Physical Factors in Sexual Dysfunction
The prevalence of sexual dysfunction increases with age (Araujo et al., 2004; R. W. Lewis et al., 2004). This is mainly due to physical factors such as disease, disability, illness, and the use of many commonly used drugs. Prescription drugs may cause a loss of sexual desire, erectile or ejaculatory problems, and/or orgasm problems in […]
Gender implications for parents?
Research on the effects of policies directed at parents in the educational and child protection systems suggests mothers are disproportionately burdened and blamed by the encouragement of ‘parental’ involvement and responsibility in these systems.[694] The policy focus on parental responsibility and the involvement of parents in the youth justice system has the same potential to […]
Dyspareunia in Men
Painful intercourse in men is unusual but does occur. If the foreskin of an uncircumcised male is too tight, he can experience pain during an erection. Under such circumstances minor surgery may be indicated. Inadequate hygiene of an uncircumcised penis can result in the accumulation of smegma beneath the foreskin, causing irritation of the glans […]

Elsewhere (Yau and Wong 2009) we have demonstrated that […]
Psychological Factors in Sexual Dysfunction
Psychological factors that can interfere with sexual functioning include unconscious fears, ongoing stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, fear of infidelity, partner conflict, fear of intimacy, dependency, abandonment, and/or loss of control, all of which may impair the ability to respond sexually. As we discussed in Chapter 10, the various pressures and time commitments of two-career […]
Media Coverage of Gender Violence
To provide a quantifiable measure of the impact of the new politics of gender violence on Russian society, I conducted a content analysis of the print media. The Soviet legacy of using the media as mechanisms of propaganda meant not only that Soviet citizens had the literacy to read newspapers and magazines, but that they […]
