Men with Various Subtypes of Premature Ejaculation Differ in the Perceived Cause of Their Problem
How men perceive the cause for their premature ejaculation (PE) impacts their understanding of their problem, likelihood of seeking treatment, and acceptance of and adherence to a treatment protocol. This study aimed to understand men's perceived reasons (attributions) for their PE, to explore differences across PE subtypes having different developmental progressions, and to identify covariates that might help explain subtype differences. 446 onl…
The Satisfaction of Women’s Orgasms
Objectives: Orgasms have become a symbol of successful sex in modern society. It is common knowledge that women's orgasms can be elusive in heterosexual partnered sex. To ascertain the impact of this disparity and to better understand women's sexuality for clinical applications, this study explores the relationship between women's orgasms and their relationship satisfaction in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilises dat…
Are Specific Sexual Activities During Partnered Sex and Masturbation Related to Sexual Problems in Men

Methods: = 2,807) completed an internet-based, cross-sectional questionnaire about sexual interest, behavior, and functioning. Results: Men with premature ejaculation were less likely to engage in foreplay-type behav…
Changes in Spousal Intimacy in Women Suffering Trauma Symptoms from Domestic Abuse
While emerging research is highlighting the significant effects of culture on marital and family relationships, studies investigating relationship intimacy and abuse in non-Western cultures are non-existent. This investigation assessed relationship intimacy in Pakistani women experiencing trauma symptoms (PTSD) from domestic abuse (DA) who received a culturally informed trauma intervention in a context that differs greatly in values and assumptio…
Female Sexuality in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Objectives: Sexual health includes the state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality. Masturbation is an important sexual activity with many potential benefits which has gained considerable interest in sexuality research in the past twenty years; however, this research is the first of its kind within the Aotearoa/New Zealand context. In this in-depth investigation, we examined frequencies of, reasons for, and ac…
Understanding Serial Mediators of Problematic Pornography Use in Pakistani Men and Women
These findings demonstrate that craving, stimulus-specific inhibitory control, and dysfunctional coping serve as important mediators in maintaining and exacerbating the cycle between negative predisposing variables and PPU. These results are interpreted within the general framework of therapeutic interventions that can help develop positive coping skills in individuals seeking to alter self-perceived bothersome or unwanted habits related to porno…
Cross-Cultural Analysis of Sexual Response and Relationship Satisfaction in Women With and Without Orgasmic Difficulty During Partnered Sex
Objective To investigate how orgasmic difficulty may impact women’s sexual/relationship quality depending upon their cultural origin. Method: We used a cross-sectional, multinational survey designed to assess orgasmic difficulty during partnered sex and other sexual/relationship factors in 88 Pakistani and 188 U.S. women. Results: Pakistani women reported less orgasmic difficulty than U.S. women, but those Pakistani women having orgasmic difficul…
Depression as a Function of Social Support in Transgender and Cisgender Individuals with Sexually Transmitted Diseases
This study focused on the relationships among social support, self-esteem, and depression in transgender and cisgender individuals suffering from an incurable or curable sexually transmitted disease. Data were collected from 210 participants with an STI using a semi-structured interview along with culturally adapted standardized instruments. Results indicated no differences between transgender and cisgender groups in depression, although there we…
The Critical Role of Coping Strategies in Moderating Loneliness and Quality of Life
Groups marginalized and/or isolated by minority status-including transgender individuals-are at significant risk for loneliness and diminished quality of life (QoL), effects that can be mitigated to some extent by coping styles. In this study, we examined the relationships among coping styles, loneliness, and QoL outcomes in a marginalized but understudied gender minority group, namely, 200 transgender individuals living in communities in an emer…
Possible Role for Imagery-Based Therapy in Managing PTSD in Pakistani Women Experiencing Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse of women is a serious problem worldwide that has economic, physical, and psychological consequences, yet in many countries and cultures, victims often have little access to psychological support. Using a pre-post design, we investigated the effects of psychological intervention using an imagery-based therapy in women showing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from spousal domestic abuse. Forty women, referred from outp…

Effects of Pornography Use and Demographic Parameters on Sexual Response during Masturbation and Partnered Sex in Women
The effect of pornography on sexual response is understudied, particularly among women. A multinational, community-based sample of 2433 women at least 18 years of age completed a 42-item, opt-in questionnaire collecting information on demographic and sexual history characteristics, use of pornography during masturbation, frequency of pornography use, and sexual response parameters. Pornography use and average frequency were compared across demogr…
Does Preterm Birth Affect Psychosexual Development? A Preliminary Exploration
Infants born prematurely may lack full term exposure to the prenatal milieu responsible for late-term sexual differentiation, with possible consequences on psychosexual development. This study assessed gender identity, sexual orientation, and adult sexual responses in men and women born either preterm or full term. An online survey was administered to 106 biological males (36 preterm) and 195 biological females (64 preterm). Preterm women identif…
Orgasmic Disorders
The Burden of Sexual Problems
Sexual dysfunction sometimes negatively affects the individual, his or her partner, and the relationship. We investigated the relationship between the distress experienced by men and women with orgasmic phase difficulties and the perceived distress of their partner(s). We also identified predictors of perceived partner distress, and related self and partner distress to severity of the problem and relationship quality. Data were drawn from 374 men…
Attribution Patterns in Women With and Without Orgasmic Difficulties
People with sexual problems are more likely to attribute negative sexual experiences to themselves, in contrast with sexually functional individuals who attribute negative sexual experiences to external factors such as the circumstance or situation. We investigated attribution patterns in women reporting difficult or absent orgasm-a group only minimally investigated in this regard-to determine whether they differed from women without orgasmic pro…

Using a Regression Approach to Study the Influence of Male Fetuses on the Genital Morphology of Neonatal Female Rats
Among newborn female rats considerable variability is found in genital morphology (e.g., anogenital distance, AGD). Presumably, such differences are related to prenatal androgen exposure, with greater exposure resulting in larger AGD's and thus in a trend toward masculinization. The source of prenatal androgen in female fetuses is unclear, but a role for male uterine mates has been implicated. The present study investigated the effect of a number…
