PS-03-001 Female Sexual Pain and Quality of Sex Life: Preliminary Results of The Italian Protocol “Sexuality and Well-Being”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (GPPD) has a multifactorial aetiology and is characterized by pain during intercourse. GPPD has been shown to have a negative impact on the psychological well-being and quality of life of affected women. Many cognitive and affective variables may influence the experience of pain and associated psychosexual concerns. However, the consequences on sexual function and satisfaction have been studied very little. The goal of this study is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the sexual sphere of women who report this condition. Data were collected on 377 women (131 with sexual pain in the last 6 months and 246 without sexual pain), aged between 18 and 59 (M = 29.23; SD = 8.10). Participants completed: a socio-demographic questionnaire, FSFI, FSDS, SSS-W, SMQ-W, SDBQ-W, QCSASC-W and McGill Pain Questionnaire. Participants were recruited through snowballs technique. Women with sexual pain totalized worse scores in: sexual functioning (F(1,333)= 23.35; p < .001) and sexual satisfaction (F(1,333)= 6.38; p < .05). They obtained higher scores in personal distress (F(1,333)= 6.38; p < .01) compared to controls. Moreover, they reported a higher frequency of: failure/disengagement (F(1,324)= 9.85; p < .01) and low self body image (F(1,324)= 5.49; p < .05) thoughts, feelings of guilt (F(1,329)= 4.27; p < .05), incompetence (F(1,333)= 6.38; p < .01), difference/loneliness (F(1,327)= 9.03; p < .01) and helpless (F(1,327)= 4.05; p < .05) concerning sexual activity, than women without sexual pain.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
