EROGENOUS ZONES
-refer to parts of the body that are primarily receptive
and increase sexual arousal when touched in a sexual
manner. Some of the parts commonly known
erogenous zones are the mouth, breasts, genitals and
anus.
-Erogenous zones may vary from one person to
another. Some people may enjoy being touched in a
certain area more than the other areas.
SEXUAL PROBLEMS
May be classified as physiological, psychological and
social in origin. Any given problem may involve all three
categories.
PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS – are the least among the
three categories. Only a small number of people suffer
from diseases that are due to abnormal development of
the genitalia or that part of the neurophysiology
controlling sexual response.
Ex. Vaginal infection, retroverted uteri, prostatis,
adrenal tumors, diabetes, senile changes of the vagina
and cardiovascular problems.
Fortunately, the majority of the physiological sexual
problems can be resolved through medication or
surgery while problems of the nervous system that can
affect sexual response are more difficult to treat.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS – comprise by far the
largest category. They are usually caused by socially
induced inhibitions, maladaptive attitudes, ignorance
and sexual myths held by society.
Ex. 1. Belief that good, mature sex must involve rapid
erection, prolonged coitus and simultaneous orgasm.
Magazines, marriage books, and general sexual folklore
often strengthen these demanding ideals, which are not
always achieved; therefore, can give rise to feelings of
inadequacy anxiety and guilt.
2. Premature emission of semen fro young males due
to excessive tension in a male who has been sexually
deprived.
3. Erectile impotence due to physical causes.
4. Fear of being impotent causes impotence.
5. Disinterest in sexual partner, fatigue and distraction
because of nonsexual worries, intoxication, or other
causes-such occasional impotency is common and
requires no therapy.
6.
inability to ejaculate in coitus, is uncommon and is
usually of psychogenic origin. It appears to be
associated with ideas of contamination or with
memories of traumatic experiences.
7. Veganism’s is a strong spasm of the pelvic
musculature constricting the female reproductive organ
so that penetration is painful or impossible. It can be
due to psychological trauma that serves as an
unconscious defence against coitus.
SEXUALLY TRASMITTED INFECTION/DISEASES
-are infections transmitted from an infected person to
an uninfected person through sexual contact. STDs can
be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
1. CHLAMYDIA
-caused by Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection,
mostly affects the adolescent and young adult
females. Age 15-19 years old and 20-24 years
old positive of this infection. Rates cases among
males are generally lower than rates among
women.
2. GONORRHEA
-Mostly affects the male population than
female. The magnitude of the increase among
men suggests either increased transmission or
increased case ascertainment (e.g. through
increased extra-genital screening) among MSM
(men who have sex with men) or both.
Antimicrobial resistance remains an important
consideration in the treatment of gonorrhoea.
3. SYPHILIS
-Increased among both men and women in
every region of the country.
4. CHANCROID
-is caused by infection with the bacterium
Haemophilus ducreyi. Clinical manifestations
include genital ulcers and inguinal
lymphadenopathy or buboes. The number of
cases has significantly decline.
5. HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS
-is the most sexually transmitted infection in the
USA. Persistent infection with any HPC type was
42.5% among US adults aged 18-59 yearls old.
6. HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS
-is the most prevalent of sexually transmitted
infection. Although most infections are
subclinical, clinical manifestations are
characterized by recurrent, painful genital
and/or anal lesions. Most genital HSV infections
in the USA are caused by HSV type 2, while HSV
 type 1 infections are typically orolabial and 7. COITUS INTERRUPTUS – is one of the oldest
