Some researches of hormonal contraception still difficult to systematically explore how these methods influence sexual functioning. This study aims to evaluate the relation of the length of use the injected contraception with sexuality on fertile women. This study is descriptive-analytic observational using a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all registered acceptors of family planning program using injected contraception in the coverage area of Puskesmas Caile in District Bulukumba. The population of this study was 72 acceptors. There were 41 subjects of research selected by simple random sampling participated in this study after signing the form of informed consent. Data collected by self-administered questionnaire was developed by the researcher based on the referred theory. Data analyzed using SPSS for Windows. The results showed that 70,7% of subject experienced declining in sexual passion. 48,3% of them had used injected contraception for at least one year and 51,7% of them had used for 2 years and more. This study proved there was no significant relationship between the length of use of injected contraception with sexuality (p=0,497>0,05), but this study found that acceptors using injected contraception tend to experience declines in sexual passion even using it for at least one year. Declining in sexual passion in long-term occurred due to hormonal changes, resulting in drying in the vagina which causes pain during intercourse and ultimately decreases sexual passion. This study suggests exploring more detailed about the effect of injected contraception on sexual passion on fertile women
