Prevalence and psychosocial factors associated with being bothered by nonavailability of sexual partners among Hong Kong Chinese: a population-based study.
This study investigated the prevalence of being bothered by sexual-partner non availability (SPNA), associated risk factors, and associations with mental health and sexual satisfaction using a computer-assisted telephone survey. A random sample of 3257 and 1568 Chinese male and female respondents (aged 18-59) were interviewed. Sexual partner non-availability was highest in the male nonmarried/noncohabitating group, (18.6%) and the prevalence ranged from 1.4% to 7.9% for other age-sex subgroups. Younger age and male gender were associated with SPNA. Being bothered by SPNA was significantly associated with mental health and vitality quality of life, general life satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction (OR = 1.41 to 5.21).
