Whether we realize it or not, we are constantly sensing and processing signals from our bodies. For example, we may be consciously or subconsciously aware of our heartbeat, breathing, hunger, thirst, temperature (i.e., feeling too hot or too cold), or our need to go to the bathroom. The process of perceiving these body cues to better understand the state of the body is known as interoception.

The Impact of Deep Endometriosis on Sexual Function Before and After Surgery

Endometriosis is a condition that affects women who have menstrual periods and can cause painful intercourse, heavy periods, and infertility, among other symptoms. It occurs when tissue similar to the tissue that lines the uterus (the endometrium) begins to grow outside of the uterus. Because this tissue behaves like the endometrium, it thickens and breaks down each month during a woman’s menstrual cycle, just like the tissues in her uterus. However, because it does not have a means of exiting the body, it irritates the surrounding tissues, creating scar tissue, causing pelvic pain, and sometimes resulting in cysts and/or adhesions (the term for when separate organs become stuck together).

What Is Congenital Penile Curvature and How Does It Differ from Peyronie’s Disease?

Congenital penile curvature (CPC) and Peyronie’s disease (PD) are two conditions which can lead to penile curvature. Although the curvature itself may appear similar at times, the two conditions are very different in many ways. In men with CPC, curvature is often first noted during the teenage years. It is currently not known if the condition is present since birth in all cases, or if it develops during puberty in some men. Congenital penile curvature is a rare condition that is estimated to affect less than 1% of men.

Addressing the Sexual Health of Patients with Urologic Conditions

Most health care providers in a urologic practice are well aware that urologic conditions and sexual issues often go hand in hand. Conditions such as urologic cancers and lower urinary tract symptoms can impact a person’s sexual function, sexual desire, and ability to enjoy sex. Even so, a recent study of urologic oncologists revealed that 75% of the providers surveyed did not routinely address their patients’ sexual function during visits.

What Is Lichen Sclerosus?

Lichen sclerosus is a rare skin condition that usually occurs in the genital or anal area. It creates white, patchy areas of skin that may be thinner and tighter than other areas of skin.

Exploring Body Image, Eating Disorders, and Sexual Dysfunction

Past research has indicated that eating disorders and sexual disorders are more prevalent in women than in men. Moreover, eating disorders and sexual disorders have been shown to co-occur in individuals, meaning that a person can have both conditions at the same time. (When two or more medical conditions occur in an individual at the same time, they are known as comorbid conditions).

How Sex Changes With Age

Those who believe that sex ceases to play a significant role in people’s lives as they age may want to reconsider their opinion. A 2017 national survey of senior citizens conducted at the University of Michigan revealed that 40% of men and women between the ages of 65 to 80 are still having sex. For those who were in relationships, this rate rose to 54%. Sixty-one percent of the survey participants indicated that sex is still an important factor in their quality of life.

Are Sexual Dysfunction and Urinary Symptoms Related?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) are complex conditions that negatively impact one’s ability to experience satisfying, consensual sexual activity.

The Gynogram: Paving the Way for Better Postmenopausal Sex?

A woman’s body undergoes several major changes over the course of her lifetime, many of which can have an impact on her sexual health and overall wellbeing. For example, when a woman enters menopause, her estrogen levels and those of her other steroid hormones decrease. This can lead to changes in her vulvar and vaginal tissues that can result in vaginal dryness, less vaginal elasticity, and burning or pain during sexual intercourse – a condition known as vulvo-vaginal atrophy (VVA)/genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).

What Is Interstitial Cystitis?

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition that causes pain, pressure, and/or discomfort in the bladder. Although IC is not caused by an infection, its symptoms may feel like a bladder infection. To be considered IC, symptoms must persist for at least six weeks. Sometimes, when a person is experiencing bladder pain but there are no visible abnormalities in the organ, the condition is referred to as painful bladder syndrome (PBS). Together, IC and PBS are classified under the umbrella term: bladder pain syndrome (BPS).

Medicaid Coverage of Transgender Transition-Related Health Care by State

As anyone who has ever tried to navigate health care coverage can attest, it is all too often a frustrating, fruitless endeavor characterized by multiple phone calls, numerous transfers, and invariably long hold times.

Rare Disorders of Painful Nocturnal Erection

For individuals suffering from a condition that affects their sexual function, receiving an accurate diagnosis is an important first step in the process of pursuing treatment. This may seem simple, but unfortunately, many sexual disorders have overlapping symptoms and manifest themselves in similar ways, sometimes making it difficult to identify the root of the problem. Stuttering priapism (SP) and sleep-related painful erection (SRPE) are two rare disorders that have similar symptoms and can cause painful erections at night, but they are distinct conditions that should be managed and treated in different ways.

A Versatile Sex Life May Increase Sexual Satisfaction for Women With Endometriosis

For women who suffer from chronic pelvic pain due to endometriosis, non-coital sexual activities such as petting and oral sex may provide an effective alternative to penile-vaginal sex for reaching orgasm and achieving a more satisfying sex life. In a recent study that surveyed 868 women from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria (434 women with endometriosis and 434 women who were part of a control group), researchers found that although the women with endometriosis were less likely than those in the control group to reach orgasm during sexual intercourse, there was no significant difference in orgasm rates during masturbation and non-coital partnered activities between the two groups of women.

Most Men Like Their Penile Implants

Mention a penile implant to a man with erectile dysfunction (ED), and you might get a squeamish look. The idea of having surgery on his private parts is likely to make any man squirm.

Do Orgasms Change Over Time?

Communication, Sexual Self-Esteem Important for Women’s Orgasms

Back in December, we started covering an interesting Finnish study about women’s orgasms. A team of researchers compiled the results of five different sex surveys taken over four decades starting in the early 1970s. Over 10,000 men and women participated, and the researchers focused on women’s orgasms. They published their findings in October 2016 in the journal Socioaffective Neuroscience and Psychology.

After Orgasm: A Range of Reactions

Orgasm is sometimes described as an out-of-the-body experience. We’d add that it’s a full-body experience, too. Think about the body parts involved: Your eyes see your partner’s smile; your skin receives touch. Your brain sends signals through your nervous system, telling your genitals to start getting ready for the main event. Your blood pumps harder. Your breathing quickens. And then, if things go as planned, you and your partner climax – sometimes together, but more often separately.

After Orgasm: A Range of Reactions

Sex and Anxiety

Here on SexHealthMatters we often talk about the role of the brain during sexual activity. While the genitals may seem more involved with the “action,” the brain is a great coordinator. It takes in sexual stimuli (like a provocative smile or a touch), processes them, and sends messages to the genitals to start getting ready, either through erection or vaginal lubrication.

Orgasm is a complex, mysterious process. But that hasn’t stopped scientists from trying to learn as much as they can. In fact, some volunteers have brought themselves to orgasm inside an MRI machine in the name of science.

Alcohol and Sex

Justin was the new guy at the office and he was looking forward to the company’s annual summer party, always held at the boss’s ritzy estate by the ocean. These parties were legendary, he’d been told. People from all over the region came to play volleyball on the beach, have bonfires after the sun went down. And it wasn’t uncommon for couples to wander off, claiming that what happens at the party stays at the party.

Drugs and Low Libido (Part 1)

When your sex drive plummets, it can be difficult to pinpoint why. Could it be low testosterone? Fluctuating hormones due to pregnancy or menopause? Fatigue or stress from a new job? Anxiety or depression? All of these factors can contribute to low libido. So can certain medical conditions like diabetes and cancer.
