dc.description.abstractObjective: Infertility is defined as failure of fetation in a couple at reproductive age with regular sexual intercourse at least for one year without any contraception method being used. Sexual myths are thoughts which people think they are true. Sexual myths are mostly exaggerated and false beliefs which have no scientific background. Lack of sexual knowledge and education, when combined with society's strict behaviour, taboos and restrictions about sexuality can lead to several sexual problems and sexual dysfunctions. The purpose of this study was to determine sexual myth belief level in infertile women. Method: Our study included 100 primer infertile and 78 fertile women. Participants had answered the questions of sociodemographic data form, Arizona Sexual Experience Scale -Woman form and sexual myths evaluation form. Results: The levels of belief on 9 sexual myths in 30 were significantly higher in infertile women compared to fertile women. We found that living in countryside, education, family type, blind date marriage, infertility and treatment duration have augmented belief on sexual myths. Conclusion: Belief on sexual myths has been found significantly higher in infertile women compared to fertile women. Especially low education has been found associated with higher belief levels for infertile women. It is important to get sexual education from right sources in the right time which is essential for a better sexual life and reduction in sexual myth belief levels.en_US
