“…Research showed that there is a direct and meaningful relation between people's sexual performance and sexual satisfaction. 46 On the other hand, we observed that presence of sexual stress (ISS) in Egyptian females was significantly related to female's age. It has been previously suggested that sexual satisfaction possibly declines with age.…”

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.

Background: Sexual satisfaction is important for maintaining pregnant women’s self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, and serves as a major indicator of health. Affecting a woman's sexual issues will indirectly affect her quality of life. The present study aimed to examine the factors related to sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes in the third trimester. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted in 2019 on 120 women with gestational diabetes visiting the clinics affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Multistage random cluster sampling was performed, and the sample was selected in a non-probability and convenience manner. The data collection instruments included a demographic and midwifery-related information questionnaire, Hudson’s Index of Sexual Satisfaction, the Female Sexual Function Index, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (short version), the Female Sexual Distress Scale, The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire, the Parental Distress Questionnaire, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Data were analyzed in SPSS 23 by using descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Results showed that about 50% of women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. In women with gestational diabetes, sexual satisfaction was positively correlated with sexual function (β = 0.215, p = 0.02) and marital satisfaction (β = 0.298, p = 0.003), and negatively correlated with depression (β = -0.269, p = 0.05). Conclusion: Half of the women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. Marital satisfaction, sexual function, and depression significantly predicted sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes. Examination of sexual function, marital satisfaction, and depression must be part of the routine evaluation for women with gestational diabetes. To increase the sexual satisfaction of these women, it is essential to offer interventions for reducing depression and improving sexual function, marital satisfaction and, thus, their quality of life. Keywords: Sexual satisfaction, gestational diabetes, pregnancy

Financial issues (P ≤ 0.000), smoking habit prior to lockdown (P ≤ 0.001), spots practice (P ≤ 0.001), smoking during lockdown (P ≤ 0.001), presence of depressive disorder on the PHQ-9 total score (P ≤ 0.001), diagnosis of anxiety on the GAD-7 score (P ≤ 0.001), and presence of ED on the IIEf-5 questionnaire (P ≤ 0.001) were all found to be significant on univariate analysis. On bivariate analysis, financial issues (odds ratio [OR]: 3.56, P ≤ 0.000), presence of anxiety on GAD-7 (OR: 6.40, P ≤ 0.001), PHQ score (OR: 2.50, P ≤ 0.001), and diagnosis of ED on the IIEF-5 scale (OR: 7.50, P ≤ 0.001) were significantly associated with Sexual relationship stress and Sexual Health.
