初步研究表明,COVID-19大流行对女性性健康有重大影响,因此,关于个性化性身份的性福祉的实证工作仍然很少见。
这项研究的目的是探索异性恋者的性健康,德国第一波COVID-19大流行期间的女同性恋和双性恋顺式女性。
在4月20日至7月20日德国首次全国封锁期间,对顺式女性进行了匿名全国在线调查,2020年。问卷是通过电子邮件分发的,在线聊天和社交媒体平台。
收集了来自性行为问卷(SBQ-G)“大流行前”和“大流行以来”的人口统计学变量和自我报告指标。
共有1,368名顺式女性参与者:异性恋女性(n=844),女同性恋者(n=293),双性恋女性(n=231)。结果表明,在COVID-19大流行期间,性接触和手淫的频率总体下降。关于大流行之前和期间的差异,女同性恋妇女在性唤起方面表现出重大变化,而异性恋妇女在所有方面都表现出重大变化,除了享受性交的能力。双性恋女性的数据显示,除了性交频率和性唤起外,几乎所有方面都发生了显着变化。多元回归分析结果显示,年龄小于36岁,在大流行期间,恋爱和异性恋(与女同性恋相比)与性生活的总体满意度呈正相关。
研究结果表明,在大流行期间,应该为(顺式)妇女提供性和精神保健,并解决性少数群体的具体需求。
这是第一个描述异性恋性行为的研究,德国COVID-19大流行期间的女同性恋和双性恋女性。局限性,然而,包括所描述的数据仅在一个时间点获得,因此存在召回偏差的可能性,结果不能一概而论,因为46岁以上的女性代表性不足。
这项研究调查了COVID-19大流行以及由此产生的社会限制对特定女同性恋和双性恋女性群体性健康的影响,这可能会改善对未来公共卫生和政策危机的准备。巴茨F,勒默E,HatzlerL,etal.COVID-19大流行对居住在德国的顺式女性性健康的影响。JSexMed2022;19:907-922。
Preliminary research shows a substantial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women\'s sexual health, whereby empirical work on sexual well-being of minoritized sexual identities is still rare.
The objective of this study was to explore sexual health in heterosexual, lesbian and bisexual cis women during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.
An anonymous nationwide online survey was conducted among cis women during the first nationwide lockdown in Germany from April 20th to July 20th, 2020. The questionnaire was distributed via e-mail, online chats and social-media platforms.
Demographic variables and self-report measures from the Sexual Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ-G) \"before the pandemic\" and \"since the pandemic\" were collected.
A total of 1,368 cis women participants were included: heterosexual women (n = 844), lesbian women (n = 293), bisexual women (n = 231). Results indicate overall decrease in frequency of sexual contacts and masturbation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding differences before and during the pandemic lesbian women showed significant changes in sexual arousal whereas heterosexual women showed significant changes in all dimensions except capability to enjoy sexual intercourse. The data of bisexual women showed significant changes in almost all dimensions except for frequency of sexual intercourse and sexual arousal. Results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that being younger than 36 years-old, and being in a relationship as well as being heterosexual (compared with being lesbian) is positively associated with general satisfaction with sexual life during the pandemic.
The findings suggest that during a pandemic sexual and mental health care for (cis) women should be provided and address the specific needs of sexual minority groups.
This is the first study to describe sexual behavior in heterosexual, lesbian and bisexual women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. Limitations, however, include the fact that the data described were obtained at only one time point so there is a possibility of recall bias, and that the results cannot be generalized because of the underrepresentation of women over age 46.
This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting social constraints on the sexual health of particular groups of lesbian and bisexual women, which may improve preparedness for future public health and policy crises.
