Introduction: Psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic include pandemic triggered feelings of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety added to the effects of restricting the population's activities in lockdown. Aim: We aimed to study the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on sexual satisfaction of females and males in Egypt and to evaluate possible predictive factors. Methods: Married men and females in Egypt were invited to respond to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire addressed medical history, socioeconomic status, sexual performance satisfaction before and during the lockdown in addition to validated Arabic questionnaires for depression, sexual function in males and females, and sexual satisfaction (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Female Sexual Function Index, International Index of Erectile Function-5, Index of Sexual Satisfaction, respectively). Main outcome measure: The main outcome measures were frequency of depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and sexual satisfaction in males and females during COVID-19 lockdown. Results: A total of 479 females and 217 males completed the questionnaire. Sexual satisfaction was significantly higher before (91.2%, 73.5%) than during lockdown (70.5%, 56.2%) in both males and females, respectively. During lockdown, significantly more males (70.5%) reported being satisfied with their sexual performance than females (56.2%) (P < .001). More than half of the male subjects (68.2%) had no erectile dysfunction while 97.3% females scored 26.5 on the Female Sexual Function Index scale suggestive of sexual difficulties. Sexual stress was significantly greater in females (70.8%) than males (63.1%). Educational level, occupation, anxiety, and erectile dysfunction were independently associated with sexual stress in males. Being a housewife or unemployed, husband's age >35 years, marriage duration of 5-10 years, anxiety, and female sexual dysfunction were predictors of sexual relation stress in females. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic was associated with lower sexual satisfaction in both genders. Females however suffered more anxiety and depression and thereby greater risk of sexual function difficulties and sexual dissatisfaction. Intervention strategies in order to lessen the suffering of affected individuals particularly after the pandemic are recommended.

“…When we asked our participants to compare their sexual satisfaction before and after the age of 60, the most reported response was 'I was satisfied before and still satisfied'.12% of the participants were very satisfied before but were now dissatisfied. In a previous work [25] , age was a strong predictor of sexual satisfaction for married women as 66.7% of women aged 50 or older were dissatisfied compared with 17.5% in the age group 20-29 years. Among 156 married Korean women over 65 years old, Choi et al [26] found that 14.1% were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied.…”

Background: Aging has a powerful impact on the quality of life in general and probably on sexual functioning. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of aging on various aspects of female sexuality. Patients and Methods: One hundred and fifty women aged 60 years or older were included in this study. They were all married and free from diseases interfering with sexual activity. The tool used was a self-report questionnaire that included 29 items designed by the investigators. The privacy and anonymity of participants were ensured. Results: Coital frequency decreased with aging; 64.3% of women aged 70-74 years reported no coitus compared with 16.7% of women aged 60-64 years. The frequency of spontaneous sexual desire also decreased with aging; 40% of women aged 70-74 years reported that spontaneous sexual desire has become rare or almost never occurs compared with14.7% of women aged 60-64 years. With aging, lubrication became difficult; 60% of women aged 70-74 years find difficulty in lubrication in more than 50% of sexual encounters compared with25% of women aged 65-69 years and 26.7% of women aged 60-64 years. Dyspareunia and anorgasmia were reported by 100% of women aged 70-74 years. Conclusion:All aspects related to sexual activity declined with aging.
