Sexual well-being is an important element of sexual health in women. Sexual health is defined as safe sexual experiences free from oppression, discrimination and violence, with a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being.

In underdeveloped societies, sexual development is either suppressed or experienced negatively due to social pressure. The mainstay of sexual health includes fertility management, prevention of sexual violence, prevention of sexually transmitted infections, and sexual function, desire and arousal.

Female sexual dysfunctions are defined as when an individual experiences a clinically significant impairment in the physiological ability to respond or enjoy sexually in the presence of favorable conditions that also provide adequate and effective stimulation. Sexual sensitivity is influenced by personal, interpersonal and sociocultural factors. Therefore, a separate assessment should be made for each individual.
