“…However, this evidence was based on non-geriatric samples and is somewhat dated. Furthermore, we found one article published in 2021 in which the authors described a case study of a young man whose masturbatory guilt (which was not assessed in our present study) contributed to the development of a depressive illness [47]. While there is not enough information in this area on geriatric populations and older women in particular, this may point to a potential dynamic link between masturbation behaviors and depression.…”

Aims: To investigate the relationships between facets of sexual activity among ethnically diverse older women and indicators of their physical pain as well as their psychosocial wellbeing. Physical pain intensity, intimate relationships quality, non-medical psychological distress, and depressive symptomatology were examined as predictors of yearly frequency of interactional sexual activity with an intimate partner and of masturbation. Study Design: Cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Psychology, California State University, Northridge, between September 2017 and December 2018. Methodology: Thirty-four older women between 50 and 84 years (M = 65.85, SD = 7.75) were recruited. Participants were reasonably fluent in English, lived independently in the community, self-identified as heterosexual, and reported being in an intimate relationship at the time of data collection. A battery of self-report measures was administered by research assistants over two sessions, on average. Results: Demographics, yearly frequency of interactional sexual activity and of masturbation, physical pain intensity, dyadic adjustment, non-medical distress, and depressive symptomatology were assessed and analyzed. An intercorrelational matrix was produced and two simultaneous multiple regressions were conducted. They revealed that dyadic adjustment was a significant and positive predictor of the yearly frequency of interactional sexual activity, holding all other predictors constant (b = 1.06, P = .02). Dyadic adjustment was not a significant predictor of yearly masturbation frequency (P = .55). Physical pain and psychological predictors were not related to yearly interactional sexual activity or masturbation frequency (Ps > .05). Conclusion: Greater dyadic adjustment and associated feelings of satisfaction with an intimate relationship predict significantly higher yearly frequency of interactional sexual activity among older women. Additional research is necessary to corroborate the present findings and identify predictors of masturbation.

“…Masturbation is considered a sin and forbidden in Islam (Assad et al, 2016 ; Inhorn, 2007 ). However, views differ on different religious beliefs in other parts of Thailand and other countries (Albobali & Madi, 2021 ; Inhorn, 2007 ). However, those who have sexual intercourse outside marriage, which goes against Islamic rules, should have a more social responsibility to protect themselves and others from contagious diseases (Singkun, 2021 ).…”

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are commonly associated with conflict areas. In Thailand, conflict situations have occurred from 2004 until the present in three Muslim-majority southernmost provinces, including Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat. However, Islam provides strict guidelines on sexuality. Therefore, those who strictly practice Islam will have lower sexual risk behavior. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between Islamic values-based sexual knowledge, sociodemographic factors, and risk for HIV/STIs among Thai Muslim army conscripts in the unrest situation area. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and July 2020. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire among 421 participants. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square were used to examine the association among variables. Results: 57.5% of Muslim army conscripts had poor sexual knowledge based on Islamic aspects, and the participants showed high-risk profiles for HIV/STIs (32.5%). Marital status, hometown, smoking and drinking status, and Islamic values-based sexual knowledge were significantly associated with the risk of HIV/STIs (p <0.05). Conclusion: Participants with poor sexual knowledge according to Islamic values, smokers, single-status, alcoholic drinkers, and non-three southernmost provinces’ hometowns had higher risks of HIV/STIs. Thus, it is suggested that nurses and public health professionals implement sexual health promotion and prevention for HIV/STIs. In addition, misperceptions of Islamic aspects toward sexual behavior should receive immediate adjustments.
