Women's Sex Life - A "Deep" Study
women_sexA recently survey has shown that more than half of Canadian Women experience at least one sexual problem, starting from low sex drive to difficulties climaxing during sex.

A one of a kind survey published in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality shows the different variables that affect women's sexual experiences. The researchers looked at factors such as age, marital status, contraceptive use and eduction to determine how these factors affect a woman's sex life.

A 2002 survey conducted by Canadian Contraception study among 1,582 women, have shown that 55% of the women had experienced at least one of three problems: low sexual derire, infrequent orgasms during sex and pain during intercourse. The participants age was between 15 and 44.

A more detailed report: Of the women who showed sexual concerns, 40% reported low desire, 23% infrequent orgasms during sex and 14% reported pain during sex.

If women were heavier, were more educated, had partners with erectile difficulties or were on birth control pill or used condoms reported infrequent orgasns. But that does not necessarily mean that women with high body weight or being married actually causes low sex drive, rather it could be a case of other factors at play.

For example, the researchers speculate that the relationship between high body weight and low sex drive could be due to hormones or low self-esteem issues. In the case of older women and low sex drive, they note more stress at work.

But the researchers reported that more studies should be done to better understand the cause-and-effect relationship between lifestyle and women's sexual function.
