美国1999年一项涉及1749名妇女的性调查报告称,43%的女性患有性功能障碍,且其发病率随着年龄增长而增加。妇女的性问题比男性多,而且也复杂,比如男性出现ED时最多只有10%的人会伴有性欲低下,而妇女在出现其他性问题时伴有性欲问题的人则多达40%以上。虽然如此,大约有2/3的女性并没有因为性困难而严重影响婚姻,但她们往住独自忍受这种痛苦。 A 1999 US sexual investigation involving 1,749 women reported that 43% of women had sexual dysfunction and their incidence increased with age. Women have more sexual problems than men and are also complicated. For example, at most 10% of men with ED appear to be accompanied by low libido, while women have as much as 40% more sexual partners when other sexual problems occur. Nonetheless, about two-thirds of women do not seriously affect marriage because of sexual difficulties, but they live alone to endure such suffering.
