303 North American women aged 18-75 years completed a 100- questionnaire survey, including the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) demographic data and question about sexual satisfaction level, sexual activity and behavior, relationship and the women’s perception on the partner’s sexual function. X2 and MANOVA were performed and a p-value < 0.05 was considered as significant.

FSFI score was statistically significant negatively correlated to irregular menses, depression, stress, not liking sex, partners unwillingness to sex, too little foreplay and afterplay, low and irregular frequency of sex, poor emotional relationship, dissatisfaction with partners erectile function, ejaculatory control and penile size. 21 % of the women were dissatisfied with their overall sexual life and 24 % with their orgasmic function.
