Abstract To date, there has been little research focusing upon the sexuality of elders, especially those living in long-term care institutions. The present study explores the sexual attitudes and behaviors of residents of senior citizens' homes. Subjects included 40 residents (17 men and 23 women) from two facilities. Subjects completed questionnaires measuring frequency of sexual activity, sexual desire, sexual attitudes, and sexual satisfaction. Additional items measured ratingsof physical and emotional health and perceptions of their residence as facilitating or preventing sexual activity. Results indicated that sexual activity was infrequent for both males and females. Males reported significantly higher hels of sexual desire than did females. Age wasnegatively correlated with solitary sexual desire and with sexual attitudes. Decreased sexualsatisfaction was associated with perctptions of poor emotional health and lack of privaq in the residence. Degree of religiosity was negatively Correlated with sexual attitudes, and sexual selfeflcacy expectations were positively correlated with sexual desire. The implications of these3ndings are discussed with respect to quality of life in geriatric residences.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify social cognitive factors significantly associated with consistent condom use and safer sex intentions for heterosexual college students. No or newrelationship involvement, positive attitudes toward condoms, higher HIV risk perceptions, being male, and being younger were associated with more consistent condom use. Higher HIV risk perceptions, positive attitudes toward condoms, safer sex negotiation, no or newer relationship involvement, lower classification, and higher safer sex perceptions of self-efficacy were associated with increased intent to engage in safer sex. HIV knowledge was not associated with safer sex intent or condom use. HIV intervention must go beyond presenting infmation. Interwention must incorporate social cognitive factors associated with safer sex intent and practice into their design, targeting groups and building safer sex skills.

Abstract This study is a fowow-Up to a preVious study assessing the relationship of alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor to high-risk sexual behavior. Results are based on suroey data from 1,902 students attending 12 colleges. Sexual behaviors occurring after people had “let themselves drinkmore than normal in order to make it easier for them to have sex with someone” were assessed. Atleast once in the past year, 33.2% of the men and 17.4% of the women had met this criterion. In those instances, 76.3% of the men and 77.1 5% of the women initiated condom use for vaginal intercourse. Results are discussed in relation to partners' compliance following condom initiation and preventing the spread of HIV disease.

Abstract This article calls attention to the importance of more carefully defining femaleness and maleness and more fully acknowledging the existence of mixed-sex people. Mixed-sex people are defined as people with at least one female and one male characteristic, where female or male characteristics are defined as characteristics that are possessed by no more than roughly half the population (the distribution criterion) and either play a clear role in reproduction (the reproduction criterion) or are veiy highly correlated across all cultures with characterstics that meet both the distribution and reproduction criteria (the correlation criterion). Among other recommendations, those who work in the field of human sexuality are urged, on the basis of these more careful definitions and on ethical grounds, to use the term sex-simplification rather than sex-change indescribing surgical/hormonal treatments for transsexuals and to radically alter their use oftheterms heterosexual and homosexual.

Abstract In 1952, under the title of “Masturbation in Infants,” Bakwid reported three cases of females all younger than one year of age. Bakwin s' type of so-called masturbation has been consideredin the differential diagnosis of epilepsy in several papers published since 1975. The cases reported display a great similarity and underscore an ictal explanation of the syndrome.

Abstract The treatment offered individuals of childhood sexual atruse is often unnecessarily long-term and is typically based upon the victimization/recovery model. This paper presents a brief casestudy illustrating the successful short-term cognitive-behavioral treatment of a 28year-old woman with hypoactive sexual desire who reported a history of reported sexual molestations throughout her childhood.

Abstract Various drugs, including amantadine, have been reported in the successful treatment of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction. Only a regular daily dosing schedub of amantadine has beenused for the treatment of sexual dysfunction so far. This case demonstrates that an intermittentdose of amantadine at 100 mg five to six hours prior to coitus could be useful in the treatment of fluoxetine-induced anorgasmia.
