  • Title: [Sexual education and contentment with the feminine sexual role (author's transl)].
    Author: Wenderlein JM.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1976 Aug; 36(8):667-71. PubMed ID: 976707.
    Abstract:
    The correlation of sexual education during childhood and the later contentment with the feminine sexual role was quantitively tested for its statistical significance. The data were collected for 386 women with a questionnaire and psychometric testing. Contentment with the feminine sexual role showed correlations to the age of the first sexual education (p smaller than 0.01), to the quality of the sexual education (p smaller than 0.05) and to the experience of the individual sexuality during adolescence (p smaller than 0.05). The earlier and the more positive the sex education the higher was the contentment with the own sexual role. Women who were most content with their presently experienced sexuality were also most content with their social role (p smaller than 0.01). Of importance in the discussion of the results were relationships between the contentment with the sexual role and the age (p smaller than 0.05), neurotic personality traits (p smaller than 0.01), obesity (p smaller than 0.01), psychosomatic complaints (p smaller than 0.05) and the present state of health (p smaller than 0.001). These results are of practical importance for sexual councelling in gynaecology.
