Objective:To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) lockdown on the sexual lives of couples who live in Turkiye.Materials and Methods:One hundred ninety-three sexually active participants. While sexual functions were evaluated with the international erectile function index-15 in men and the female sexual function index in women, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAM) was used to measure anxiety level. Married people filled out the Marriage adjustment test (MAT) questionnaire. The effects of the quarantine period on the relationship were evaluated with a questionnaire created specifically for this study.Results:Sexual improvement and worsening were observed in 8.8%, and 15%, respectively. It did not change for 76.2%. Sexually deteriorated subjects had a higher HAM score (p=0.003). The MAT score was lower in sexually deteriorated subjects (p=0.004). The rate of sexual worsening was higher in women than in men (28.6% vs. 12%, p=0.02). Women’s HAM scores were higher (p=0.002). The MAT score was also found to be higher in women (p=0.0037). 58% of sexually deteriorated participants did not feel safe at home during the COVID-19 period, whereas all of those sexually improved participants felt safe at home.Conclusion:During the COVID-19 lockdown period, sexual deterioration was detected in 15% of sexually active people. This worsening was associated with the HAM score. Additionally, it was revealed that feeling safe at home is related to sexual life. While the relationship between sexually worsening and the MAT score was significant in men, it was revealed that the level of anxiety in women affected sexual life more significantly. |
