Abstract
Objective

To analyse the sexual practices, attitudes, and sexual quality of life of Riparian woman and associated factors.

Method

A cross-sectional analytical study conducted among Riparian women using the Study of Sexual Behaviour (SSB) questionnaire. A bivariate analysis and binary logistic regressions were performed to identify factors associated with sexual quality of life.

Results

A total of 138 women participated in the study (n = 138). Of the women, 34.1% and 33.3% reported pain and loss of interest during or after sex, respectively. In terms of practices during sex, women reported kissing (85.5%), cuddling (89.1%), mutual masturbation (37.2%), oral sex (34.8%), and anal sex (23.9%). However, the majority reported not using condoms during sex (63.0%). In terms of sexual quality of life, 39.9% of the women rated it as good. Higher education and early sexual initiation increase the chances of a “good” sexual quality of life.

Conclusion

Because Riparian women engage in some risky sexual behaviours, such as not using condoms, educational strategies on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections should be reinforced and incorporated in this population. This may help improve these women’s sexual quality of life.

Resumen
Objetivo

Analizar las prácticas, actitudes y calidad de vida sexual en las mujeres ribereñas, así como los factores asociados.

Método

Estudio analítico transversal realizado en mujeres ribereñas con el cuestionario Study of Sexual Behavior (SSB). Se realizó un análisis bivariado y regresiones logísticas binarias para identificar factores asociados con la calidad de vida sexual.

Resultados

Un total de 138 mujeres participaron en el estudio (n = 138). Un 34,1% y 33,3% de las mujeres informaron que sentían dolor y perdían interés durante o después de las relaciones sexuales, respectivamente. En cuanto a las prácticas realizadas durante las relaciones sexuales, las mujeres reportaron besos (85,5%), abrazos (89,1%), masturbación mutua (37,2%), sexo oral (34,8%) y sexo anal (23,9%). Sin embargo, la mayoría reportó no usar condones durante las relaciones sexuales (63%). En cuanto a la calidad de vida sexual, el 39,9% de las mujeres la calificaron como buena. La educación superior y la iniciación sexual temprana aumentan las posibilidades de una "buena" calidad de vida sexual.

Conclusión

Debido a que existen algunos comportamientos sexuales de riesgo en las mujeres ribereñas, como no usar condón, se deben intensificar e incorporar estrategias educativas en la prevención de las infecciones de transmisión sexual en esta población. Esto puede ayudar a mejorar la calidad de la vida sexual de estas mujeres.
