Female Sexual Response

The aim of this study was to develop a simple method of assessing female sexual response, suitable for use in clinical investigations. Following a review of interview, physiological and psychological methods, a Scale of Sexual Response was developed. Sexually dysfunctional women and women who stated they had no sexual problems completed the Scale. The results demonstrated that 11 of the 15 subscales had concurrent validity. The 4 subscales relating to auto eroticism did not distinguish between groups. Significant changes were demonstrated in 4 subscales following successful therapy of the sexual dysfunction. The scale was shown to be reliable.

Physical Therapy Intervention

Introduction: Sexual dysfunction refers to a problem occurring during any phase of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity. The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Desire and arousal are both part of the excitement phase of the sexual response. The literature review confirmed that the sexual dysfunction is common, 43 % of women and 31 % of men report some degree of difficulty, it is a topic that many people are hesitant to discuss. But the treatment options are available [1]. The literature also supports the use of pelvic floor exercise in order to improve sexual function. The health concept for women magazine reported that the Neo-control magnetic chair improved the sexual dysfunctions in women specially the orgasm problems [2]. Objective: The objective of the study is to explore the role of the physical therapy intervention for the female sexual dysfunction in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Thirty women had sexual dysfunction, were evaluated by muscle power (Oxford scale) before and after the treatment, and FSFI questioners were answered before and after the completion of the treatment. Main Outcome Measures: The domain scores of the female sexual function index (FSFI), included desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, were calculated. The supervised pelvic floor muscle training, core strengthening pelvic exercises were conducted for 30 minutes, and magnetic field “neocontrol chair” frequency 50HZ, 15 sec. on, 1 sec. off for 20 min. power 75-80%, twice a week for six weeks(12 sesssions). Muscle power (Oxford scale) was measured before and after the treatment. Results: All subjects successfully completed the study with no adverse events significant improvement in sexual function as assessed by the FSFI, sex desire improved by 80%, sexual arousal improved by 86%, lubrication and orgasm improved by 80%, general satisfaction 87%, 73% pain free through intercourse. Muscle power were improved from 1-2 out of 5 to 3+ out of 5. Conclusion: The physical therapy intervention which include pelvic floor exercise, core strengthening exercise and magnetic field had improved the sexual function in female Saudi society.

Sexual dysfunctions have been the most prevalent group of sexual disorders and include a large number of populations of both sexes. The research of sexual behavior and treatment of women with sexual distress arises many questions related to differences in sexual response of men and women. The conceptualization of this response in modern sexology has changed over time. The objective of our paper was to present the changes and evolution of the female?s sexual response concept in a summarized and integrated way, to analyze the expanded and revised definitions of the female sexual response as well as implications and recommendations of new approaches to diagnostics and treatment according to the established changes. The lack of adequate empirical basis of the female sexual response model is a critical question in the literature dealing with this issue. Some articles report that linear models demonstrate more correctly and precisely the sexual response of women with normal sexual functions in relation to women with sexual dysfunction. Modification of this model later resulted in a circular model which more adequately presented the sexual response of women with sexual function disorder than of women with normal sexual function. The nonlinear model of female sexual response constructed by Basson incorporates the value of emotional intimacy, sexual stimulus and satisfaction with the relationship. Female functioning is significantly affected by multiple psychosocial factors such as satisfaction with the relationship, self-image, earlier negative sexual experience, etc. Newly revised, expanded definitions of female sexual dysfunction try to contribute to new knowledge about a highly contextual nature of woman?s sexuality so as to enhance clinical treatment of dysfunctions. The definitions emphasize the evaluation of the context of women?s problematic sexual experiences.

Individual Woman

Female sexual dysfunction can greatly affect a woman's quality of life. Affected patients need a comprehensive assessment that includes taking a sexual history, medical evaluation and, if appropriate, a manual examination in order to diagnose, treat or identify factors relevant for each individual woman. There may be biological, psychological, emotional and relationship issues. Any biological factors such as vaginal dryness, pelvic floor dysfunction or chronic pain need to be addressed first to help prevent more complex problems developing. Sexual problems may be the cause of or the result of dysfunctional or unsatisfactory relationships. Psychological and emotional factors can create difficulties in sexual response and, equally, they can be the result of unaddressed or untreated biological/medical issues. Nurses working in urology need to be aware of the physiology involved in sexual response and know which conditions and illnesses are likely to affect sexual functioning and which treatments can help.

Eighteen chronic hemodialysis patients were interviewed by staff trained in sex therapy. Compared with the pre-uremic phase, sexual satisfaction was less in nine subjects, greater in four; frequency of intercourse had declined in ten subjects. Dysfunctions of sexual response were reported by five men and six women. Analysis of physical factors, medication and depression showed no clear association with sexual dysfunction, suggesting the importance of psychosocial factors. A trial of sex therapy in renal patients is proposed.

Sexual Response Cycle

Sexual dysfunction is one of the more common features of depressive disorders, presenting with dysfunction across sexual response cycle. Variety of factors play a role in causing sexual dysfunction in these patients, such as psychological, biological, social and interpersonal factors. Another cause of sexual dysfunction in these patients can be the side effect of antidepressants making it difficult to conclude if the dysfunction is the result of the depression or the treatment of depression. Clinicians need to be aware about the sexual dysfunction as it can have big impact on the overall quality of life of an individual.

Abstract Purpose of Review Theoretical models situate attention as integral to the onset and regulation of sexual response and propose that problems with sexual response and subsequent sexual dysfunction result from insufficient attentional processing of sexual stimuli. The goal of this paper is to review literature examining the link between attentional processing of sexual stimuli and sexual function in women. Specifically, we sought to understand whether women with and without sexual dysfunction differ in their visual attention to sexual stimuli and examined the link with sexual response, which would support attention as a mechanism underlying sexual dysfunction. Recent Findings Across women with and without sexual concerns, sexual stimuli are preferentially attended to relative to nonsexual stimuli, suggesting that sexual stimuli are more salient than nonsexual stimuli. Differences between women with and without sexual dysfunction emerge when examining visual attention toward the most salient features of sexual stimuli (e.g., genital regions depicting sexual activity). Consistent with theoretical models, visual attention and sexual response are related, such that increasing attention to sexual cues facilitates sexual arousal, whereas reduced attention to sexual stimuli appears to suppress sexual arousal, which may contribute to sexual difficulties in women. Summary Taken together, the research supports the role of visual attention in sexual response and sexual function. These findings provide empirical support for interventions that target attentional processing of sexual stimuli. Future research is required to further delineate the specific attentional mechanisms involved in sexual response and investigate whether these are modifiable. This knowledge may be beneficial for developing novel psychological interventions targeting attentional processes in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions.
