“…In the literature, it has been reported that providing information and a consultation service with regard to sex as a routine application within prenatal care services is important as a way of mitigating the problems that can be encountered during this period and also in the postpartum period [6,16,17]. In our study, only one-third of the women received information relating to their sex lives during pregnancy.…”

This study has been performed in order to determine the changes that women experience in their sexuality during pregnancy in Turkey. The sample consisted of 336 women. Data were collected using a questionnaire prepared by researchers. Percentages, mean calculations and Chi-square tests were used in statistical analysis of data. Of the women, 41.7% were in the 23-28 age group, and 35.7% of them had received information relating to their sex lives during pregnancy. Of the subjects, 38.1% had always enjoyed sexual intercourse before pregnancy but only 9.5% of the women always enjoyed sexual intercourse during their pregnancy. This study determined that the sex lives of a significant portion of women were negatively affected by their pregnancies. Therefore, the importance of providing sexual health consultations with health personnel within the scope of pre-natal care services was emphasized.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PLISSIT [Permission (P), Limited Information (LI), Specific Suggestions (SS) and Intensive Therapy (IT)] model in dealing with postpartum sexual problems. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest, a post-test and a control group made with 123 women (intervention=61; control=62). Before the application of the PLISSIT Model intervention plan, 77.0% of the women in the intervention group and 71.0% of the women in the control group had statistically similar 12 points or above scores of Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale-female form and sexual problems. After the application of the PLISSIT Model intervention plan, the women in the intervention group (60.7%) experienced statistically significant sexual problems according to the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale-female form than the women in the control group (77.4%). This study revealed that the PLISSIT Model intervention plan reduced the postpartum sexual problems experienced by women.

“…Por último, en congruencia con lo dicho por Allen & Fountain (2007), se requiere de educación para los varones -no sólo para maridos-, y para las mujeres -no sólo para las embarazadas-, que promueva la salud de los involucrados en el embarazo, integre a los varones como partícipes responsables de la reproducción y la sexualidad, y deseche formas de pensar y actuar que excluyan el sexo benéfico o fuercen unilateralmente el sexo perjudicial durante la gestación. La psicoprofilaxis perinatal, en una modalidad que incorpore, informe, eduque y entrene a mujeres y varones (Sapién, 2006;Sapién & Córdoba, 2007;Sapién, Córdoba & Salguero, 2008), sería una opción recomendable.…”

ResumenEl objetivo fue reportar el comportamiento sexual de varones en el embarazo, sus experiencias y significaciones. Participaron 6 hombres de la Ciudad de México, de 23 a 35 años de edad, casados, con escolaridad y ocupación distintas. Fueron entrevistados sobre sus experiencias sexuales durante la gestación de su hijo. Cada varón constituyó un caso: suspensión del sexo preservando un embarazo difícil de obtener; interrupción del sexo para cuidar a la pareja embarazada y no lastimar al bebé; disminución del sexo con el avance del embarazo; interrupción del sexo al final del embarazo evitando un aborto espontáneo; mejoramiento de sus relaciones sexuales en el embarazo; y una sexualidad especial y sostenida hasta el nacimiento. Los varones -con base en vivencias y significaciones de la relación amorosa y erótica con su pareja, el cuerpo preñado, la gestación y su paternidad naciente-decidieron cómo comportarse sexualmente con sentido durante el embarazo.Palabras clave: Comportamiento sexual, varones y embarazo.
