There have been various different attitudes towards sexual dysfunction over the centuries. Erectile dysfunction, in particular, has been written about in detail since medieval times. These physicians would prescribe both single drug therapies and combination regimens to treat erectile dysfunction. They also designed topical or locally applied medication preparations and developed drugs that could be applied via the urethra. As far as modern medicine is concerned, the study of sexual dysfunction dates back to the 1970s when the book Human Sexual Inadequacy was published by Masters and Johnson. The book was the final product of more than ten years of work carried out at the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation in St. Louis and involved 790 cases. The foundations for the book were laid out in a previous work by Master and Johnson called Human Sexual Response, which was published in 1966.

SARS-CoV-2 was discovered initially in December 2019 in China. Appallingly, the virus spread quickly to the rest of the world. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the SARS-CoV-2-associated respiratory illness, a pandemic.

Endometriosis is a condition that affects women who have menstrual periods and can cause painful intercourse, heavy periods, and infertility, among other symptoms. It occurs when tissue similar to the tissue that lines the uterus (the endometrium) begins to grow outside of the uterus. Because this tissue behaves like the endometrium, it thickens and breaks down each month during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe form of the condition. DE deeply infiltrates the pelvic tissues, affects organs near the uterus like the bladder and/or bowel, and causes changes to the structure of the pelvic organs (e.g., adhesions). Unfortunately, DE is strongly associated with female sexual dysfunction (FSD).A standard treatment for DE is laparoscopy, a surgery in which small incisions are made in the abdomen and adjustments are made with the help of a camera. During a laparoscopic surgery for DE, the surgeon would separate any adhesions, remove endometriotic cysts, and ...

Perhaps unsurprisingly, many people are hesitant or even reluctant to seek help for sexual problems.The most frequently cited reasons for not seeking help for a sexual problem are embarrassment, not recognizing the issue as a medical problem, considering sexual problems to be a natural part of aging, hoping that sexual issues will resolve themselves, and financial barriers to care. To explore this hypothesis, the authors surveyed a total of 3,697 Polish men of different sexual orientations. The three primary questions included in the survey were: Do you consider yourself to be heterosexual, gay, or bisexual? Have you ever had a problem with sexual functioning that lasted at least several months? Did you seek professional assistance then? Data was collected between June and September 2016, and subsequently analyzed by the researchers to determine whether or not there was an association between the participants’ sexual identities and the...

Although sex and sleep may seem unrelated, the quality and consistency of a person’s sleep can actually have a big impact on their sex life. Circadian rhythm refers to the body’s natural, internal sleep-wake cycle that repeats roughly every 24 hours. This cycle varies from person to person, and it is estimated to be about 50% genetically determined. Nevertheless, according to the National Sleep Foundation, most teenagers require 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day, adults require 7 to 9 hours of sleep, and older adults require 7 to 8 hours of sleep. They are more likely to experience daytime fatigue, increased irritability, a higher risk of accidents, and difficulties with concentration. Research shows that sexual functioning is also impacted by a lack of sleep and/or irregular sleep patterns that disrupt the body’s natural circadian rhythm. Not only do irregular sleep patterns affect a person’s sex life, so do sleep patterns that do not align with a sexual partner’s. Since everyone has th...
