Universal Safety Planning for Suicide Prevention
Suicide rates have increased in the US over the last decades. Schools often deliver suicide prevention trainings and there is growing evidence that these trainings in schools are effective. The current study examined a new upstream approach, CODE RED in which trainees complete their own safety plan prior to a mental health emergency. Participants were adult school personnel ( n = 201) who completed CODE RED trainings and were surveyed using three…
Functional MRI of the Brain during Orgasm in Women
Women diagnosed with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) at T10 or higher report sensations generated by vaginal-cervical mechanical self-stimulation (CSS). In this paper we review brain responses to sexual arousal and orgasm in such women, and further hypothesize that the afferent pathway for this unexpected perception is provided by the Vagus nerves, which bypass the spinal cord. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we ascertained …
Report of the International Consensus Development Conference on Female Sexual Dysfunction
PURPOSE: Female sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent but not well defined or understood. We evaluated and revised existing definitions and classifications of female sexual dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An interdisciplinary consensus conference panel consisting of 19 experts in female sexual dysfunction selected from 5 countries was convened by the Sexual Function Health Council of the American Foundation for Urologic Disease. A modified D…
Sexual response to self‐stimulation in women with complete spinal cord injury
In the scant reports that are available about sexual response and orgasm in women with complete spinal cord injury (SCI), some researchers state that these women cannot achieve orgasm; others label the orgasms of women with SCI as “phantom orgasms.” However, subjective reports of women do not support these contentions. The purpose of this study was to obtain objective correlates of the subjective reports of women with complete SCI during self‐sti…

Update on the female prostate and the phenomenon of female ejaculation
A review of research concerning the female prostate, a specific organ of the female urogenital system, is presented. This research focuses on clinical interest, anatomical structure, and histochemistry of the female prostate. Research concerning the phenomenon of female ejaculation is reviewed in terms of findings relevant to forensic medicine and sexuality. Further systematic research is needed to determine if the female prostate, the Gräfenberg…
Physiological correlates of imagery-induced orgasm in women
Analgesia produced in women by genital self‐stimulation
This study investigated the relative effectiveness of specific genital regional self-stimulation in elevating pain thresholds. Anecdotal reports in humans suggest that sexual activity and orgasm decrease a wide variety of human responses to pain and touch, but the phenomenon has not been evaluated objectively. Two types of self-stimulation, pressure and pleasurable, were applied by 10 women to the anterior vaginal wall, the posterior vaginal wall…
On female ejaculation
Addiego et al. (1981) reported a case study in which a woman's urethral orgasmic expulsions differed from her urine in concentrations of urea, creatinine, and tartrate inhibitable acid phosphatase (a more appropriate term than prostatic acid phosphatase used by Addiego et al. [cf. Stolorow, Hanucher, & Stuver, 1976; Sensabaugh & Kahane, 1982]). Addiego et al. referred to, but did not report data from, pilot work with urine and orgasmic expulsion …
Pelvic muscle strength of female ejaculators
Kegel's theory (1952a) concerning the sexual importance of the pubococ‐cygeus muscle was combined with Singer's theory (1973) of “uterine” orgasms to produce the hypothesis that women who ejaculate at orgasm have stronger pelvic muscle contractions under voluntary control than women who do not ejaculate. The vaginal myograph and a new “uterine myograph” developed for this project were utilized to measure EMG levels in 47 women. Ejaculators were f…
Female ejaculation
This case study provides objective evidence supporting the hypothesis that female ejaculation, a partial, infertile homologue of male ejaculation, exists. A karyotypically normal, multiparous woman suffered for a decade with urinary stress incontinence. During that time she had learned to inhibit an orgastic response which led to bedwetting. Although the liquid produced did not appear to be urine, she falsely concluded that her orgasmic expulsion…
