Women: Two-Thirds Have Problems During Sex
July 30th 2010 -
Orgasm disorders, pain, listlessness – 62 percent of women have difficulties with sex. At least that is the result of a survey in the U.S., almost 600 women 18-95 years who had visited a urological clinic.

Most often the women suffered from apathy (47 percent) followed by orgasm problems (45 percent), lack of excitability (40 percent), lack of satisfaction (39 percent), dry vagina (37 percent) and pain during sex (36 percent).
“Sexual dysfunction can affect the quality of life considerably,” says study leader Debra Fromer of Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. Physical and emotional satisfaction, self esteem and relationship quality could suffer serious. Therefore it is important to recognize and address sexual problems in time.
The problems increased steadily with age – with the exception of the orgasm. These related to a particularly young women 18 to 30 years (more than half of the respondents) and the older participants 55-70 years (66 percent) and 70 years (87 percent). Among the middle-aged women is less than 50 percent complained about orgasm problems.
The sexually active group, women were 31-45 years. Of these, 87 percent had sex. The younger they were, however, with 85 percent, barely. From the age of 46 years, the sexual utilization increased slowly, but steadily: In the group of 46 – to 54-year-olds the figure was 74 percent, of the 55 – to 70-year-olds there were only 45 percent. Of the seniors over 70 then only 15 percent were sexually active.
“Overall, 67 percent of women, have sexual problem,” said study leader Fromer. The risk increased with age, the onset of menopause and the use of antidepressants.
That the results of the survey are representative, however, doubtful, since the respondents had already struggling with health problems of the genitourinary system. This could potentially have an impact on their sex life.
