To shed light on lesbian "bed death" among lesbian women. To explore the wishes and expectations of lesbian women with respect to healthcare professionals.
Semi-structured interviews with 30 self-identified lesbian women. The interviews were audio recorded. Three researchers classified and analyzed the most important themes.
The women indicated few sexual problems except for "bed death," a quasi-complete cessation of sexual activity. Twenty-three women experienced "bed death: during the current relationship or a previous one. The factors felt by the women to contribute to "bed death: were environmental influences, the existence of a symbiotic relationship, hormonal factors, and reduced sexual initiative. The women indicated that they would like family doctors to adopt a neutral attitude, be knowledgeable about homosexuality, and be able to recognize homosexuality in their patients.
A careful examination of the potential causes of "bed death" suggests that the phenomenon is more closely linked to a patient's gender than to her sexual orientation. Lesbian women would also like general practitioners to possess at least some basic knowledge about homosexuality.
揭示女同性恋者中的“床笫之死”现象。探究女同性恋者对医疗保健专业人员的愿望和期望。
对30名自我认定为女同性恋的女性进行半结构化访谈。访谈进行了录音。三名研究人员对最重要的主题进行了分类和分析。
除了“床笫之死”（即性活动几乎完全停止）外，这些女性表示几乎没有性方面的问题。23名女性在当前或以前的恋爱关系中经历过“床笫之死”。这些女性认为导致“床笫之死”的因素包括环境影响、共生关系的存在、激素因素以及性主动性降低。这些女性表示，她们希望家庭医生采取中立态度，了解同性恋知识，并能够识别患者中的同性恋者。
对“床笫之死”潜在原因的仔细研究表明，这一现象与患者的性别比与性取向的联系更为紧密。女同性恋者也希望全科医生至少具备一些关于同性恋的基本知识。
