“…Earlier findings have been ambiguous. In a prospective observational study with 365 women, combined oral contraceptives and intrauterine contraceptive device did not have an impact on sexual function while sterilization improved both sexual satisfaction and sexual drive (Li et al, 2004). In contrast McCoy and Matyas (1996) found pill users to have more desire but also less lubrication than nonusers; however, the associations differed depending on the type of pill.…”

The factor structure and reliability of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was evaluated in a Finnish population based sample of 2,081 women, age 33-43 years. In addition, associations between female sexual function and age, psychological distress, alcohol use, hormone based contraceptives, child sexual abuse (CSA), and adult sexual abuse were examined. The results supported a six factor solution for the FSFI with high internal consistencies, in line with earlier research in clinical populations. Psychological distress was positively associated with every dimension of the FSFI except desire problems. Age was associated with fewer pain problems. Alcohol use was associated with every dimension of the FSFI, but the direction of the association depended on if it was drinking in general or in connection to intercourse. More drinking in general was related to fewer sexual function problems while drinking in connection to intercourse was related to more sexual function problems. No significant correlation was found between adult sexual abuse and sexual function but between CSA and lubrication, satisfaction, and pain problems. Usage of oral contraceptive pill was not significantly associated with sexual function. The use of hormone based intrauterine systems was significantly associated with less pain and more desire, arousal, and satisfaction. In conclusion, the study supports use of the FSFI for assessing sexual function not only in clinical samples but also in population based samples. The associations found between sexual function and other important variables showed the complexity of sexual function.

“…The DSFI has been psychometrically validated and has been used widely in studies of normal and dysfunctional individuals (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Its length, however, has made it unsuitable for routine clinical practice; in light of this, we used a questionnaire based on the Sexual Satisfaction Subscale of the DSFI.…”

“…Hence, identification of factors affecting sexual satisfaction in addition to strengthening the interpersonal relationship, play important roles in the stability of the family system (5). These factors include socio-demographic characteristics, socio-religious beliefs, socio-economic status (6), social support and family relationships (7), diseases, depression, psychic stress, drug usage, infertility, pregnancy, delivery (8) and use of contraceptive methods (9).…”

Background: Sexual satisfaction is a desired feeling that one experiences during sexual interaction and is affected by several factors. Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the sexual satisfaction and its correlates among married women. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 306 married women in their reproductive age, selected by convenience sampling method, and referred to the four health centers affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2012, the participants completed a researcher-made questionnaire. Statistical analysis was carried out using independent samples T-test, Chi-square and logistic regression through SPSS version 16. Results: The mean score of the sexual satisfaction was 77.97 ± 1.38. Based on the mean, women were divided into two groups: sexually satisfied and dissatisfied. The Two groups matched in terms of age (P = 0.35), age of the husbands (P= 0.26), income status (P = 0.43), number of children (P = 0.44) and contraceptive methods (P = 0.13). Participants' educational level, menstrual status, marital duration, sexual function, husband's educational status and emotional bound were entered into the logistic regression model. Emotional bound had a significant effect on sexual satisfaction (P = 0.04, OR = 1.54, CI = 1.01 -2.36). Conclusions: Emotional bound as a considerable trait is associated with women's sexual satisfaction. It is recommended that health care providers pay more attention to this point at the time of health care delivery and also to emphasize the renovation of interpersonal relationship.
