SEMINAR TRAINING FOR CONTRACEPTIVE CARE – SEXUAL PROBLEMS
Sexual problems may be the underlying cause of individual ill health and unhappiness. The destructive effect of marital disharmony on children is well recognized. If anything can be done to lessen the stresses present in the family, the returns are likely to be great, although difficult to measure in a quantitative way. Certainly, any help [...]

PSYCHOSEXUAL PROBLEMS IN THE CONTRACEPTIVE CONSULTATION – AM I TOO OLD FOR SEX?
Diffidence about asking for contraception or with continuing it may occur as part of a difficulty in accepting the sexual activity of ‘older’ women. One woman said she hated attending the family planning clinic because it was ‘full of young girls who look at you as if you were a dirty old woman’. A family [...]

STERILIZATION: SENSIBLE CHOICE OR SERIOUS TROUBLE? (OPERATION FOR WOMEN)
The operations for women are more serious than vasectomy, and occasionally there are complications. Although they are immediately effective, the failure rate is higher than that with vasectomy. Vessey, Lawless and Yeates (1982) gave the low figure of 0.13 per HWYs, but the results of other series have been slightly higher. A review of the [...]

THE SEXUAL NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES – PHYSICAL/PRACTICAL NEEDS (INCONTINENCE)
An area of particular stress is incontinence. As a symptom it causes great distress as it is demeaning and often seen as immature, a flashback to being a naughty child. It is a matter for shame and secrecy. Bedwetting or faecal incontinence are not matters that are easy to talk about. People seem to think [...]

SEXUAL BEHAVIOR: GENERAL ATTACK.
A general physical attack—not sexual in its outward form, but apparently with a sexual basis—was reported only in the heterosexual aggression cases, and even here the incidence was not high. It happened in about an eighth of the aggression offenses against adult females and half of that in the other two aggression groups. In several [...]

SEX OFFENDERS: CRIMINALITY
The characteristic image of any sex offender is usually shaped by his specific sex offense. This event, dramatized by arrest and conviction, overshadows all his previous behavior. Not only does it eclipse whatever good he might have done, but also all his nonsexual criminal behavior. This has led to a curious oversimplification of the record. [...]

MARRIAGE
Our society assumes that the majority of men and women will marry and, generally speaking, it considers marriage evidence of an adequate social and sexual adjustment. It is also taken as evidence of a willingness to assume responsibility, and of a desire to create long-lasting intimate relationships and to conform to the dictates of public [...]

PREPUBERTAL SEX PLAY: TECHNIQUES
Turning to the question of sexual techniques, simple exhibition and manual touching of genitalia were too omnipresent among those who had heterosexual play to lend themselves to comparative analysis. Conversely, vaginal and anal insertion, with objects other than the penis or finger, were too infrequent. This leaves mouth-genital contact and coitus. The latter is difficult [...]

PEEPERS: CRIMINALITY
As juveniles the peepers were a very delinquent group, having the second largest percentage (29 per cent) with juvenile convictions, even more than the prison group. The great majority of their convictions stemmed from rather serious offenses, judging from the fact that about 80 per cent of them resulted in commitment for six months or [...]

TREATMENT WHEN SOMEONE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIV
Some people, such as health care workers, have the potential to be exposed to HIV in the workplace. Despite being trained to decrease the likelihood of HIV infection through taking so-called universal precautions (using barriers to prevent contact with infected body fluids), they can nevertheless be exposed accidentally. Persons who are at the highest risk [...]
