The question of the impact of chronic prostatitis on male fertility remains debatable. In our study, we proved that inflammation of the prostate affects the characteristics of a man’s ejaculate. The inflammatory process negatively affects the reproductive characteristics of men of all ages, however, in the older age group, its clinical and laboratory manifestations are most pronounced.

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent gynecological disorder, which can occur throughout the reproductive age of women, causing chronic pelvic pain, substantial morbidity, and impaired fertility. It is clinically defined as the presence of ectopic endometrium resulting in sustained inflammatory reaction. In India, about 29,000,000 women suffer from endometriosis. Severe pelvic pain and recurrent endometriomas were observed even after surgery. We have conducted aspirations totally in 110 patients in which most of the patients were suffering from Stage III & Stage IV of endometriosis except for 7 patients for whom we have done as primary therapy for endometriomas. Among 110 patients, 4 patients didn’t turn up for follow up after first aspiration. This pilot study conducted with 110 patients in Ponni Hospital and Fertility Research Centre, Madurai aimed to evaluate pregnancy outcome in 51 infertile patients, and to alleviate pelvic pain, to restore a healthy sexual life and to reduce the recurrence rate of Ovarian Endometriomas (OE) in 59 patients, who did not seek fertility, After using the newer sclerosing agent Leuprolide with Cefoperazone Sulbactam (LCS) under ultrasound guidance. This prospective pilot study resulted in a highly significant achievement in pregnancy where 41 patients conceived out of 51 patients (80.39%) only 6 are in ongoing treatment. Those who didn’t seek fertility were 59 of which 43 have completed family 13 have one child and 3 unmarried girls. 96.61% were relieved of pain and recurrence and restored healthy sexual life, 2 are in ongoing treatment. We have not encountered any adverse effects during this treatment.

According to Freud, Happiness is defined as the discharge of sexual drive (Orgasm); obtaining happiness usually costs a lot of energy for women and even more for men, but what happens when that happiness is obtained without energy expenditure, when happiness is obtained with gain of energy or money. Exchange sex is defined as the exchange of sex for energy (in this case money), nevertheless, the classic normal relationships between men and women in society function in general as an exchange of sex for energy (money). So it could be argued that relationships between men and women in our society function on the basis of exchange sex. However, the intrapsychic conflict of individuals complicates and makes it difficult to achieve that happiness. We will also analyze the way to obtain Partial Happiness (get orgasms with people you are not in love with), Total Happiness (get orgasms from the people you are in love with), and a new concept The Supra-Happiness (get orgasms from many attractive people simultaneously; even if you are fall in love with these people or not). That happiness is only temporary, the original dissatisfaction and lack of the human psyche has to be filled and constantly satisfied with that temporary happiness.

Background: Incarceration does not vitiate sexual desire. Therefore, sexual activities occur behind bars, regardless of the stringent rules in correctional institutions. However, little has been documented about risky sexual behaviors, determinants, and experiences among inmates of correctional institutions in Katsina State, Nigeria. The study determined the sexual practices, prevalence, and determinants of risky sexual behaviors among prison inmates in Katsina. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional design with concurrent mixed methods of data collection was used to interview 216 inmates using a semi-structured questionnaire supplemented with 22 in-depth interviews. Result: Most (94%) respondents were male, almost half (44.4%) had secondary education, more than half (55.1%) were engaged in business or trading before incarceration, and the majority (75.9%) were awaiting trial. Nearly all inmates (98.6%) reported having sexual desire. Drug use (80.1%) and unprotected sex (79.2%) were quite common but sexual violence was low (7.4%). The number of sexual partners of respondents remained a significant predictor of sexual activity. Inmates who had one (1) or no sexual partner were 64% less likely to engage in risky sexual activity within the confines of the prison (AOR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.20 - 0.63, p = 0.01). Qualitative interviews revealed the denial of occurrence of sexual activity in prison despite sexual desire felt by inmates; loneliness, poverty, and curiosity as motives for sexual relations; denial of occurrence of sexual violence in prison; and drug use and use of unsterilized sharps as risky sexual behaviors. Conclusion: Despite the disciplinary action meted out on inmates, prisoners still engaged in a range of risky sexual behaviors. Conjugal visitations for married inmates could be considered to reduce sexually deviant and risky alternatives of relieving sexual desire among prisoners.
背景:监禁不会削弱性欲。因此，不管惩教机构有多么严格的规定，性行为还是会在监狱里发生。然而，关于尼日利亚卡齐纳州惩教机构囚犯危险性行为、决定因素和经历的记录很少。该研究确定了卡齐纳监狱囚犯的性行为、流行程度和危险性行为的决定因素。方法:采用描述性横断面设计和并行混合数据收集方法，使用半结构化问卷和22个深度访谈对216名囚犯进行了访谈。结果:大多数(94%)受访者为男性，几乎一半(44.4%)受过中等教育，超过一半(55.1%)在入狱前从事商业或贸易，大多数(75.9%)正在等待审判。几乎所有囚犯(98.6%)都有性欲。吸毒(80.1%)和无保护的性行为(79.2%)相当普遍，但性暴力较低(7.4%)。受访者的性伴侣数量仍然是性活动的重要预测指标。有一个或没有性伴侣的囚犯在监狱范围内从事危险性活动的可能性要低64% (AOR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.20 - 0.63, p = 0.01)。定性访谈显示，尽管囚犯有性欲，但他们否认监狱中有性活动的发生;孤独、贫穷和好奇作为性关系的动机;否认在监狱中发生性暴力;以及吸毒和使用未经消毒的尖锐物是危险的性行为。结论:尽管对囚犯进行了纪律处分，囚犯仍然从事一系列危险的性行为。可以考虑对已婚囚犯进行夫妻探视，以减少囚犯之间的性越轨行为和缓解性欲的危险选择。

There are limited studies examining the relationship between serum reproductive hormone levels and sexual functions among prostate cancer (PCa) patients after rapid prostatectomy (RP). Aim: The present study aimed at evaluating the correlation between post-operative serum levels of some male reproductive hormones of PCa patients and their sexual functions in the months following RP. A total of 20 male patients with clinically localized PCa who had undergone RP within the last 12 months prior to commencement of the study, were invited to participate. The postoperative serum levels of their luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and total testosterone (Te) were measured. They also completed a structured health and lifestyle questionnaire to obtain information on their demographic characteristics and detailed medical history. Our data indicated normal mean levels of post-operative Te (4.34 ± 4.38 ng/ml) in the patients following RP, while the mean levels of FSH (39.24 ± 34.12 miu/ml) and LH (21.67 ± 25.73 miu/ml) were on the increase and far above normal ranges for healthy men. Data indicated a significant positive correlation between Te and frequency of sexual intercourse (r = 508; p The present study indicated that radical prostatectomy affected reproductive hormones by increasing LH and FSH concentrations above normal ranges for healthy men, while Te concentrations remained within normal range in the months following RP. The postoperative serum total Te concentrations of the patients were significantly associated with their postoperative sex drive, penile erection and frequency of sexual intercourse.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects 40% of the world’s females, most of which are disorders linked to desire or interest/excitement. Whilst all types of therapy that attempt to improve female sexual desire have long been established, the results are contradictory. Objective: To analyze all available evidence to validate the effectiveness of natural therapies in the treatment of FSD. Method: The study was registered at http://www.prospero.org (CRD42019127700). We searched the Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE, Pubmed, Scopus and Cochrane databases for all articles published in peer- reviewed journals in April 2019 (in any language). The PICOS standard is women with FSD; (intervention) of any type of Natural therapy; (outcome) primary outcome: frequency of changes, severity, and average mean scores on sexual symptoms measured with a validated instrument, secondary outcome: quality of life; (study design) and randomized clinical trial (RCT). Results: The literature search strategy identified 95 articles, 81 of which were excluded at the different search stages. Finally, we systematically reviewed 15 RCTs, 11 of which referred to primary FSD, and four of which analyzed women with drug-induced FSD (DFSD). Most of them analyzed hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Although differences related to placebo were found in most people, the majority of the studies are considered to be of poor quality and low external effectiveness. Conclusion: Although the quality of the evidence is not high, most natural product interventions appear to improve FSD, particularly hypoactive sexual desire disorders including those categorized as primary and drug-induced.
