[Educational level and psychosexual adaptation in women]

By means of a structured interview the author examined the course of sexual development and life in 862 young married women born after 1951. Women with primary education (n = 425) started full sex life significantly sooner than women with a higher education (n = 437) Contrary to probands born in 1911 to 1950, no major differences were found in the member of coital partners before marriage, in the coital activity and reactivity. The author confirms the hypothesis that differences in sexual development and life between different social groups diminish markedly.
