Do you have a sexual health-related issue? Have you ever had one at some point? According to a new study, the majority of women in the U.S. (70%) have, at least once in their life. Of those, “22 percent felt very or extremely concerned about it.”
Now the question becomes, what exactly creates a sexual health issue? It can be a wide range of things, including:
“…lack of desire for sexual activity, inability to become sexually aroused, inability to have an orgasm, pain during intercourse, vaginal dryness, or excessive desire for sexual activity.”
Obviously, these issues affected other things, like women’s self esteem and their romantic relationships. About half the women said that they had turned to either the Internet or their partner to try and resolve it. Only 18% “actually saw a health-care provider when they had a sexual health issue.”
