4. The Senses and Sexuality Touch Smell Sound Sight

5. Smell Odors play a role in sexual arousal Pheremones Perfumes Colognes Debate about its existence i.e. menstrual synchrony Not all odors are conducive to sexual arousal Offensive odors

6. Sound Auditory stimuli Your partner’s voice Romantic or sexy music Love-making sounds Not all sounds are conducive to sexual arousal

7. Sight Allows us to experience many images that can trigger feelings of sexual arousal Viewing an “attractive” person Subject to social and cultural influences Erotic images Sometimes even parts of one’s genitals Sight

8. Which sense is this? Do not appear to play a significant role in sexual arousal

9. Terms to know Erogenous zones Kegel Exercises Aphrodisiacs Pheremones

10. Definition Erogenous Zones parts of the body that, when stimulated, elicit sexual arousal Kegel Exercise Recommended to reduce urinary incontinence and possibly increase sexual pleasure Identify the muscle by stopping urination in midstream

11. Definition Aphrodisiacs Agents that show any ability to enhance sexual functioning Pheromones Substances that when secreted have a particular smell found to be sexually arousing.

12. Sex Hormone Testosterone “Male” hormone Found in small amounts in women Affects sexual response in men and women Men – produced by the seminiferous tubules Women - produced by the ovaries Increase energy, sex drive (libido), aggression, appetite, muscle mass Increases libido in both men and women

13. A person’s emotional and mental states also help determine whether that person experiences arousal FACT

14. Sexual Response Cycle

15. Models of Human Sexual Response Master’s and Johnson Proposed their four-stage model of human sexual response cycle Stage I - Excitement Stage II - Plateau Stage III - Orgasm Stage IV - Resolution

16. EXCITEMENT- 1 ST STAGE: FEMALEMALE Transudation Vasocongestion Tenting Effect  HR, BP, RR Myotonia Penile Erection Vasocongestion Testis enlarge  HR, BP, RR Myotonia Response to stimuli RR – Respiratory Rate; BP – Blood Pressure; HR – Heart Rate

17. PLATEAU – 2 ND STAGE FEMALEMALE Orgasmic Platform  Tenting Effect Seminal Pool Erection is maintained ( if there is enough stimulation ) Cowper’s Gland secretes fluid

18. ORGASM – 3 RD STAGE FEMALEMALE Muscle spasms Involuntary Collection of semen in the urethral bulb Ejaculatory Invariability -bulbocavernosus muscle Expulsion of semen

19. RESOLUTION – 4 TH STAGE FEMALEMALE Return to non-aroused state Refractory Period

20. Comparing male and female sexual response Key difference Male has a refractory period There’s a potential for multiple orgasms in women Controversies in understanding the female orgasm Freud vaginal orgasm is true orgasm Master’s and Johnson only one kind no matter how achieved

21. Sexual Dysfunctions Recurrent or persistent sexual problems that interfere with normal performance and cause distress Nine types of sexual disorders Four categories Sexual Desire Disorders Sexual Arousal Disorders Orgasmic Disorders Sexual Pain Disorders

22. Prevalence

23. Sexual Desire Disorders Hypoactive sexual desire disorder Persistent deficit in sexual fantasies and desire for sex Sexual aversion disorder Extreme aversion to any form of sexual contact with a partner

24. Sexual Arousal Disorders Female sexual arousal disorder Difficulties becoming sexually aroused Deficient vaginal lubrication Male erectile disorder Recurrent problems in achieving or sustaining penile erection in a sexual situation Aka Impotence

25. Orgasmic Disorders Female orgasmic disorder (anorgasmia) Recurrent problem with reaching orgasm despite adequate erotic stimulation Male orgasmic disorder Delay or inability to reach orgasm during sexual activity Premature ejaculation Persistent or recurrent ejaculation following minimal stimulation and before the person wishes it

26. Sexual Pain Disorders Dyspareunia Recurrent genital pain during sexual intercourse Vaginismus Persistent involuntary spasms of vaginal muscles, which interfere with sexual intercourse

27. Sexual Dysfunctions - Differences in Men and Women FemaleMale Sexual Aversion Disorder Dyspareunia Dyspareunia (rare in men) VaginismusPremature Ejaculation Female Orgasmic DisorderMale Orgasmic Disorder Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder Female Sexual Arousal Disorder Male Erectile Disorder

28. General Causes Physiological/Biological Medication and illicit drugs Psychological/Emotional Anxiety Negative beliefs Sexual trauma Interpersonal/Social Relationship problems Environmental Cultural factors

29. Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions Medical treatment of sexual dysfunctions Sex therapy

30. Medical Treatment Viagra FDA approval in March 1998 Prescription only Lasts about four hours Side effects Short duration

40. Rape Drugs What is a Rape Drug?

42. Effects of Rape Drugs Drowsiness Disorientation Disinhibition Amnesia

43. Infertility Definition: number of couples who have unprotected intercourse for one year and do not experience a pregnancy 10-15% of American couples are infertile

44. Causes of infertility Both men and women contribute to infertility 90% of cases, cause will be known Each gender contributes 40% Both contribute 10% Remaining 10% of cases, cause remains unknown Males Usually due to sperm defect Females More complex

45. Risk Factors Some common risk factors Age Weight Lifestyle Occupational and Environmental risks Stress and Emotional factors Genetic conditions??

46. Age and Infertility Females As a woman gets older, her chances of fertility declines Menopause Higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities that occur in her eggs More likely to have health problems that may interfere with fertility However, if fertilization occurs, can carry to full term High risk of miscarriage Males Not very clear on its impact of age and fertility in men Age does not appear to impact fertility in males as it does in females. More likely to have health problems that may interfere with fertility

47. Chances of Pregnancy by Age AgeFertility % Up until 3490% By age 40Declining to 67% By age 45Declining to 15%

48. Causes of Female Infertility Common causes Blocked Fallopian Tubes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Endometriosis Ovulation disorders Others

49. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID, is the major cause of infertility worldwide. It is an infection of a woman's pelvic organs (uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries). Infection of one or both fallopian tubes is known as Salpingitis Symptoms Mostly asymptomatic Fever, chills, pelvic pain (indicating inflammation of the entire pelvic area).

50. PID (cont) Common causes of PID Untreated/uncured bacterial infection Most common chlamydia (about 75% of cases) Second most common cause is gonorrhea.

51. Endometriosis Lining of the uterus, instead of being expelled into the vagina, is expelled out into the fallopian tubes and implanted in other areas of the pelvis. These implants respond to hormonal changes, slowly increasing in number and size with each menstrual cycle Eventually causes scarring and inflammation Symptoms Often causes no symptoms Painful periods, painful sex, painful bowel movements Cause is unknown Possible defects in immune system

52. Endometriosis and infertility Endometrial cysts in the fallopian tubes may cause blockage Scar tissue between uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes Poor egg implantation

53. Female Infertility- Other possible causes Ovulation Disorders Hormone Disorders Ovarian Cysts Benign Uterine Fibroids Ectopic pregnancies, medical conditions, medications

54. Male Infertility Over 90% of cases are due to: Low sperm count Poor sperm quality Motility Morphology Both 30 - 40% of cases have an unknown cause

55. What affects sperm count and quality? Environmental and Biologic Factors Lifestyle Genetic Factors Varicocele

56. Varicose vein in the cord that connects to the testicle. Found in 10-15% of all men Found in 25% - 40% of infertile men Only varicoceles large enough to be felt are reported to affect fertility

57. Testing for Infertility - males Sperm evaluation Hormone tests Ultrasound

58. Testing for Infertility – females Ovulation Assessment Body temperature Cervical mucus assessment Hormone Analysis Laparascopy Check vagina for naturally occurring sperm antibodies

59. Infertility Treatment Artificial Insemination Drug therapy Clomid In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

60. Infertility Treatment Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) Both egg and sperm inserted into Fallopian tube Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) Fertilized outside body and inserted into Fallopian tube Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Direct injection of sperm into egg in lab
