Frequency of Sexual Dysfunctions Among Roman Catholic Women

Abstract
The frequency and type of sexual dysfunctions in healthy and sexually active Roman Catholic churchgoers was compared with non-church-goers. All the women had had a steady psychosexual relationship with only one partner for at least one year. The sexual dysfunctions investigated were related only to vaginal intercourse. Although there is no significant difference in the frequency and type of sexual dysfunctions, the Roman Catholic church-goers more frequently complained of unsatisfying sexual relationships (P<0.05) or were requested by their partner on a change in their own sexual behaviour (P<0.05). The possible correlations between religiosity and sexual health are discussed.
