Wolfe, PhD, RBC Chair in Children’s Mental Health, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, University of Toronto, ON The basic objective of this series is to provide therapists with practical, evidence-based treatment guidance for the most common disorders seen in clinical practice – and to do so in a “reader-friendly” manner. Each book in the series is both a compact “how-to” reference on a particular disorder for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, as well as an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. The most important feature of the books is that they are practical and “reader-friendly:” All are struc- tured similarly and all provide a compact and easy-to-follow guide to all aspects that are relevant in real-life practice. Tables, boxed clinical “pearls,” marginal notes, and summary boxes assist orienta- tion, while checklists provide tools for use in daily practice. This document is for personal use only.

Preface The past decade has witnessed increased interest in and research on sexual problems in both men and women. At the same time, new pharmacological solutions to male sexual dysfunctions have become available, and a number of new agents are currently under investigation. These developments are, of course, not independent of one another, but in the course of these develop- ments, two things have become apparent: (1) We are still far from having a complete understanding of basic human sexual response, let alone sexual dysfunction. For example, we do not under- stand why some men seem unable to control or delay their ejaculation, or why other men are particularly vulnerable to developing “performance anxiety,” while others do not quickly lose their erections as a result of experiencing a sexual problem. (2) Contrary to speculation that psychosexual counseling would become obsolete (given this pills-for-better-sex decade), its role has actually become better understood and defined. If nothing else, this decade has taught us that although pills can help fix the body and genitals, psychosexual counseling is needed to help heal both the person and the relationship. This book is written for a broad audience that includes not only nonspecial- ist therapists, clinicians, and even physicians whose patients/clients raise con- cerns about their sexual well-being, but also for patients/clients themselves and their partners. Although some sexual problems invariably require the attention of a specialist, many others can be handled adequately by the nonspecialist as- suming (1) he or she already has training as a therapist or clinician and (2) he or she has acquired a reasonably broad understanding of men’s sexual dysfunc- tions – their etiologies, diagnoses, and treatments. Meeting these assumptions ensures

  • 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.

What Techniques Are Applied to Particular Dysfunctions? What Are the Current Trends in Sex Therapy? Paraphilias Fetishism Transvestic Fetishism Exhibitionism Voyeurism Frotteurism Pedophilia Sexual Masochism Sexual Sadism A Word of Caution Gender Identity Disorder Putting It Together: A Private Topic Draws Public Attention 177 178 CHAPTER 13 LECTURE OUTLINE I. 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.

Cardona Maya . 1, 2, 4 ISSN: 2395-7565 Reproduction Group, Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Medicine, University of Antioquia, © 2020, All rights reserved Medellín, Colombia. 3 www.medicinearticle.com CES University, Departament of Urology, Medellín, Colombia Received: 06-08-2020 Accepted: 19-09-2020 Abstract Prostatitis and premature ejaculation are urological problems that impact sexual and reproductive health in males frequently. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the relationship between premature ejaculation and prostatitis. A narrative review literature was performed in the PubMed and SCOPUS databases. The most relevant aspects of the etiology of premature ejaculation were detailed, and the causal relationship between prostatitis and premature ejaculation was explored. Treatment should consider the pathophysiology and diagnosis; this is a significant challenge for the urologist. A total of 45 original articles were compiled in a table within the main findings. Both alterations are associated with a decrease in the quality of life and have a negative impact on the couple's relationship. The timely treatment offers improvement or complete recovery for the patients. Keywords: Prostatitis, Premature ejaculation, Chronic pelvic pain syndrome, Fertility. INTRODUCTION Prostatitis and premature ejaculation (PE) are highly frequent genitourinary problems that negatively affect the quality of life of men and their partners, causing anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and even fertility problems [1].

Abstract The role of personality traits in sexual complaints and dysfunctions is ever more evident. However, the literature is very scarce as to the possible relationships between such personality traits and specific sexual dysfunctions like ED, PE or both, their subtypes as to time of onset and severity levels. The main aim of the present study was to investigate if Neuroticism and Extraversion have different roles and trends in men suffering from PE and/or ED, both lifelong and acquired. Moreover, we verified if, by adopting DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing PE, some differences emerged in percentages of diagnosed cases.

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.

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.

ON VOYEURISM: BEING SEEN ON THE MODERN STAGE by MEGAN MOBLEY (Under the Direction of Dustin Anderson) ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, playwrights grew more interested in exploring the ramifications of the gaze, looking and being looked at. For existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, the gaze causes a never-ending battle between our subjective selves, how we view ourselves, and our objective selves, or how others view us. The knowledge of the Other’s gaze allows us to self- reflect on our own existence. Sartre and Oscar Wilde each incorporate the gaze into their plays to explore the battle between our subjective and objective selves, gendered perception, differences in perception, and to undercut or demonstrates the dominant structures of seeing. By first exploring Sartre’s No Exit, I can observe how Sartre’s three main characters demonstrate Mulvey’s theories of the male gaze, a structure of looking which is influenced by the dominant social order.
