ORIGINAL RESEARCH-EPIDEMIOLOGY: Sexual Dysfunctions in Urban China: A Population-Based National Survey of Men and Women

Both the prevalence and correlates for sexual dysfunctions in urban China were similar to those in other societies. Mental distress, age, and poor communication (producing the report that “my partner does not understand my sexual needs”) were the correlates shared by both men and women. Other correlates were more distinct by gender. The multiplicity of correlates for men and women suggests a need for a holistic approach to sexual dysfunctions.
