Abstract

Correlation between parity and sexual behavior during pregnancy was studied in 106 pluriparous and 69 primiparous patients. Sexual desire, frequency of coitus, frequency of or-gasm, which partner initiated sexual activity, and level of sexual satisfaction were analyzed in the year before pregnancy and during pregnancy. Sexual desire, frequency of coitus, and sexual satifaction were qualitatively equal in both groups. The frequency of coitus in particular decreased progressively in the three trimesters of pregnancy and more evidently in the pluriparous. The partner who initiated sexual activity most frequently was the male in the pluriparous group.
