Sexual Misconceptions Prevalent Among Middle Aged
by admin on Apr.20, 2008, under Uncategorized
Men harbor the misconception that increasing age and excessive use may lead to weakening of the genitals and end in ‘seminal bankruptcy’. Because of this misguided belief, they observe sexual abstinence. One should remember that it is disuse which leads to atrophy and not the use. As a man grows older, he walks slow, he talks slow but he expects that his erection should not be slow! One needs to remember that this is a normal phenomenon. Some are under the impression that “one failure in making it means an end to sex life”. As a result, many men move from effective sexual functioning to various degrees of impotence. I always emphasize that occasional failures are common and failure does not mean an end. Women harbor the misconception that menopause marks the end of sex life. Menopause merely marks the end of a woman’s reproductive career and not the conjugal career which can continue up to the end of one’s biological life. In fact, the maturity of the partner’s end the relationship, along with guaranteed natural contraception may enhance the sex life. The misconception that “sex after 60 is not possible” needs to be changed. Men and women can continue to remain sexually active till the last day of their lives provided they are in sound physical and mental health.
Classify Orgasmic Dysfunctions
by admin on Nov.16, 2007, under Uncategorized
Here we classify orgasmic dysfunctions, on the basis of one single central parameter – the subjectively reported orgasmic experience, into four broad categories. They represent the discrepancy between one’s idealized expectation and one’s actual experience.
- Early Orgasmic Response – (EOR): This category includes cases in which orgasm is experienced earlier than one’s idealized expectations, which are within rational limits.
- Delayed Orgasmic Response – (DOR): This category includes cases in which orgasm does ultimately occur, but is delayed beyond one’s idealized expectations, which are within rational limits.
- Impaired Orgasmic Response – (IOR): This category includes cases in which there is a reduction in the intensity of orgasmic pleasure.
- Absent Orgasmic Response – (AOR): This category includes cases in which there is a complete failure to experience orgasmic pleasure.
This classification, based on one central subjective parameter provides conceptual clarity, specific terminologies for different disorders, uniformly encompasses all known male and female disorders, gives information whether a disorder is primary or secondary to some other pathology, and has the scope to include other associated parameters, if and when they are disturbed, along with the main diagnosis.
