Abstract
Therapeutic work with alcoholics has revealed the difficulties these patients encounter in their sexual relationships and how these difficulties affect their sexual satisfaction. The aim of this research is to determine the sexual satisfaction and the possible sexual dysfunctions of abstaining alcohol-dependent patients. The sample comprised 150 alcoholic patients undergoing rehabilitation. We show that alcoholism has a direct impact on the quality of the sexual life of these patients, mainly due to sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation in males and the avoidance of sexual relationships and dissatisfaction in females. This affects commitment to the couple relationship and hence their intimacy and mutual sexual satisfaction.
