Objectives To compare the effects of vaginal hysterectomy, subtotal abdominal hysterectomy, and total abdominal hysterectomy on sexual wellbeing. Design Prospective observational study over six months. Setting 13 teaching and non-teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Participants 413 women who underwent hysterectomy for benign disease other than symptomatic prolapse of the uterus and endometriosis. Main outcome measures Reported sexual pleasure, sexual activity, and bothersome sexual problems. Results Sexual pleasure significantly improved in all patients, independent of the type of hysterectomy. The prevalence of one or more bothersome sexual problems six months after vaginal hysterectomy, subtotal abdominal hysterectomy, and total abdominal hysterectomy was 43% (38/89), 41% (31/76), and 39% (57/145), respectively ( 2 test, P = 0.88). Conclusion Sexual pleasure improves after vaginal hysterectomy, subtotal abdominal hysterectomy, and total abdominal hysterectomy. The persistence and development of bothersome problems during sexual activity were similar for all three techniques.

“…The classification of sexual disorders in the DSM has recently come under criticism (Bancroft, Graham, & McCord, 2001;Basson et al, 2000;Tiefer, 2001;Vroege, Gijs, & Hengeveld, 2001), although sexual desire is still thought to play a fundamental role in the experience of sexuality (Brezsnyak & Whisman, 2004). The DSM acknowledges the problematic lack of normative ageor gender-related data on frequency or degree of sexual desire to delineate "deficient" sexual desire, and some have suggested cutoffs for defining normal levels of sexual desire (Riley & Riley, 2000;Schover & LoPiccolo, 1982).…”

Asexuality: Classification and Characterization

The term "asexual" has been defined in many different ways and asexuality has received very little research attention. In a small qualitative study (N = 4), individuals who self-identified as asexual were interviewed to help formulate hypotheses for a larger study. The second larger study was an online survey drawn from a convenience sample designed to better characterize asexuality and to test predictors of asexual identity. A convenience sample of 1,146 individuals (N = 41 self-identified asexual) completed online questionnaires assessing sexual history, sexual inhibition and excitation, sexual desire, and an open-response questionnaire concerning asexual identity. Asexuals reported significantly less desire for sex with a partner, lower sexual arousability, and lower sexual excitation but did not differ consistently from non-asexuals in their sexual inhibition scores or their desire to masturbate. Content analyses supported the idea that low sexual desire is the primary feature predicting asexual identity.
