Profound Changes in Sex Hormone Levels during Cross‐Sex Hormone Therapy of Transsexuals do not Alter Serum Cholesterol Acceptor Capacity
ConclusionsDespite drastic changes in hormone status, no increase in CAC was detected in MtF patients, and no alteration in CAC was seen in FtM patients. These data further challenge the traditional view that estrogen and testosterone exert beneficial and detrimental effects, respectively, on lipoprotein metabolism and ultimately atherosclerosis.

Understanding the Effects of Establishing Various Cutoff Criteria in the Definition of Men with Premature Ejaculation
ConclusionsBased on our data, clinicians should approach the 1‐minute ejaculatory latency time (ELT) criterion with flexibility, considering ELTs up to 2 minutes for a PE diagnosis. At the same time, frequency of occurrence of either ejaculating before desired or of distress about the condition, as long as they reach at least 50% of the time, had only minor impact on PE diagnostic inclusion.

Psychosexual Well‐Being after Childhood Surgery for Anorectal Malformation or Hirschsprung's Disease
ConclusionApproximately 13% of male ARM and HD patients reported erectile dysfunction, while 50% female ARM and HD patients reported sexual dysfunction not related to quality of life or type of malformation. Both ARM and HD patients felt a need for better addressing sexual concerns during medical care. Further research is needed to optimize form and timing of this education. van den Hondel D, Sloots CEJ, Bolt JM, Wijnen RMH, de Blaauw I, and IJsselstijn H.

Is Pornography Use Associated with Sexual Difficulties and Dysfunctions among Younger Heterosexual Men?
ConclusionWe found little evidence of the association between pornography use and male sexual health disturbances. Contrary to raising public concerns, pornography does not seem to be a significant risk factor for younger men's desire, erectile, or orgasmic difficulties. Landripet I and Štulhofer A.

Cognitive, Psychophysical, and Neural Correlates of Vulvar Pain in Primary and Secondary Provoked Vestibulodynia: A Pilot Study
ConclusionsFindings are limited by sample size and liberal alpha values; however, future research is certainly warranted based on the preliminary findings of this study suggesting both similarities and differences between PVD1 and PVD2. Overall, women with PVD1 seem to fare worse on several pain‐related and psychosocial variables compared with women with PVD2. Sutton K, Pukall C, Wild C, Johnsrude I, and Chamberlain S.

Hypersexuality and High Sexual Desire: Exploring the Structure of Problematic Sexuality
ConclusionOur study supports the distinctiveness of hypersexuality and high sexual desire/activity, suggesting that problematic sexuality might be more associated with the perceived lack of personal control over sexuality and moralistic attitudes than with high levels of sexual desire and activity.

Anandamide Reduces the Ejaculatory Threshold of Sexually Sluggish Male Rats: Possible Relevance for Human Lifelong Delayed Ejaculation Disorder
ConclusionsAEA appears to specifically target the ejaculatory threshold of SLG rats through the activation of CB1 receptors. This specificity along with the fact that AEA's effects are exerted acutely and at low doses makes this drug emerge as a promising treatment for the improvement of the ejaculatory response in men with primary delayed ejaculation.
