In addition, these individuals with PGAD\/GPD symptoms also reported significantly worse sexual functioning (arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain), and they were significantly more distressed about each aspect of their sexual functioning difficulties compared to those in the control group. Among the small sample of individuals with penises (N = 11), descriptive analyses revealed that total sexual functioning scores did not differ across the PGAD\/GPD symptom and control groups. In addition, 64.5% of the total sample with PGAD\/GPD symptoms managed unwanted genital arousal by avoiding sex with their partner, while 55.3% managed their symptoms by having sex with their partner, and some individuals with PGAD\/GPD used both strategies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The finding that PGAD\/GPD symptoms impact relationships indicates that treatment for PGAD\/GPD should include consideration of the well-being of one\u2019s intimate relationship(s).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Strengths &amp; Limitations<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study added to the small literature on experiences of PGAD\/GPD in relationships, and it was the first to assess sexual satisfaction.
