More than half of young women in Australia experience some form of s-e-xually-related personal distress feeling guilty, embarrassed, stressed or unhappy about their s-e-x lives. -A study conducted Monash University reported, for the first time, an overall picture of the s.e.xual wellbeing of Australian women between the ages of 18 and 39.
Results showed 50.2% of young Australian women experienced some form of s-e-xually-related personal distress, with one in five women having at least one female s-e-xual dysfunction (FSD). A concerning 29.6% of women experienced s-e-xually-related personal distress without dysfunction, and 20.6 per cent had at least one FSD. The most common problem was low s.e.xual self-image, which caused distress for 11 per cent of study participants.
Arousal, desire, orgasm and responsiveness dysfunction affected 9 per cent, 8 per cent, 7.9 per cent and 3.4 per cent of the study cohort, respectively, revealed the findings published in the international journal, Fertility and Sterility.
It is of great concern that one in five young women have an apparent sexual dysfunction and half of all women within this age group experience sexually-related personal distress,” said Susan Davis, senior author and Professor of Women’s Health at Monash University.
“This is a wake-up call to the community and signals the importance of health professionals being open and adequately prepared to discuss young women’s s-e-xual health concerns. The study, funded by Grollo Ruzzene Foundation, recruited 6,986 women aged 18-39 years, living in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. All women completed a questionnaire that assessed their s-e-xual wellbeing in terms of desire, arousal, responsiveness, orgasm, and self-image.
Participants also evaluated whether they had s-e-xually-associated personal distress and provided extensive demographic information. S-e-xual self-image dysfunction was associated with being overweight, obese, living together with partner, not married, married and breastfeeding.
Professor Davis said if untreated, s-e-xually-related personal distress and FSD could impact relationships and overall quality of life as women aged. Women who habitually monitored their appearance, and for whom appearance determined their level of physical self-worth, reported being less s.e.xually assertive and more self-conscious during intimacy, and experienced lower s-e-xual satisfaction.
