Sexual Wellbeing according to Transgender Individuals
Objective: Sexual wellbeing is an important aspect of quality-of-life. In transgender individuals who seek gender affirming treatment, various aspects of sexuality have been assessed. However, not much is known on how transgender individuals themselves perceive sexual wellbeing. This study aims to explore the perception of sexual wellbeing in transgender-individuals (an emic-perspective). Methods: To explore sexual wellbeing from an emic perspect…
Dyadic Sexual Desire in Romantic Relationships: The Dyadic Interactions Affecting Dyadic Sexual Desire Model
Mental health in transgender adults: The role of proximal minority stress, community connectedness, and gender nonconformity
The minority stress model is used to explore the development of mental health disparities experienced by transgender adults. However, research so far has focused on the harmful impact of distal minority stressors, leaving proximal minority stressors understudied. This study aimed to examine the associations between mental health difficulties of transgender adults and proximal minority stress, community connectedness, and gender nonconformity. Bet…
Who’s Distressed by Sexual Difficulties? Exploring Associations Between Personal, Perceived Partner, and Relational Distress and Sexual Difficulties in Heterosexual Men and Women
While not all sexual difficulties cause distress, research and clinical experience suggest that, apart from personal distress, partner and relational sexual distress are also often an important reason to seek professional help. The current study explored the associations between personal, perceived partner, and relational distress that men and women experience as a result of sexual difficulties. Data from heterosexual Flemish individuals ages 16 …
A Positive Approach Toward Asexuality: Some First Steps, But Still a Long Way to Go
Asexuality: A Multidimensional Approach
While lack of sexual attraction, lack of sexual behavior, and self-identification as asexual have been used as criteria to define asexuality, it is not known how much they overlap in describing the same group of people. This study aimed to assess how many individuals could be identified as asexual based on each of these criteria and on combinations of these criteria. Participants were recruited through the Asexuality Visibility and Education Netw…
Prevalence Rates of Sexual Difficulties and Associated Distress in Heterosexual Men and Women: Results From an Internet Survey in Flanders
As most epidemiological surveys on sexual problems have not included assessment of associated distress, the principal aim of this study was to provide prevalence estimates of both DSM-IV-TR-defined (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000 ) and less commonly assessed sexual difficulties and dysfunction (e.g., lack of responsive sexual desire, lack of subjective arousal). A secondary aim was to obtain information about comorbidity between sex…
Should Transvestic Fetishism Be Classified in DSM 5 ? Recommendations from the WPATH Consensus Process for Revision of the Diagnosis of Transvestic Fetishism
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) conducted a consensus process in order to develop recommendations for the refinement of diagnoses for Gender Identity Disorders and Transvestic Fetishism for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5). This article is the report of the work group on Transvestic Fetishism. It reviews the history of the diagnosis of Transvestic Fetishism in…
Surgical Treatment of Gender Dysphoria in Adults and Adolescents: Recent Developments, Effectiveness, and Challenges
In 1990 Green and Fleming concluded that sex reassignment surgery (SRS) is an effective treatment for transsexuality because it reduced gender dysphoria drastically. Since 1990, many new outcome st
Hormonal and psychopharmacological interventions in the treatment of paraphilias: An update
Interest in the pharmacotherapeutic treatment of paraphilias is growing. Two classes of drugs have been tested: drugs that interfere with the normal production and action of androgens and psychotropic medications, in particular, anti‐depressants. We present a review of the supposed modes of action, the usual dosages, and the effectiveness of these drugs. Although the empirical validation of pharmacological interventions shows many methodological …
