motive: ev >guys circumcised as adults are doubtlessly in a unique position to comment on the impact of a prepuce on sexual intercourse. we examine sexual characteristic results in men who have skilled sexual sex within the uncircumcised and circumcised states.
materials and strategies: men 18 years old or older when circumcised have been identified by means of billing information at some point of a five-yr length at an academic scientific center. medical charts have been reviewed for confirmation of the system and to perceive the indication(s). these men have been surveyed to assess erectile function, penile sensitivity, sexual hobby and typical pleasure. information had been analyzed using paired t checks to examine category rankings before and after circumcision.
consequences: a total of 123 guys were circumcised as adults. indications for circumcision protected phimosis in sixty four% of cases, balanitis in 17%, condyloma in 10%, redundant foreskin in 9% and optional in 7%. the reaction fee became forty four% among capability responders. imply age of responders become forty two years at circumcision and 46 years at survey. person circumcision seems to result in worsened erectile feature (p = zero.01), decreased penile sensitivity (p = zero.08), no trade in sexual activity (p = 0.22) and progressed delight (p = zero.04). of the guys 50% suggested blessings and 38% pronounced harm. typical, 62% of fellows had been glad with having been circumcised.
conclusions: our findings can also help urologists higher suggest men undergoing circumcision as adults. prospective studies are had to better apprehend the connection among circumcision and sexual function.
ok ey w ords : circumcision, person, sex.
[CIRP note: Most (84%) of the men in this study had a preexisting problem of phimosis, balanitis, or condyloma. There was no clear sample of normal, healthy, intact men for comparison. Even so, thirty-eight percent of the circumcised men were dissatisfied with the results of their circumcision.]
clinical information that physicians can use as a foundation for recommending or no longer recommending circumcision in neonates or adults is restrained. controversy surrounding neonatal circumcision keeps to exist. neither the american academy of pediatrics, american academy of own family physicians nor american urological association has a selected advice endorsing or opposing circumcision. 1-3 however, those corporations do have policy statements on circumcision recommending the unbiased discussion of the evidence concerning this system. the proof regarding the effect of circumcision on sexual function is lacking.
ideals fluctuate on how circumcision influences the sensitivity of the glans and satisfaction with sexual s
social and ethical literature aspects of sex selectionreviewMitu Khosla
This document provides a literature review and annotated bibliography on social and ethical aspects of sex selection. It summarizes the objective, search methods, key findings from attitudinal studies of the general population and medical/ancillary staff on views toward sex selection. Several general population surveys from the 1970s-1980s in the US and UK found a preference for gender balance over a single sex. Studies of couples seeking sex selection found preferences varied by culture/region.
This document discusses topics related to sexual health and prevention, including screening recommendations for STIs, birth control options and effectiveness, emergency contraception, signs of pregnancy, and issues specific to men's and women's sexual health. It emphasizes the importance of understanding sexuality and notes challenges adolescents face in developing healthy attitudes towards sex due to developmental immaturity and lack of comprehensive sex education. The doctor's office, CDC website, and Planned Parenthood are recommended resources for sexual health information.
Men and women can both be infertile, and the cause of infertility varies in women and men. For women, the cause of infertility ranges from diseases of the thyroid to fibroids in the uterus and even endometriosis.
The study examined reasons for the link between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and later sexual abuse perpetration in women. It found that female prisoners convicted of sexually abusing children reported more frequent CSA and longer abuse durations than other prisoners. While CSA was linked to borderline personality traits, these traits did not fully explain the relationship with later offending. The duration of CSA appeared to be a stronger predictor of later sex offending than CSA alone. The results provide insight into predictors of female sex offending and the importance of CSA duration.
This document summarizes two studies on heterosexual anal intercourse among urban female adolescents. The first study found that over 1/3 of participants reported engaging in anal intercourse, with little condom use. Those who engaged in anal intercourse were less likely to use condoms during vaginal sex. The second study found a quadratic relationship between relationship power and anal intercourse, with those having low or high power more likely to engage in it. Education is needed to increase awareness of risk associated with anal intercourse.
This document is a presentation by Dr. Steven Brown for the 4th Annual Transgender Medical Symposium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It discusses hormones and their effects on the body, the development of secondary sex characteristics, and considerations for providing hormone therapy to transgender patients. It covers topics like informed consent processes, evaluating patients for hormone therapy, monitoring treatment effects and side effects, and addressing psychosocial factors.
This study examined sexual knowledge, parental communication, condom usage, relationship status, and race using data from 211 Georgia teens aged 13-18 who participated in an HIV prevention program. Descriptive analyses found that over half were currently in a relationship and 62.1% reported using a condom last time. There was no correlation between parental communication and sexual knowledge pre-intervention. Teens had higher sexual knowledge post-intervention. There were no differences in sexual knowledge or parental communication between African American and Caucasian teens. Relationship status was significantly related to condom usage.
In this longitudinal study, researchers used standardized measures and multiple informants to examine differences in externalizing behavior and substance use among childhood cancer survivors and comparison peers during adolescence. The roles of peer acceptance, social behavior and medical factors were of focus.

The roles of peer acceptance, social behavior and medical factors were of focus.
This study compared autism and internalizing symptoms in girls and boys with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) between ages 8-18, as well as typically developing girls and boys. It found that girls with ASD showed similar levels of autism symptoms as boys with ASD, and higher levels of internalizing symptoms like depression compared to boys with ASD and typically developing girls during adolescence. The study suggests that girls with ASD resemble boys with ASD in terms of autism traits, but may be at increased risk for conditions like depression as teenagers due to both their ASD and female sex.
This study analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 1,143 individuals ages 16-22 to examine patterns of sexual violence perpetration over time. Three key profiles of perpetration were identified for both younger (16-18) and older (19+) age groups: 1) a high perpetration profile with a high probability of sexual harassment, rape, coercive sex, and sexual assault; 2) a middle perpetration profile with a high probability of sexual harassment; and 3) a low perpetration profile with low probabilities of any perpetration. While most individuals remained stable in their perpetration profiles over time, some escalated or reduced their perpetration behaviors. Few gender differences were found except that males ages 16-18 were more
The document summarizes a study on young adult female perpetrators of sexual violence in the United States. The study surveyed 779 youth ages 17-25 online in 2016. It found that slightly over a third of reported sexual violence perpetration behaviors were committed by women. Specifically, 34% of female perpetrators reported engaging in sexual assault, 38% in rape, and 37% in coercive sex. Most female perpetrators knew the male victims prior to the assault, which commonly involved pressuring or making the victim feel guilty rather than physical force. Perpetrators reported feeling horny, angry or guilty as reasons for the aggression. [END SUMMARY]
This study uses latent class analysis to identify patterns of response inconsistency, or "misreporting", in survey responses about sexual violence perpetration. The analysis identified three latent classes - high, sexual harassment, and low/no perpetration - for both 16-18 year olds and 19+ year olds. Specificity was high for both age groups but sensitivity was low, indicating it is difficult to identify perpetrators based on self-reported behavior alone. For 16-18 year olds, evidence was found for both under-reporting and over-reporting, while for older individuals over-reporting appeared more common. The next steps will identify predictors of biased reporting and compare results controlling for measurement error.
This study examines the association between childhood sexual abuse and negative body image in women. The author hypothesizes that women who experienced sexual abuse as children will be more likely to have negative body image as adults. A mixed methods approach will be used, collecting data through standardized scales measuring childhood trauma, sexual abuse experiences, body satisfaction, and body esteem. Open-ended questions will also ask women to describe how sexual abuse has impacted their body image. The findings could help social workers better identify and address issues like depression, low self-esteem, and eating disorders in clients who experienced childhood sexual abuse. Future research should also explore these impacts in male survivors of sexual abuse.
This study analyzed whether people can subconsciously detect the sexual orientation of others based on facial features alone. 43 students viewed photos of faces and rated them on attractiveness and sexual orientation. The results showed that gay participants were better at detecting homosexuality in their own gender, while straight females were better at detecting homosexuality in males. Both gay and straight participants tended to rate faces of straight individuals as more attractive. This suggests people may have unconscious awareness of others' sexual orientation based solely on facial features.
This study investigated whether the previously observed association between pedophilia and lower IQ scores is influenced by the source of patient referrals. The study analyzed data from 832 male patients referred to a clinic for sexual behavior evaluations. Patients were assigned to groups based on their erotic preferences for children or adults, as assessed by phallometric testing. Results showed lower IQ scores and increased rates of non-right-handedness were associated with pedophilia, regardless of whether patients were referred by lawyers, parole/probation officers, or other sources. This supported the conclusion that the link between pedophilia and cognitive function is real and not due to referral biases. The findings were interpreted as evidence that neurodevelopmental problems may increase
Child Abuse Linked To Cancer In AdulthoodJuly Simon
A study from the University of Toronto found that childhood physical abuse is associated with a 49% increased risk of cancer later in life. Researchers analyzed data from over 13,000 Canadians and found that 7.4% reported physical abuse as children and were later diagnosed with cancer. Even after accounting for adult behaviors and socioeconomic factors, childhood abuse was still linked to a 47% higher chance of cancer. The researchers hypothesize that chronic stress from abuse may increase cortisol levels and suppress the immune system, but more research is still needed to fully understand the connection.
This study examined trajectories of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in a sample of 1,170 male adolescent offenders to predict later violence and substance use. It identified three trajectories of CU traits (low, moderate, high) and found that membership in the high CU trajectory, particularly combined with elevated early conduct problems, predicted higher levels of violence and substance use over time. It also found that the effects of high CU trajectory combined with elevated conduct problems were stronger for those with higher executive control. This highlights how identifying subgroups based on CU trajectories can improve understanding of developmental pathways leading to severe antisocial behavior.
This study aims to examine how psychosocial maturity relates to risk-taking behaviors in young adults ages 18-23. Psychosocial maturity encompasses responsibility, perspective-taking, and impulse control. While previous research has focused on adolescents, this study seeks to understand its relationship to actual decision-making and risks like alcohol use, reckless behaviors, and criminal acts in young adulthood. Approximately 150 college students will complete online surveys assessing psychosocial maturity, drinking habits, risk-taking, and delinquency. The results from early 2014 are expected to provide insight into psychosocial development beyond adolescence and its links to risk behaviors in young adults.
anal use of female condoms NDG Edits 02102016NextF1Nikole Gettings
This document discusses anal sex and the potential use of female condoms during anal intercourse. It provides background information on surveys that have assessed anal sex practices and STI rates. Studies on men who have sex with men's experiences using female condoms for anal sex are summarized, finding issues like discomfort, difficulty with insertion, and slippage. Gaps in research are noted. Recommendations include further exploring proper use techniques, safety, efficacy compared to male condoms for STI protection during anal sex, and increasing access and education.
Hormonal Influences on Female Gender Identity & BehaviorSue-Mei Slogar
This document discusses research on the influence of hormones on gender identity and behavior. Several studies are reviewed that show prenatal testosterone exposure increases male-typical behavior in both males and females. Individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia or androgen insensitivity syndrome also demonstrate more male-typical traits and identities than controls. However, the findings are mixed, and social and medical factors complicate determining the role of biology alone. Overall, gender appears to be influenced by a complex interplay of biological and environmental factors.
This document discusses sexuality issues related to breast cancer and provides answers. It begins with disclosures from the author about consulting and speaking for pharmaceutical companies. It then discusses how oncology care has expanded to include sexual medicine and focusing on the patient. Studies show low rates of sexuality discussions between patients and healthcare providers before or after breast cancer treatment. The types of female sexual dysfunction are defined according to diagnostic criteria. Estimates of the prevalence of various sexual complaints after breast cancer, such as desire disorders, arousal and lubrication concerns, and dyspareunia, range from 16-100% according to different studies. Factors that can impact sexual function in breast cancer survivors are discussed, including lifestyle factors, mindfulness-based approaches, and hormone
This study examined the relationship between gender and sexual risk behaviors among males and females. A mixed methods approach was used, including focus groups with 12 participants and an online/hard copy survey completed by 90 participants. The survey assessed demographics, sexual activity levels, and risk behaviors. Results found no statistically significant difference between males and females in terms of risk behaviors. However, qualitative findings suggested alcohol and drug use contribute to higher risk behaviors. In conclusion, gender alone did not predict risk, though other factors like substance use were implicated.
The MAP Study: Knowledge Creation & Knowledge TranslationChristine Wekerle
The MAP Study is a longitudinal epidemiological study that follows 345 youth ages 14-17 who are involved with child protective services in Toronto over 2.5 years. It aims to describe their health, development trajectories, and examine factors linking maltreatment to outcomes. Initial findings show MAP youth experience higher rates of physical and sexual abuse, emotional and physical neglect compared to national averages. They also exhibit poorer physical health, more residential instability, lower school achievement, less employment, higher substance use, earlier risky sexual behavior, and greater depression and suicidal ideation. Caseworkers' ratings of youth functioning did not predict later suicide attempts, but youth self-reports of ongoing suicidal thoughts did.
The theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) models predict behavioral intentions and behaviors. The TRA model from 1967 examines behavioral intentions rather than attitudes, and the TPB added perceived behavioral control in 1988. The models assess behavioral, normative, and control beliefs that influence attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control and ultimately behavioral intention. While effective in explaining cognitive factors influencing decisions, the models omit external demographic and personality factors and may not predict behaviors with long delays between intention and action.
120 students participated in a survey about body image consisting of questions on knowledge, physical activity, environment, and attitude. The majority were sophomores aged 21, with 76 living off-campus and 44 on-campus. Results showed that knowledge of nutrition and exercise recommendations was highest for grains and fruits/vegetables, and lowest for oils. 31.7% engaged in low-impact activity 8+ times a week, with 63.3% of off-campus students attending the gym more than on-campus (26.7%). Females and younger students relied more on friends/family for health info and had less knowledge. The study aims to determine the dominant factor influencing body image and support past findings
Mehta, Sunner, Crosby & Shrier 2011_What is SexClare Mehta
This document summarizes a study that investigated young women's definitions of sex through semi-structured interviews. The study found that young women's definitions of sex varied, with some including oral and anal sex and others not. Participants described factors like time between acts, condom use, and erection as defining separate sex events. Some saw sex beginning with foreplay while others defined it as beginning with vaginal penetration. Views also varied on when sex ended, such as with withdrawal or orgasm. Relationship type influenced some participants' definitions. The study concluded that variations in definitions may impact responses to clinical questions and understanding of STI risk.
With the objective of evaluating sexual behavior and perspective on sex education to a sample of 110 students belonging to a secondary school in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, a descriptive study was carried out with a longitudinal section, with a non - Field experiment. The students were given a survey with different ways of answering. The first part of the instrument measured aspects related to sexual behavior and the second, knowledge about sex education. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences (P< 0.05) for items: At what age did you first have sex? How many sexual partners have you had? Do you use any contraceptive method regularly? For the rest of the variables there was no significance. It is concluded that the sexual activity of the sample studied is not precocious, the product of good sexual orientation in the home.

Bitsie, K. (2015). Cancer Risk and Cancer Screening in a Pacific Northwest TribeNatalie Chin
This study assessed cancer risk factors and screening in the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe in Oregon through a survey of 283 tribal members. Compared to non-Hispanic whites in Oregon, tribal members were more likely to be obese and current smokers but had similar or higher rates of cancer screening. Specifically, tribal members were more likely to have received fecal occult blood tests and clinical breast exams recently. While some risk factors were elevated, cancer screening rates were generally favorable and suggested the tribe's health programs were having a positive impact.
The document summarizes several studies related to body image. It then describes a study conducted by the author that investigated whether 30 participants (15 male, 15 female) found "normal" or "skinny" women to be more attractive. Participants viewed pictures of normal and skinny women and completed a survey. Results showed no gender difference in preferences. Two-thirds found normal women more attractive, though the difference was not significant. Participants did significantly rate normal women as healthier looking. The study had limitations with a small sample size but provides insight into perceptions of attractiveness.
The document summarizes an analysis of a sexual risk reduction (HIV/AIDS) intervention program for African American women led by Ralph DiClemente. The randomized controlled trial aimed to increase consistent condom use through skills training based on social cognitive theory and the theory of gender and power. Results found women in the intervention had 2.1-4.1 higher odds of consistent condom use and improved communication compared to the control group. However, the study had limitations like not measuring long-term condom use and a p-value above 0.05, indicating no significant association between treatment and other factors.
This study was a test of the hypothesis that demographic variables (e.g. gender, education) would predict who would be closed minded about the idea of asexuality as a sexual orientation. The participants received the link to the survey on the researcher’s Facebook page. The survey asked the participants’ awareness of asexuality, educational background, feelings towards the topic of sex, religious background, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and where they were raised. The survey also asked three questions regarding the participants’ beliefs about asexuality as a sexual orientation. The results did show a significant affect on attitudes of gender, and previous education about asexuality. The study also found a strong but not significant relationship between attitudes and religiosity.

Child Sexual Abuse & Adolescent Development: Moving from Trauma To Resilience - Findings from The Maltreatment and Adolescent Pathways (MAP) Research Study
The document discusses the development of an online questionnaire called Sexunzipped to measure sexual wellbeing. It describes challenges in defining and measuring concepts related to sexual wellbeing. It outlines the domains and questions included in the Sexunzipped questionnaire, which was developed using existing measures and input from young people. Focus groups with young people provided feedback on question wording and response options and indicated the questionnaire was convenient, interesting, and made them think about their experiences.
Son preference and fertility behavior evidence from Viet Nam - Project statementHanh To
This project seeks to contribute to the current literature of son preference and sex imbalance in Vietnam and other developing countries by extending the measure of “son preference” to birth interval, number of children and probability of using contraceptive methods.
National studies have demonstrated that LGBTQ adolescents are disproportionately impacted by negative health outcomes including STDs, HIV, and unplanned pregnancy. In 2014, Essential Access Health surveyed LAUSD school-based Wellness Centers; gaps in current knowledge and practice related to inclusive clinical care of LGBTQ patients were identified. In 2016, we implemented staff trainings to improve LGBTQ-inclusive services. Based on training evaluation, areas for further technical assistance were identified, and used to develop online training resources. This presentation will discuss tools and best practices for implementing trainings on inclusive care.
1) The study examined whether a defendant's sexual orientation or a juror's personality traits would influence guilty verdicts. 168 participants read a criminal case vignette varying the defendant's gender (male or female) and sexual orientation (heterosexual or homosexual).
2) Results found that homosexual defendants, whether male or female, received higher guilty ratings than their heterosexual counterparts. Female participants also gave higher guilty ratings to homosexual defendants compared to male participants.
3) While juror personality traits did not directly influence verdicts, traits like openness, agreeableness and self-actualization correlated with lower guilty ratings overall. However, these traits did not reduce discrimination against homosexual defendants.
The document summarizes a study that used Q-methodology to examine college males' perceptions of their mental health. Nine college students, including five males, sorted statements about mental health into categories of agreement. Results showed the strongest opinions were about self-harm. Both genders viewed resources and culture/family as important influences. Limitations included a small sample size drawn only from one university department. Future research could focus statements specifically on self-harm and resources to better understand students' needs.
The document discusses a study examining self-efficacy, body image, and sexual adjustment in women with breast cancer. Key findings include:
1) Women with breast cancer had low self-efficacy and their former sexual adjustment and body image negatively affected their post-diagnosis sexual functions.
2) Women who underwent mastectomy or lacked partner support/sexuality education had lower scores on measures of self-efficacy and sexual/body image adjustment.
3) There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy in self-care and better sexual adjustment, sexual function, and body image. Support from oncology professionals is important for women's physical, social and emotional needs after a breast cancer diagnosis.
Females had a more positive attitude towards romantic relationships than males. There was no significant gender difference in views on what a partner can provide or physical attractiveness. Males held more traditional views supporting the concept of double standards in relationships compared to females. The study found both similarities and differences in how males and females view romantic and sexual relationships, contradicting some past research. Further research should examine the influence of other factors like religion and relationship status.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

>guys circumcised as adults are doubtlessly in a unique position to comment on the impact of a prepuce on sexual
intercourse. we examine sexual characteristic results in men who have skilled sexual sex within the uncircumcised and
circumcised states. materials and strategies: men 18 years old or older when circumcised have been identified by means of
billing information at some point of a five-yr length at an academic scientific center. medical charts have been reviewed for
confirmation of the system and to perceive the indication(s). these men have been surveyed to assess erectile function,
penile sensitivity, sexual hobby and typical pleasure. information had been analyzed using paired t checks to examine
category rankings before and after circumcision. consequences: a total of 123 guys were circumcised as adults. indications
for circumcision protected phimosis in sixty four% of cases, balanitis in 17%, condyloma in 10%, redundant foreskin in 9%
and optional in 7%. the reaction fee became forty four% among capability responders. imply age of responders become forty
two years at circumcision and 46 years at survey. person circumcision seems to result in worsened erectile feature (p =
zero.01), decreased penile sensitivity (p = zero.08), no trade in sexual activity (p = 0.22) and progressed delight (p = zero.04).
of the guys 50% suggested blessings and 38% pronounced harm. typical, 62% of fellows had been glad with having been
circumcised. conclusions: our findings can also help urologists higher suggest men undergoing circumcision as adults.
prospective studies are had to better apprehend the connection among circumcision and sexual function. ok ey w ords :
circumcision, person, sex. [CIRP note: Most (84%) of the men in this study had a preexisting problem of phimosis, balanitis,
or condyloma. There was no clear sample of normal, healthy, intact men for comparison. Even so, thirty-eight percent of the
circumcised men were dissatisfied with the results of their circumcision.] clinical information that physicians can use as a
foundation for recommending or no longer recommending circumcision in neonates or adults is restrained. controversy
surrounding neonatal circumcision keeps to exist. neither the american academy of pediatrics, american academy of own
family physicians nor american urological association has a selected advice endorsing or opposing circumcision. 1-3
however, those corporations do have policy statements on circumcision recommending the unbiased discussion of the
evidence concerning this system. the proof regarding the effect of circumcision on sexual function is lacking. ideals fluctuate
on how circumcision influences the sensitivity of the glans and satisfaction with sexual sex. some accept as true with that
circumcision consequences in diminished sensitivity of the glans, 1, 4 while others agree with that it outcomes in more
satisfying sexual intercourse. 5-7 a have a look at through pienkos, a military medical professional who surveyed men
soliciting for circumcision throughout the korean warfare, found out that guys requested circumcision with the expectancy of
advanced sexual delight. 8 the sensitivity of the glans and satisfaction with sexual sex as dependent on the presence of
foreskin have acquired little formal investigation. masters and johnson achieved neurological trying out at the glans of
circumcised and uncircumcised men locating no massive difference in sensation. five to our understanding no have a look at
on this regard has been carried out on guys undergoing circumcisions as adults. men who've passed through circumcision
as adults are potentially in a unique role to touch upon the impact of a prepuce on sexual intercourse. we look at erectile
function, penile sensitivity, sexual interest and basic satisfaction in men who have skilled sexual intercourse in the
uncircumcised and circumcised states. contributors. we diagnosed guys who have been circumcised at age 18 years or older
by means of reviewing billing information on the college of north carolina at chapel hill clinical center among january 1, 1995
and december 31, 1999 for modern procedural terminology code 54161. scientific charts have been reviewed to verify that
the process have been achieved and to decide the warning signs. we then evolved a survey in-strument to accumulate
additional statistics. the institutional evaluation board at the college of north carolina at chapel hill accredited this examine.
survey device. we investigated the impact of circumcision on erectile characteristic, penile sensitivity, sexual interest and
overall delight. existing indexes, scales and questionnaires had been reviewed for capability to evaluate those classes.
despite the fact that positive character questions have been relevant, no device have been specially designed to assess
these sexual function outcomes. items from the global index of erectile function, changes in sexual functioning questionnaire,
quick sexual characteristic questionnaire, center for marital and sexual health functioning questionnaire, and country wide
fitness and social existence survey have been covered or adapted. 9-thirteen. the survey contained inquiries to reap
demographic data (age, race), co-morbidities (despair, diabetes, heart disorder) and basic sexual histories (sexual
orientation, sexual activity before and after circumcision). to assess sexual feature results we used likert scales starting from
1 to five to measure energy of agreement/war of words with statements and to quantify the frequency of precise sexual
practices. we asked responses for before and after circumcision. we additionally covered open ended questions to
accumulate descriptive facts approximately perceived benefits and harms, and any general feedback. discussions have been
held with men who had gone through adult circumcision to perceive troubles important to them. their input helped us
determine what forms of questions to include inside the survey. as soon as designed, the survey become pretested and
modifications were made. the anonymous surveys have been coded to allow tracking. addresses have been received from
billing statistics. after the primary mailing three successive mailings have been sent to nonresponders. statistical evaluation.
we compared responders to nonresponders by way of age at circumcision and age at survey the use of paired t
assessments. we used chi-rectangular goodness of healthy analysis to examine indication and pearson's chi-square take a
look at for race. we then restrained similarly analysis to heterosexual guys to decorate inner validity of the have a look at. we
analyzed all heterosexual responders collectively to locate the overall impact of circumcision on all guys, and we also
analyzed the subgroup of fellows who had sex with the equal accomplice earlier than and after circumcision to govern for
distinctive sexual reviews with extraordinary companions. for person items at the survey we completed paired t checks at the
likert rankings earlier than and after circumcision. the likert ratings for 3 items had been mixed to yield each of the four class
ratings of sexual function outcomes, such that each one classes had a ability maximum rating of 15. the survey objects used
to calculate each category rating are shown in the appendix. pattern length changed into not sufficiently huge to carry out
13. thing analyses. gadgets have been grouped into a priori classes based totally on similarity of content material. higher
rankings for all of the classes constitute will increase, and so for a few items the likert scale scoring changed into reversed.
consequently, all responders had four category rankings for sexual characteristic before and four rankings for after
circumcision. we used paired t exams to compare every class score before and after circumcision. we adjusted for age by
using acting linear regression in which the outcome become the class score after circumcision, the principle exposure
became the class rating before circumcision, and the capability covariable changed into the distinction between the age at
survey and age at circumcision. the age at survey differed from the age at circumcision by the point elapsed because the
procedure. considering that guys served as their personal controls, we had been able to modify for age with the aid of the
usage of alternate in age. we compared the superiority of co-morbidities earlier than and after circumcision using mcnemar's
chi-square check, and seeing that they did not range notably, we did not in any other case modify for them. all statistical
analyses had been achieved the use of stata 6.zero (stata organization 1999, university station, texas). from billing records
133 sufferers had been identified as having had adult circumcisions and 123 of those techniques have been confirmed on
chart review. the symptoms for the strategies are proven in desk 1. phimosis changed into the maximum commonplace
indication, nine men (7%) underwent an non-obligatory method and 1 guy become circumcised for penile cancer. of the 123
surveys to begin with mailed 5 had been back with the aid of family individuals indicating that the patient was lifeless.
another 20 surveys had been again by means of the postal provider due to the fact the deal with was incorrect and no
forwarding information existed. a total of forty three completed surveys had been lower back for a response charge of forty
four% for potential responders and a fee of 35% for all patients having undergone person circumcision. the responders have
been representative of nonresponders by using age at circumcision, age at survey and indication, however no longer by way
of race (table 2). no hispanic men spoke back. of the responders forty (93%) diagnosed themselves as heterosexual and no
guys suggested that they have been bisexual. of all responders 90% had had intercourse earlier than the manner, 86% had
sex after the method, and 79% had sex before and after the circumcision, along with 72% had sex before and after with the
equal associate. individuals who had intercourse after circumcision waited a mean of nine weeks. as compared to before
circumcision, men pronounced reduced erectile feature, decreased penile sensitivity, no change in sexual interest and
improved pride after circumcision (table 3). we determined essentially the identical tendencies, although the magnitude
differed, some of the subgroup of men who had sex with the equal associate before and after circumcision besides that these
guys skilled improved sexual hobby. the reduction in erectile function changed into statistically tremendous. a few men were
not able to have erection after the system however even folks that have been able to have intercourse with the identical
companion earlier than and after the system stated worsened erectile characteristic. this distinction remained significant
when adjusted for age and co-morbidities. some feedback have been: "erections are shorter time now." "penis smaller. now
have erectile disorder." the stated decrease in penile sensitivity that resulted from circumcision bordered on statistical
significance. men who had sex with the identical partner earlier than and after circumcision suggested extra reduction in
penile sensitivity than different men. how guys considered the decreased penile sensitivity differed: "really much less
sensitivity facilitates prolong intercourse." " i were warned that i'd lose sensitivity, however standard, i experience that i was
no longer absolutely knowledgeable." the all responders group mentioned worsened erectile characteristic and reduced
penile sensation, in addition to decrease in sexual pastime that became now not statistically considerable. but, guys in the
same accomplice institution truely reported expanded sexual interest however this too turned into no longer statistically
enormous. the comments were blended: "no sex drive." "sex is a lot higher." a better pride score represented a extra
desirable appearance of the penis and much less ache. after circumcision there has been a statistically substantial
development in how men notion the penis looked to them and to their companions, and a reduction in pain skilled with
erection. "it don't harm to have sex or get an erection." "extra pleasing to observe." "i feel like i've a penis that i am pleased
with now." after circumcision men were more likely to have their partners begin sexual activity with them, much more likely to
receive oral intercourse, and as in all likelihood to carry out anal sex, try specific sexual positions and masturbate, however
none of those changes turned into statistically big. the subgroup of fellows who had intercourse with the same accomplice
before and after circumcision have been more likely to have their companions start sexual activity with them (p = 0.05), more
likely to receive oral sex (p = 0.08) as probably to perform anal sex and masturbate, and much more likely to strive specific
sexual positions (p = 0.33). of the responders forty seven% pronounced that intercourse was bodily extra pleasing and forty
seven% also stated that their intercourse lives were greater gratifying after circumcision. extra feedback blanketed
progressed penis cleanliness and easier voiding after circumcision. while asked typically about benefits and harms, 50%
stated a perceived advantage or development, and 38% stated a perceived hassle or trouble due to the technique. common,
62% of men had been glad with having been circumcised. even though many have speculated approximately the impact of a
foreskin on sexual characteristic, the current nation of information is based totally on anecdote instead of clinical evidence.
myths have often addressed modifications in penile sensitivity however a few have additionally regarded sexual pastime and
satisfaction with look. little has been written approximately the impact of circumcision on erectile feature. few research have
investigated the relationship between male circumcision and sexual characteristic. 14. delight with sexual activity may want
to mean amusement of the shared sexual act and being an amazing sexual accomplice, or it may mirror a nice sensation
from physical stimulation. many believe that circumcision reduces penile sensitivity 1, four however a few consider that it
prolongs sex 7 and offers greater satisfaction at some stage in sexual sex. 5-7 theories to explain the decreased sensitivity
are that the epithelium of a circumcised glans turns into cornified three and sensory nerve receptors in the glans come to be
desensitized from consistent stimulation. 15 taylor et al offer a histologically based totally theory on how the prepuce
enhances sensitivity thru it is "ridged band." sixteen masters and johnson performed exteroceptive and light tactile
discrimination on the ventral and dorsal surfaces of the penis, with specific attention to the glans, of circumcised and
14. uncircumcised guys finding no clinically extensive difference. 5 we observed a statistically massive lower in penile sensation
following circumcision in men however our respondents had blended feelings. some responders appeared to be better
capable of fulfill their partners after circumcision but a few guys were not happy with the reduced sensation of physical
stimulation. plainly sexual satisfaction manner different things to specific men and must be greater specifically described in
future studies. despite the fact that 1 fantasy concerning the arrival of the penis is that the exposed glans is more aesthetically
pleasing, 17 some dad and mom determine to have the newborns circumcised because they believe it will make him
appearance better. 18 in a survey of college girls 87% expressed preference for photographs of circumcised over
uncircumcised penises. 19 we discovered that the guys in our observe and their companions had been more likely to
assume that the penis seemed true after circumcision. laumann et al analyzed facts from the countrywide health and social
lifestyles survey and discovered that circumcised guys were barely less in all likelihood to revel in sexual disorder and had
been incredibly more likely to have interaction in more problematic sexual practices, including oral sex, anal intercourse and
masturbation than uncircumcised men. 20 we located that circumcised guys have been as an alternative much more likely to
have erectile disorder. our examine populations range in that we evaluated guys circumcised as adults however the
worsened erectile feature remained whilst adjusted for age and the presence of diabetes, depression and cardiovascular
disease. a few guys suggested subject that the penis turned into smaller after circumcision. perhaps circumcision in a few
guys is psychologically demanding and interferes with erectile feature. like laumann et al, we determined multiplied
frequency of oral intercourse in men after circumcision however we discovered no change in the frequency of anal
intercourse or masturbation. because this have a look at become move-sectional instead of prospective, it is limited by
consider bias. but, the directionality of that bias is doubtful. in view that we did no longer investigate guys's expectations
earlier than they had been circumcised, we're unable to touch upon how their expectancies may have affected their biases.
another difficulty is that guys may additionally had been recalling sexual studies before circumcision whilst stricken by the
clinical problem that changed into the indication for the system. however, if circumcision turned into speculated to accurate
the hassle then we'd have predicted absolutely favorable outcomes. as a substitute we found worsened erectile
characteristic and decreased penile sensitivity. our small sample length reduces the strength of the look at and, therefore, the
capacity to come across small but extensive changes and, although responders to the survey seem similar to nonresponders,
generalizeability may be constrained. our evaluation of most effective responders and of fellows who underwent circumcision
instead of opportunity remedies creates capability for choice bias. this study is affected person orientated and analyzes
subjective reports. objective statistics, which includes duplex doppler ultrasound and penile biothesiometry, are needed to
investigate erectile function and penile sensation before definitive conclusions may be made. Enlarge Your Penis By
considering we studied circumcision in adults, our findings might not be generalizeable to neonatal circumcision. our survey
instrument was now not officially tested for reliability or validity. to our knowledge we gift the first look at to assess in
particular guys who experienced sexual intercourse inside the uncircumcised and circumcised states. although our observe
has a few methodological barriers, it contributes to our information about the effect and consequences of adult circumcision.
we determined that adult circumcision appears to result in worsened erectile feature, reduced penile sensitivity and improved
pride. normal, most people of guys had been happy that they'd undergone circumcision which indicates that during this
populace factors similarly to sexual function have an effect on pleasure. our findings may help urologists higher recommend
guys about adult circumcision. prospective studies, which include people with goal measurements, are needed to higher
recognize the relationship among circumcision and sexual feature. david collins supplied administrative assistance with this
