Abstract
- This article summarizes the current state of research on Sexual Quality of Life (SexQoL) of adults with 46,XY Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)/Intersexuality. An extensive literature search yield 21 studies published between 1974-2007, examining sexual aspects in individuals with 46,XY DSD. However, many of them lack methodological quality. The results are inconsistent but overall indicate that SexQoL of individuals with 46,XY DSD is impaired, particular with regard to sexual dysfunctions and sexual satisfaction. Future studies on SexQoL should focus more on qualitative aspects of sexuality and investigate medical and psychosocial risk factors such as sex-corrective surgery and parental bonding.
