| Abstract | To study sexual activity, the prevalence of
sexual dysfunction, and related help-seeking
behaviour patterns among middle-aged and
older people in the UK and Europe.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
A telephone survey was conducted using
a structured questionnaire covering
demographics, health, relationships, and
sexual behaviour, attitudes and beliefs. In
the UK, 1500 individuals completed the
survey.
RESULTS
Overall, 69% of men and 56% of women
reported having sexual intercourse during the
past year. The most common male sexual
problems, i.e. early ejaculation (20%) and
erectile dysfunction (18%), were more
common in the UK than in other European
regions. The most common female sexual
problems, i.e. a lack of sexual interest (34%)
and a lack of pleasure in sex (25%), were also
more common in the UK than in other
European regions. Only 26% of men and 17%
of women had discussed their sexual
problem(s) with a doctor.
CONCLUSION
Many people in the UK maintain sexual
interest and activity into middle age and
beyond. Although they experience sexual
problems, few seek medical help. This might
be because they do not perceive such
problems as serious or sufficiently upsetting,
and/or are not aware of available treatments | pt_BR |
