IS IDEAL MARRIAGE ATTAINABLE? THE REAL DIFFICULTY
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
The real difficulty lies in all the canons of good taste, propriety, and morality that make it difficult for men and women to form acquaintanceship. These conventions are taken so much as a matter of course that we never question them except in minor details. They are all a product of the more explicit segregation [...]

ANALYSIS OF THE FAMILY PLANNING CONSULTATION – NEGOTIATING A PLAN
Middleton’s model consists of reconciling the patient’s and doctor’s agendas and drawing up a negotiated plan. The two agendas are not always compatible and it is well known that compliance is poor if the patient does not wholeheartedly back the plan of campaign. The days of giving out authoritarian, prescriptive advice are long since over. [...]

PSYCHOSEXUAL PROBLEMS IN THE CONTRACEPTIVE CONSULTATION – BEGINNING SEXUAL ACTIVITY (CONCLUSION)
Here was a girl pretending to her friend and to the clinic that she was sexually active. She changed her partners frequently, perhaps because they became too pressing for intimacy, or because, like the doctor, they were made to feel clumsy and intrusive. Her lack of sexual activity was not through choice and her avoidance [...]

CULTURAL PERCEPTIONS AND MISCONCEPTIONS – CULTURE AS AN ISSUE FOR THE PATIENT (GENERAL INFORMATION)
More often the cultural issue arises obliquely. If a patient is in difficulties with her contraception it is often hard for her to be straightforward in discussing exactly why one method is unsuitable. This is made even worse if she does not speak very good English, and if she is not used to discussing family [...]

THE SEXUAL NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES – EMOTIONAL NEEDS (MAJOR TRAUMA)
A necessary, albeit painful, area to address is the feeling of loss that occurs when a person has experienced a major trauma, for instance the loss of a limb, or the loss of function following a head injury, stroke or progressive disease. The change in body image is very damaging to most people. The temptation [...]

COPARTNERS IN THE OFFENSE: HETEROSEXUAL OFFENSES VS. MINORS
The eighteen-year-old defendant and three friends took a fourteen-year-old girl out in a car and got her drunk. Two of them had coitus with her. A nineteen-year-old male, married and separated from his wife, was involved in a party with three other males, two aged seventeen and one nineteen, which progressed from the home of [...]

ANIMAL CONTACT: PSYCHOLOGIC ASPECTS
Sexual contact with animals seems to have had remarkably little affect—the human participants rarely had or developed a psychologic component of sexual interest in animals. In fact, more persons had animal contact than fantasied animal contact during masturbation—a reversal of the usual situation where fantasy exceeds overt experience. The same is true of dream content: [...]

PREMARITAL COITUS: INCIDENCE
The percentages of those who had had premarital coitus with either companions or prostitutes are high (90 per cent or more) for half of the comparative groups, and the differences are small. However, it is worth noting that the groups with the highest percentages include the heterosexual offenders and aggressors vs. adults and minors. Those [...]

FAMILY AND GENERAL BACKGROUND: SIBLINGS
Since the number, age, and sex of one’s brothers and sisters can constitute an important factor in one’s life, we gathered the relevant data from those we interviewed. We have counted as siblings not only those genetically related, but also any other children reared in the same home with the subject. The families with the [...]

PEEPERS: MASTURBATION
The peepers display but one salient feature with regard to the incidence of postpubertal masturbation; the unmarried males rank high in the percentages for certain age-periods. For instance, in age-period 16-20 some 96 per cent had masturbated, and in the following age-period 92 per cent. We know that masturbation accompanied their peeping in many instances. [...]
