Although ED is a benign disorder, it affects physical and psychosocial health and has a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) of sufferers and their partners. There is increasing evidence that ED can be an early mani- festation of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease; thus, ED should not be regarded only as a QoL issue but also as a potential warning sign of cardiovascular disease includ- ing lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, hypercholesterolaemia, and the metabolic syndrome. The risk of ED may be reduced by modifying these risk factors, particularly taking exercise or losing weight. Another risk factor for ED is radical prostatec- tomy (RP) in any form (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) because of the risk of cavernosal nerve injury, poor oxygenation of the corpora cavernosa, and vascular insufficiency. 130 Male Sexual Dysfunction Diagnosis and work-up Basic work-up The basic work-up (minimal diagnostic evaluation) outlined in Fig. 1 must be performed in every patient with ED. Due to the potential cardiac risks associated with sexual activity, the three Princeton Consensus Conference stratified patients with ED wanting to initiate, or resume, sexual activity into three risk categories.

Erectile dysfunction is the most frequent sexual problem, with a prevalence of 30–50% even in men <40 years of age, but other issues such as loss of libido and ejaculatory disorders should not be overlooked. Peculiar factors related to HIV infection (e.g., fear of virus transmission, changes in body image, HIV-related comorbidities, HIV distress and stigma), alongside classical factors non-related to HIV, should be considered when approaching sexual problems in HIV patients. For this reason, the diagnostic and therapeutic workout of sexual dysfunction in the context of HIV requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving specialists in both infectious diseases and sexual medicine. This narrative review presents an overview of current knowledge on sexual dysfunction in HIV men, deepening the factors driving and taking part in these issues, providing advice for the clinical approach, and underlining the importance of caring for sexual health to improve the quality of life of HIV patients.

  • Delayed Ejaculation* Cal Disease May Also Play a Role in DE
    Patient Highlights JSMInformation about sexual health issues & treatments © 2013 International Society for Sexual Medicine What Causes DE? Physical causes may account for DE, as any procedure or disease that disrupts the nervous systems path to the genitals (spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, pelvic-region surgery, severe diabetes, alcoholism, etc.) has the potential to inter- fere with ejaculation and orgasm. It is frequently useful for a doctor to conduct a physical examination and medical history that may identify problems (such as reversible ure- thral, prostatic, epididymal, and testicular infections) as well as hormonal (androgen, etc.) contributory factors. A number of drugs may cause DE. Common culprits include drugs for high blood pressure, antidepressants, antipsychotic drugs, and some drugs that are used to treat prostate growth or baldness. Decreased sensation of the penis (often associated with aging) may also be a factor. Finally, there is increasing evidence that some men have natural variation in their ejacu- lation latency (how long they last during sex) and this may lead to DE-like problems for some couples. What Biological Factors may Play a Role in DE? Many believe that DE is a neurobiological variation of a “normal” ejaculatory statistical distribution curve. It is known from studies in animals as well as humans from around the world that there is a great variation between couples in how long sexual intercourse lasts. Some of these differences may be cultural, but there is increasing evidence that predisposing genetic factors have an effect on the speed and ease of ejaculation by modulating brain chemicals and a variety of biological mechanisms that control ejaculation.

Leuven) ° Department of Psychiatry and Institute for Family and Sexological Sciences " Department of Endocrinology - Andrology Unit Herestraat 49 - B 3000 Leuven, Belgium dedicated to dr. Hugo De Cuyper (18.1.1946 - 13.9.1994) Introduction Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs : fluvoxamine -Floxyfral® or Fevarin®-, fluoxetine -Prozac®-, sertraline - Serlain® or Zoloft®-, paroxetine -Seroxat® or Paxil®- and citalopram -Cipramil®-) are potent and competitive inhibitors of the high affinity neuronal re-uptake mechanism for serotonin. These drugs also inhibit the re-uptake of noradrenaline and, generally to a lesser extent, dopamine, at higher concentrations. Paroxetine is the most potent serotonin uptake inhibitor in vitro of the drugs investigated, and citalopram is the most selective inhibitor of serotonin re-uptake, with paroxetine being more selective than fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and sertraline. Of the drugs investigated, only sertraline is a more potent inhibitor of dopamine compared with noradrenaline uptake. SSRIs are not only as effective as the tricyclic antidepressants in the treatment of major depression but are also effective in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, eating disorders and premenstrual syndrome (1). Although the latency of onset to therapeutic response seems to be somewhat longer, most psychiatrists consider SSRIs the initital drug of choice in the treatment of depressive disorders. Indeed, these drugs are usually better tolerated since they do not produce muscarinic, histaminic and alpha adrenergic side effects.

  • Psychosexual Therapy for Delayed Ejaculation Based on the Sexual Tipping Point Model
    Review Article Psychosexual therapy for delayed ejaculation based on the Sexual Tipping Point model Michael A. Perelman Human Sexuality Program, NY Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, USA Correspondence to: Michael A. Perelman. 70 E 77th St., New York, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The Sexual Tipping Point® (STP) model is an integrated approach to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of men with delayed ejaculation (DE), including all subtypes manifesting ejaculatory delay or absence [registered trademark owned by the MAP Educational Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity]. A single pathogenetic pathway does not exist for sexual disorders generally and that is also true for DE specifically. Men with DE have various bio-psychosocial-behavioral & cultural predisposing, precipitating, maintaining, and contextual factors which trigger, reinforce, or worsen the probability of DE occurring. Regardless of the degree of organic etiology present, DE is exacerbated by insufficient stimulation: an inadequate combination of “friction and fantasy”. High frequency negative thoughts may neutralize erotic cognitions (fantasy) and subsequently delay, ameliorate, or inhibit ejaculation, while partner stimulation (friction) may prove unsatisfying. Assessment requires a thorough sexual history including inquiry into masturbatory methods. Many men with DE engage in an idiosyncratic masturbatory style, defined as a masturbation technique not easily duplicated by the partner’s hand, mouth, or vagina. The clinician’s most valuable diagnostic tool is a focused sex history (sex status). Differentiate DE from other sexual problems and review the conditions under which the man can ejaculate. Perceived partner attractiveness, the use of fantasy during sex, anxiety- surrounding coitus and masturbatory patterns require meticulous exploration.

  • The Potential Associations of Pornography Use with Sexual Dysfunctions: an Integrative Literature Review of Observational Studies
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review The Potential Associations of Pornography Use with Sexual Dysfunctions: An Integrative Literature Review of Observational Studies Aleksandra Diana Dwulit and Piotr Rzymski * Department of Environmental Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-806 Poznan, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-61854-7604 Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 24 June 2019; Published: 26 June 2019 Abstract: This paper reviews the associations between pornography use and sexual dysfunction based on evidence from observational studies. The existing data in this regard mostly derive from cross-sectional investigations and case reports. There is little if no evidence that pornography use may induce delayed ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, although longitudinal studies that control for confounding variables are required for a full assessment. The associations between pornography use and sexual desire may differ between women and men although the existing data is contradictory and causal relationships cannot be established. The strongest evidence is available for the relation of pornography use with decreased sexual satisfaction, although the results of prospective studies are inconsistent. The paper outlines future research prospects beneficial in understanding the nature of associations between pornography use and sexual dysfunctions in men and women. Keywords: pornography; sexual dysfunction; erectile dysfunction; delayed ejaculation; sexual desire; sexual satisfaction 1. Introduction The existing literature provides a number of varying descriptions of the term pornography. According to the Final Report of the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography, it can be defined as any material that is predominantly sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal [1]. Currently, pornography represents an important economic venture [2,3].
