Many obese women sexually active, study finds
"Doctors shouldn't assume that their overweight female patients aren't having sex, because they are, more often that women of normal weight, a new study suggests.
The study by researchers in Oregon, Hawaii and Colorado explodes "the stereotype that you have to be slender to have sex," said lead author Bliss Kaneshiro, a researcher at the University of Hawaii.
Nichole Carlson of the University of Colorado Denver was one of the co-authors of the study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. Another co-author was Kaneshiro's Oregon State University Professor Marie Harvey.
Earlier studies found that obese and overweight women are at greater risk of unintended pregnancy.
Kaneshiro wondered if that could be because these women don't get the counseling and attention from doctors that normal-weight women enjoy.
Could those doctors be assuming that there's no reason to talk about safe sex or sexually-transmitted diseases because these overweight women probably aren't having sex anyway?"
Next up, studies show some people are not into bone bruises.......

Great gods, I hope so!
Date: 2008-10-31 03:32 am (UTC)I must concur with the report that obese women don't get as good quality attention from doctors. I had a GYN try to tell me that I could not use birth control pills on account of my weight. Her office was festooned with ads for various cosmetic procedures, so I fired her and got an actual doctor.
