Abstract

Objective: To evaluate sexual satisfaction in men attending a urology service at a school hospital in the city of Goiânia/GO. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The research was carried out through questionnaires applied to 91 men attended at the urology outpatient clinic of the hospital. Two instruments were used, one socio-demographic and clinical, the other the Golombok and Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale (GRISS) male version. Descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test and G-test were performed. For all comparative tests p-value less than or equal to 0.05 was assumed as significant. Results: It was identified that sexual satisfaction is related not only to organic dysfunctions but to biopsychosocial factors. The present study identified some important factors associated with low male sexual satisfaction: they are over 60 years of age, widowed, have no religion, have a personal income between one and four minimum wages, do not have frequent leisure, do not use of internet frequently, complete / incomplete higher education, the presence of respiratory disease and the use of alcoholic beverage. Conclusion: Sexual satisfaction is of fundamental importance for the well-being of the human being. It is observed that its structuring involves biological, cultural, social and emotional aspects. This study detected a worsening of sexual function in older men and the issues surrounding their lifestyle. This is a great challenge, since it aims at increasing the life expectancy of the male population brought about by technological advances and preventive measures is a fact.
