This document discusses internet sex addiction and its impacts. Some key points include:
- Pornography consumption on the internet is widespread, with over 70% of porn traffic occurring during work hours and children as young as 11 being exposed.
- Sex addiction can negatively impact relationships, productivity, and mental health, with up to 15% of online porn users developing disruptive behaviors.
- The pornography industry generates over $97 billion in annual revenue worldwide, dwarfing other entertainment industries, yet prevalence estimates of sex addiction remain inconsistent due to lack of research funding.
The depiction of erotic behavior(as in picture or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement is known as pornography.Pornography has wide range of effects on mind, relationship, working areas, etc.

Biological Systematical scheme of the Pattern that is Sex. As a behavioral pattern, there is a distinct systematic ritual with interaction and interconnections. But how can we improve 'Bad Sex'?
1. It’s safer at the shallow end. What I mean by this is that, evidence suggests, the outer third of the vagina is the most sensitive, so deep thrusting isn’t essential - at least not for her! Instead, try ‘dipping’ the tip of your member in and out of her vagina.
2. There are more than two erogenous zones. Yes the breasts and pubic area are obvious hot-spots but they get a lot hotter when stimulated in conjunction with other areas. Try kissing and gently stroking her neck, back, stomach and inner thighs.
3. Women are slow burners. For women, good sex takes time. Women are also more emotional lovers. So dedicating 10-15 minutes prior to sex, cuddling, kissing and holding your partner will be infinitely more successful at getting her aroused than spending a frustrating 5 minutes rubbing an unresponsive clitoris.
4. Tell her how great she looks. And mean it. On the whole, women don’t love to be naked. The second her clothes come off she feels vulnerable and sensitive. When she undresses, tell her what you love about her body. And if she tries to turn the lights off, turn them back on to show her she has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Looking back at all the progress humanity has made through the last few centuries, it's perfectly natural to feel a little bit moved by the power of human ingenuity and our thrive for constant improvement. It's natural, but also (for the most part) wrong. If we really looked into the history of our technological development, we'd notice а pretty intriguing pattern, often intentionally left unmentioned. Well, that is, until now.
We understand that a dependence might focus on one person, however it influences everybody associateded with the circumstance. Whether you're struggling with an Cybersex addiction or trying to sustain someone else throughout rehabilitation, you've come to the ideal location. The goal of sex obsession therapy is never to do away with sex from a person's life. It is only to open the way for enjoyment of sex in a healthy and balanced and ideal means.Visit our site http://www.sexaddictionscounseling.com for more information on Cybersex Addiction

urge to view Internet pornography. Accurate statistics re-
garding the use of Internet pornography are difficult to
locate; however, available research demonstrates prolific
numbers of pornographic Internet sites. According to
available data, "sex" is the number one search topic on
the Internet, with at least 4.2 million reported porno-
graphic websites currently available, signaling a fourfold
increase since 2003. Daily, there are 68 million porno-
graphic search engine requests.' An estimated 40 million
adults in the U.S. regularly view Internet pornography,
10 percent of whom admit to having an addiction to
Internet pornography. While males constitute the ma-
jority of users, one in three women view pornography.^
Researchers now predict that millions of Americans are
addicted to Internet pornography. In fact, sources assert
that the number of users of Internet pornography has
skyrocketed, making Internet pornography the foremost
addiction in the world.^
Studies also indicate that boys aged 12 to 17 are
the largest consumers of Internet pornography. This
is because of hormonal changes during puberty that
enhance sexual arousal and curiosity and contribute to
interest in sexual exploration. Recent surveys report that

The expansive reach of Internet pornography has

reported. In his pastoral letter. Bought at a Creat Price,

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

pictures, explicit sounds.
10. Some statistics
Sex Industry Statistics (2003)
– $57.0 billion revenue world-wide
– $12.0 billion of this is US revenue, more than all combined revenues of all
professional football, baseball and basketball franchises or the combined
revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC (6.2 billion). $2.5 of the $12 billion is
related to internet porn.
Porn on the Web
– 25% of total search engine requests are porn-related.
– 8% of total emails are porn-related. Average daily pornographic emails are
4.5 per internet user
– 12% of total websites are pornographic
Affecting Children
– 100,000 websites offer illegal child pornography.
– Child pornography generates $3 billion annually.
– 90% of 8-16 year olds have viewed porn online (most while doing
homework).
– Average age of first internet exposure to pornography is 11 years old.
– Largest consumer of internet pornography 12-17 age group.
11. Statistics II
Affecting Adults
– 20% of men admit accessing pornography at work
– 13% of women admit accessing pornography at work
– 53% of Promise Keeper men viewed pornography the previous week in one
study
– 10% of adults admit having internet sexual addiction.
Business Productivity
– 70 percent of all internet porn traffic occurs during the 9-to-5 workday.2
– Nearly one out of three companies has terminated an employee for
inappropriate web use.2 (Some of this could be for liability reasons
discussed below.)
– According to Internet Data Center research 30 to 40 percent of employee
internet activity is non business-related, costing millions of dollars in
productivity.2 This does not mean all the activity is porn related. For
example, the cost to businesses in lost employee productivity from the
internet broadcasts of the Starr report and the Clinton grand-jury video was
in excess of $450 million, according to a study reported by ZDNet.2
12. Statistics
Tracking data from 2010 by Nielsen
Online, showed that more than 25% of
those with Internet access at work
viewed pornography during working
hours. This is an increase from 2007
figures
13. As of May, 2010, Alexa research, which
tracks Internet usage, includes two porn
sites in the top 503 for worldwide traffic.
This may not seem that impressive until
you realize that almost all of the top 50
sites are social networking sites and
that CNN.com ranks 57th
14. 25 million Americans visit cyber-sex
sites between 1-10 hours per week.
Another 4.7 million in excess of 11
hours per week.

350 members of the American Academy
of Matrimonial Lawyers, the nation‟s
top 1,600 divorce attorneys, met in 2002
for an annual conference. Almost two
thirds of these lawyers said that the
Internet had played a significant role in
divorces they had handled during the
last year. The problems most cited by
the attorneys were:

sites - 56 percent
3) Excessive time on computer - 47
percent
4) Excessive time communicating in

25. School children
In 2008, a Catholic high school in the
Midwest –USA. surveyed the
pornography use of 175 of their 350
senior boys, who were taking a class on
relationships. The results of the survey
indicated that 48% were viewing
pornography one or more times each
week. Out of the boys who had viewed
pornography, 36% had feelings of
addiction to pornography, and 68% said
26. The high school also surveyed their
entire freshman class, and 29% of the
freshman boys were viewing
pornography one or more times each
week. Out of the freshman boys who
had viewed pornography, 12% had
feelings of addiction, and 74% said that
their parents were unaware of their
pornography use
27. Almost 90% of these students were
from Catholic families, and the school
has conducted other surveys on
pornography over the last three years,
and found results that were quite
similar. Of the boys that were viewing
pornography, between 80-85%
indicated that they were accessing
pornography through the Internet.
28. Impact on Society

Substance abuse (from Cocain to Viagra)
Depressive Episodes: caused by negative psychosocial
consequences of the cyber-addiction or the break-up of
relationships.

complex rituals to conceal their dependency and to make sure
their family, colleagues or company cannot access their “hidden
area”.
Paranoid Thinking: Fear of being discovered and being
ashamed lets them associate even marginal observations with
personal threats. (Examples: If a police car passes: “I hope they
do not come to confiscate my computer!” – If the boss asks for a
meeting: “Does he want to confront me with my Internet
activities during last week?”)

87. Assalamualaikum,
I tried listening to Quran, being around
people, but the cerebral electricity
would not stop. It went on for many
months during the last semester of my
premedical course work in college. All
of my thoughts are extreme, like for
example, I can get AIDS from
something that is not considered a risk
factor. The "What if" questions never
stop.
88. It's like my brain is always on
emergency mode, where I have to use
all my coping mechanisms to keep an
outside appearance of calm. These
mechanisms break down, and I feel
physically tired. It's like a hamster on a
wheel. I work as a research assistant at
a company . I got accepted to medical
school, but I cannot continue so long as
I am experiencing these symptoms..

Obsessive Personality Disorder has

when all of this started. I have

get out of one horrible thought by
thinking about something that is

is not a risk factor. I've spoken to
infectious disease experts, and they tell
me to deal with this as an emotional
issue.
93. Right now, I am taking Paroxetine
Hydrochloride at 40mg, so I do not feel
anxiety attacks, and I do experience
decreased libido and weight gain. I am
trying to continue my studies in
medical school, but I cannot get past
these intrusive thoughts on my own.
94. My parents, especially my mother, are
worried about me. I have put them
through so much psychological trouble.
At one time, Dr. N. suggested that I get
married. But I don't know. Will that
improve my situation, or will it make
me worse? I beg you in earnest to help
me as if I am your son. Also, when I
decreased the Paxil, and stopped it for a
few days, the pornographic
95. Addiction requires
Detoxification
The biological component of sexual
addiction is not to be underestimated. It
can be compared to substance abuse.
„A Sex-Addict is like an alcoholic, but it
is his own the brain which is his bar.“
This makes decisive withdrawal
necessary.
In contrast to substance abuse, here a
return to „controlled sex“ would be the
96. Risk factors for compulsive
sexuality
Lessons from Addiction Research:
Personality: impulse control, self
esteem, introversion, patterns of tension
reduction,
Disposition for addictive behavior upon
stimuli (Award-Dependence).
Inner emptiness, isolation, emotional
burnout, neglect of rewarding
interpersonal relationships.
Presence of harmful material (just a click
97. Risk factors II
Dealing with hidden emotional pain.
History of childhood trauma / neglect
Pathological search for new Stimulation.
Lack of inner discipline / behavioral
control
Rationalising negative behavior: „This
helps me to relax“ – „ I owe myself a
treat“ – „It„s only pictures“ etc.
Unrealistic expectations towards others,
sexual partners, emotional immaturity.
98. Treatment Factors
Addiction oriented primary therapist
– 3-5 years involvement
– 1st 2 years most intensive
12 Step sex addiction group to prevent
relapse
12 Step for other co-morbid addictions
Work the program, not just attend
– Find sponsor, step work, service
Early family involvement
99. What about medication?
Serotonin: produced as a side effect of addiction process.
Antidepressants are also elevating serotonin levels.
– Could Serotonin reduce Craving? – possibly reduce feelings of
emptiness and underlying depression.
Dopamin (increases desire in addiction)
– No proven strategies in this area without severe side effects
(neuroleptics).
Opiates: central in addiction, creating the feeling of being
„high“.
– Although there are opioid blockers there is no indication that they
reduce non-substance addiction.
Conclusion:
– Medication (unfortunately) is not a solution; perhaps partially a
support for behavior therapy, where a person is additionally
suffering from depression.
100. Psychotropic Medication
Treat for Mood, Anxiety Disorders
“Start low, go slow” may NOT work in
most cases
Need to target as more treatment
resistant:
– Major depressive illness
– Anxiety disorders

Be transparent towards your partner /
counselor.
Be accountable to a person you trust.

Other modalities?
Individual psychotherapy
Family therapy
Couples therapy
104. Goal of therapy: relationship
orientation
Not secular vs. Christian
BUT: individually centered vs.
stabilizing relationships.
Short term satisfaction vs. long-term
integrity.
Individual lust vs. an ecology of
relations.
Double moral standards vs. dignity,
respect and empathy.
