Objective: Mental health professionals believe sexual satisfaction is one of the most important factors affecting women wellbeing and quality of life. Family consistency and marriage durability are dominantly dependent upon sexual life satisfaction. Different factors may affect sexual interest. To investigate significant relationship between sexual satisfaction and educational levels in women. Material and Methods: subjects were 270 married women in the age range of 18-45 years old. Sexual satisfaction, sexual function indexes and demographic data have evaluated by formal known questioners: Sexual Satisfaction Scale for women (SSS-W) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Result: There was not a lineal relation between sexual satisfaction and formal education level in participant women. Under diploma and doctorate education groups have had more sexual dysfunction and lower sexual satisfaction in comparison to other groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: Higher formal education level necessarily does not bring better sexual function or sexual life satisfaction..

Medicinal use of basil, Ocimum basilicum, dates back to ancient times in Iran, China and India. In this study, we aimed to experiment on the antioxidative property of a herbal source (sweet basil) to protect central nervous system against oxidative damages of electromagnetic field (EMF) and it's affective sequences. We used forced swimming test to evaluate antidepressant effect of basil extract in 30 albino male Wistar rats that had been exposed to 50 Hz, EMF for 8 weeks. At the end of 8th week, rats which have been feed with basil extract (1.5 g/kg body weight), showed decrease in immobility score (P < 0.001) and increase in swimming (P < 0.001), but not in climbing scores significantly in comparison with control group. Basil extract can act as serotoninergic antidepressants medicine to decrease depression presentation in exposed subjects to EMF.
