, Minkin, & Foran-Tuller, 2011) have been consistently observed (Heiman et al, 2011;Laumann et al, 2006;Traeen & Schaller, 2010).…”

“…However, some studies, have failed to replicate these finding, pointing to the importance of studying both biological and sociocultural mechanisms underlying the negative association between age and sexual satisfaction (Neto & Pinto, 2012;Thompson et al, 2011). Another consistent finding is that aging men report higher ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 15 levels of sexual satisfaction and sexual well-being than aging women (Kim & Jeon, 2013;Laumann et al, 2006;McFarland et al, 2011;Traeen & Schaller, 2010).…”

“…Sexual satisfaction has been associated with relationship quality and satisfaction, psychological health, general sense of well-being, happiness and the quality of life (Chao et al, 2011;Dundon & Rellini, 2010;Wang et al, 2014;Zarpellon Mazo & Cardoso, 2011). The fact that frequency of sexual contact is highly relevant for sexual satisfaction (Heiman et al, 2011;Kim & Jeon, 2013 …”

Aim: the aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the literature published 2005-2015 on sexual satisfaction and body image in older adults. Method:A narrative literature search using the PsycINFO database was conducted.Results: Although women in general seem less satisfied with their bodies than men, particularly in sexual contexts, older women appear to be less vulnerable to body-related dissatisfaction than younger women. Despite the age-specific dynamics of sexual satisfaction and sexual well-being, which parallel age-related decrease in the frequency of sexual activity, research findings from ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 different countries show that substantial proportions of aging men and women are satisfied with their sex life. There is some limited evidence that this proportion may be increasing across cohorts. Gender differences in factors that influence sexual satisfaction among older adults appear marginal. Conclusion:Older age can affect sexual satisfaction on individual, interpersonal, and culturerelated levels. Future research in older adults' sexuality should focus on sexual well-being in women who are without partners, sexual satisfaction among aging LGBT individuals and couples, the relationship between religiosity and sexual satisfaction, and employ a comparative, cross-cultural approach.
