This research study investigates the sexual aversive syndrome in women. Fifty-five subjects participated in this research study; 20 were diagnosed as aversive and 35 were screened into the non-aversive group. The two groups were compared on three dimensions: 1) Anxiety, 2) Self-Concept, and 3) Social-Sexual information. The results clarify the clinical profile and offer insight into the behavior of the sexually aversive female. The groups differed significantly on both Anxiety and Self-Concept profiles. Social-Sexual variables added behavioral information on the difference between groups. Results from this study indicate that sexually aversive women experience acute anxiety, have difficulty with identity and self-acceptance, and experience consistent pressure from mate to perform sexually. Additionally they feel communication interaction with their partner is inadequate, express feelings that their genitals and body are unattractive, and participate in sexual activity 50 percent of the time to avoid hassles.
