...Erectile Dysfunction Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common forms of male reproductive health problems. Most men do not discuss their erectile dysfunction, although if they would, they would discover that there are reasonable treatment options available that can enhance their relational life. Men were brought up with the misguided notion that real men didn’t have such issues. This is terribly misguided, and a lot of men experience erectile dysfunction at least once in their life. As researched erectile dysfunction can be caused by other health conditions, medication, or even psychological problems. The purpose of this paper is to critique the research on erectile dysfunction mentioned below. Critique of Research The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) were the first pieces of literature researched on Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Stating that ED is usually associated with medical conditions physical and or psychological. The report gives information regarding what is ED and how ED occurs and how is it diagnosed, and treated. The information presented was consistent with other research on ED. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection. This definition is also consistent throughout the research reviewed. ED is said to be more common as men get older. But male sexual dysfunction is not a natural part of aging. This finding was not mentioned in any of the other literature reviewed....

...Erectile Dysfunction The ability to experience pleasure in various ways is one of the fundamental aspects of being alive. As human beings we can take these experiences and heighten them through contemplation and anticipation. Of these experiences, perhaps the most powerful in terms of ecstasy is sex. In addition to concerns of pleasurable experience, sex is the method by which we continue human life. The desire to produce offspring is deeply embedded in our nature. Because of this power, when for some reason or another we loose the ability to fully experience it, our 2 lives as a whole are diminished. It is no wonder then that a topic such as erectile dysfunction is a huge concern for the quality of life of millions of men, and by extension women as well. John Hopkins University estimates that ED affects almost thirty million Americans, and as much as thirty percent aged forty to seventy. In addition a study in 1999 showed that physician visits for cases of ED had doubled since 1985 (as cited in"Erectile Dysfunction", 2005). Considering the impact of this disorder we are compelled as a society to understand it. In order to find possible solutions to this problem we must first identify what it is, and what may cause it. Through this comes an understanding of not only what we can do to treat erectile dysfunction, but also what it means in terms of our society and what we value. Erectile dysfunction is described by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney...

...Testosterone is the main sexual reproducing hormone in males. Testosterone production is controlled by the pituitary gland in the brain, signalling the testicle to secrete testosterone, while a small amount is maintained in the adrenal glands. Testosterone assists in maintaining male libido, bone density, muscle strength and primarily produces sperm for reproduction (3). A deficiency in testosterone leads to dysfunction of the testicle and other complications within the male anatomical system. The absence or removal of a testicle, can cause certain effects such as atrophy, and in a younger model it can cause failure of accessory glands and ducts to develop for reproduction purposes (8). This study was carried out using male Sprague Dawley rats, to evaluate the effects of erectile function after two procedures were performed: castration or sham operation. Castration is a procedure in which the testicles are surgically removed. An incision is made in the scrotum, and then tunica vaginalis. The testicles are isolates and removed from the vasculature,...

Psychological ejaculation theories and treatment interventions are considered. Mr. Albert’s possible negative psychological effect is looked at as well as his partner’s.

It is highlighted that the psychotherapeutic intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy is important in any case to reduce distress and negative affective thoughts along with the medical process.

...These problems are called sexual dysfunctions. Sexual dysfunctions are defined as persistent or recurrent difficulties in becoming sexually aroused or reaching orgasm. There are many different types of sexual dysfunctions. They are classified into four categories: sexual desire disorders, sexual arousal disorders, orgasmic disorders, and sexual pain disorders. The disorder I would like to touch on that affects both men and women sexual desire disorders. Female and Male Sexual Disorders The orgasmic disorder is split into two categories. The first category is the female orgasmic disorder. This disorder causes women a challenge to achieve orgasm if they can achieve it, but this does not always count for masturbation. Women with this disorder usually do not receive enough clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse to be able to achieve orgasm. Performance anxiety or sexual guilt may provoke an outburst. Also, trying too hard causes the opposite. Another main problem women encounter is not participating to the fullest. They rather watch than engage when it comes to active sexual intercourse. Women can also experience premature ejaculation, but most of the times this is not even recognized or classified as orgasmic disorder. Types of sexual dysfunctions include hypoactive sexual desire disorder, female sexual arousal disorder, male erectile disorder, orgasmic disorder, and premature ejaculation. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder is a sexual dysfunction characterized by lack of interest...

...Anatomical Research on the Skene’s Gland This research paper endeavors to discuss the internal female sexual organ – the Skene’s gland. This organ has been used interchangeably with other names such as the G-spot, female prostrate, paraurethral gland, etc. To avoid ambiguity, this paper would be focusing on the generalized area commonly called the G-spot which includes the Skene’s gland. Within the field of sexology, there has been a lot of controversy over the topic of the G-spot. Similar to any other controversial issues, there is a divide between researchers who have made the conclusion that the G-spot is not an anatomical entity and others who believe the G-spot is a unique region responsible for a distinct sexual function. Irrespective of the ongoing debate about the G-spot, a direct clarification of what the G-spot is thought to be and the ascribed sexual function is discussed. The G-spot - named after the German gynecologist Ernst Graffenberg who discovered it in 1950 – is a highly erogenous zone which could be felt through the anterior wall of the female vagina, often located about one-third to one-half of the way in from the introitus (Mohammad 967). This region is easiest to locate if the woman were to lie on her back. In some cases, the woman might not recognize the region if she were not aroused (Mohammad 968). From a structural perspective, some researchers believe that what is called the G-spot could be a complex region composed of not a single tissue but a...

...wrote about diabetes for my biology research paper. I need someone to proof read for me. It is in APA style. Thank you! =) In America, the fact that fast food restaurants are located at every corner many people becomes obesity leading to huge risk factors. The various issues of unhealthy living lead to multiple life threatening diseases, such as diabetes. When people hear the news that they have been diagnosed with diabetes, it makes them feel frightened. In 2011, statistics show that in United States 25.8 million of children and adults has diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2012). American Indians and Alaska natives have a higher percentage of adults with diabetes than other ethnicities (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). Diabetes is a serious life-long illness caused by high level of glucose in the blood. This condition is when the body cannot produce insulin that is located in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that moderates the blood level. Diabetes affects the process of how the body uses blood sugar (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). Glucose is significant since it is “the main source of fuel” (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). There is no cure for diabetes but there are ways to lower the risks. Although diabetes is a disorder, it can also lead to other factors such as heart attack, kidney failure, or death. A person with diabetes has to maintain a healthy lifestyle including eating the right food, exercising, controlling their blood sugar level, and be optimistic. Diabetes...

...a number of effects on the way that the body functions and how hormones are produced. The common symptom of someone affected by an eating disorder includes: a. Mentally keeping a balance between calories taken in and calories used up b. Deep-seated feelings of anxiety if they consume a few calories too many c. Self-loathing, depression or panic if they haven’t lost any weight or put a little on, despite their best efforts Many scholars have researched the issue of diet quite deeply and know the damage they are doing to themselves but are still unable to stop. This just makes the feelings of despair and self-loathing even worse, causing their condition to continue.

...Obesity Demographic Paper Obesity Demographic Paper Obesity is becoming a major worldwide epidemic that is a chronic disease which affects everyone young and old, male and female alike. The exact cause is still unknown and scientists are still trying to understand what triggers it. One cause is that in today’s fast paced world, people do not have time to sit down to home cooked meals, or exercise and really take good care of themselves. Fast food restaurants are replacing the home cooked meals and providing bigger portions on their menus and people not finding time to exercise. Instead, they choose to sit down and watch movies at home or surf the net as a source of entertainment due to economic reasons. Children are playing video games instead of playing sports or riding bikes (Obesity in America: What’s driving the epidemic?, 2012. 02). This is becoming a harmful trend which is contributing to the rise of chronic diseases. Obesity does not discriminate and studies over the years have found that there is a significant difference in obesity by ethnicity and race and it differs by sex and age. Obesity is a major contributor of heart disease, cancer, liver and gallbladder diseases, sleep apnea and respiratory issues, depression, infertility, erectile dysfunction and mental health conditions (Jacobson, 2000). In the past 20 years, obesity has risen in the United States and continues to rise with more than 35.7 % of the adults and 17% of children between the ages of 2-19...

One’s sexuality and desire for intimacy is a gift from God and it is to be treated as such in accordance with God’s guidelines and laws. The Bible tells us in Genesis 1 27-28: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
