ALPHA ADRENOCEPTORS and HUMAN SEXUAL FUNCTION Alan
8 1995 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved. The Pharmacology of Sexual Function and Dysfunction J. Bancroft, editor 307 ALPHA ADRENOCEPTORS AND HUMAN SEXUAL FUNCTION Alan J Riley Field Place, Dunsmore, Buckinghamshire, HP22 6QH, UK Introduction Sexual functioning involves complex physiological processes which rely on the interplay of many central and peripheral neurotransmitter systems. Disturbances in any one of these systems might be associated with disturbed sexual function which, when recognised, may be alleviated by appropriate pharmacological manipulation, although at the present time this is more hypothesis than reality, The sympathetic nervous system is involved actively at various levels in the normal control of sexual responses. The effects of sympathetic activation are mediated by the release of noradrenaline from nerve terminals and the increased secretion of adrenaline from the adrenal medulla. These catecholamines selectively activate specific cellular sites in target tissues known as adrenoceptors (previously termed adrenergic receptors) to mediate responses. Almost fifty years ago, Alquist realised that tissue responses to catecholamines were mediated through two distinct types of receptors which he designated a and/? [1]. This review focuses on the involvement of a-adrenoceptors in human sexual functioning and dysfunction. Alpha adrenoceptors are located both pre- and post- synaptically and they were classified as either ar or af adrenoceptors according to location; or, being postsynaptic and az presynaptic. This classification continues to be used in some texts. However, as highly specific and selective pharmacological tools became available, this locational subclassification is found not always to be appropriate. Nowadays, classification of a-adrenoceptors is more appropriately based on pharmacological activity and additional subtypes of a-adrenoceptors have been identified by radioligand binding and molecular biological techniques [2]. -

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO STATE OF OHIO : Plaintiff : CASE NO. 2014 CR 00368 vs. : Judge McBride ADAM PATRICK CHRISTMAN : DECISION/ENTRY Defendant : Carol A. Rowe, assistant prosecuting attorney for the State of Ohio, 76 S. Riverside Drive, 2nd Floor, Batavia, Ohio 45103. Rapp Law Office, Joshua R. Crousey, counsel for the defendant Adam Patrick Christman, One E. Main Street, Amelia, Ohio 45102. This case came before the court for trial on January 20, 2015.

The FACTS About the Sex Ed Mandate Bill SB 2128: “An Act Relative to Healthy Youth”
The FACTS about the Sex Ed Mandate Bill SB 2128: “An Act Relative to Healthy Youth” This bill needlessly eliminates existing local controls over sex education curricula, exposing young children to inappropriate and offensive sexual material. There is simply NO NEED to change current law and force new standards on every school in the Commonwealth. Here’s how SB 2128 would work: 1. This is a MANDATE: According to SB 2128, every public or charter school “that offers a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum [which is the overwhelming majority of schools in MA] shall provide medically accurate, age-appropriate… education.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pg. 3, lines 37-39) (emphasis added) “Age appropriate” is vaguely defined to include the “developing cognitive, emotional and behavior capacity typical for the age or age group.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pg. 2, lines 29-31). “Medically accurate,” teachings need only be “supported by peer-reviewed research” and “if relevant, published in peer-reviewed journals.” SB 2128 Section 1 (pp. 2-3, lines 33-36) 2. BUREAUCRATS decide what is taught: The role of local parents and educators in deciding curricula is instead given to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (“DESE”). The commissioner of DESE is granted authority “to update the health curriculum framework…” SB 2128, Sec. 2 (pg 4, lines 67-70). Current law, developed in the late 1990s, allowed parents, educators and legislators to review the frameworks. Under this bill, DESE can rewrite the standards unilaterally AFTER SB 2128 is passed, effectively mandating a sex ed program that doesn’t even exist yet! 3. -

Meston, Ph.D.,2 4 and Manuel Worcel, M.D.3 Received August 17, 2001; revision received November 30, 2001; accepted December 31, 2001 This study examined the effects of the nitric oxide-precursor L-arginine combined with the 2-blocker yohimbine on subjective and physiological sexual arousal in postmenopausal women with Female Sex- ual Arousal Disorder. Twenty-four women participated in three treatment sessions in which self-report and physiological (vaginal photoplethysmograph) sexual responses to erotic stimuli were measured following treatment with either L-arginine glutamate (6 g) plus yohimbine HCl (6 mg), yohimbine alone (6 mg), or placebo, using a randomized, double-blind, three-way cross-over design. Sexual responses were measured at approximately 30, 60, and 90 min postdrug administration. The com- bined oral administration of L-arginine glutamate and yohimbine substantially increased vaginal pulse amplitude responses to the erotic film at 60 min postdrug administration compared with placebo. Sub- jective reports of sexual arousal were significantly increased with exposure to the erotic stimuli but did not differ significantly between treatment groups.

Ong: Finding the Clitoris: Societal Clitoridectomies Created from Push Finding the Clitoris: Societal Clitoridectomies Created from Pushing (for) the G-spot in the 20th and 21st Centuries Giannina Ong Men have struggled to comprehend the realities of women’s sexual pleasure, despite having sexual relations with women since the beginning of time. The prevailing androcentric model of sex focuses on the promotion of male pleasure, specifically ejaculation, a necessary component of reproduction. Women’s pleasure and biological reproduction is then either completely misconstrued or construed to be an accessory to the same reproductive acts. At one point in time, the belief was that both the man and woman had to orgasm to successful produce a child; moreover, the one-sex and the androcentric model combined has allowed psychologists and biologists to conceptualize women’s sexual anatomy as reciprocal to men’s. -

Sexual Arousal: Similarities and Differences Between Men and Women the Journal of Men’S Health & Gender, 1 (2-3): 215-223, 2004
Graziottin A. Sexual arousal: similarities and differences between men and women The Journal of Men’s Health & Gender, 1 (2-3): 215-223, 2004 DRAFT COPY – PERSONAL USE ONLY Sexual arousal: similarities and differences between men and women Alessandra Graziottin MD Centre of Gynaecology and Medical Sexology, Milan, Italy Abstract Sexual arousal encompasses activation of physiological systems that coordinate sexual function in both sexes and can be divided into central arousal, peripheral non-genital arousal, and genital arousal. Genital arousal leads to erection in men and to vaginal lubrication and clitoral/vulvar (vestibular bulb) congestion in women. Persisting biases in the understanding of the pathophysiology of sexual arousal are exemplified by the current differences in definitions. In men, sexual arousal disorders are identified with erectile disorders. In women, a more sophisticated set of definitions is described. It includes the subjective arousal disorder, the genital arousal disorder, the mixed arousal disorder, and the persistent sexual arousal disorder. Painful arousal, although not officially included in current nosology, should be considered. A preliminary critical consideration of similarities and differences in the definitions of arousal disorders, in the physiology of sexual arousal, in the causes of arousal disorders, and the influence of arousal disorders on satisfaction with the partner and happiness will be presented. In contrast to popular opinion, women’s arousal disorders influence their physical (OR= 7.04 (4.71-10.53) more than their emotional satisfaction (OR= 4.28 (2.96-6.20). Furthermore such disorders are reported to have a greater effect on women’s physical satisfaction (OR= 7.04 (4.71-10.53) than erectile dysfunction has on men’s physical satisfaction (OR= 4.38 (2.46-7.82).
