Erect Penile Dimensions in a Cohort of 778 Middle Eastern Men: Establishment of a Nomogram
ConclusionA nomogram for Middle Eastern men can be used as a standard when advising men with small penis anxiety. The importance of measuring erect size and allowing for infra‐pubic fat interference in measurement is emphasized. We envisage that this tool can be used to educate and reassure concerned men about the size of their penises.

Quality of Life and Psychological Adjustment of Women Living with 46,XY Differences of Sex Development
ConclusionsItalian people living with 46,XY DSD were well adapted and successful; they reported a good QoL but showed higher degree of psychological distress than the comparison group. Lower psychological distress in younger women could indicate some positive effects of changes in management.

The Relationship Between Metabolic Syndrome, Its Components, and Erectile Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and a Meta‐Analysis of Observational Studies

Dealing with Female Sexuality: Training, Attitude, and Practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents from a Developing Country
ConclusionThe vast majority of Brazilian Ob/Gyn residents enrolling in a sexuality course had little previous formal training on this topic in medical school and during their residency programs. Most residents do not take sexual histories of pregnant patients, do not feel confident in answering questions about sexuality in pregnancy, and attribute these difficulties to lack of knowledge. These findings point to a clear need for additional training in sexuality among Brazilian Ob/Gyn residents. Vieira TCSB, de Souza E, da Silva I, Torloni MR, Ribeiro MC, and Nakamura MU.
