COVID-19 was first diagnosed in Kenya in March 2020 following which the government instituted control measures which could have affected people's sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life including restrictions in travels; ban on alcohol consumption and closure of bars; 9 pm to 5 am curfew; ban on political rallies, and closure of many workplaces with people being encouraged to work from home.
The objective of this study was to determine how perceived and experienced sexual satisfaction changed with the advent of COVID-19 among heterosexual married individuals in Kenya.
The study was a cross-sectional survey. Data was collected virtually using monkey survey from social groups. A total of 194 participants responded to the survey.
The difference in overall sexual satisfaction as well as satisfaction with sex frequency; sex process; and time, place and ambience around sexual intercourse before and during COVID-19.
Most of the participants (73.4%) reported that they were satisfied with their marital sex before COVID-19 but the proportion of those reporting satisfaction dropped to 58.4% when they were asked about their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among participants surveyed during the pandemic itself, therefore, 41.3% reported that they were currently sexually dissatisfied whereas just 26.6% reported that they were dissatisfied even prior to the pandemic. There was a significant difference in the overall distributions before and during COVID-19 (χ² = 38.86, P< .001).
COVID-19 pandemic should be considered an etiology of sexual dissatisfaction and possibly sexual dysfunctions and COVID-19 control measures should incorporate ways of enhancing sexual well-being.
There was perceived increase in dissatisfaction with sex which could be a pointer to the falling quality of life during COVID-19 pandemic especially among the most sexually active men aged 31-50 years living in places where COVID-19 control measures are being stringently implemented.

2020年3月,肯尼亚首次确诊新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19),随后政府实施了一系列管控措施,这些措施可能影响人们的性满意度和整体生活质量,包括出行限制、禁酒及关闭酒吧、晚上9点至次日凌晨5点宵禁、禁止政治集会以及关闭许多工作场所,并鼓励人们居家办公。
本研究旨在确定肯尼亚异性已婚个体在COVID-19出现后,其性满意度的感知和体验如何变化。
本研究为横断面调查。通过“猴子调查”软件从社会群体中虚拟收集数据。共有194名参与者回复了调查。
COVID-19之前和期间,总体性满意度以及对性交频率、性交过程、性交时间、地点和氛围的满意度差异。
大多数参与者(73.4%)报告称,在COVID-19之前他们对婚姻性生活感到满意,但当被问及COVID-19大流行期间的体验时,报告满意的比例降至58.4%。因此,在大流行期间接受调查的参与者中,41.3%报告称他们目前在性方面不满意,而在大流行之前只有26.6%报告不满意。COVID-19之前和期间的总体分布存在显著差异(χ² = 38.86,P <.001)。
应将COVID-19大流行视为性不满意甚至性功能障碍的一个病因,COVID-19防控措施应纳入提高性健康水平的方法。
人们感觉对性的不满意有所增加,这可能表明在COVID-19大流行期间生活质量下降,特别是在严格实施COVID-19防控措施地区,年龄在31至50岁之间、性活动最为活跃的男性中。奥苏尔·J、伊雷里·E·M、埃肖·T。COVID-19及其防控措施对肯尼亚已婚夫妇性满意度的影响。《性医学》2021年;9:100354。
