Review: Female sexual dysfunctions — the new models

Rosemary Basson

UBC Departments of Psychiatry and Obstetrics & Gynecology, B.C. Centre for Sexual Medicine, Vancouver Hospital, Echelon 5, 855 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1M9, Canada, sexmed{at}interchange.ubc.ca

A new model of women's sexual response reflects their various motivations to be sexual and the fact that psychological and biological factors strongly influence their arousability. Examples of factors stemming from diabetes are included. To increase emotional intimacy with their partner, women will deliberately find or be receptive to sexual stimuli that can potentially be sexually arousing. Only later do they sense specifically sexual need to continue for the sake of sexual sensations, sexual tension and possible orgasmic release. A model of women's subjective sexual arousal reflects the ongoing modulation from her emotions and cognitions as well as highly variable genital feedback.

Key Words: diabetes • women's sexual arousability • motivation.
