Most Adolescents Cope with Sexual Problems: Study

Approximately 80% of sexually active adolescents have had a sexual problem in the last two years, according to a new study in the Journal of Adolescent Health. 

In addition, adolescents who are not in a relationship are about three times more likely to experience a problem.  

Researchers regularly surveyed 405 adolescents (180 men and 225 women) between the ages of 16 and 21 in Canada for two years. The participants answered a variety of questions on their overall sexual function, distress, sexual self-esteem, and history of sexual coercion, among other topics. 

About 42% of the men and 48% who reported a sexual problem said their issue was distressing.  Low desire and erection problems were common among the men; orgasm difficulties and pain troubled many of the women. Both groups felt low satisfaction at times.
