Summary/Abstract: Police officers risk being exposed to stresogenic situations because there are many factors which intensify them. Taking into consideration the frequency of stress exposure and its intensity, being a member of the police force might considered as one of the most stresogenic professions. Bearing in mind the influence of stress on sexual disorders and their intensification, a research into the relationship between stress and sexual disorders among police officers was planned. The survey was conducted among 50 police officers aged 30-35 and working for over seven years in anti-terrorist and criminal investigation and investigation departments. Erectile dysfunction, hypolibidemia and orgasmic problems are the most common sexual disorders among the respondents. The study has shown how influential the work-related stress is on the sexual life of police officers.
