The anatomy and physiology of the female orgasm are often neglected. The female orgasm is a normal psychophysiological function to all women, and some even can achieve ejaculation as part of the norma...
Despite some efforts to enhance clitoral knowledge to increase women's sexual pleasure, a gendered orgasm gap persists. We aimed to provide contemporary data on people's knowledge about the clitoris a...
Orgasm is a phase of the human sexual response, and the possible discrepancies between male and female ways to experience it are still not clear in the literature. There is a lack of tools to adequate...
The subjective orgasm experience (SOE) is the psychological perception of orgasm sensations and closely related to sexual health. Here, SOE was studied through the context in which it is experienced (...
The increasing number of subjects with benign prostate obstruction (BPO) has become a worldwide concern. The sexual problem after benign prostate enlargement (BPE) surgery that has received the most a...
We evaluated the prospective, multicenter clinical data of 104 patients undergoing BPE surgery who reported maintaining sexual activity from January 2016 to November 2020. The endpoint of this study w...
Orgasm function was stable, improved, and degraded in 34% (n=35), 30% (n=31), and 36% (n=38) respectively. A deterioration in orgasm was statistically significant in men who maintained quality ejacula...
To enable the patient to maintain a satisfying and healthy sex life after any BPE surgery, urologist physicians should know the prevalence of orgasmic side effects after surgical treatment to provide ...
Grade 4....
The endogenous μ-opioid receptor (MOR) system plays a key role in the mammalian reward circuit. Human and animal experiments suggest the involvement of MORs in human sexual pleasure, yet this hypothes...
To assess the reported changes in orgasm quality and function of transgender men (TM) and transgender women (TW) after commencing gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT)....
We queried potential changes in orgasm function before and after commencing GAHT (minimum 1 year) among 130 consecutive TW and 33 TM. We queried the following domains under a uniform condition (mastur...
Within groups by gender, TW and TM reported similar responses to our inventory before starting GAHT. After commencing GAHT, TW reported notable changes in orgasm function: increase in lead-time necess...
GAHT has the potential to positively improve orgasm quality for transgender patients undergoing gender transition. It is important to share such data with patients prospectively before treatments....
In a confidential U.S. nationally representative survey of 2,525 adults (1300 women, 1225 men), we examined participants' event-level sexual behaviors, predictors of pleasure and orgasm, and perceived...
Postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction is known to affect the quality of life of women and the methods to treat it are more complex with majority requiring training under supervision....
To compare the efficacy of sexually induced orgasm along with Kegels exercises versus Kegels exercises alone as a treatment method to enhance postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength and sexual functio...
The prospective randomized two-arm study was conducted on sexually active primiparous women who had undergone uncomplicated vaginal deliveries. Those with risk factors for female sexual dysfunction an...
Postpartum pelvic floor strength and sexual function in 2 groups of women under study....
The study period was from January 2020 to December 2020. The Group 1 had 26 participants (mean age 29.69 ± 2.2 years) and Group 2 had 29 participants (mean age 30.07 ± 2.57 years). The sexual function...
Novel method of using naturally occurring sexually induced orgasms for postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation can revolutionize postpartum pelvic floor training in women, as it can be practiced at hom...
Use of prospective randomization and minimization of confounding factors is the strength of the study. The small sample size is the limitation of the study....
Postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength and sexual function in primiparous women who have undergone uncomplicated vaginal deliveries can be significantly improved with the addition of sexually induced...
The integrity of the neural pathways that link genital sensitive areas to the brain and the correlation with subjective sensations in transgender women with gender dysphoria after gender affirming sur...
To test with electrophysiology the integrity of the nervous paths after GAS, and to explore the relationship between genital sensitivity and self-perceived orgasmic intensity in transgender women afte...
Six patients who underwent GAS between 2016 and 2019 were enrolled in the study, and the evaluation of genital and pelvic neural pathways was performed....
Genital sensory thresholds (at clitoral, vaginal, and anal sites) investigated by Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEP) and the intensity of orgasm (measured by a psychometric tool, the Orgasmometer) ...
SSEPs confirmed the integrity of the large diameter, dorsal column-lemniscus pathway subserving the genital area after GAS. Perceptual Threshold (PT) values were much lower at the neoclitoris compared...
These findings could lead clinicians to a better understanding of postsurgical sexual life in transgender women in order to develop surgical techniques that could focus more on functional aspects of n...
Limitations: study very preliminary/exploratory; small number of patients; no long-term follow-up. Strengths: first assessment of sensory pelvic floor innervation in transgender women after GAS; use o...
Our evaluation showed that SSEPs is a good indicator of neural sensitivity, especially in neoclitoris, and that these measurements were consistent with the analysis of self-perceived orgasmic intensit...
