  • Summary

    Sexual function is considered a key feature of the health and personality of both women and men. Adequate sexual activity is associated with better physiological and psychological health indexes. Pregnancy poses a life crisis for pregnant women and their male partners, and changes in the physical, hormonal, psychological, social, and cultural spheres may lead to a decrease in sexual function. In this chapter we attempt to describe changes in sexual function during pregnancy from the perspective of the male. Male sexual dysfunction conditions observed in pregnancy and the postpartum period, such as erectile dysfuntion, premature ejaculation, Couvade syndrome, and paternal perinatal depression, are addressed.
