The exercise of sexuality may undergo changes during pregnancy, creating insecurities and impairing sexual response. This study aims to investigate the literature on sexual dysfunction during pregnancy. For that, an exploratory bibliographic research was performed at the VHL, Lilacs, and Scielo databases using the descriptors ‘pregnancy’, ‘sexuality’, and ‘prenatal care’. Full-text articles, available online, written in Portuguese, and with affiliation in Brazil were included in the study. The results indicate that pregnancy negatively influences sexual function, directly interfering with sexual satisfaction. The presence of sexual disorders interrupting or changing any one of the phases of the sexual response lead to sexual dysfunctions. In this sense, this study reinforces the importance of the role of nurses in identifying and discussing sexual dysfunction.
