Women's Sexual Function Influenced by Body Image and Self-Esteem

Scientists have found links among body image, sexual self-esteem, sexual communication, and female sexual function.

The findings were reported in a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study involving 510 women in China. 

The women (average age 28) completed an online survey, answering questions about their body appreciation, sexual self-esteem, and partner communication. They also completed the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

Positive body image and sexual self-esteem were associated with better sexual function and communication, the authors reported. However, women with poor body image tended to have more sexual problems.
