TL;DR: The Natsal-3 survey as discussed by the authors assessed the distribution of sexual function by use of a validated measure, which assessed problems with individual sexual response, sexual function in a relationship context, and self-appraisal of sex life (17 items; 16 items per gender).

TL;DR: Natsal-3 provides a high quality dataset that can be used to examine trends in sexual attitudes and behaviours over the past 20 years and Comparisons with census data show the weighted sample to provide good representation on a range of respondent characteristics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on focus groups carried out in the general context of three different research projects with the common challenge of generating discussions around sensitive health topics, and they suggest that this investigative approach can elicit responses and opinions about sensitive topics, but that the dynamics of the focus group can provide data which are not generated by other research methods.

TL;DR: Reduced sexual activity and reduced satisfaction were associated with limiting disability and depressive symptoms, and reduced sexual activity was associated with chronic airways disease and difficulty walking up the stairs because of a health problem.

TL;DR: It is shown that completed non-volitional sex was mainly an experience of young age and strongly associated with a range of adverse health outcomes in both women and men, and was associated with abortion and pregnancy outcome before 18 years of age.
