An imperfect world

A creative, open minded, uninhibited woman who eats healthy and is not afraid of being assertive does not have sexual problems, I can guarantee it!

Hello.

My experience renders your guarantee null and void.

I have a physiological sexual dysfunction, which has been diagnosed both by personal history and blood tests which register below-average testosterone levels.

The human body is not perfect; systems can and do have problems. We believe in the existence of impotence because it's visible; why is it so hard to believe that women can have comparable problems?

[Hope this won't void the Salon comment rules, but I've blogged many of the gory details about my history and diagnosis @ http://www.ribarambles.org/fsd.htm ]

The Caveat Was

that with the exception of physiological problems. I would guess testosterone therapy might help, and at least this would therefore be a fixable problem, but I do not know the specifics of your situation.

not all mammals in a pack or troup mate

unless they are subordinate family memebers all the females ususally do, and where there are males (who are not subordinate family members) who don't, which is a common situation, they ususally are not "productive contributing members of society".

MALE FEMALE RATES OF DEPRESSION

SEEM to vary only because men are encouraged to tough it out, to not complain, and to drink likker or do whatever a man needs to do in response to what he feels (slow suicide).

Females are encouraged to talk about their feelings, identify them, luxuriate in them, but they are not encouraged to tough it out, but to complain and (by feminist tenets) blame men for the problem, no matter what it may be.

Heck, since many men are emotionally less smart than women, many men probably do not know they are depressed, but they fall into bad habits anyway and the true impetus for their behavior becomes hidden by habit.

But at core, I believe men's and women's depression rates are probably similar.

Sex scientists stumped by women and "don't know what they are talking about"

Dear Sir or Madam:

With reference to the Tracy Clark-Flory’s column, “SEX SCIENTISTS STUMPED BY WOMEN” (SALON.com, Feb. 26, 2007), and the conclusion “MAYBE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT” reporting of the recent, 6th annual meeting of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, I would like to congratulate her for the sincere summation, and to convey to you my brief reaction.

It seems that many sexologists and probably some other participants at the mentioned meeting are one of the main groups of professionals who are conditioned to think in a feministic way, of biologically independent and not connected sexes (‘genders’). Evidence of this limitation in the meeting considerations is the futile trial and discussion about the use of ‘Viagra’ for ‘treatment’ and “medicalization” of female sexual dysfunctions. No wonder that such ignorance about the elementary women’s sexuality is producing and maintaining an ever-rising and unabated breast cancer epidemic in the country and worldwide.

Is the female sexuality a self-governing category separated from the sexuality of males? Is the woman-man intimate (sexual) stimulation / relationship the same with use of condoms or without use of the device in terms of elimination of the universal and primordial ecosystem? What are the immediate and long-term consequences and sequels of the unknown female response to sterile mating, of such an unnatural and un-physiological marital union?

Apparently, no mention seems to have been made at the meeting about the profound distortion of the human micro-environment by the misconceived CONDOMIZATION of female sexuality,

Namely, evidence has been presented* that the consistent use of condoms is significantly associated with the development of breast cancer in married American women, and that the ensuing epidemic of breast cancer and other diseases and dysfunctions of female reproductive system could positively be attributed to the condom-based “reproductive freedom” fallacy and exposure to the deadly, “safe” hi-tech device gone wrong, the condom.

Sincerely,

Arne N. Gjorgov, M.D., Ph.D. (UNC-SPH, Chapel Hill, NC)
