BACKGROUND: In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a pandemic. Currently, data on changes in sexual
behavior during the COVID-19 outbreak are limited. AIM: The present study aimed
to obtain a preliminary understanding of the changes in people's sexual behavior,
as a result of the pandemic, and explore the context in which they manifest.
METHODS: A convenience sample of 270 men and 189 women who completed an online
survey consisting of 12 items plus an additional question were included in the
study. OUTCOMES: The study outcomes were obtained using a study-specific
questionnaire to assess the changes in people's sexual behavior. RESULTS: While
there was a wide range of individual responses, our results showed that 44% of
participants reported a decrease in the number of sexual partners and about 37%
of participants reported a decrease in sexual frequency. Multiple regression
analysis showed that age, partner relationship, and sexual desire were closely
related to sexual frequency. In addition, we found that most individuals with
risky sexual experiences had a rapid reduction in risky sexual behavior. CLINICAL
IMPLICATIONS: The current findings contribute to identifying another potential
health implication associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and report preliminary
evidence of the need to provide potential interventions for the population.
STRENGTH & LIMITATIONS: This study is the first to perform a preliminary
exploration of sexual behavior during the COVID-19 outbreak. The generalizability
of the results is limited, given that only a small convenience sample was used.
CONCLUSION: During the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, overall sexual activity,
frequency, and risky behaviors declined significantly among young men and women
in China. Li W, Li G, Xin C, et al. Challenges in the Practice of Sexual Medicine
