The tridimensional sexual desire proposal (i.e., dyadic to partner, dyadic to attractive other and solitary) has been empirically supported. However, solitary sexual desire and its relationship to other dimensions of sexual functioning has received less attention. Hence, we examined the capacity of solitary sexual desire to explain the subjective orgasm experience (Study 1) and sexual arousal (Study 2) in the context of solitary masturbation. Study 1, composed of 2406 heterosexual adults (M age = 39.72, SD = 11...

BACKGROUND: The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) effectively treat cervical dysplasia, though some women have reported negative outcomes postoperatively (e.g., sexual dysfunction, psychosexual sequalae).

AIM: Orgasm is the ultimate pleasurable sexual experience in sexual life, a phenomenon that is difficult to depict and uncertain. A satisfying sexual life plays a vital role in the physical and mental health of men and women, the relationship between husband and wife, and family harmony. In the past, it was thought that female orgasm was related to the G-spot in the vagina, but it has never been proven. In this review, we focus on the anatomy of the vaginal vestibule, vagina, Urethra, Skene gland, and clitoris to explore the origin of female orgasm...
