  • Hypersexuality in Neurological Disorders
    HYPERSEXUALITY IN NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS NATALIE AHMAD MAHMOUD TAYIM A thesis submitted to the Institute of Neurology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University College London January 2019 Declaration of originality I, Natalie Ahmad Mahmoud Tayim, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _________________________________ Natalie Ahmad Mahmoud Tayim ii Abstract The issue of hypersexuality in neurological disorders is grossly underreported. More research has been done into sexual dysfunction (outside of hypersexuality) in neurological disorders such as erectile dysfunction and hyposexuality (loss of libido). Furthermore, in Parkinson’s disease research, most mention of hypersexuality has been in conjunction with other impulse control disorders and has therefore not been examined in depth on its own. Although in recent years hypersexuality has become more recognized as an issue in research, there is still very limited information regarding its manifestations, impact, and correlates. It is therefore important to explore this area in detail in order to broaden understanding associated with this sensitive issue. Perhaps in doing so, barriers will be broken and the issue will become more easily discussed and, eventually, more systematically assessed and better managed. This thesis aims to serve as an exploratory paper examining prevalence, clinical phenomenology, impact, and potential feasible psychological interventions for hypersexuality in patients with neurological disorders and their carers. The thesis is divided into three main studies: 1. Study I: systematic review assessing prevalence, clinical phenomenology, successful treatment modalities, implicated factors contributing to the development, and assessment tools for hypersexuality in specific neurological disorders.

SEXUAL DISORDERS AND GENDER-IDENTITY DISORDER A. Sexual behavior is a major focus of both our private thoughts and public discussions B. Experts recognize two general categories of sexual disorders: 1. Sexual dysfunctions—problems with sexual responses 2. Paraphilias—repeated and intense sexual urges and fantasies to socially inappropri- ate objects or situations C. In addition to the sexual disorders, DSM includes a diagnosis called gender identity dis- order, a sex-related pattern in which people feel that they have been assigned to the wrong sex D. Relatively little is known about racial and other cultural differences in sexuality 1. Sex therapists and sex researchers have only recently begun to attend systematically to the importance of culture and race II. SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS A. Sexual dysfunctions are disorders in which people cannot respond normally in key areas of sexual functioning 1. As many as 31 percent of men and 43 percent of women in the United States suffer from such a dysfunction during their lives 2. Sexual dysfunctions typically are very distressing and often lead to sexual frustra- tion, guilt, loss of self-esteem, and interpersonal problems 3.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Susan Pelle Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________ Director Dr. Stefanie Kyle Dunning _____________________________________ Reader Dr. Madelyn M. Detloff _____________________________________ Reader Dr. Kathleen N. Johnson _____________________________________ Graduate School Representative Dr. Emily A. Zakin ABSTRACT (DIS)ARTICULATING BODIES AND GENDERS: PUSSY POLITICS AND PERFORMING VAGINAS by Susan Pelle The vagina has metaphorically and metonymically been the body part that stands in for the category “woman” and it is this emphatic and fabricated link that imposes itself on bodies, psyches, and lives with often horrifying consequences. My goals in exploring performative and performing vaginas are many. I not only lay out how, why, and in what ways the “normal” and “abled” female body established in both dominant and mainstream discourses is, simply put, one with a specific type of vagina, but I also confront the “truth” that vaginas purport to tell about women and femininity. Ultimately, I maintain that representations of vaginas and the debates and discourses that surround them tell us something about our culture’s fears, anxieties, and hopes. Living life as abject can be painful, even unbearable, yet as individuals negotiate this life they can experience pleasure, assert agency, and express ethical and just visions of the world. The artists, writers, and performers explored in this dissertation strategically perform vaginas in multiple and disparate ways. As they trouble, resist, and negotiate “normative” understandings of vaginas, they simultaneously declare that the “problem” is not about bodies at all. The problem is not the vagina.

Heights of the patients, the flaccid and fully stretched penile lengths were measured in centimeters in both groups. Midshaft circumference in the flaccid state was recorded in group one. Penile length in the fully erect penis was measured in group two. In group one mean midshaft circumference was 8.9871.4, mean flaccid length was mean 9.371.9, and mean stretched length was 13.572.3. In group two, mean flaccid length was 7.771.3, and mean stretched length was 11.671.4. The mean of fully erect penile length after trimex injection was 11.871.5. In group 1 there was no correlation between height and flaccid length or stretched length, but there was a significant correlation between height and midpoint circumference, flaccid and stretched lengths, and between stretched lengths and midpoint circumference. In group 2 there was no correlation between height and flaccid, stretched, or fully erect lengths. On the other hand, there was a significant correlation between the flaccid, stretched and fully erect lengths.

  • Semen Arousal: Its Prevalence, Relationship to HIV Risk Practices
    C S & lini ID ca A l f R o e l s Klein, J AIDS Clin Res 2016, 7:2 a e Journal of n a r r DOI: 10.4172/2155-6113.1000546 c u h o J ISSN: 2155-6113 AIDS & Clinical Research Research Article Open Access Semen Arousal: Its Prevalence, Relationship to HIV Risk Practices, and Predictors among Men Using the Internet to Find Male Partners for Unprotected Sex Hugh Klein* Kensington Research Institute, USA Abstract Purpose: This paper examines the extent to which men who use the Internet to find other men for unprotected sex are aroused by semen. It also looks at the relationship between semen arousal and involvement in HIV risk practices, and the factors associated with higher levels of semen arousal. Methods: 332 men who used any of 16 websites targeting unprotected sex completed 90-minute telephone interviews. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. A random sampling strategy was used. Semen arousal was assessed by four questions asking men how much they were turned on by the way that semen smelled, tasted, looked, and felt. Results: 65.1% of the men found at least one sensory aspect of semen to be “fairly” or “very” arousing, compared to 10.2% being “not very” or “not at all” aroused by all four sensory aspects of semen. Multivariate analysis revealed that semen arousal was related to greater involvement in HIV risk practices, even when the impact of other salient factors such as demographic characteristics, HIV serostatus, and psychological functioning was taken into account. Five factors were found to underlie greater levels of semen arousal: not being African American, self-identification as a sexual “bottom,” being better educated, being HIV-positive, and being more depressed.

  • Spontaneous Erection and Masturbation in Equids. AAEP
    Spontaneous Erection and Masturbation in Equids Sue M. McDonnell, Ph.D.* INTRODUCTION Spontaneous erection accompanied by an activity thought to be and referred to as masturbation occurs in stallions. Spontaneous erection involves extension of the penis from the prepuce with engorgement to its full length and rigidity, in a solitary, rather than heterosexual, context. The activity known as masturbation involves rhyth- mic bouncing, pressing, or sliding of the erect penis against the abdomen achieved by rhythmic contraction of the ischiocavernosus muscles and/or pelvic thrusting (Fig. 1). With such stimulation, the glans penis usually enlarges as during copulation, and pre- sperm fluid may drip from the urethra. This behavior in horses seems analogous to spontaneous erection and masturbation noted in several other mammalian species. I-’ The significance of spontaneous erection and masturbation in horses, as in other species, is not well understood. Traditional views of spontaneous erection and mas- turbation in domestic horses follow those held for similar behavior observed in other domestic and captive wild animals. One theme is that these are aberrant behaviors, similar to other stable vices, resulting from regimentation or restricted activity of cap- tive or domesticexistence. 4-6Another theme is that spontaneous erection and mastur- bation represent an expression or “venting” of sexual frustration resulting either from inherent hypersexuality or from thwarted access to heterosexual activity. 6v7Further, it has been asserted that masturbation limits the potential fertility of an individual stal- lion by depleting semen reserves and sexual energy. Accordingly, spontaneous erec- tion and masturbation in horses are often discouraged. An array of management schemes and devices such as stallion rings, brushes, and cages have been employed to inhibit spontaneous erection and disrupt masturbation.8 Attempts to inhibit sponta- neous erection and masturbation involve considerable management effort as well as risk of genital injury to the horse.

    GUIDELINES ON MALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation (Text update April 2014) K. Hatzimouratidis (chair), I. Eardley, F. Giuliano, D. Hatzichristou, I. Moncada, A. Salonia, Y. Vardi, E. Wespes Eur Urol 2006 May;49(5):806-15 Eur Urol 2010 May;57(5):804-14 Eur Urol 2012 Sep;62(3):543-52 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Definition, epidemiology and risk factors Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to attain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sex- ual performance. 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.

  • Commentary Unprotected: Condoms, Bareback Porn, and the First Amendment
    Commentary Unprotected: Condoms, Bareback Porn, and the First Amendment Bailey J. Langnert ABSTRACT In November 2012, Los Angeles County voters passed Measure B, or the Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act. Measure B mandated condom use by all porn performers in adult films produced within county borders and created a complex regulatory process for adult film producers that included permitting, mandatory public health trainings, and warrantless administrative searches. Shortly after its passage, Vivid Entertainment filed a lawsuit to enjoin the enforcement of Measure B, arguing that the Measure violated their First Amendment right to portray condomless sex in porn. In December 2014, the Ninth Circuit upheld the district court's decision upholding the constitutionality of Measure B. Notably, the mainstream discourse surrounding the Measure B campaign, as well as the legal arguments put forth in the lawsuit, focused exclusively on straight pornography while purporting to represent all porn. As a result, an entire genre of condomless pornography went unrepresented in the discussion: bareback porn, which portrays intentional unprotected anal sex between men. Excluding bareback porn from the lawsuit represented a missed opportunityfor Vivid in its challenge of Measure B. There are several political messages underlying bareback porn unique to that genre that might have resulted in the t The author received a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall) in 2015.

  • Premature Ejaculation: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology
    2017­6­17 Premature Ejaculation: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology This site is intended for healthcare professionals Premature Ejaculation Updated: Mar 15, 2016 Author: Samuel G Deem, DO; Chief Editor: Edward David Kim, MD, FACS more... OVERVIEW Practice Essentials Premature (early) ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40 years, with 30­70% of males in the United States affected to some degree at one time or another. It has historically been considered a psychological disease with no identified organic cause. Signs and symptoms Premature ejaculation can be lifelong or acquired. With lifelong premature ejaculation, the patient has experienced premature ejaculation since first beginning coitus. With acquired premature ejaculation, the patient previously had successful coital relationships and only now has developed premature ejaculation. Patient characteristics in lifelong premature ejaculation can include the following: Psychological difficulties Deep anxiety about sex that relates to 1 or more traumatic experiences encountered during development In patients with lifelong premature ejaculation, inquire about the following: Previous psychological difficulties Early sexual experiences Family relationships during childhood and adolescence Peer relationships Work or school General attitude toward sex Context of the event (eg, marital versus nonmarital) Sexual attitude and response of the female partner Nonsexual aspects of the current relationship level of involvement of the sexual partner in treatment
