The essential conditions for positive sexual interaction—consent, equality, respect, trust, and safety—are absent in sexual abuse. Boys and girls who are sexually abused are robbed of the opportunity to explore and develop their sexuality at their own age-appropriate pace (Maltz, 2003). According to the NHSLS, 12% of men and 17% of women were sexually abused […]

Prostate Cancer
Almost all men will experience a normal enlargement of the prostate gland if they live long enough (see Chapter 5). Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men over 50. When prostate cancer is diagnosed or if the normal enlargement of the prostate progresses to the point at which it affects urination, […]
Hypospadia
Hypospadia is a condition in which the opening of the urethra — which is normally at the top of the glans — is located on the underside, the shaft of the penis or even in the scrotum. In addition the foreskin on the underside of the glans is missing, and the erect penis is sometimes […]
Emotional Difficulties
The NHSLS found that unhappiness with life correlated with sexual problems. The data did not clarify whether one causes the other, but women and men who were experiencing sexual problems were considerably more likely to be unhappy with their lives in general than were respondents without sexual difficulties (Laumann et al., 1999). Emotional intelligence—the ability […]
What Is the Progression of a Relapse?
Going into a relapse is not like accidentally stepping in a hole in the ground. A recovering porn user doesn’t suddenly, without reason, drop back into a state of being sexually re-involved with porn. Like other events in life, a relapse occurs in stages and is really not a single event, but a process that […]
Pelvic Cancer and Hysterectomies
Cancer can also strike a woman’s vagina, uterus, cervix or ovaries. Women with these cancers experience negative changes in all stages of the sexual response cycle and with their sex lives in general (Gamel et al., 2000) . Some women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer initiate sexual intercourse as a way to “say […]
SEXUALITY and DIVERSITY
Suffering for Beauty Brazil’s 4,700 miles of coastline and Brazilian men’s preference for women with large, curvy bottoms have made butt-enhancing cosmetic surgery common in Brazils cities. One of two methods is used: taking fat from the thighs and injecting it into the buttocks or inserting implants to create a fuller rear. In Asia, the […]

Seducer
Some men see themselves as pursuers and appreciators of women; they define virtually all female subordinates as sexual objects. Various relationships attributed to President Clinton cast him as a man who sees women subordinates as sexual objects. Seducers may focus on one female subordinate at a time (e. g., the newest one in the setting), […]
Self-Concept
The term self-concept refers to the feelings and beliefs we have about ourselves. Our selfconcept can influence our relationships and sexuality (Coleman, 2007; Foley, 2003). Research has found that self-esteem and self-confidence correlate with higher sexual satisfaction and lack of sexual problems (Galinsky & Sonenstein, 2011; Higgins et al., 2011). For example, a woman who […]
