Results
Descriptive findings regarding the sexual function and its components,
awareness of the moment, genital image and its components, and sexual
anxiety were presented in Table 1.

components, awareness of moment, genital image and its components, and
sexual anxiety
Based on the proposed model, sexual function is considered as an
endogenous variable, genital self-image and sexual anxiety as an
exogenous variable, and the awareness of the moment as a mediator. In
using the structural equation modeling method, it is necessary to
examine the assumptions before data analysis. In this research, some of
the most important assumptions of structural equation modeling method
including missing data, outlier data, multivariate normality and
multicollinearity were checked. Results showed that all the assumptions
were confirmed. Also, the results of the normality data test are
presented in Table 2. As can be seen in Table 2, the assumption of
normality for all variables was confirmed. The correlation matrix of the
research variables is presented in Table 3.
