在哺乳动物中，卵巢类固醇的作用影响性行为。在人类中，有几项研究考虑到排卵是否发生。AimThe study aims to investigate if a woman's sexuality changes during the week and over the menstrual cycle，and if so，in what way.MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study; 1，957异性恋女性在2004年1月至2011年12月期间参与。两个亚组，妇女有一个合作伙伴和singles.Main Outcome MeasureSexual访谈和女性性功能指数和女性性困扰量表问卷被用来排除女性性功能障碍。超声检查证实排卵的妇女入选。研究人员给女性发放日记卡，记录她们每天的性活动。雌二醇，孕酮，总睾酮，性激素结合球蛋白和游离雄激素指数的血清浓度进行了测定，在卵泡，排卵周，黄体期的月经cycle. Results 1180名妇女（年龄范围18-40岁）被列入分析。其中925人有异性恋关系，255人单身。有伴侣的女性在周末有更多的性活动，而单身女性在一周内有稳定的性活动。与有伴侣的女性相比，单身女性的性活动在排卵期较高，在月经期较低。在月经周期中的妇女，有和没有一个partner.ConclusionsOvarian类固醇调节一个女人的性活动和雄激素水平之间的线性相关性。这一点在单身女性中比在有伴侣的女性中更为明显，在有伴侣的女性中，各种非激素因素都可能起作用。
IntroductionIn mammals, the effects of ovarian steroids influence sexual behavior. In humans, there are a few studies that take into account if ovulation occurs.AimThe study aims to investigate if a woman's sexuality changes during the week and over the menstrual cycle, and if so, in what way.MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study; 1,957 heterosexual women were involved over the period January 2004-December 2011. Two subgroups were taken into consideration, women having a partner and singles.Main Outcome MeasureSexual interview and the Female Sexual Function Index and Female Sexual Distress Scale questionnaires were used to exclude women with sexual dysfunction. Women with ovulation confirmed by sonography were enrolled. Women were given diary cards on which to report their daily sexual activity. Serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, and free androgen index were measured during the follicular, periovular, and luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.ResultsOne thousand one hundred eighty women (age range 18-40 years) were included in the analyses. Of them, 925 had a heterosexual relationship and 255 were single. Women with a partner had more sexual activity during the weekend, while the singles had a constant sexual activity over the week. The sexual activity of singles was higher during the ovulatory phase and lower during menses than that of the women with a partner. A linear correlation between sexual activity and androgenic hormonal profile during the menstrual cycle in women with and without a partner was observed.ConclusionsOvarian steroids modulate a woman's sexual activity. This aspect was more evident in singles than in women having a partner, in which a variety of nonhormonal factors can have a role.
