Introduction
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is a common clinical problem that may bother women.
Aim
To provide a clear clinical pathway for the assessment and management of women presenting with symptoms of loss of sexual interest and desire (HSDD).
Main Outcome Measures
Patient self-report of sexual satisfaction and quality of life.
Methods
A multidisciplinary team of experts reviewed a clinical case summary. The contribution of physical, pharmacological, psychological, and psychiatric as well as interrelational factors as potential contributors to the condition are described.
Results
A multifactorial assessment with a combination of psychosocial, physical, and hormonal interventions may be a useful model in offering treatment pathways for symptoms of HSDD. A favorable outcome was reported.
Conclusion
Multidisciplinary teamworking that allows a thorough assessment and package of interventions is often necessary to support women with HSDD.
The present review describes the development and use of sexually explicit material in sex education within UK psychosexual therapy clinics, medical schools and also in state-maintained secondary schools with reference to interests that have shaped the provision of sex education since the early twentieth century. A short summary of published books on sex education and sexually explicit publications is included. Practical guidelines for the ethical use of sexually explicit material in sex education in medical, clinical and secondary school settings are also outlined.
This quantitative study aimed to establish patients' preferred illustrations for educative use in psychosexual therapy by comparing their responses to photographs and line drawings both depicting sexual activity. A sample of 68 subjects, divided almost equally between the sexes and between the age groups 18-40 and 41-65, attending a sexual dif culties clinic at the Porterbrook Clinic, Shef eld were recruited. Nearly all subjects felt comfortable with both types of illustration and thought that they were helpful. Roughly 70% of subjects favoured photographs over line drawing as being the most informative and useful, and most appealing. However, preference was reversed when subjects were asked which illustrations were most acceptable for keeping at home, with 52% preferring line drawings. There were no signi cant differences between the age groups in their preference choices, in contrast to previous studies which have shown older subjects less accepting of sexually explicit material than younger people.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
