Objectives: The research goal was to study the relationship between the unconsummated marriage and couples’ sexual function and sexual self-disclosure. Method: A total of 18 couples selected via an accessible sampling method answered to Spouses Sexual Disclosure Scale (SSDS), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Data Analysis was by 2 test and Pearson correlation. Results: There was a positive significant relationship between unconsummated marriage and the couples’ low sexual performance and couples’ low sexual self-disclosure. The relationship between the couples’ sexual performance and their low sexual self-disclosure was not significant. Conclusion: In couples with unconsummated marriage sexual function and sexual self-disclosure are extremely low, and these variables have interactive effects over each other.
