      ab: This study aimed to explore women's sexual function during the puerperal period. Based on a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological focus, 30 women were interviewed eight weeks after childbirth. Childbirth and puerperium modify the sexual function of women, causing issues that can be divided into the following categories: (1) the expression of sexual desire after childbirth, (2) dealing with changes that interfere in arousal, (3) changes in exploring the energy and character of the orgasm and (4) the perceptions of puerperal women of their relationships with their partners. Although sexual function was negatively perceived by women, their assessments of their relationships tended to be positive, with increased levels of emotional intimacy between partners contributing to the strength of the relationship.
