"Burden and factors for the early resumption of sexual intercourse in the puerperium among new mothers at Kawempe national referral hospital and Mengo hospital, Uganda."

Full textAbstract:
Background: Early resumption of sexual intercourse in the puerperium is a concern for couples because it is often not discussedduring pre-natal or postpartum care.Objective: This cross-sectional survey aimed to establish the current burden and factors associated with the early resumption of sexual intercourse within the puerperium at the National Referral Hospital and Mengo Hospital.Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among 445 parous women attending the six-week postpartum reviewand the young child clinic at Kawempe National Referral and Mengo Hospitals between March and May 2021.Results: The prevalence of ERSP within the puerperium was 39%. This study's earliest time to resume sexual intercourse was one week; the majority had resumed by week four (9.2%). Factors associated with the early resumption of sexual relations were the person’s tribe, going to the husband’s home after birth, and parity. The prevalence of sexual morbidities was 13%. Seventy-five (75%) of mothers did not receive information from the health care workers on when they can resume sex following childbirth.Conclusion: Puerperal sexual intercourse is still prevalent in Uganda. Interventions to reduce the resumption of sexual intercoursein the puerperium should focus on these determinants to delay puerperal sexual intercourse.

Background: Precociousness and abuse of unprotected sexual intercourses among teenagers promote sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies that often result in illegal induced abortions. The goal of this work is to study the knowledge, attitude and practice of students about sexuality.Methods: This is a cross-sectional and analytical study that took place from 1st March to 30th May 2015. All registered secondary students in both secondary schools Behanzin and Toffa 1er from Porto-Novo city are included. We used a multiple choice and open questions.Results: The survey concerns 1304 students. Among them, 57% are female and 43% are male. The students’ average age is 18.71±2.31years with extremes of 13 and 25 years. The majority of students in our sample (66.9%), the ideal age for first sexual intercourse is between 15 and 19 years with 60.4% for boys and 65.0% for girls. In our sample, 6 to 7 students out of 10 have at least one sexual intercourse. Among boys, we estimated 7 to 8 cases out of 10 and among girls 5 to 6 out of 10 cases. On the whole, 44.9% of students agreed to have sexual intercourse before marriage. Out of 1304 students, 50.0% have their first sexual intercourse between 15 and 19 years old and 47.2% of these sexual intercourses were unprotected. Having many sexual partners is more observed among boys. Sexually transmitted diseases are known by students of our sample in the following proportions: HIV/AIDS (93.2%), Gonorrhoea (44.2%), Syphilis (21.2%), Chancroid (6.2%), Genital trichomoniasis (5.4%). Out of 433 sexually active girls who were involved in the present study, 165 (38.1%) had at least one unwished pregnancy and 144 which is 87.3% resulted in induced abortions.Conclusions: Present study showed that the majority of students are sexually active and most of sexual intercourses are unprotected despite the knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases. This attitude is revealed in a certain rate of unwished pregnancies resulting in a significant proportion of induced abortions.

Full textAbstract:
Sexuality is an essential aspect of quality of life. Nevertheless, sexual intercourse is physically challenging and leads to distinct changes in blood pressure, heart, and respiratory rate that may lead to vital complications. We present a case report of a 22-year-old female suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage after sexual intercourse. The patient was immediately transported to hospital by emergency medical services and, after diagnosis, transferred to a tertiary hospital with neurosurgical expertise but died within 24 hours. After postcoital headaches, subarachnoid hemorrhage is the second most common cause of neurological complications of sexual intercourse and therefore patients admitted to an emergency department with headache after sexual intercourse should always be carefully evaluated by cerebral imaging.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between first sexual intercourse and sexual violence victimization, symptoms of depression, and suicidal ideation among sexually active adolescents in the United States. Data for this study came from the U.S. 2017 and 2019 iterations of the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. An analytic sample of 6252 adolescents aged 14–18 years old (49.5% female) who reported ever having sexual intercourse was analyzed using Poisson regression. The outcome variables investigated in this study were sexual violence victimization, symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, a suicide plan, and suicide attempts, and the main explanatory variables were age at first sexual intercourse and forced sexual intercourse. We also analyzed differences by gender and race. Of the 6252 adolescents who reported ever having sexual intercourse, 7.1% had their first sexual intercourse before age 13, and 14.8% experienced forced sexual intercourse. About 16% of adolescents experienced sexual violence during the past year, 42.6% reported symptoms of depression, 23.9% experienced suicidal ideation, 19.3% made a suicide plan, and 11.1% attempted suicide during the past year. In the regression analysis, early sexual intercourse was significantly and positively associated with suicidal ideation (relative risk (RR) = 1.15, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.02–1.30), suicide plan (RR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.00–1.38), and suicide attempts (RR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.15–1.61). Controlling for the effects of covariates, history of forced sexual intercourse was positively associated with the five outcomes examined with the relative risk ranging between 1.59 and 6.01. Findings of this study suggest that history of early or forced sexual intercourse is associated with poor mental health outcomes among adolescents and underscores the importance of developing interventions that offer psychological support in reducing the adverse impact of early sexual intercourse and forced sexual intercourse on adolescent health.

ObjectiveThis is a cross-sectional study that aimed to examine the resumption of sexual intercourse post partum, the utilisation of contraceptive methods and the influencing factors among Chinese women at a tertiary teaching hospital.DesignThis is a questionnaire survey by written and online interview for participants.ParticipantsBased on medical records, we sent online questionnaires about postpartum sexual intercourse and contraception plans to 550 eligible women.Main outcome measuresPotential factors affecting postpartum sexual intercourse and utilisation of contraception were determined by analysis of epidemiological and clinical factors and sexual experiences during and after pregnancy.ResultsOf 550 eligible participants, 406 women (73.8%) with a postpartum period of 8.5 months (range 6–10) completed the questionnaires; 146 of 406 (36.0%) resumed sexual intercourse within 3 months, and 259 of 279 (92.8%) used contraceptive methods. In univariate and multivariate analyses, sexual intercourse during pregnancy (adjusted OR 4.4, 95% CI 2.8 to 6.9) and resumption of menstruation (adjusted OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5 to 4.3) were significant influencing factors in resumption of sexual intercourse within 3 months after childbirth. No factor was found to be associated with using contraceptive methods or the general resumption of sexual intercourse post partum. The questionnaire had good reliability and validity.ConclusionsHaving sexual intercourse during pregnancy and resuming menstruation earlier were independent factors for resumption of sexual intercourse within 3 months after delivery. Almost all women who had postpartum sexual intercourse used various contraceptive methods.

Introduction : Malgré des lois en vigueur dans les différents pays régularisant l’âge du premier rapport sexuel, la transgression semble récurrente malgré ses nombreuses conséquences. Objectif : Étudier la précocité du premier rapport sexuel chez les femmes de la commune de Tanguiéta en 2023. Méthodes : Etude transversale descriptive à visée analytique menée de décembre 2022 à novembre 2023. Un échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié à trois degrés a été utilisé. La population source était constituée des femmes âgées de 16 ans et plus dans la commune de Tanguiéta. La variable dépendante était la précocité du premier rapport sexuel (rapport sexuel avant l’âge de 16 ans : déclarative). Résultats : Au total, 214 femmes ont été inclues dans cette étude. La moyenne d’âge des participantes était de 24,9± 4,9 ans avec des extrêmes de 16 à 37 ans. La prévalence de la précocité du premier rapport sexuel était de 45,8% (98 femmes sur 214) ([38,99-52,72]). Les facteurs associés à la précocité du premier rapport sexuel étaient : la régularité du cycle menstruel (p=0,001), l’auto description comportementale (p=0,002), l’éducation sur la sexualité avant le premier rapport sexuel (p=0,036), le premier rapport sexuel au motif d’amour pour le partenaire (p=0,040) et le premier rapport sexuel au motif de curiosité (p=0,001). Conclusion : Une action adéquate menée au niveau des facteurs explicatifs de la précocité du premier rapport sexuel permettrait de réduire sa prévalence et par la même occasion l’ensemble des problèmes psycho-socio-sanitaires qui lui sont liés.
Introduction: Despite laws in force in various countries regulating the age of first sexual intercourse, transgression seems to recur despite its many consequences. Objective: To study the precocity of first sexual intercourse among women in the Tanguiéta commune in 2023. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from December 2022 to November 2023. Three-stage stratified random sampling was used. The source population was women aged 16 and over in the Tanguiéta commune. The dependent variable was the precocity of first sexual intercourse (sexual intercourse before the age of 16: declarative). Results: A total of 214 women were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 24.9± 4.9 years, with extremes ranging from 16 to 37 years. The prevalence of early sexual debut was 45.8% (98 of 214 women) ([38.99-52.72]). Factors associated with early first intercourse were: regularity of menstrual cycle (p=0.001), behavioural self-description (p=0.002), sexuality education before first intercourse (p=0.036), first intercourse motivated by love for the partner (p=0.040) and first intercourse motivated by curiosity (p=0.001). Conclusion: Appropriate action to address the factors that explain premature first intercourse would help reduce its prevalence and, by the same token, the psycho-socio-health problems associated with it.

Background: Sexual intercourse is one of the important components of well-being, especially in married couples. There is a dearth of baseline research and data regarding the sexual habits of residents in South-East Asia. Objective: We aimed to see the baseline frequency of sexual intercourses among the residents of 3 South Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, and Nepal). Methods: This web-based cross-national, cross-sectional study was done among the residents of Bangladesh, India, and Nepal through Google forms. Married individuals who were living with their spouses were invited to respond to the survey. Results: A total of 120 respondents participated in this survey of which 46.7%, 38.3%, and 15% of respondents were from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, respectively. The mean of the weekly sexual intercourse was 2.23 (range: 0-8) among the total respondents; 2.70 (range: 0-7) among the Nepalese, 2.32 (range: 0-5) among the Bangladeshis, and 1.82 (range: 0-8) among the Indians. The differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: This study revealed very baseline and preliminary excerpts of sexual intercourse habit among the residents of 3 South Asian countries. There is a geographical variation in regard to the sexual contacts. Further, large-scale well-designed studies are warranted to explore the behavior.

SummaryIn 1984–85 a representative sample of 286 Danish women and 336 men aged 16–20 years were interviewed about their sexual debut. Seventy-four females (25·9%) and 101 males (30·1%) had not yet experienced sexual intercourse. A maximum likelihood estimation method was used to establish the age distribution at sexual debut. This takes into account knowledge of age at interview among the non-experienced respondents and of the few who did not report age at sexual debut. The median age at first sexual intercourse was close to 16·8 years for both females and males. This appeared to be a consequence of age at debut declining among women and remaining unchanged among males during the preceding 20 years.

Background. The aim of our study was to evaluate Vilnius and Vilnius Region women’s knowledge about sexual intercourse during pregnancy. Materials and methods. The study included 94 women who were in the Center Affiliate of VUH Santariskiu Clinics after delivery. The women were interviewed using a questionnaire. They were divided in three groups by levels of education. Results. The study showed that 83% of pregnant women had sexual intercourse during pregnancy. 55.1% had coitus several times a month. The first trimester was the most frequent period of sexual intercourse (52.6%). 22.6% of pregnant women were at high risk of miscarriage and 61.9% of them have had sexual intercourse. The frequency of miscarriage in the sexually active group was 17.9% and in the non-active group it was 50% (p < 0.05). All women who reported frequent sexual intercourse were not at threat for miscarriage compared to incidence of miscarriage of those 13 (22%) women who reported infrequent intercourse (p = 0.019). 79.8% of pregnant women were concerned about the adverse effects of sexual intercourse on pregnancy outcomes. 20.2% of the women thought that intercourse during pregnancy was safe. 63.8% of pregnant women were not asked by doctors during pregnancy about their sexual life. Conclusions. The majority (79.8%) of pregnant women were concerned about the adverse effects of sexual intercourse on pregnancy outcomes but even 83% of pregnant women had sexual intercourse during pregnancy. There were no statistical differences between women with different education level. Pregnant women were rarely asked by doctors about their sexual life.

SummarySurvival analysis – specifically the actuarial life-table method and the Cox Proportional Hazards model – was used to assess Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model with regards to the onset of sexual intercourse in a random sample of 1697 grade 9 and grade 11 pupils in the North West Province of South Africa. Data were collected in July and August 2007. Of the contextual factors examined, only academic performance and community disorganization were found to be statistically significantly associated with age at first sexual intercourse amongst girls. High academic performance by girls is positively associated with age at first sexual intercourse, while girls who live in disorganized communities initiate sexual intercourse earlier than their counterparts in other communities. Age is negatively associated with the timing of first sexual debut among both girls and boys. Males initiate sexual intercourse earlier than females, while youths with at least one sexual partner are much more likely to initiate sexual intercourse earlier than those without sexual partners.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the frequency of sexual intercourse and the number of sexual partners before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand.
Design/Methodology/Approach: 859 respondents were included in this study which involved a cross-sectional online survey and a self-administered questionnaire distributed to Thai people between May and June 2020. Data analysis methods included descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-ranks test and the chi-square test.
Findings: 19.7% reported a decrease and 3.8% reported an increase in the number of sexual partners. 22.8% reported a decrease and 9.5% reported an increase in the frequency of sexual intercourse apart from those who had no change in the frequency of sexual intercourse or the number of sexual partners. The median difference in the number of sexual partners and the frequency of sexual intercourse before and during the COVID-19 pandemic was of statistical significance (p-value < 0.01). Age, marital status and occupation were statistically associated with the change in the frequency of having sexual intercourse. Sex, age, marital status, income and sexual desire were statistically associated with the change in sexual partners. (P value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The number of sexual partners and the frequency of sexual intercourse decreased because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sexual health services and sexual education should provide a specific categorized group in order to meet their sexual health.
Research Limitations: Participants could remember their number of sexual partners but they may recall biases for sexual intercourse frequency. However, the average was used.

Full textAbstract:
The female pelvic floor is a complex bodily and corporeal form that accompanies a fault-finding role in different bodily functions and contains intercourse fitness. This abstract investigates the intercourse facets of the female pelvic floor, stressing their significance in intercourse function and delight. The pelvic floor of women consists of muscles, ligaments, and combined tissues that support the pouch, uterus, and rectum. Its basic functions include claiming self-restraint, advocating for pelvic means, and providing intercourse. Pelvic floor power plays a critical role during intercourse. They help with vaginal shortages, support the uterus in a promoted position, and are complicated by carrying out orgasms through cadence shortening. However, various factors can influence intercourse facets of the pelvic floor in women. These include childbirth, declining hormone levels, and pelvic floor disorders. Childbirth can cause fabric damage and jolting. Aging and hormonal changes can influence declining muscle attitude, vaginal aridity, and intercourse comfort. Pelvic floor disorders, such as moving down or debauchery, can lead to anxiety and decreased intercourse. Treatment alternatives for pelvic floor-connected intercourse issues include pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), tangible therapy, birth control remedies, and surgical medications. Addressing intercourse facets of the female pelvic floor is determined by the correct intercourse function, intimacy, and overall growth status of the girls

Full textAbstract:
Background: Less is known about the sexual health of young adults than about adolescents, despite 20 to 24-year-olds’ greater risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections. This paper provides information on college students’ prior and current sexual practices including oral sex, vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse and masturbation. Methods: We analysed data from a cross-sectional sexuality survey of students from two university campuses in the USA, one Mid-western and one South-western (n = 1504). The sample consisted of non-Hispanic white, never-married students who identified as heterosexual. Results: Of 16 possible combinations of four sexual activities (solitary masturbation, oral sex, vaginal intercourse and anal intercourse), only four contained more than 5% of respondents: masturbation, oral sex and vaginal intercourse (37%); oral sex and vaginal intercourse only (20%); all four (14%); and none (8%). Twenty percent had ever engaged in anal intercourse. Women were significantly less likely than men to have ever masturbated (48 v. 92%). Analyses exhibited several sexual health challenges, including lack of verbal sexual consent, alcohol use proximal to sex and lack of contraceptive use. Conclusions: Although few young adults are substituting it for vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse is increasingly common and safer sex efforts should encourage condom use during both sexual activities. Masturbation should be encouraged as an alternative to higher risk sexual practices and an essential aspect of sexual well being. Finally, practitioners should continue to address specific threats to college students’ sexual health, including alcohol use and non-verbal consent.

Full textAbstract:
Our objective is to report on a case of nonsurgical pneumoperitoneum and review the mechanism/gynecologic causes of such. We present a case report and review of the literature based on a MEDLINE search using the keywords pneumoperitoneum and nonsurgical. Radiographic evidence of free intraperitoneal air suggests hollow viscus rupture and usually warrants urgent surgical management. Findings of diffuse rebound tenderness and guarding solidify the decision for urgent surgical exploration. We present a case of a patient who presented with all of the above findings that subsequently underwent a negative laparotomy. On the day after surgery she admitted to having had rough sexual intercourse 3 days before presentation. Nonsurgical pneumoperitoneum has a number of unusual causes. Intra-abdominal, thoracic, gynecologic, iatrogenic, and miscellaneous etiologies are encountered. It was determined that the pneumoperitoneum in this case was secondary to rough sexual intercourse. We concluded that pneumoperitoneum secondary to nonsurgical causes represents a diagnostic dilemma. In the patient with free intraperitoneal air on plain X-ray one should be suspicious of less common nonsurgical etiologies. The majority of patients will require laparotomy. Thorough sexual and gynecologic/obstetrical history is a valuable adjunct in identifying the patient who does not.

Objective: The study aims to describe the premarital sexual intercourse and some related factors among students age 18-24 years in facilities 1 Dong Thap community college, 2021. Research methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted. We used the self-administration questionnaire to collect information from 542 students. Data was analysed with SPSS software, the descritive statistics and χ 2 , OR with CI95% were used to determine some related fators. Results: The percentage of students had premarital sexual intercourse was 33% (35,1% for male and 24,5% for female). Factors associated with premarital sexual intercourse included economic conditions, receiving parental attention, having friends who had premital sex, using alcohol, communicating about sexual topic. Recommendation: The school and the health sector should organize the health education on premarital sexual intercourse, establish a reproductive/sexual health counseling group for students. Students should attend seminars on sexual/reproductive health care to improve their knowledge, practice about safe sex. Keywords: Premarital sexual intercourse, students, related factors.

Full textAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study describes the sexual behavior among students who participated in the National Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE) 2012 and investigates whether social inequalities, the use of psychoactive substances and the dissemination of information on sexual and reproductive health in school are associated with differences in behavior. METHODOLOGY: The response variable was the sexual behavior described in three categories (never had sexual intercourse, had protected sexual intercourse, had unprotected sexual intercourse). The explanatory variables were grouped into socio- demographic characteristics, substance use and information on sexual and reproductive health in school. Variables associated with the conduct and unprotected sex were identified through multinomial logistic regression, using "never had sexual intercourse" as a reference. RESULTS: Over nearly a quarter of the adolescents have had sexual intercourse in life, being more frequent among boys. About 25% did not use a condom in the last intercourse. Low maternal education and work increased the chance of risky sexual behavior. Any chance of protected and unprotected sex increased with the number of psychoactive substances used. Among those who don't receive guidance on the prevention of pregnancy in school, the chance to have sexual intercourse increased, with the largest magnitude for unprotected sex (OR = 1.41 and OR = 1.87 ). CONCLUSION: The information on preventing pregnancy and STD/AIDS need to be disseminated before the 9th grade. Social inequalities negatively affect risky sexual behavior. Substance use is strongly associated with unprotected sex. Information on the prevention of pregnancy and STD/AIDS need to be disseminated early.

Objective: Adolescents’ behaviors are generally influenced by socio-cultural context, including religion. To evaluate the association between religion and sexual behavior in a group of young. Methods: Questionnaire applied in 2010 to Portuguese young to evaluate sexual behaviors, comparing 4 study groups: religious; non-religious; religious and practicing; religious and non-practicing. Results: We included 2341 questionnaires, with mean age 18.5±2.35 years, and 78% were religious-young. There was no difference between genders concerning first sexual intercourse mean age (16.4±1.91 vs. 16.4±1.65 years-old, p=0.827, in male and female sex, respectively) nor number of sexual partners. Females report having forced sexual intercourse more frequently than male sex (4.3% vs. 2.2%, p=0.009). Non-religious group have more sexual transmitted infections compared to religious young (3.6% vs 2.0%, p=0.039) but there were no differences between studied groups about having sexual intercourse with active sexual transmitted infections. About other risk behaviors, male sex, non-religious and religious and non-practicing young reported more often to date more than one person at the same time, to have more unprotected sexual intercourse and to have sexual intercourse under the effect of alcohol and drugs more frequently. Conclusions: Males, non-religious and religious and non-practicing young had more risky sexual behaviors like date simultaneous partners, have unprotected sexual intercourse or under influence of alcohol or drugs.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to examine temporal trends and differences in sexuality between depressed and non-depressed adults aged 18–59 in the United States from 2005 to 2016. A total of 21,437 people (5432 with depression) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. From 2005–2008 to 2013–2016, the average age at first sexual intercourse decreased, while the proportion of normal frequency of sexual activity and heterosexual sexual orientation increased among all the participants. Some differences in sexuality were found between the depressed and non-depressed groups. The average age at first sexual intercourse (p < 0.001), the proportion of normal frequency of sexual activity (p < 0.001), and heterosexual sexual orientation (p < 0.001) were lower in depressed participants, and the differences did not change over time (p for trend = 0.926 of average age at first sexual intercourse, p for trend = 0.823 of normal frequency of sexual activity, p for trend = 0.926 of heterosexual sexual orientation). Moreover, these differences were associated with marital status (p for interaction < 0.001 by average age at first sexual intercourse), employment status (p for interaction < 0.001 by average age at first sexual intercourse), education status (p for interaction = 0.023 by heterosexual sexual orientation) and family income status (p for interaction = 0.013 by average age at first sexual intercourse and p for interaction = 0.017 by normal frequency of sexual activity). In conclusion, the study found that the age at first sexual intercourse decreased and the frequency of sexual intercourse increased in all the participants, and differences in sexuality between depressed and non-depressed participants were present; however, these differences had no further increase or decrease during the 12-year period. These differences were associated with marital status, employment status, education status, and family income status. These findings show differences in sexuality between depressed and non-depressed patients but are somewhat different from previous studies; the results may provide directions for future research and social work.

Objective To evaluate the association of age at first sexual intercourse with the results of the cervicovaginal cytology. Study Design Observational analytical study about the prevalence of altered cervicovaginal cytology results in women aged between 18 and 34 years from a densely populated area in Brazil, during 10 years. The patients were stratified into 2 categories according to their age at first sexual intercourse (13–16 years and 17–24 years). Results From the total of 2,505,154 exams, 898,921 tests were in accordance with the inclusion criteria. Considering women with 4 years or less from the first sexual intercourse as a reference, those with 5 to 9 years and 10 years or more showed a higher prevalence of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). Women with an earlier onset of sexual intercourse (13–16 years) showed higher prevalence ratios for atypical squamous cells (ASC), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and HSIL. The prevalence ratio for HSIL adjusted by age at diagnosis and by age at first sexual intercourse was higher only for women with an earlier onset of sexual intercourse. Conclusions The age of first sexual intercourse could be a variable that might qualify the selection among young women who are really at a higher risk for HSIL.

Full textAbstract:
In postmenopausal women, sexual function may worsen with increasing menopausal status. Dyspareunia is a common complaint that is experienced by women who have experienced menopause and this also causes a decrease in the quality of sexual intercourse in women who have experienced menopause. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dyspareunia in menopausal women and the quality of sexual intercourse. This research method uses a literature review. Literature review means reviewing various types of literature, both national journals and international journals obtained from an academic database on Google Scholar, PubMed NCBI, and Science Direct from 2013 to 2023, without language restrictions, and full-text research journals with the keywords that related between “Dyspareunia”, “Quality of Sexual Intercourse”, and “Menopause Women”. Data were obtained from twenty-two research journals that met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that overall the article supports the effect of dyspareunia in postmenopausal women on the quality of sexual intercourse. All of the 22 articles show a relationship between dyspareunia in postmenopausal women and the quality of sexual intercourse. As a conclusion, dyspareunia experienced by postmenopausal can lead to a decrease in the quality of sexual intercourse in postmenopausal women. These findings may contribute to the development of a valid association of dyspareunia in menopausal women with the quality of sexual intercourse.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to systematically review the literature investigating the physical demands of sexual intercourse and to synthesize the evidence related to this research topic. Original studies published on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up until April 2020 were examined. The Effective Public Health Practice Project scale was used to assess the methodological quality of each study. Eighteen studies analyzed physical demands during sexual intercourse through the physiological demands (n = 14) and kinematics (n = 4) of sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse can elicit an energy expenditure of ~ 100 kcal (or ~ 6 metabolic equivalent units, METs) during the activity, mean heart rates between ~ 90 and ~ 130 beats per minute (bpm), and peak heart rates up to ~ 170 bpm. However, these physical demands may vary depending on health status, intercourse position, activity duration, intercourse phase, and sex differences. The movement pattern was cyclic in all positions and the greatest demands in lumbar spine flexion were found in the missionary positions for women. Missionary and side-lying positions elicited the greatest lumbar flexion movement in men. Regarding the movement of the hip joint during sexual intercourse, flexion, abduction, and external rotation mainly characterized the woman’s movement while external rotation did so in the man. In conclusion, sexual intercourse may elicit moderate intensity physical demands, but these demands vary depending on contextual variables. In addition, not only studies combining physiological and kinematic analyses are necessary but also more high-quality studies need to be published in order to have a better understanding of the physical demands of sexual intercourse.

Objective This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of sexual intercourse for treatment of distal ureteral stones. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of sexual intercourse for treatment of distal ureteral stones were searched using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. Results Three RCTs comprising 240 patients were included in the meta-analysis, which showed that sexual intercourse was effective in treating distal ureteral stones. The expulsion rate of distal ureteral stones at the second week (odds ratio [OR] = 6.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.66 to 11.94), expulsion rate of distal ureteral stones at the fourth week (OR = 4.00, 95% CI: 2.09 to 7.64), and number of analgesic injections (mean difference [MD] = −0.79, 95% CI: −1.51 to −0.08) indicated that sexual intercourse was more effective than placebo. However, the mean expulsion time of distal ureteral stones (MD = −3.98, 95% CI: −8.77 to 0.81) showed no difference between sexual intercourse and placebo. Conclusions Compared with placebo, sexual intercourse exhibited greater efficacy for the treatment of distal ureteral stones, whilst potentially alleviating pain.

Sexual intercourse with children is a very cruel crime especially the perpetrators of the crime of sexual intercourse against the child is the biological father of the victim. The Criminal Law Code has regulated the act of sexual intercourse namely Article 284-288. The specific crime of sexual intercourse with children has also been regulated in Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The people of Bali believe in the existence of a scale and noetic which, if something goes wrong, is believed to disturb the magical balance. In customary law, sexual intercourse with biological children is included in the Gamia Gemana offense and has been regulated in Awig-awig Desa Adat Tulikup Kelod. Based on these problems, this study was made with the aim of uncovering the factors that caused the crime of sexual intercourse against biological daughter in the village of Tulikup Gianyar and how the application of traditional sanctions for perpetrator of intercourse against a biological daughter in the village of Tulikup Gianyar. This research employed empirical research methods by analyzing quantitative data. The results of the study stated that the sexual needs that were not fulfilled by the wife, the low awareness of the perpetrator in the application of religious teachings, and the condition of the house which was always quiet were the causes of intercourse against a biological daughter in the village of Tulikup Gianyar. In addition to being subjected to positive sanctions in the form of imprisonment and fines, the perpetrator of sexual intercourse against biological children in Tulikup Village was also subject to sanctions that have been regulated in Awig-awig Kelik Tulikup Adat Village namely in the form of Sangaskara Danda (sanctions in the form of ceremonies) which must be carried out by the perpetrator and also the victim.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the results of an empirical study on the personality traits of sexually active teenagers. The research identified the personality traits of teenagers who are inclined to look for sexual relations. The research focused on the following: motivation and values, implicit representations about sexual contacts, parent-child relations, and self-concept. The study comprised 465 individuals including 405 school students aged 14-16 and 60 mothers of the teenagers examined. The results demonstrate that teenagers' refusal to begin sexual life, provided they have this opportunity (i.e. a partner), is linked to their subjective perception of the basic values reflected in their consciousness. The research also focused on the features of teenagers' implicit representations with regard to sexual intercourse. This allowed to identify the role of sexual intercourse in teenagers' life. The factors regulating sexual relations in the age under study have been revealed. The research shows that teenage sexual intercourse is mainly driven by cognitive motives combined with the hedonistic (boys) and communicational/social ones (girls). Emotionally distant parents are another factor triggering sexual relations. The negatively critical attitude to sexual partners was also displayed, especially by girls. The attitude was expressed by teenagers even where they initiated sexual intercourse themselves, without been pressured into it by their partners. The study has an applied character and enables effective preventive and corrective work with sexually active teenagers.

Background Unmarried women who report less recent sexual intercourse (>30 days from survey enumeration) are largely excluded from global health monitoring and evaluation efforts. This study investigated level and contextual factors in modern contraceptive utilization and unmet need within this overlooked female subpopulation in Kenya from 2014 to 2019. Methods This study analyzed data from the Performance Monitoring and Accountability (PMA) survey in Kenya, a nationally representative survey of female respondents, to understand the level and contextual factors for family planning utilization and unmet need within female subgroups including married, unmarried sexually active (defined as sexual intercourse within 30 days of survey enumeration), and unmarried with less recent sexual intercourse (defined as sexual intercourse 1–12 months prior to survey enumeration). The analysis included multilevel regression modeling to assess correlates on outcomes of modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR), unmet need, and recent emergency contractive pill (ECP) use, which is a unique PMA question: “Have you used emergency contraception at any time in the last 12 months?”. Results Cumulatively, the surveys enumerated 19,161 women and this weighted analysis included 12,574 women aged 15–49 from three female subgroups: 9,860 married women (78.4%), 1,020 unmarried sexually active women (8.1%), and 1,694 unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse (13.5%). In 2019, while controlling for covariates, unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse exhibited statistically significant differences (p-value<0.02) in current mCPR, mCPR at last sexual intercourse, unmet need for modern contraceptives, and recent ECP use. As compared to an unmarried woman with less recent sexual intercourse (i.e., reported sex 1–12 months prior to survey), the odds of an unmarried sexually active woman (i.e., reported sex within last 30 days of survey) currently using modern contraceptives was 2.28 (95% CI: 1.64, 3.18), using modern contraceptives at last sexual intercourse was 1.44 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.95), and having an unmet need for modern contraceptives was 2.01 (95% CI: 1.29, 3.13) while controlling for covariates. The odds of a married woman using ECP during the last 12 months was 0.60 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.82) as compared to an unmarried woman with less recent sexual intercourse. In 2019, unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse reported the highest rate of ECP use during the last 12 months at 13.5%, which was similar for unmarried sexually active women at 13.3%. Since 2014, summary measures of unmet need and total demand for modern contraceptives increased for unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse, but declined for the other female subgroups. Conclusion In Kenya, unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse exhibited significantly different contraceptive utilization, unmet need, and recent emergency contraceptive use. Moreover, changes over time in key family planning indicators were asymmetrical by female subgroup. This study identifies an important monitoring gap regarding unmarried women with less recent sexual intercourse. Evidence dissemination by the global measurement community for these unmarried women is exceedingly scarce; therefore, developing an inclusive research agenda and actionable information about these marginalized women is needed to enable targeted planning and equitable service delivery.

Full textAbstract:
HIV / AIDS cases among MSM (male sex men) in Indonesia from year to year have increased significantly. Meanwhile, Bali is a province with many HIV / AIDS cases, where Denpasar is the city with the highest number of MSM. There has never been a report on sexual behavior and HIV / AIDS prevention among MSM in Denpasar. Therefore, the researchers wanted to explore the problems of sexual behavior and its prevention in MSM in Denpasar. Purpose: This study aims to obtain a vision of sexual behavior and HIV / AIDS prevention among MSM groups in Denpasar City. This study used a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach to digging deeper into sexual behavior and HIV / AIDS prevention among MSM in Denpasar City. The selection of informants in this study was taken using convenience sampling technique and conducted in-depth interviews with 10 MSM who were productive and communicative in Denpasar. After collecting data in the field, the data will be analyzed thematically. In sexual intercourse behavior, most of the MSM prioritized variations and sensations during sexual intercourse to get sexual satisfaction, such as having group sex, using arousal-enhancing drugs, and violence engaging during sexual intercourse. Some of the informants only had one permanent sexual partner. However, there are still MSM who have more than one sexual partner and receive payment for sexual intercourse. Informants use condoms in sexual intercourse and with the PrEP method to avoid HIV / AIDS. It is necessary to conduct education and counseling on sexual orientation for the community, especially for adolescents looking for identity, educating MSM to reduce high-risk behavior during sexual intercourse.

Introduction: The percentage of the heterosexual population that has experienced and regularly has anal intercourse ranges from 20% to 35% in the USA. This practice increases to 95% in certain populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Due to the lack of data in the literature about the effect of proctologic surgery on anal intercourse, this study aimed to assess the impact of this surgery on sexual behavior in both genders. Materials and Methods: From March 2016 to February 2018, an anonymous questionnaire was submitted to all patients aged >18 who had undergone proctologic surgery in one of two surgical units at tertiary referral centers and was assessed independently of gender. The exclusion criteria were incomplete healing and <3 months follow-up. Results: In total, 929 patients answered the questionnaire in full. The overall prevalence of preoperative anal intercourse was 22.5%. The rate of anal intercourse among men was 16.7%, while among women, it was 28.9%. The overall postoperative rate of anal intercourse was 11.8%. The rate of postoperative anal intercourse among those who regularly engaged in anal intercourse preoperatively was 52.6%, with a 47.4% rate of non-completion (p <0.0001). The experiences reported during intercourse after surgery were mainly pain, stiffness, and partner discomfort. Conclusion: Considering the statistically significant postoperative AI abandonment rate following all types of proctologic surgery, the surgeon has a duty to both treat the disease and to inform the patient about the possible consequences regarding its influence on anal intercourse.

SummaryUsing responses from questions about age at first sexual intercourse and age at first marriage, this paper offers a method of studying premarital sexual behaviour in societies where the subject is a taboo topic. More than half of the currently married women in Kinshasa engaged in sexual intercourse before marriage. The likelihood of having premarital intercourse increases among younger women, those with higher education, and those whose ethnic groups have liberal attitudes towards sexual conduct. The results also suggest that sexual activity accounts for late marriage.

Full textAbstract:
Both structural and cultural arguments suggest that extensive relationship-building behaviors are a precursor to the onset of sexual intercourse. This research develops and tests a game-theoretic signaling framework, which suggests that the association between courtship behaviors and the onset of sexual intercourse should reflect selection effects. To test this framework empirically, this research utilized the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (1994–1996) and estimated probit and recursive bivariate probit models of sexual intercourse. The results showed support for the signaling framework. Extensive use of courtship behaviors was associated with sexual intercourse, but this association reflected the effects of selectivity. However, extensive courtship was more associated with sexual intercourse when adolescents did not know one another well prior to the start of their romantic relationships. These findings suggest that selectivity associated with signaling theory can complement models of cultural influence and structural effects.

BackgroundA greater understanding of the circumstances of first sexual intercourse, as opposed to an exclusive focus on age at occurrence, is required in order that sexual health and well-being can be promoted from the onset of sexual activity.MethodsWe used data from the third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3) conducted in Britain. Participants were categorised as ‘sexually competent’ at first heterosexual intercourse if the following self-reported criteria applied to the event: contraceptive use, autonomy of decision, both partners ‘equally willing’, and occurrence at the perceived ‘right time’. We examined the prevalence of ‘sexual competence’, and its component parts, by age at first intercourse among 17–24-year-olds. Using multivariable logistic regression, we explored associations between sexual competence and potential explanatory factors.ResultsVariation in ‘sexual competence’ and its component parts was associated with, but not fully explained by, age at first sex: 22.4% and 36.2% of men and women who had first sex at age 13–14 years were categorised as ‘sexually competent’, rising to 63.7% and 60.4% among those aged ≥18 years at first intercourse. Lack of sexual competence was independently associated with: first intercourse before the age of 16 years, area-level deprivation (men only), lower educational level, black ethnicity (women only), reporting ‘friends’ as main source of learning about sex (women only), non-’steady’ relationship at first sex, and uncertainty of first partner’s virginity status.ConclusionsA substantial proportion of young people in Britain transition into sexual activity under circumstances incompatible with positive sexual health. Social inequalities in sexual health are reflected in the context of first intercourse.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sexual attitudes and behaviours of university students. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 550 final-year university students aged 20–25 years in Izmir, Turkey. Male students opposed premarital sexual intercourse for both genders more than female students did. The frequency of sexual intercourse among male students (61·2%) was higher than that among female students (18·3%). The mean age of first sexual intercourse was lower among male than among female respondents. The rate of condom use at first sexual intercourse was 47·4%. The frequency of having two or more past sexual partners and masturbation was higher among males than females. It was found that there were culture-specific and gender-dependent differences in sexual attitudes and behaviours of the university students. These results may help in the planning of education and health policies in Turkey.
