Issues of Isolation and Intimacy for the HIV Infected,Sexually Addicted Gay Male in Group Psychotherapy

The pertinent issues of isolation and intimacy with sexually addicted, HIV infected gay males was researched from the perspective of group psychotherapy as a treatment modality. The purpose of the article was to highlight shame based feelings associated with being sexually addicted and HIV diagnosed with the subsequent behaviors of isolation and difficulties with intimacy. The group model is examined as a means towards alleviating isolation and helping the client form new ways towards bonding and forming intimacy. Group interventions are seen to be helpful in lessening sexual compulsivity, creating new forms of relating and providing a safe environment for an individual dealing with HIV disease.     

尊重历史 实事求是 端正学风——学术个案《公莫舞》研究之研究

论文对以《公莫舞》为代表的汉魏六朝"声辞杂写"乐府古辞研究的历史和现状作了全面的介绍,在《汉〈巾舞歌诗〉试解》、《论〈公莫舞〉非歌舞剧演出脚本》的基础上,对杨公骥先生认为《公莫舞》是歌舞剧演出脚本的结论进行了进一步论证,认为杨先生的结论不能成立,《公莫舞》不是歌舞剧演出脚本,杨公骥先生并没有将中国戏剧史提前一千多年。我们对逯钦立、孙楷第、杨公骥三先生的研究做了比较,说明了杨公骥先生失误的主要原因,最后指出,学术界对杨公骥先生考证结论的盲从和过誉是目前学风不正的表现。     

How the Prevalence Rates of Male Sexual Dysfunction Vary Using Different Criteria

ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study examined the prevalence of male sexual dysfunction (MSD) and how different criteria alter prevalence rates. Methods: Five hundred seventy-three Australian men completed an online survey. Results: Of these men, 42.2% were sexually functional and 57.8% reported 1 or more sexual dysfunctions. No matter which criteria were used, the most prevalent MSD was erectile dysfunction, followed by premature ejaculation, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, and delayed ejaculation. Frequencies varied according to different definitions and measures used to diagnose MSD. More than half of the men with MSD experienced only 1 sexual dysfunction. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the high prevalence of MSD and the relatively low level of comorbidity of MSDs.

Early Indicators of Male Reproductive Toxicity

Longitudinal data were analyzed for seminal characteristics of rhesus monkeys and beagles. The monkeys were exposed to DBCP; the beagles were exposed to acute or chronic whole body gamma irradiation. The semen was analyzed for volume and sperm concentration. Sperm were measured for percent motility, swimming speed, and head dimensions. Abnormalities of the sperm tail were also noted. All treatments resulted in measurable effects on the semen parameters. Sperm production, as evaluated by seminal sperm concentration or total sperm numbers in the ejaculate, was as informative of testicular toxicity as any other parameter or combination of parameters. A consistent finding was that changes in sperm output occurred concomitantly with changes in sperm motility.     

"不比"句多义性动因考察

"不比"句从形式上看是"比"字句的否定形式,但在意义上是不是"比"字句的否定式,众说纷纭。本文认为"不比"句不仅从形式上看是"比"字句的否定式,同时从意义上看也是"比"字句的否定式。"差比"本身包含"胜过"和"不及"两个意义空间,"不比"句在否定"胜过"义时必然留下两个意义空间:"等同"和"不及";在否定"不及"义时也必然留下两个意义空间:"等同"和"胜过"。这是造成"不比"句多义性的根本动因。"没有"句的功能是表示"不及"义,是从"不及"的角度去说X、Y之间的差比关系,因此,严格地说它不是"比"字句的否定式,不具有否定功能。     

秦汉时期婚姻道德生活刍论

秦汉时期固然是奠定中国两千年封建道德基础的重要时期,但在婚姻道德生活领域,却存在着与伦理思想史著作不同的另一番情形：即一方面仍保持着先秦的开放遗风,夫妻关系具有相对的平等性,贞节观念较后世为淡;另一方面新的封建道德却在逐渐确立,从而使这一时期的婚姻道德生活在中国道德生活史上处于继往开来的地位。     

Gender Trouble in Town: Educated Women Eluding Male Domination,Gender Violence and Marriage in PNG

Following Zimmer-Tamakoshi's observations about educated Pacific women not wanting to marry their countrymen, I examine educated Papua New Guinean women's perspectives on marrying Papua New Guinean men. Women in this group avoid marriage because they fear such relationships will destroy their career prospects, compromise their economic and decision-making independence and force them to grapple with male jealousy and violence in the domestic realm. In short, educated Papua New Guinean women perceive partnerships with their countrymen as being more troublesome than they are worth. The women's attitudes and actions suggest an emerging trend with important implications for understanding (both) the relationship between gender and education and intimate relationships in Papua New Guinea.     

Determinants Influencing Male Condom use Among University Students in Portugal

ABSTRACT. A self-administered questionnaire was carried out among university students in Portugal, with the aim to examine determinants influencing male condom use, according to the information–motivation–behavioral skills model (J. Fisher & Fisher, 1992). Students’ levels of information, motivation, and behavioral skills regarding preventive sexual behavior (male condom use) were ascertained and were used to determine their association with condom use among 880 male and 1,807 female students aged 18 to 35 years old. Although 86.9% of respondents indicated that they used a condom during their first sexual intercourse, only 32.8% used a condom always during sexual intercourse in the last 12 months. Most young people, especially women, had a good level of information regarding HIV/AIDS transmission/prevention. They also showed reasonable positive attitudes and had positive subjective norms and intentions toward HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors. Men presented a higher perceived difficulty and a lower perceived effectiveness of HIV/AIDS preventive behavior, therefore reporting higher risk acceptance. A path analysis revealed that preventive sexual behavior did not depend directly on information level but on motivation and behavioral skills (especially among men). Information about HIV prevention/transmission was not significantly associated with condom use. The finding that motivation and behavioral skills were the strongest determinants of condom use suggested that these may be important factors in effective sexually transmitted infection-prevention programs.
