Bringing sexy back in the delivery room? While lots of women say they are more in touch with their bodies while pregnant, doula, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, takes that concept to an entirely different level encouraging women to enjoy labor to the point of orgasm as their baby births. Couples allowed cameras to roll as delivering mothers climaxed (or came close) in a documentary called, Orgasmic Birth.

When I think of giving birth, a few descriptions come to mind: excruciating, intense, painful, and throbbing. Although I've never actually experienced the joy of having a baby, many of my friends assure me that the hours of agony are completely worth it.

Sex ed in the UK isn't all about STDs and birth control. A leaflet being handed out in schools by Britain's National Health Service hopes to educate students on the pleasures of sex.
With the slogan "an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away," the material reads: Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes physical activity three times a week.

Search Continues for the "Male Pill"
Research is progressing on a male contraceptive, but there have also been setbacks. The drug miglustat (Zavesca), which is used to treat a rare condition called Gaucher's disease, had shown success in animal studies but failed to work in a clinical trial, according to results published in 2007 in Human Reproduction. Researchers are now investigating an experimental drug, Adjudin (AF-2364), which disrupts sperm production.

Uterine Artery Embolization Versus Standard Surgery
Many women with fibroids are considering a procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE) as an alternative to standard surgery such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. A study published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine compared these treatment approaches. The study suggested that UAE results in shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, but a small percentage of women may later need repeat embolization or a hysterectomy.

Lybrel, which contains low doses of the estrogen estradiol and the progesterone levonorgestrol, is taken 365 days a year with active pills.

Definition
Sexual problems are defined as difficulty during any stage of the sexual act (which includes desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution) that prevents the individual or couple from enjoying sexual activity.
Information
Sexual difficulties may begin early in a person's life, or they may develop after an individual has previously experienced enjoyable and satisfying sex. A problem may develop gradually over time, or may occur suddenly as a total or partial inability to participate in one or more stages of the sexual act.
