Abstract
This study investigated sexual dysfunction and selected related characteristics attributed to female adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs). Using a variety of established measures, data were collected on 30 female ACOAs and 30 non-ACOA control subjects from the general population. The results indicated that female ACOAs manifested lower self-esteem, more distrust, and more sexual dysfunction, compared to the control subjects. These findings provide strong empirical evidence that female ACOAs may be at high risk for experiencing sexual problems
