RECENT SEX SURVEY FINDINGS: EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS BY WOMEN

Extramarital affairs by women probably have increased slightly since Kinsey published Sexual Behavior in the Human Female in 1953. (We have little data to make this same comparison for men.) Several studies have suggested such an increase, with the Redbook survey reporting that 38% of the women between the ages of 35 and 39 revealed [...]

TYPES OF BPH TREATMENT

Surgery is the “gold standard” treatment for BPH symptoms. In 95 percent of men, it can be accomplished in a minimally invasive way— without an incision—in a procedure called transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR). The TUR is safe, effective, and has few side effects. If your prostate is very large, however, you may need [...]

BHP TREATMENT. OPEN PROSTATECTOMY: IMPOTENCE

Impotence has been reported in as many as 10 percent of men after a TUR, but this is the most difficult to document of all the postsurgical complications. In some older men, impotence just develops spontaneously, whether or not they’ve had surgery. And there are so many variables to consider—self-consciousness; the presence or absence of [...]

WHAT SENSATION HAVE MEN WHO ARE IMPOTENT AFTER PROSTATECTOMY OR RADIATION THERAPY

Men who are impotent after prostatectomy or radiation therapy have normal sensation, normal sex drive and can achieve a normal orgasm. Their only trouble may be in achieving or maintaining an erection—that’s the bad news. The good news is that this is a problem that can always be treated. Why does impotence occur? There are [...]

TREATING ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER: IF ADRENAL ANDROGENS REALLY WERE THE KEY TO FIGHTING PROSTATE CANCER…

If adrenal androgens really were the key to fighting prostate cancer, flutamide should produce a dramatic improvement in men who were castrated, took estrogen or an LHRH agonist and then had a relapse. This just isn’t the case. Sadly, what happens for these men is that beginning total androgen blockade has very little effect—again, suggesting [...]

INTERSTITIAL BRACHYTHERAPY (IMPLANTING RADIOACTIVE SEEDS) FOR PROSTATE CANCER: BASIC APPROACHES

There are many variations, but the basic means of access is the transperineal approach, reaching the prostate through the perineum, the area between the scrotum and rectum. Before beginning interstitial brachytherapy, you should undergo an extensive physical examination and a cystoscopy to evaluate your particular anatomy and make sure the cancer is contained within the [...]

HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS VS. CHILDREN: EXTRAMARITAL AND POSTMARITAL COITUS

Fewer of the married homosexual offenders than the married members of any other group had extramarital coitus; the homosexual offenders vs. minors, with 39 per cent experienced, fall midway between the two other homosexual-offender groups. In age-specific incidence of extramarital coitus with companions they are always in the lower third of the rank-orders. Concerning extramarital [...]

INCEST OFFENDERS VS. MINORS: CRIMINALITY

Like all incest offenders, few of these men had records of juvenile offenses, and few of the offenses were serious enough to merit incarceration for six months or more. Moreover, they are one of the three groups (including the incest offenders vs. adults) whose members had no juvenile sex-offense records. They became involved with the [...]

HETEROSEXUAL AGGRESSORS VS. ADULTS: MASTURBATION

The incidence of postpubescent masturbation among aggressors vs. adults, and the median age at which it began, are in no way noteworthy. The tendency to have high frequencies of masturbation before marriage, which we saw in the aggressors vs. minors, is seen again among the aggressors vs. adults. The mean frequency remains high between the [...]

HETEROSEXUAL OFFENDERS VS. ADULTS: SEX DREAMS

While in comparison with other groups the heterosexual offenders vs. adults had a great deal of premarital heterosexual outlet, they nevertheless display the second highest percentage (86 per cent) of individuals who had nocturnal emissions. Eighteen per cent had ejaculations during sleep never accompanied by a dream insofar as they could recall; this is the [...]
