“…Both definitions rely substantially on the human sexual response cycle model first proposed by Masters and Johnson (1966) and further by Kaplan (1974). In both cases, the sexual response cycle was perceived as a coordination of four major phases or stages which included, a desire (libido) stage which encompasses desire to have sexual activity and sexual fantasies; an arousal (excitement) stage which consists of subjectively felt sense of sexual pleasure and related physiological changes; an orgasm phase which consists of the climax or peaking of sexual pleasure, with release of sexual tension and the rhythmic contraction of the perineal muscles and reproductive organs; and finally a satisfaction (resolution) stage, which consists of a sense of muscular relaxation and general well-being (Basson et al, 2000;De Silva, 1998).…”

Background: Sexuality is a complex phenomenon that is being influenced by psychological, nutritional as well as physiological factors. Its dysfunction includes desire, arousal, orgasmic and sex pain disorders. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD) and risk factors in a cohort of both married and unmarried female students in UDS-Tamale. Methods: The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) was administered to 150 female students independent of age (mean±SD: single (24.1 ± 2.0) and married (29.6 ± 5.2)) domiciled in UDS-Tamale campus. Results: Out of a total of 150 questionnaires administered. 93 (62.0%) females returned the questionnaires, and 79 were complete and evaluable questionnaires. This represents 52.7% response rate. From this study, the age ranges as well as the mean (SD) of the age of the participants are 20 to 42 and 27.0 ± 4.8 years respectively. The mean duration of marriage is 4.6 ± 3.4 years. Majority of the studied participants are non-smokers (97.5%), do not consumed alcoholic beverages (67.1%), do not have any chronic disease (69.6%) and do not also have any family history of any chronic disease condition (55.7%). The mean income level, BMI as well as WHR are Ghc 590.1 ±406.9, 25.6 ± 3.5 kg m-2 and 0.8 ± 0.1 respectively. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the single respondent was 67.6%. The most prevalent areas of difficulties were: infrequency 81.1%, Avoidance 64.9%, non-communication 64.9%, dissatisfaction 64.9%, anorgasmia 62.2%, non-sensuality 56.8% and vaginismus 56.8%. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the married respondent was 54.8%. Sexual dysfunction is high in both single female (67.9%) and married female (54.8%) medical students in the study. Conclusion: Married females in the study were more obese than single females, and the married-obese group was associated with high sexual dysfunction. Notwithstanding this however, the single-normal females had more sexual dysfunction compared to the married-normal females. The SD in the females appear to be contributed mostly by infrequency and avoidance in the single female group, whereas by dissatisfaction and infrequency in the married female group.

“…Consequently, the intervention programs often focus on a) educating the couple in acquiring adequate sexual knowledge and information; b) helping the couple develop and improve sexual and other communication skills in a conjoint manner with a view that the sexual dysfunction is a manifestation of a maladaptive communication pattern between the couple; and c) the modification of sexual response patterns in a collaborative effort. Such goals often are carried out by teaching the couple a series of precisely specified homework assignments (Bancroft, 1997;de Silva, 1998).…”

“…When an individual approaches for consultation without a partner, and if a partner is willing to cooperate with the therapy but not willing to come to the clinic, a remotecontrol approach is advocated where in the presenting partner acts as a communicator of instructions. In the absence of any partner, clinicians have used surrogate partners (de Silva, 1998). Such an approach has limitations due to its legal and ethical implications, especially in the era of HIV/AIDS.…”

Sexual dysfunction in single males: A perspective from India

et al. 2003

Various personal, familial, and socio-cultural factors play a crucial role in the development of sexuality and sexual practices. They often influence the occurrence and maintenance of sexual dysfunctions. Therapies with individuals with sexual dysfunctions often emphasize the involvement of both the partners. Issues related to single males, especially in the Indian context, have not been explored. The present study is a retrospective analysis of clinical case records of single males who reported sexual dysfunctions between the years 1990 to 2000. Thirty-eight clinical case records were analyzed for the demographic details, nature of the problems, and interventions provided with the aim of exploring the reported symptomatology, precipitating and maintaining factors, prevalent beliefs about the causation of sexual dysfunction, and the outcome of interventions. The role of cultural and psychosocial issues is discussed and the need for research in this area is emphasized.

This study aimed to investigate whether abortion is associated with (i) changes in attitudes and feelings towards sexual matters (erotophobia -erotophilia), (ii) sexual problems, and (iii) whether erotophobia -erotophilia and sexual problems are associated. Ninety-eight women having a first-trimester abortion were investigated together with a comparison sample of 51 nonpregnant women. Standardised questionnaires assessing sexual problems and attitudes and feelings towards sexual matters were completed by the study sample (prior to and 2 months after abortion) and the non-pregnant comparison sample. The findings indicated that attitudes and feelings towards sexual matters were similar in the study and comparison sample, and were more positive 2 months after the abortion than prior to it. More sexual problems were experienced following the discovery of the pregnancy than prior to the pregnancy or in the 2 months after abortion. Levels of sexual problems reported by the study sample prior to pregnancy and by the comparison sample were similar. Erotophobia -erotophilia and sexual problems were moderately correlated in the study sample. In conclusion, becoming pregnant did not appear to affect erotophobia -erotophilia, but having the abortion was followed by more positive attitudes and feelings towards sexual matters. Becoming pregnant had short-term negative effects on sexual relationships but these were not sustained following abortion.
