As per the study, sexually satisfied women score higher on psychological well-being and the vitality index compared to their sexually dissatisfied counterparts.
The researchers studied about 295 women aged between 20-65 years who were sexually active more than twice a month.
“We wanted to explore the links between sexual satisfaction and well-being in women from the community and to see if there was any difference between pre-and postmenopausal women,” said Sonia Davison, the principal researcher of the Women’s Health Programme at Monash University.
The researchers found that, most common sexual problems in women are related to sexual interest, pleasure and satisfaction.
“We found that women who were sexually dissatisfied had lower well-being and lower vitality. This finding highlights the importance of addressing these areas as an essential part of women’s health care because women may be uncomfortable discussing these issues with their doctor,” said Davison.
These findings were published in the current issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
