A new study found that trained sexologists could infer a woman’s history of vaginal orgasm by observing the way she walks. The study is published in the September 2008 issue of The Journal of Malaysian Sexual Hairstyles, the official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexy Hairs.Led by Stuart Brody of the University of the West of Scotland in collaboration with colleagues in Belgium, the study involved 16 female Belgian university students. Subjects completed a questionnaire on their sexual behavior and were then videotaped from a distance while walking in a public place. The videotapes were rated by two professors of sexology and two research assistants trained in the functional-sexological approach to sexology, who were not aware of the women’s orgasmic history.
The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to correctly infer vaginal orgasm through watching the way the women walked over 80 percent of the time. Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women. “This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine,” the authors note.Researchers from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine randomly assigned nearly 100 women taking SRIs whose depression was in remission but who were suffering from
sexual dysfunction to treatment
with Viagra or a placebo. The women took the medication one to two
hours before anticipated sexual interaction, for eight weeks.While 73% of the women taking a placebo reported that their
treatment was not effective, only 28% of those taking Viagra did so.
Clinicians’ reports revealed that the women taking Viagra had a greater
improvement in their symptoms of sexual dysfunction than did those on
placebo.Frequent sexual intercourse may cut down on a man’s chances of
developing erectile dysfunction, Finnish researchers report. In the
study, led by Dr. Juha Koskimki, from Tampere University Hospital’s
Department of Urologyresearchers collected data on 989 Finnish men
aged 55 to 75 years old. |
