You may remember times when it was completely inappropriate to have an erection; and yet you couldn’t wish it away.Sexual arousal usually isn’t always voluntary.No. 2: Your Penis May Be a ‘Grower’ or a ‘Show-er’Among men, there is no consistent relationship between the size of the flaccid penis and its full erect length.No. 3: Your Penis Is Shaped Like a BoomerangYour penis is shaped like a boomerang.

These apply equally to heterosexual, gay, lesbian and bisexual people.Development of sexual disorders:Sexual difficulties may begin early in a person’s life, or they may develop after an individual has previously experienced enjoyable and satisfying sex.A problem may develop gradually over time, or may occur suddenly as a total or partial inability to participate in one or more stages of the sexual act. The causes of sexual difficulties can be physical, psychological, or both.Emotional factors affecting sex include both interpersonal problems and psychological problem...

Texas researchers  studied 200 women ages 35 – 55 over a 12-week period. Fifty of those women, were given a placebo (sugar pill)  instead of a drug treatment for low sexual arousal. One third of the women who took a placebo showed an overall improvement!  The other 2/3 need to come over to the medical clinic and get their hormones looked at:  www.pbpmed.com. Scientists are now using brain scanners to peer into the heads of patients who respond to sugar pills, and have discovered that the placebo effect is not “all in patients’ heads” but rather, in their brains.

A new comer to recovery once asked me that question, ‘What is sexual satisfaction – sober?’ Well my response was very general, knowing that sober sexual satisfaction can be very different from being drunk. Individual Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes "good sex", experiencing sex and their own sexuality in unique ways. And while pleasure and orgasm can certainly play a big part in the equation, attaining an overall sense of sexual satisfaction in life can often require a lot more. Here’s how Canadian researchers MacNeil and Byers describe it: "Sexual satisfaction is not just physical pleasure, nor is it simply the absence of dissatisfaction or problems. Rather, sexual satisfaction involves the overall feeli...

They are calling for a nearly complete overhaul of the sleep disorders category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (“DSM”). According to a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in May, Charles Reynolds, MD, suggested that the reworking of this category will make sleep problems easier for professionals to diagnose and discriminate between different sleep disorders. He stated that the current DSM-IV puts too much emphasis on presumed causes of symptoms, something that the rest of the DSM-IV does not do. Bringing the sleep disorder section more in line with the other sections in the DSM should make it less confusing. Primary and commonly diagnosed sleep diso...

Orgasms are elusive for many women, and there are endless books, videos, tools, and theories about how to get sexual satisfaction. Beyond coregasm workouts, which supposedly make you actually climax at the gym, there are also tons of exercises designed to build confidence, stamina, and actual pelvic muscles to help you reach Cloud 9.

While drinking or drugging sexual arousal may have ceased, been dormant, been inconsistent or excessive. In almost all cases women have questions about their arousal and how it affects their sexuality. In most cases a chat with a female doctor, sex therapist or a visit to a sexual health clinic will be fruitful. Women have 3 types of sexual arousal. These are; spontaneous sensations of genital arousal that are appraised as mildly pleasurable; persistent feelings of genital arousal that are experienced as mildly distracting but not especially unwelcome or bothersome; and continuous, intense, and persistent genital arousal that is extremely distracting, distressing, and worris...

Sexuality may be very different in recovery and some people may have many questions about their sexual functions. Sexual dysfunction is the persistent or recurrent inability to react emotionally or physically to sexual stimulation in a way expected of the average healthy person or according to one’s own standards of acceptable sexual response. Sexual dysfunction can occur during the desire, excitement, plateau, or orgasm stage of the sexual response cycle. For example, one of the most common dysfunctions is inhibited arousal during the excitement stage. This presents as ...

When women are stressed-out, they get depressed or anxious. When men are stressed-out, they drink: As part of a larger study, the researchers exposed 54 healthy adult social drinkers (27 women, 27 men) to three types of imagery scripts — stressful, alcohol-related, and neutral/relaxing — in separate sessions, on separate days and in random order. Chaplin and her colleagues then assessed participants’ subjective emotions, behavioral/bodily responses, cardiovascular arousal as indicated by heart rate and blood pressure, and self-reported alcohol craving. “After listening to the stressful story, women reported more sadness and anxiety than men,” said Chaplin,...

And, What changes as men get older? Men in recovery have the same libido as so called ‘normal’ men in their age group. That is provided there is no real damage caused by their drinking or drugging. Seeing a sexual health doctor and/or sex therapist is part of recovery for some men. Relationship counseling may also help. Older Men and Sex Men have their own set of issues that have an impact on their sexual activity. As with women, there is certainly no age limit on sex for men. However, older men generally take longer to achieve an erection, have a less firm or rigid erection, are less likely to ejaculate prematurely, and, take longer, after sex, to be p...

They, of course, would be wrong. “Just say no” doesn’t work in the heat of the moment — it only works if the person walks away from the possibility of the heat of the moment long before they can be drawn in. Why can’t teens (and even most adults) make good decisions surrounding sexuality and sexual situations when they’re occurring? It appears that humans generally make poorer decisions when under the influence of strong emotions. And what stronger emotion do most of experience outside of sexual arousal? In an experiment conducted in 2006 on male college students, researchers Dan Ariely and his coll...

And Paxil may help treat it (you can read Ed Silverman's post "Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder - A Pill, Please" to find out more about that).At first, when reading Ed's post, I thought this was about a condition affecting men.

But what is PGAD? A constant engorgement of the genitals that is unprompted by erotic thoughts or feelings, accompanied by a series of medical and psychological traits, including depression and panic attacks, at least according to one of the co-authors of a recent article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. It was first named by sex therapist Sandra Leiblum in 2001 as persistent sexual arousal syndrome, but as Leiblum and others have begun studying patients, she decided that it was more a disorder than a syndrome, writes MSNBC. Nobody knows how many women might suffer from PGAD. And the feeling of genital arousal is not always unwelcome, MSNBC notes, adding that some women like it.
