Results: Between 10% and 60% of obese women have sexual dysfunctions, the main ones are lack of desire, excitement and difficulty reaching orgasm, triggering inactivity and sexual dissatisfaction. There is also a relationship between obesity, dissatisfaction with body image and low self-esteem; as a result, pictures such as depression, anguish, stress, anxiety about sexual performance are triggered, which causes negative thoughts. Negative self-image is also related to the little participation they have in sexual encounters, causing a disconnection with their body which does not allow them to recognize their emotional or sexual needs.
Conclusion: The sex life of obese women provides a challenge to investigate, since it involves the entire biopsychosocial dimension of the human being is involved. It is important that the approach of these users is multidisciplinary.
