The history of CSRs has shown a remarkable variation in the interest and knowledge of those whose tasks it has been to deal with them. Kardiner and Spiegel writing in 1947 stated: “The subject of neurotic disturbances consequent upon war has, in the past 25 years, been submitted to a good deal of capriciousness in public interest and psychiatric whims. The public does not sustain its interest, which was very great after World War I, and neither does psychiatry. Hence these conditions are not subject to continuous study...but o ...

There have been many claims about the effect of circumcision on sexual function. Collins, in a study of 15 men found no post-circumcision difference in sex drive, erections, ejaculations, and overall satisfaction. Senkul found no significant effect in a study of 42 men circumcised for religious reasons, other than a 60% increase in time to ejaculation at the 98% statistical confidence level. Sen ...

Male nipples were for a long time considered a biological mystery, since they appeared not to serve any direct biological function, and so their development appeared to present a problem for the theory of evolution. Modern biology now regards the existence of male nipples as being consistent with the theory of evolution. Indeed, the development of male nipples may be regarded as a good example of both the mechanisms by which evolution of the genome expresses itself in the phenotype, and the undirec ...

In the anatomy of mammals, a nipple or mammary papilla is a small projection of skin containing the outlets for 15-20 lactiferous ducts arranged cylindrically around the tip. The physiological purpose of nipples is to deliver milk produced in the female mammary glands during lactation to the infant. In the male, nipples are often not considered functional with regard to breastfeeding, although male lactation is possible. Mammalian infants have a rooting instinct for seeking the nipple, and a sucking ...

Sexual attractiveness in non-human animals depends on a wide variety of factors. Often, there is some element of the animal's body which exists for sexual attraction, like the bright plumage and crests of some species of birds. In many species, there are behaviours which appear to be sexual display. Some of these attributes seem to exist solely to demonstrate fitness and health, for example by demonstrating the ability to sustain an "expensive" feature with no other apparent survival function. Conversely, the receiving sex may be predisposed ...

A foot fetishist can be sexually aroused by viewing, handling, licking, tickling, sucking, sniffing or kissing the feet and/or toes of another person, or by having another person doing the same to their own feet. The fetishist response to the foot is the same or very similar to arousal at seeing genitals (or the sex-specific features like female breasts). Others enjoy having their genitals manipulated by their partner's feet to the point of orgasm or ejaculation (which is called a "footjob", analogous to the concept of a "handjob"), or merely being ...

Typically, sexual attraction refers to a person being drawn to another in order to have a sexual relationship. The concrete meaning of a sexual relationship differs across cultures and history. Because human social behavior is often highly complex, a sexual relationship may entail one which, at its beginning, has little or no sexual behavior, and only after a period of time, which can be a courtship period, o ...

As a woman becomes sexually aroused, the tissue lining the first inch or so of her vagina, known as the vaginal epithelium (the walls of the vagina), begins to swell and exude a slippery fluid (or modified plasma transudate) out through the hundreds of small ducts buried in the lining. These vaginal juices first appear right inside the vagina, and as the woman’s arousal builds up, the secretions will run out the opening. Also, the labia minora at the entrance of the vagina have the greater vestibular glands (Bartholin glands) and ...

One theory is that the feeling of wet and messy substances on the skin is a surrogate for the feeling of touching a partners' skin while having sex. Other theories are that getting wet and messy amplifies or exaggerates the feelings of lust. Yet another theory is that seeing another person or yourself getting wet and/or messy is arousing, because it reminds of the natural moistures the body excretes when sexually aroused. Other elements of the fetish cross over with things such as the humiliation element inherent in BDSM, with costume ...

The complications listed here are known to have occurred at least once, and have been reported in medical journals. They may or may not occur in a particular operation. Circumcision is a surgical operation, therefore the complications from it are many and varied. Williams & Kapila state: "the literature abounds with reports of morbidity and even death as a result of circumcision."[1] The complications may be immediate or delayed. The immediate complications may be ...

Medical analysis of circumcision - Prostate cancer. Early ecological studies suggested that circumcision has a protective effect against prostate cancer. Ravich and Ravich report on patients operated on for prostatic obstruction. In Jews, 1.8% of obstructions were cancerous, compared with 19% of non-Jews.[39] Apt made similar observations in Sweden, concluding that uncircumcised males were at approximately twice the risk. Although ecologica ...

Several researchers conducted cost-benefit analyses to see if infant circumcision justified the costs and the medical risks. Cadman et al. (1984) concluded that the expense of circumcision outweighed any money that might be saved by reducing the risk of penile cancer. Therefore, they argued, public funds should not pay for it [170]. Lawler et al. (1991) [171]reported a net cost of $25.00 and a benefit of ten days of life. They concluded that there was no medical indication for or against circumcision. Ganiats et al. (199 ...

One of the most enduring and important aspects of their work has been the four stage model of sexual response, which they described as the human sexual response cycle. They defined the four stages of this cycle as: Excitement phase (initial arousal) Plateau phase (at full arousal, but not yet at orgasm) Orgasm Resolution phase (after orgasm) Masters and Johnson's findings also revealed that men undergo a refractory period following orgasm during which they are not able to ejaculate again, ...
