One in two women that call a sex help line for advice complain of reduced sexual appetite, while some 50 percent of men report having erection problems, according to data released yesterday.

Thanos Askitis, president of the Hellenic Association of Mental and Sexual Health, said that women who called their help line in the last year were not only inquiring about their own problems but also those of their partners.

More than four in 10 callers are university graduates, with the majority employed in the private sector.

“Perhaps this group of professionals experiences the most stress, while graduates are more demanding and stricter in sex,” said Askitis.

Men between the ages of 30-39 were the most common among male callers, while women between the ages of 40-49 reported the most complaints.
