    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Health
    • Sociology of Health

    Background:

    • Sexual behavior and response during pregnancy are complex.
    • Sociodemographic factors significantly interact with sexual experiences in pregnant individuals.
    • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for comprehensive prenatal care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe sexual behavior and response in a large cohort of obstetric patients.
    • To identify sociodemographic predictors of coital frequency during pregnancy.
    • To investigate the occurrence and impact of dyspareunia during pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive study design.
    • Inclusion of 1500 obstetric patients registering for prenatal care.
    • Analysis of sociodemographic variables, coital frequency, orgasmic response, and dyspareunia.

    Main Results:

    • Marital status, gestational age, parity, and race were key predictors of coital frequency.
    • Orgasmic response showed a positive correlation with patient age, though interpretation was limited by terminology.
    • Dyspareunia was infrequent but decreased coital frequency more in single than married women.

    Conclusions:

    • Sociodemographic factors significantly shape sexual behavior during pregnancy.
    • Changes in sexual behavior during pregnancy are intertwined with factors influencing fetal outcomes.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between age and orgasmic response due to terminology issues.
