“…General exclusion criteria applied to select women were lifetime or current psychiatric disorders, exposure to childhood abuse or neglect (including sexual abuse), neurologic disorders, physical disease, central nervous system or urogenital surgery, psychotropic medication within six months, sexually transmitted disease, sexual disorders (including sexual anxiety, discontent or dysfunction or dissociation during sexual activity), past or current pregnancy, and current menstruation. Exclusionary conditions were assessed using clinician-administered interviews and standard questionnaires ( Oldfield, 1971 ; Hahlweg, 1996 ; McGahuey et al, 2000 ; Berner et al, 2004 ; Kühner et al, 2007 ; Brenk-Franz and Strauß, 2011 ; Hansen et al, 2012 ; Klinitzke et al, 2012 ; Hoyer et al, 2015 ; Müller, 2016 ). Women were screened for contraindications of MRI scanning.…”

“…We assessed mean frequency of sexual intercourse per week using a standardized biographic questionnaire to quantify sexual intercourse within the past 12 months and in five-year ranges since the onset of the first sexual genital contact. As noted above, we excluded sexual anxiety, discontent or dysfunction as well as dissociation during intercourse using established questionnaires ( McGahuey et al, 2000 ; Berner et al, 2004 ; Brenk-Franz and Strauß, 2011 ; Hansen et al, 2012 ; Hoyer et al, 2015 ; Müller, 2016 ). To associate cortical thickness measures of the individually mapped genital field with data on sexual behavior, we correlated individual cortical thickness with the mean frequency of sexual intercourse per week within the past 12 months.…”

Sensory-Tactile Functional Mapping and Use-Associated Structural Variation of the Human Female Genital Representation Field

The precise location of the human female genital representation field in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is controversial and its capacity for use-associated structural variation as a function of sexual behavior remains unknown. We used a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-compatible sensory-tactile stimulation paradigm to functionally map the location of the female genital representation field in 20 adult women. Neural response to tactile stimulation of the clitoral region (vs right hand) identified individually-diverse focal bilateral activations in dorsolateral areas of S1 (BA1–BA3) in alignment with anatomic location. We next used cortical surface analyses to assess structural thickness across the 10 individually most activated vertices per hemisphere for each woman. We show that frequency of sexual intercourse within 12 months is correlated with structural thickness of the individually-mapped left genital field. Our results provide a precise functional localization of the female genital field and provide support for use-associated structural variation of the human genital cortex. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT We provide a precise location of the human female genital field in the somatosensory cortex and, for the first time, provide evidence in support of structural variation of the human genital field in association with frequency of genital contact. Our study represents a significant methodological advance by individually mapping genital fields for structural analyses. On a secondary level, our results suggest that any study investigating changes in the human genital field must map the field individually to achieve sufficient precision. Our results pave the way for future research into the plasticity of the human genital cortex as a function of normal or adverse experience as well as changes in pathologic conditions, i.e., sexual dysfunction, sexual deviation, or sexual risk-taking behavior.

“…Im Fragebogen für sexuelle Bedenken wird diesen Umständen begegnet, indem die Einschätzung der Sexualität anhand eines realen, eines vorgestellten oder eines früheren Sexpartners gemacht werden kann. Durch ein Item wird erfragt, worauf sich die Antworten beziehen [27]. Für Menschen ohne sexuelle Aktivität und für Personen ohne sexuelles Interesse erscheint eine differenzierte Einschätzung der sexuellen Zufriedenheit problematisch.…”

The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) is an internationally established questionnaire for assessing sexual satisfaction. It is based on 2 subscales (ego-centered and partner- and sexual activity-centered sexual satisfaction). The aim of the study was to evaluate the German short version of the questionnaire (NSSS-SD) in a representative sample (N=2524). In addition, relationships between sexual satisfaction and sociodemographic factors (age, sex, education) and characteristics of partnership and sexuality (relationship satisfaction, coitus frequency, number of sexual partners) were examined. The internal consistency of the NSSS-SD was excellent (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.96). The 2-dimensional structure of the long version could not be confirmed for the short version. One factor could be extracted, which explains 68.94% of the variance. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed statistically significant differences in sexual satisfaction with respect to age, education, relationship satisfaction and coitus frequency. Sex and number of sexual partners did not influence sexual satisfaction. The NSSS-SD is a reliable questionnaire of sexual satisfaction for sexually active individuals. For sexually inactive individuals, a change of the instruction or a visual analogue scale might be useful.

“…Das sexuelle Selbstwertgefühl der Männer in Deutschland war der Studie "Bindung und Sexualität" zufolge ein wenig besser als das der Frauen. Alter, Bildung, Einkommen und Partnerschaft hatten in dieser Studie keinen Einfluss auf das sexuelle Selbstwertgefühl [14].…”

“…Dies lässt vermuten, dass das sexuelle Selbstwertgefühl nicht allein durch die Erektionsfähigkeit und die sexuelle Potenz des Mannes bestimmt wird. Dass das sexuelle Selbstwertgefühl positiv mit der sexuellen Zufriedenheit korreliert, konnte bereits gezeigt werden [14].…”
