Abstract
A cross-sectional, anonymous telephone survey was conducted to examine sexual problem (SP) among sexually active, Chinese homosexual adults in Hong Kong. Of the homosexual respondents, 49.1% of males and 75.6% of females reported at least one SP, of whom 36.0 and 65.7% of the males and females, respectively, felt very bothered by the SP. The prevalence of SP ranged from 3.6% (pain) to 21.8% (premature orgasm) for men and from 16.9% (anxiety) to 39.3% (lubrication problems) for females. Female homosexuals were less likely to be satisfied with their sex life and more bothered by an SP than heterosexual females and homosexual males. There were few significant differences between homosexual and heterosexual males. Female homosexuals were also more likely than male homosexuals to experience lack of orgasm and pain during intercourse. Being bothered by SP was associated with erectile dysfunction among homosexual men and lubrication problems and lack of pleasure among the homosexual women.
