Study: 40% women have sexual problems

A recent study conducted by Dr. Jan Shifren, of Massachusetts General's Obstetrics and Gynecology Service and team surveyed 32,000 women aged 18 and older, across the U.S. The participants were asked standardized questions about their sexual health. The survey also gauged the women’s distress related to their sex lives — including feelings of anger, guilt, frustration, and worry.

Overall, 43.1% women reported some kind of sexual problem; 39% had diminished desire; 26% had arousal problems, and 21% had problems with achieving orgasm.
