Sexual Aversion, Disgust, and Fear of Intimacy
Ethical challenges in research on sexual dysfunction
Despite more than a century of research on sexual dysfunction, there has been limited attention to ethical concerns. This is problematic because sex research involves complex ethical questions that generate confusion for ethics review and have not been addressed by ethical guidelines. We analyze two questions. First, does sexual content raise the risk profile of a research protocol? We argue that there is nothing inherent in sexual content that m…
Female Multiple Orgasm
Women's multiorgasmic capacity has long been mentioned in the human sexuality literature. However, due in part to the conceptual vagueness surrounding this phenomenon, few empirical studies have focused on this topic, and our scientific knowledge is currently limited. This exploratory research is mainly aimed at providing a much-needed assessment of the profiles of women reporting multiorgasmic experiences. For this study, 419 sexually diverse wo…
Using the Dual Control Model to Investigate the Relationship Between Mood, Genital, and Self-Reported Sexual Arousal in Men and Women
Recent findings suggest that there is considerable interindividual variability in how mood affects sexual arousal and that the dual control model may be helpful in explaining this variation. The current research investigated whether mood interacted with sexual excitation and inhibition proneness to predict subjective and genital arousal. In this study, 33 participants (18 men; 15 women), ages 18 to 45, attended three laboratory sessions where the…
A Streetcar Named “Derousal”? A Psychophysiological Examination of the Desire–Arousal Distinction in Sexually Functional and Dysfunctional Women
Research indicates that desire and arousal problems are highly interrelated in women. Therefore, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) were removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and a new diagnostic category, female sexual interest/arousal disorder (FSIAD), was created to include both arousal and desire difficulties. However, no research has trie…
Can Fear, Pain, and Muscle Tension Discriminate Vaginismus from Dyspareunia/Provoked Vestibulodynia? Implications for the New DSM-5 Diagnosis of Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder
Gender Similarities and Differences in Sexual Arousal, Desire, and Orgasmic Pleasure in the Laboratory
Relatively little is known about gender differences in the orgasm experience. The objectives of this study were to compare men's and women's patterns of sexual arousal and desire before and after orgasm, and the predictors of their orgasmic pleasure. Using their typical technique, where masturbation enjoyment was similar to that experienced at home, 38 men and 38 women masturbated to orgasm in the laboratory. Physiological sexual arousal (genital…
Disentangling Desire and Arousal
A controversial proposal to collapse sexual disorders of desire and arousal is forthcoming in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.) (DSM-5). Yet, no study has attempted to empirically distinguish these disorders by using explicit criteria to recruit and compare distinct groups of low desire and arousal sufferers. The goal of the current study was to test the feasibility of finding medically healthy men and women meet…

An Evaluation of the Validity of Thermography as a Physiological Measure of Sexual Arousal in a Non-University Adult Sample
The DSM Diagnostic Criteria for Dyspareunia
The DSM-IV-TR attempted to create a unitary category of dyspareunia based on the criterion of genital pain that interfered with sexual intercourse. This classificatory emphasis of interference with intercourse is reviewed and evaluated from both theoretical and empirical points of view. Neither of these points of view was found to support the notion of dyspareunia as a unitary disorder or its inclusion in the DSM-V as a sexual dysfunction. It see…

Do all orgasms feel alike? Evaluating a two‐dimensional model of the orgasm experience across gender and sexual context
The characteristics common to all human orgasm experiences and potential gender and contextual factors affecting these experiences were investigated in two studies. A two-dimensional descriptive model of the orgasm experience was evaluated by testing hypotheses concerning (a) fit of the model to adjective-ratings data describing male and female orgasm experiences, and (b) sexual context effects on the importance of model components. In the first …

Structure of Lifestyle Disruptions in Chronic Disease
BACKGROUND: The Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale (IIRS) measures the extent to which disease or its treatment or both interfere with activities in important life domains. Before comparing IIRS scores within or across groups it is crucial to determine whether a common underlying factor structure exists across patient populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factor structure underlying the IIRS and evaluate its stability across diagnoses. METH…

The Sexual Pain Disorders
The concept of a sexual pain disorder is both intriguing and confusing. It is intriguing because the basic premise underlying this idea appears to be that there is a special type of pain which is sexual in nature. If this premise is true, then the study of sexual pain that becomes pleasurable or sexual pleasure that becomes painful might provide us with crucial information concerning the relationship of pain and pleasure. The nature of this relat…
The use of couple data to determine the reliability of self‐reported sexual behavior
Unreliable self‐reporting of sexual behavior has been suggested as a major cause of variance in survey research. In addition, differing gender‐related biases are thought to account for discrepancies in reports of oral and anal sex. Insufficient attention, however, has been given to assessing the reliability of the sexual partner's reports. Data obtained from 70 couples concerning 68 sexual behaviors was reviewed. Four different reliability indice…
Ethical issues in conducting sex research on the internet
The Internet offers a “virtual world” in which to carry out innovative sex research, but this new world may entail new ethical dilemmas. Ethical issues in recruitment, informed consent, data collection, and record keeping are examined. Applying common sense and current ethical codes for conducting sex research are sufficient in most cases. Special care and procedures may be required to obtain data from children and to protect the privacy of sensi…

Sudden Death in the Laboratory Rat
Three reported charateristics of sudden death in the wild rat, (1) bradycardia, (2) decreased survival without whiskers, and (3) increased suvival with preexposure to the stressor, are demonstrated in the domestic rat. Differences in sudden death between wild and domestic rats are discussed as well as possible interpretations of the phenomenon
A Note on the Term Sudden Death
Misuses of the term “sudden death” are discussed and suggestions for appropriate usage are considered. The significance of the study of sudden death is considered for the animal as well as the human domain
