“…The retrospective results of this study of healthy married men confirmed previous evidence (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), and our preliminary results (17), that aging is associated with a mean decrease in sexual desire, sexual arousal, and activity. The subjects' reports of sexual behavior and functioning were validated by separate interviews with their sexual partners.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Roughan, Kaise, and Morley (1993) reviewed existing literature and found that the decline in sexual activity with advanced age in both sexes showed females having a more marked decline. Other studies reported similar findings (Bertstrom-Walan and Nielsen, 1990;Pfeiffer et al, 1969;Segraves and Segraves, 1995).…”

“…Two questions asked the subjects to self-report their intercourse and sexual expressive activities. Most questions on sexual activities and interests were adopted or adapted from the measures developed by Verwoerdt, Pfeiffer, and Wang (1969).…”

“…Various authors have pointed out that almost all the patients interviewed gave full and sincere answers even when the questionnaires and interviews dealt with aspects of sexual life in the elderly (38)(39)(40). Our impression is that data obtained in face-to-face interviews have been reliable.…”
