The sexual histories of 97 infertile women were collected using questionnaires. Sexual dysfunction was found to be common among them, particularly frigidity (78.4%), dyspaereunia (57.7%), difficulty with sexual arousal (20.6%) and difficulty in achieving orgasm (20.6%). These could affect sexual acceptance and subsequently coital frequency, thus complicating their infertility problem further. Hence, there is the need of addressing these issues when managing these patients.
