Physiologic Aspects of Sexual Function and Dysfunction

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1980
The neurovascular, psychophysiological, and gonadal aspects of human sexual function are reviewed, the physiological correlates of sexual dysfunctions of psychological origin are considered, and some medical illnesses that give rise to disordered sexual responses by interfering with the organic substrate are briefly discussed. Emphasis is on conceptual

Sexual dysfunction in partial epilepsy

Neurology, 1994
Men and women with epilepsy frequently complain of sexual dysfunction. We studied the sexual response in men and women with partial epilepsy of temporal lobe origin (TLE) by measuring genital blood flow (GBF) during sexual arousal. Nine women and eight men with TLE and 12 women and seven men as controls completed inventories for symptoms of depression,

Vagal Activity During Physiological Sexual Arousal in Women With and Without Sexual Dysfunction

Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, 2016
Recently, heart rate variability (HRV) level has been found to be a risk factor for female sexual dysfunction. Low HRV was a significant predictor of female sexual arousal dysfunction and overall sexual dysfunction. Building upon this finding, the present study examined whether differences in vagal activity between sexually functional and sexually ...

To more clearly characterize the patterns of cognitive-affective and physiological responses concomitant with male sexual dysfunction, the present study compared 14 sexually dysfunctional and 16 sexually functional men. All individuals listened to two sexually explicit tapes and engaged in a self-generated fantasy, while genital, heart rate and scaled ...

Female Sexual Dysfunction: Epidemiology, Physiology, Evaluation, and Treatment

2001
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a multicausal and multidimensional problem affecting between 30–50% of American women (1,2). Based on the National Health and Social Life Survey of 1749 women, 43% have complaints of sexual dysfunction. Although this study has a large sample size and minority representation, it is limited by the cross-sectional design.

Physiological responsivity of normal and sexually dysfunctional women during erotic stimulus exposure

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1976
Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to determine how sexually dysfunctional and normal women differ in their physiological responsivity during, and subjective responsivity shortly after, exposure to an erotic stimulus. Utilizing analysis of covariance, subjects were equated on physiological basal measures as well as other relevant ...

Female Sexual Dysfunction: New Perspectives on Anatomy, Physiology, Evaluation and Treatment

EAU Update Series, 2003
Abstract Female sexual dysfunction is age-related, progressive and highly prevalent, affecting 30–50% of American women. While there are emotional and relational elements to sexual function, it has become increasingly evident that female sexual dysfunction can occur secondary to medical problems and has an organic basis. A plethora of different female
