In spite of results of previous studies which shows significantly higher rate of sexual dysfunction in veterans with PTSD in all domains (desire, arousal, orgasm, activity and satisfaction) these problems were not enought examined. Erectile disorder and premature ejaculation were most frequently reported problems.

Aim of the study were to examine full range of sexual functioning (sexual activity, erectile disorder, sexual desire, orgazmic disorder, dyspareunia and premature ejaculation) in veterans with PTSD. In that purpose two groups were formed: experimental group of veterans with PTSD (N=70) and control group of healty examinees (N=60).

Results show reduced satisfaction and reduced frequency of sexual activity, hypoactive sexual desire and erectile disorder in veterans with PTSD. Our results confirm results of previous studies about sexual dysfunction in veterans with PTSD.

Mentioned sexual dysfunction could be explained as results of posttraumatic stress disorder as well as comorbid diagnosis, and interpersonal relationship disturbances, problems with closeness, intimacy and partners relationship disturbance.

Results of this study show that both erectile disorder and hypoactive sexual desire disorder in veterans with PTSD, cause loss of self-confidence, reduced frequency of sexual activities as well as unsatisfaction with sexual aspects of life.
