SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS: DEFINITIONS, CAUSES, AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES
What constitutes a sexual dysfunction? Not being able to get an erection one night? Experiencing difficulties having an orgasm during sexual intercourse? Having no sexual desire for your partner? Do sexual dysfunctions have to happen for extended periods of time, or do they happen only once in a while? There are many types of sexual […]
Teens and Abortion
Each year in the United States, 1 million teenagers become pregnant, and 85% of these pregnancies are unintended (Alan Guttmacher Institute, 1999c). Many states have passed laws that control teenagers’ access to abortion. For instance, some states require parental notification or parental consent. However, studies have shown that in states without mandatory parental consent or […]
The Relation Between the Wage Gap and the Leisure Gap
A debate still rages in social science research between two camps. One, represented by Gary Becker in his Economic Approach to Human Behavior, claims that wives do more housework because couples reason that “its good for everybody” if husbands focus on work, since they generally earn more. Womens greater work at home is thus part […]
Faking Orgasms
A final orgasmic difficulty we discuss is faking orgasms—pretending to experience orgasm without actually doing so. Some men fake orgasm, and a growing number of young, healthy men whose compulsive viewing of pornography make arousal with a partner difficult are faking orgasm (Robinson, 2011; Rothbart, 2011). However, faking orgasm is typically discussed in reference to […]
Men’s Reactions
A woman’s choice to have an abortion forces a couple to reevaluate their relationship and ask themselves some difficult questions. Do we both feel the same about each other? Is this relationship serious? Where is this relationship going? Keeping the lines of communication open during this time is very important. Some studies claim that abortion […]

Consent
The inclusion of the term unwanted in most formal definitions of sexual harassment is reflective of the norms of social conduct in American society. By the insertion of a single word, women are made to bear the burden of monitoring their own behaviors and feelings and those of their male cohorts. Further, women may be […]

Premature Ejaculation
The most common male sexual difficulty is premature ejaculation (PE) (Strassberg, 2007) . Almost all men ejaculate quickly during their first intercourse, which may be disappointing but should not be seen as a sexual problem unless it persists after more experiences. The International Society for Sexual Medicine defines premature ejaculation as a pattern of quick […]
