While there are emotional and relational elements to female sexual function and response, female sexual dysfunction can occur secondary to medical problems and have an organic basis. This paper addresses anatomy and physiology of normal female sexual function as well as the pathophysiology of female sexual dysfunction. Although the female sexual response is inherently difficult to evaluate in the clinical setting, a variety of instruments have been developed for assessing subjective measures of sexual arousal and function. Objective measurements used in conjunction with the subjective assessment help diagnose potential physiologic/organic abnormal- ities. Therapeutic options for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction, including hormonal, and pharmacological, are also addressed.

  • Arousing Imaginations
    Evolutionary Psychology www.epjournal.net – 2007. 5(4): 778-785 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Book Review Arousing Imaginations A review of Michael R. Kauth, (Ed.), Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality, Haworth Press, Binghamton, NY, 2006, 395 pp., $50.00 (softbound), $130.00 (hardbound) Reviewed by David Puts, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology, 424 Carpenter Building, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802. Email: [email protected] In the quarter century since Donald Symons (1979) wrote The Evolution of Human Sexuality, research in this area has flourished. Michael Kauth’s edited volume Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality (co-published as Volume 18, Numbers 2/3 and 4 2006 of the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality) is therefore a welcome addition. Kauth assembles researchers in diverse areas of human sexuality, including heterosexual mate choice, sexual arousal and olfactory preferences, but the focus is heavily upon the evolution and development of homosexuality, with five of the book’s ten chapters centering on this topic. Given that only 2-3% of men and 1-2% of women report predominantly homosexual preferences, this focus may seem disproportionate. However, the volume is intended not to cover all aspects of human sexuality but to serve as a springboard for future research, a mission that it will undoubtedly accomplish. The scholarship in the Handbook is variable but generally good. The content is often heavy on speculation and light on evidence, which would be less concerning if authors acknowledged this more openly. Instead, the chapters of the Handbook often reify “facts” that are still quite theoretical—for example, Kauth’s statement that “physical symmetry and extravagant sexual ornamentation are ‘honest’ signals of health and genetic quality” (p.

POIS can occur either after intercourse or masturbation, starting seconds to hours after having an orgasm, and can be lasted to 2 - 7 days. The prevalence and incidence of POIS itself are not certainly known. Reviews: Waldinger and colleagues were the first to report cases of POIS and later in establishing the diagnosis, they proposed 5 preliminary diagnostic criteria, also known as Waldinger's Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria (WPDC). Symptoms can vary from somatic to psychological complaints. The mechanism underlying this disease are not clear. Immune modulated mechanism is one of the hypothesis that is widely believed to be the cause of this syndrome apart from opioid withdrawal and disordered cytokine or neuroendocrine responses. POIS treatment is also not standardized. Treatments includeintra lymphatic hyposensitization of autologous semen, non-steroid anti-inflamation drugs (NSAIDs), steroids such as Prednisone, antihistamines, benzodiazepines, hormones (hCG and Testosterone), alpha-blockers, and other adjuvant medications.

  • Sexuality and Chronic Pain
    Sexuality and Chronic Pain By Judith Paice, PhD, RN, Research Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, IL Re-printed with permission from the American Chronic Pain Association Chronicle. Sexuality is a significant part of who we are as individuals, providing intimacy, affection, social interaction, and touch. We are sexual beings from the moment of birth to the end of our lives. Sexual practices and beliefs wary widely, often based upon age, gender, past experiences, as well as religious and cultural values. As a result, each person and partner defines what is considered “normal” sexual behavior. There are four phases involved in the sexual response: desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution. Desire is interest in sex, also called libido. Excitement is a state of arousal that often occurs as a result of touching and kissing. During excitement the body responds by increasing the heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. Blood flow will increase to the genitals in both men and women. In men, this results in an erection. The third phase, orgasm, is also called climax. Muscles in the genitalia contract, resulting in waves of pleasure throughout the body. Finally, resolution is the return of the body to its original state. Unfortunately, chronic pain and its treatment can impair our ability to express sexuality by altering any of the four phases. Few studies have evaluated the frequency of changes in sexual desire or function in people with chronic pain. One study of patients enrolled in chronic pain treatment programs in England found that 73 percent had some degree of sexual problems (Ambler et al.

Pregnancy is a period of many, also psychosexual, changes. The sexual needs of pregnant women are rarely discussed, and intercourse during this period seems to be a taboo. The aim of this study was to assess the sexual and life satisfaction of pregnant women. The study involved 181 pregnant women and was conducted from July to November 2018. The participants were patients of the pregnancy pathology ward, Independent Public Clinical Hospital No. 2 in Szczecin, and participants of antenatal classes. The research project was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Pomeranian Medical University, Szczecin (KB-0012/74/18). This survey-based study was performed using the self-developed questionnaire and standardized tools: the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).

  • Sexuality Development and Developmental Psychology
    Chapter 6 Sexuality Development and Developmental Psychology While most humans appear to invoke free will regarding their sexual behav- ior, their sexuality in turn often seems to subvert a great deal of this will. That is, our sexual desires, inclinations, and identity greatly influence our decisions and behavior. People tacitly accept this principle when they advocate imprisonment for individuals who commit sex crimes against children. Implicit in this involuntary commitment process is the premise that the offender will not be able to control himself or herself against committing future offenses and thus should be physically prevented from doing so. This generally accepted act of prevention applies to the most extreme and dangerous sexual behaviors. But is the violent pedophile really less in control of his sexual behavior than those individuals who exhibit socially acceptable forms of sexuality? Or, is it that most of the population enacts a sexual- ity that is no more under control but considered a normative part of both nature and society? In essence, the issue is—regardless of the sexual behavior that an individual engages in—whether he or she is ultimately in control of that behavior. Wine connoisseurs often encourage the uninitiated to educate their palates to better appreciate fine wines. In doing so, they are encouraging people to suppress their innate aversion to what is essentially rancid grape juice with a bit of alcohol. With repeated exposure to the initially repellant properties of the wine, and with the guidance of an expert identifying specific hedonic properties, an individual can come to identify what is deemed to be a desirable wine.

  • Disorders of Ejaculation: an AUA/SMSNA Guideline - American Urological Association
    02.07.2020 Disorders of Ejaculation: An AUA/SMSNA Guideline - American Urological Association Home Guidelines Clinical Guidelines Disorders of Ejaculation Disorders of Ejaculation: An AUA/SMSNA Guideline Panel Members Alan W. Shindel MD, Stanley E. Althof, Ph.D., Serge Carrier, MD, Roger Chou, MD, FACP, Chris G. McMahon, MD, John P. Mulhall, MD, Darius A. Paduch, MD, Ph.D., Alexander W. Pastuszak, MD, Ph.D., David Rowland, Ph.D., Ashely H. Tapscott, MD , Ira D. Sharlip MD. Executive Summary Ejaculation and orgasm are distinct but simultaneous events that occur with peak sexual arousal. It is typical for men to have some control over the timing of ejaculation during a sexual encounter. Men who ejaculate before or shortly after penetration, without a sense of control, and who experience distress related to this condition may be diagnosed with Premature Ejaculation (PE). There also exists a population of men who experience difficulty achieving sexual climax, sometimes to the point that they are unable to climax during sexual activity; these men may be diagnosed with Delayed Ejaculation (DE). While up to 30% of men have self- reported PE, few of these men have an ejaculation latency times (the time between penetration and ejaculation) of less than two minutes, making the actual prevalence of clinical PE and DE less than 5%.1, 2 Regardless, the experience of many clinicians suggest that the problem is not rare and can be a source of considerable embarrassment and dissatisfaction for patients. Data on the prevalence of DE are more limited, but a proportion of epidemiological studies report that men have difficulty achieving orgasm.3 Disturbances of the timing of ejaculation can pose a substantial impediment to sexual enjoyment for men and their partners.

Libido is the sex drive. It is the necessary forerunner of sexual fantasy, arousal and sexual enjoyment. Low libido is a serious condition because it can diminish psychological health and well-being, and impacts on personal relationships. Low libido can be extremely well managed with appropriate treatment. Often women are too shy or feel uncomfortable discussing issues relating to sexual function, including low libido, and they may experience unfulfilling sexual and personal relationships as a result. How is Libido Classified? Every woman can experience short-term, intermittent disinterest in sex due to fatigue, acute illness, or stress. True low libido is a persistent, enduring disorder causing personal distress. There are four distinct medical classifications of female sexual dysfunction that result in low libido: Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) - The woman lacks sexual fantasies, has little or no sexual thoughts or inclination towards sexual activity of any kind or she is unreceptive to sexual activity.
