Abstract | ||||
Background: social media has become an integral part of individuals' daily lives, so there is a growing need to research the impact of the use of these technologies on sexual relations. This study aimed to investigate the effect of social media use and addiction on sexual relationships in a sample of married Egyptian women. Methods: The study included 530 married women who attended the outpatient clinics at Al-Minshawy General Hospital, maternal and child care units, and through a questionnaire that was published on social media. An Arabic translated questionnaire, which the woman answered by herself, was used. Results and conclusion: Although most of the women participating in the study (77.5%) believed that the use of social media does not affect their sexual performance as well as 79.6% of the participants believed that the use of social media does not affect their sexual satisfaction, our study reported that there is a statistically significant relationship between the amount of time the participants spend on social media and their feelings of depression during the two months preceding the study. There is a highly statistically significant relationship between the amount of time the participants spend on social media and their satisfaction with their sexual life. | ||||
