“…Conforme esperado, com instrumentos adaptados para o português brasileiro, avaliando jovens brasileiros, as escalas de self--sexual de fato apresentaram tal correlação com as escalas de autoestima e satisfação com a vida. Esses achados salientam a relevância da educação sexual e da saúde sexual como potencializadores de saúde geral-melhorando até a performance acadêmica (Barr et al, 2014;García-Gómez et al, 2017;Sánchez, 2009). Dentre todas as subescalas de self-sexual, é compreensível que a escala com maior correlação positiva com a escala de Autoestima Geral fosse a escala de Autoestima Corporal-Sexual.…”

Self-sexual é um constructo auto percebido multifacetado, que inclui eficácia sexual, autoestima sexual-corporal, sensação de direito a receber prazer de si e do(a) parceiro(a), e autorreflexão-sexual. O presente estudo investigou o self-sexual de jovens adultos brasileiros, avaliando a correlação entre self-sexual e as escalas de satisfação com a vida e de autoestima geral, assim como o impacto da religiosidade no self-sexual. 1380 participantes, de 18 a 30 anos, completaram uma pesquisa online que incluiu o Inventário de Self-sexual (iss). O delineamento foi quantitativo, descritivo e transversal. Todas subescalas do iss obtiveram correlação positiva com as escalas de satisfação com a vida e de autoestima geral. Algumas subescalas apresentaram correlação negativa com religiosidade, embora a subescala de autoestima sexual tenha obtido correlação positiva. As mulheres obtiveram escores significativamente maiores nas subescalas de sensação de direito a receber prazer de si e do(a) outro(a). As mulheres bissexuais se destacaram com maiores resultados em comparação a homens e mulheres heterossexuais, apesar de apresentarem menores níveis de autoestima. Pesquisas futuras com variáveis e amostras mais diversas podem contribuir para a continuidade da compreensão desse constructo.

“…Considering the substantial impact of LUTS on ED, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life among men older than 40 years, the results of the current and previous studies support the importance of a comprehensive assessment of men with LUTS that includes not only the urinary aspect, but also sexual function and sexual satisfaction. 18,19 Conversely, it would be beneficial to assess LUTS in men reporting with sexual dysfunction, as we estimated that a 3-point increase in IPSS score (minimal clinically important difference 33 ) was associated with a decrease of 0.431 points in IIEF-5 score among men with LUTS. This approach would enable a more comprehensive evaluation of 2 highly prevalent and potentially detrimental conditions in men.…”

“…More recent studies have shown that overall sexual health was rated as highly important in regard to quality of life, particularly among those who considered themselves to be in good health, 18 and that the presence of comorbidities (ie, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and depression) that are known to be associated with sexual dysfunction increases the likelihood of sexual dissatisfaction. 19 As such, the assessment of sexual satisfaction as part of routine clinical practice is gaining attention.…”

Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affect !60% of adult men and are associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) and sexual dissatisfaction. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship among male LUTS, ED, and sexual satisfaction. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Brazil LUTS study, a cross-sectional, epidemiological survey conducted by telephone interview in 5 cities in Brazil. This analysis included men aged !40 years. Main Outcome Measure: LUTS were identified using International Continence Society definitions. LUTS severity was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire and sexual satisfaction was rated on a 5-point scale. Results: 2,433 men participated in the study. Of 2,183 men reporting data on LUTS, 873 (40%) had LUTS "about half the time" or more. The prevalence of ED and sexual dissatisfaction was 14.4% and 7.8%, respectively. The proportion of men reporting ED and sexual dissatisfaction was higher among men with LUTS (24.6% and 13.8%, respectively) than men without LUTS (8.7% and 4.5%, respectively; P < .001). LUTS severity was negatively correlated with IIEF-5 scores (r ¼ e0.199; P < .001); we estimated a 0.431-point decrease in IIEF-5 score per 3-point increase in International Prostate Symptom Score. Increased age and the presence of LUTS were associated with a greater chance of ED and sexual dissatisfaction; depression/anxiety and diabetes were associated with a greater chance of sexual dissatisfaction only. Among men with LUTS, urgency with fear of leaking, urgency urinary incontinence, and nocturnal enuresis were associated with a greater chance of ED, whereas slow stream and urgency urinary incontinence were associated with a greater chance of sexual dissatisfaction. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the presence of LUTS is associated with an increased chance of ED and sexual dissatisfaction in Brazilian men and reinforce the importance of a comprehensive assessment of these conditions.

“…The above provides conditions for further investigation of sexual health. 7 Lawrance and Byers defined sexual satisfaction as "an affective response arising from one's subjective evaluation of the positive and negative dimensions associated with one's sexual relationship". 8 A previous study indicated that, factors including the loss of a long-term sexual partner, deterioration in a continuing relationship, and changes in hormonal status are associated with reduced sexual satisfaction.…”

“…Given the existing evidences of the relationships between comorbidities and sexual function and sexual satisfaction among cancer-free population, these evidences deserves a closer examination among cancer survivors. 7 In addition to the comorbidity, many studies have confirmed that lifestyle factors are closely related to cancer survivors' quality of life. For example, cessation of smoking and drinking, increased in physical activity, and optimal fruit/vegetable intake are crucial for improving the quality of life of cancer survivors.…”
