摘要:

AbstractA literature review supplemented interviews with informants who were confident they had personal experience with female orgasmic expulsion. It was concluded that female ejaculation of secretion from the embryologic homologue to the male prostate is theoretically plausible. Research efforts to affirm or discredit its existence on an objective basis were seen to be warranted. The assumption that female orgasmic expulsions must be due to urinary incontinence was challenged. Anecdotal evidence prompted the hypothesis that orgasm accompanied by ejaculation tends to be followed by a refractory period in women, as in men.

摘要:

AbstractThis case study provides objective evidence supporting the hypothesis that female ejaculation, a partial, infertile homologue of male ejaculation, exists. A karyotypically normal, multiparous woman suffered for a decade with urinary stress incontinence. During that time she had learned to inhibit an orgastic response which led to bedwetting. Although the liquid produced did not appear to be urine, she falsely concluded that her orgasmic expulsion was a manifestation of urinary incontinence. Using feedback from a Vaginal Myograph, she learned to do Kegel exercises properly, and the urinary stress incontinence soon disappeared. Around this time she became aware of the concept of female ejaculation and its possible association with an erotically sensitive area that could be stimulated through her anterior vaginal wall. Stimulation of this area, the“Grafenberg spot,”produced what she described as orgasm which felt“deeper”than orgasms in response to vulvar stimulation. Such an orgasm was often accompanied by expulsion of liquid from the urethra. Chemical analysis indicated that the expulsion was not urine. It contained prostatic acid phosphatase, an enzyme characteristically found in prostatic secretion.

摘要:

AbstractKegel's theory (1952a) concerning the sexual importance of the pubococ‐cygeus muscle was combined with Singer's theory (1973) of“uterine”orgasms to produce the hypothesis that women who ejaculate at orgasm have stronger pelvic muscle contractions under voluntary control than women who do not ejaculate. The vaginal myograph and a new“uterine myograph”developed for this project were utilized to measure EMG levels in 47 women. Ejaculators were found to have significantly stronger pubococcygeal muscle contractions and significantly stronger uterine contractions than non‐ejaculators. The Grafenberg spot, an area of exceptional sexual sensitivity located in the anterior wall of the vagina, was identified in every subject. Hartman and Fithian's version (1974) of Kegel's theory of vaginal sexual sensitivity at“4 and 8 o'clock”was not supported; sexual sensitivity was focused at 12 o'clock in 90 % of the subjects. Kaplan's description (1974) of two“phases”of orgasm (in males) is expanded to account for ejaculation in both males and females. Female ejaculation is hypothesized to be a component of some women's“uterine”orgasms. The limitations and problems of research on orgasmic response are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractMost authors who have written about impotence state that at least 90% of all cases are psychogenic in origin even though few data have been presented to support this belief. In this study the relationship between physiological and psychological factors in impotence was examined in 102 impotent men, ages 23–78. A significantly higher proportion of impotent men, compared to potent men, had organic disease, 72.5% and 11.9% respectively. The majority of impotent men, 78.4%, had only mild to moderate psychological distress; 21.6% had serious psychiatric disorder. In a group of 83 men who participated in therapy with their wives, the improvement rate in men with organic disease was significantly higher for changes in the interaction between the patient and his partner than for long‐term changes in sexual functioning. In contrast, in impotent men without organic disease, improvement rates were high for both interaction and sexual functioning. The degree of psychological distress was not found to be related to the outcome of therapy. These data do not support the widely held belief that 90% of impotence is psychologic in origin.

摘要:

AbstractThe concept of the homosexual“role”has been the subject of heated debate in recent years. Some observers argue that the concept has no validity, since no one is socialized into this putative“role,”and no one learns to become a homosexual as a consequence of it. The author contends that this is a misunderstanding both of the nature of homosexuality and of the sociological concept of role. The fallacy lies in viewing homosexuality inessentialisticterms—that is, in terms of a single definitive indwelling and fixed criterion. In contrast, the author argues that homosexuality can most fruitfully be seen as a“mix”of characteristics, a series of dimensions—each one of which may be relevant for different purposes. Viewed in this light,“role”becomes a powerful analytic tool in understanding homosexuality.
