摘要
In this work we aim to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic measures influenced frequency of intercourse, auto-erotic behaviors, sexual desire and satisfaction and quality of couple relationships of the Portuguese Population. We also aimed to address if these changes were different across gender, relationship and work status (home-based; in-office work). This was an observational cross-sectional study, performed through an online survey. We included 316 participants. About half of the participants who were in a relationship revealed no relationship impact. The mean impact was more positive in home-based participants (1,96 vs 1,81). Half of the participants had a decrease in frequency of sexual intercourse, with in-office workers reporting a greater reduction. Mean increases in masturbation were higher in men (p < 0,001) and home-based participants (p=0,012). Pornography consumption was higher in single (p = 0,044) and home-based participants (p=0,04). Sexual desire was higher in single (p = 0,047) and home-based participants (p= 0,014). Sexual satisfaction was lower in single (p < 0,001) and in-office workers (p=0,282). Home-based participants had a more positive mean impact in most variables, which was significant for participants who were in a relationship and home-based.
