Methods: Invitation on social networks and posters for assessment of sexual function with the FSFI, SD with Female Sexual Distress Scale – Revised (FSDSr) and EI with the AES, and a sociodemographic questionnaire; associations by T-test or Chi-square. Results: Of the 39 sexually active women who answered the questions, 25.6% presented DSF, with 58.9% in the orgasm domain, 56.4% in the domains pain and excitement, 51.3% satisfaction, 43.5% desire and 41% lubrication. Age and use of hormonal contraceptives were associated with DSF. IE was inversely related to the DSF, and there was a strong association between DSF and SD.
