vaginal orgasm is associated with vaginal not clitoral sex education focusing mental attention on vaginal sensations intercourse duration and a preference for a longer penis
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Stuart Brody, Petr WeissAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction Evidence was recently provided for vaginal orgasm, orgasm triggered purely by penile–vaginal intercourse (PVI), being associated with better psychological functioning. Common sex education and sexual medicine approaches might undermine vaginal orgasm benefits. Aims To examine the extent to which women's vaginal orgasm consistency is associated with (i) being told in childhood or adolescence that the vagina was the important zone for inducing female orgasm; (ii) how well they focus mentally on vaginal sensations during PVI; (iii) greater PVI duration; and (iv) preference for above-average penis length. Methods In a representative sample of the Czech population, 1,000 women reported their vaginal orgasm consistency (from never to almost every time; only 21.9% never had a vaginal orgasm), estimates of their typical Foreplay and PVI durations, what they were told in childhood and adolescence was the important zone for inducing female orgasm, their degree of focus on vaginal sensations during PVI, and whether they were more likely to orgasm with a longer than average penis. Main Outcome Measures The association of vaginal orgasm consistency with the predictors noted above. Results Vaginal orgasm consistency was associated with all hypothesized correlates. Multivariate analysis indicated the most important predictors were being educated that the vagina is important for female orgasm, being mentally focused on vaginal sensations during PVI, and in some analyses duration of PVI (but not Foreplay) and preferring a longer than average penis. Conclusions Focusing attention on penile–vaginal sensation supports vaginal orgasm and the myriad benefits thereof. Brody S, and Weiss P. Vaginal orgasm is associated with vaginal (not clitoral) sex education, focusing mental attention on vaginal sensations, intercourse duration, and a preference for a longer penis.

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder with and without a Distress Criterion: Prevalence and Correlates in a Representative Czech Sample
The journal of sexual medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Petr Weiss, Stuart BrodyAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction Sexual medicine would benefit from large representative surveys examining the prevalence of genital female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) symptoms (with and without the increasingly controversial distress criterion), as well as novel FSAD correlates and potential “protective” factors. Aims To examine the extent to which genital FSAD symptoms, with and without a distress criterion, are associated with both historical and current aspects of sexual behavior. Methods In a representative sample of the Czech population (aged 15–88), 1,000 women were asked whether they currently have impaired lubrication and vaginal swelling (and if so, if this produces marked distress or interpersonal difficulty). They provided details of vaginal orgasm (induced by penile–vaginal intercourse [PVI] without clitoral masturbation) consistency, feelings during their first PVI, estimates of their typical Foreplay and PVI durations, their degree of mental focus on vaginal sensations during PVI, among other factors. Main Outcome Measures The current prevalence of FSAD with and without a distress criterion and their associations with current and antecedent sexual behaviors and responses. Results The current prevalence of FSAD was 10.3% without, plus 7.5% with a distress criterion (which tended to be associated with more impairments than without distress). History of vaginal orgasm (odds ratio = 2.78), never masturbating (odds ratio = 2.4), not having felt pain and discomfort on first PVI (odds ratio = 2.27), and not having frequent anal intercourse are protective against FSAD with distress, but not without distress. Age (especially over 50) and inadequate focusing of mental attention on vaginal sensations during PVI are associated with increased FSAD risk both with and without distress. Conclusions FSAD with and without distress appear to be different entities to some extent, with the distressed group showing more long‐term signs of psychosexual impairment. We suggest that FSAD with and without distress be considered two different disorders. Weiss P, and Brody S.

women s partnered orgasm consistency is associated with greater duration of penile vaginal intercourse but not of Foreplay
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Petr Weiss, Stuart BrodyAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction It has been asserted that women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm (her orgasm as a result of sexual activities with a partner) is determined by duration of Foreplay, but not by duration of penile–vaginal intercourse. Aims The objective was to examine the extent to which women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm is associated with duration of Foreplay, duration of penile–vaginal intercourse, and age. Methods In a representative sample of the Czech population, 2,360 women reported their consistency of orgasm with a partner (from “never” to “almost every time”), and estimates of their typical durations of Foreplay and of penile–vaginal intercourse. Main Outcome Measures The association of consistency of partnered orgasm with typical durations of both Foreplay and penile–vaginal intercourse. Results In univariate analyses, consistency of partnered orgasm was more associated with penile–vaginal intercourse duration than with Foreplay duration (consistency also correlated negatively with age). In multivariate analysis, Foreplay ceased to be a significant correlate of partnered orgasm consistency (the exclusion of respondents reporting a penile–vaginal intercourse duration of 1 minute or less did not alter the results). Conclusions When both sexual activity categories are examined in tandem on a population level, women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm is associated with penile–vaginal intercourse duration, but not with Foreplay duration. In contrast to the assumptions of many sex therapists and educators, more attention should be given to improve the quality and duration of penile–vaginal intercourse rather than Foreplay. Weiss P, and Brody S. Women's partnered orgasm consistency is associated with greater duration of penile–vaginal intercourse but not of Foreplay.

african cichlid pseudotropheus spp males moan to females during Foreplay
Journal of Fish Biology, 2008Co-Authors: J M Simoes, P J Fonseca, G F Turner, M C P AmorimAbstract:This study describes a new courtship sound (moan) produced by Pseudotropheus spp. males, not previously reported for cichlids. Moans are short tonal sounds often showing frequency modulation. This sound type is of very low amplitude and is produced when males swim in close proximity to a female, usually before performing more exuberant behavioural exhibitions, such as darting, quivering the body and growling.

an empirical operationalization study of dsm iv diagnostic criteria for premature ejaculation
International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice, 1998Co-Authors: Marcel D. Waldinger, Aeilko H. Zwinderman, Michiel W Hengeveld, Berend OlivierAbstract:The DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for premature ejaculation remain to be investigated by a clinical study. A prospective study was therefore conducted to investigate the DSM-IV definition and to provide an empirical operationalization of premature ejaculation. In this study 140 men suffering from lifelong premature ejaculation were interviewed separately from their partners. Various means of assessing the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) were compared: assessment by spontaneous answer, by questionnaire, by imagining Foreplay and intercourse and estimating the ejaculation time without a clock or with a clock, and by stop-watch measurement at home over a one-month period. The number of thrusts and feelings of control during Foreplay and intercourse were also assessed. A total of 110 men used the stop-watch method. Ninety percent of all the subjects ejaculated within one minute of intromission, with 80% actually ejaculating within 30 seconds. The age of the men and duration of their relationship wer...

Ninety percent of all the subjects ejaculated within one minute of intromission, with 80% actually ejaculating within 30 seconds. The age of the men and duration of their relationship were not correlated with IELT; however, the IELT tended to be longer for couples who had a higher frequency of intercourse. There was only a moderate correlation between the various methods of assessing IELT. The results suggest that premature ejaculation could be operationally defined as an IELT < 1 min in more than 90% of episodes of sexual intercourse, independent of age and duration of relationship.
