Reported sexual behavior in late pregnancy. Selected associations.
The time intervals prior to delivery both for the last reported sexual intercourse and for the last reported orgasm were considered in terms of several variables in 413 puerperas. Although there were no significant differences in the reported time of last intercourse in terms of any of the demographic factors studied, orgasm in the absence of intercourse (reported events within seven days of delivery) was relatively more common and intercourse in the absence of orgasm relatively less common in study subjects with more years of formal education (p less than 0.01). Reported sexual behavior did not differ in respect to the length of gestation at delivery, selected pregnancy complications or the immediate condition of the newborn.
