| Description | Objectives. This article presents the results of a representative national study highlighting the risk factors of female sexual dysfunction in the Czech Republic. Study Design. A representative quota survey of 1000 Czech women of 15 years of age and older. The questionnaire is a part of a wider long-term survey of sexual behavior within the Czech population, which started in 1993. Besides the various aspects of sexual behavior the questionnaire included a specific section on sexual dysfunction. Results. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction amongst women in the Czech Republic is 20%. Risk factors that increase the likelihood of sexual dysfunction are: sexual abuse during childhood and having been forced to engage in sex during their lifetime. Having sexually transmitted disease and positive attitudes towards casual sex. Sexual characteristics which strongly associate with SD are: not being satisfied with sex and having faked orgasm “often and almost always”. Conclusion. These results indicate that there are risk factors for developing female sexual dysfunction (FSD) which can be identified, and there are other related characteristics that can have a negative impact on sexual behavior. |
