Interview about sexual activity has been performed in 764 male subjects from 20 to 65 years old at 4 areas: Kimbang (Ha nam province), Chi Linh (Hai duong province), Cao Lanh (Dong Thap province), and University of Agriculture No1 (Hanoi). Results have shown that the prevalence of impotence is 15.7 percent, while sexual activity is decreased in 58.37 percent. The impairment of sexual activity is increasing with age and usually starting at ³40 years old (p<0.001). Sexual activity depends on occupation and work load and is decreased in smokers, alcohol consumers. In familial relationship, the decrease of sexual activity depends on female behavior and the number of children. In sum, it can be concluded that such factors as work load, anorexia, excess consumption of alcohol and stressful situation can be the cause of decreased sexual activity.

Sexual activity is a mild effort; this effort intensity is harmless for most cardio vascular patients. With some carefulness, people with cardio vascular problems can have relative normal sexual life and avoid negative mood. Oxygen consumption in sexual activity is approximately 3-4 MET (MET is defined as oxygen demand in resting status, equivalent to 3.5mlO2/kg/min, or 1.2cal/min or 18w) or 630-840ml/min for a 60-kg person.

Vaginismus is a sexual dysfunction which results from vaginal musculature spasm and makes the penetration almost impossible. It is commonly associated with significant emotional distress. On several occasions, fear of pain during sexual intercourse may perpetuate the sexual dysfunction. We report a case of primary vaginismus that was associated with psychiatric squeale of anxiety and depression psychopathology. It suggests that psychological problems related to a mentalhealth problem in vaginismus should be dealt adequately for a holistic approach. A combination of behavioural, psychological and pharmacological treatment is important to ensure a good prognosis outcome.

Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in gynaecological cancer patients. Most of the time, sexual dysfunction in gynaecological cancer is underdiagnosed as there is overlapping of symptoms with other psychological morbidities, interplaying of multiple risks, patients’ reluctance to complain or incompetence of health care provider to assess. Determining the risk factors of sexual dysfunction in cancer patients enables us to pay more attention to those who are vulnerable and to device strategies for early detection, prevention and treatment of sexual dysfunction in them. The main aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its risk factors in gynaecological cancer patients in Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah, Alor Star, Malaysia. Sexual function of eighty-three gynaecological cancer patients who were married were assessed with self-rated MVFSFI (Malay version Female Sexual Function Index). Self-rated WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization- Quality of Life- 26) which assessed the domains of quality of life was used while MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatry Interview) was used for diagnosis of major depressive disorder. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the married gynaecological cancer patients was 65% (54/83). Sexual dysfunction was significantly associated with low education level (OR 3.055, CI 1.009-9.250), shorter duration of cancer(OR 0.966, CI 0.966- 0.998), ongoing chemotherapy (OR 3.045, CI 1.149-8.067),pain perception (OR 3.230, CI 1.257-8.303), absence of sexual intercourse for more than one month (OR 1.862) and three domains of quality of life such as physical health, psychological health and social relationship (OR 0.942, CI 0.908-0.978; OR 0.955, CI 0.916-0.995; OR 0.933, CI 0.894-0.973, respectively). However, sexual dysfunction was not associated with major depressive disorder (χ2 ² = 1.224, p = 0.268). The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in gynaecological cancer patients was comparable to other studies of similar population. Since, the risk factors of sexual dysfunction in gynaecological cancer patients are multidimensional, the process of assessment and management need to be holistic and patient-oriented.

Introduction: Adolescence being a transition phase from a child to an adult, commonly associated with high-risk sexual behaviours, which put them at risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), HIV and unwanted pregnancy. All these risks can be prevented by having adequate knowledge on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Hence, this study aimed to determine the sociodemographic determinants of good SRH knowledge among secondary school children in Kuala Kuantan, Pahang Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 687 secondary school children in Kuala Kuantan, Kuantan, Pahang, using self-administered questionnaire. A multistage cluster sampling was employed to recruit the respondents. Three levels of analysis were conducted to describe the characteristics of the respondents and determining the determinants of good SRH knowledge. Data was analysed using Statistical Package of IBM SPSS Statistics Version 24 and the p value was set to be less than 0.05. Results: The proportion with good SRH knowledge was 58.4%. Upper secondary school age group (AOR 7.142, 95% CI: 4.830, 10.560) and smokers (AOR 2.597, 95% CI: 1.348, 5.004) were found to be significant determinants of good SRH knowledge. Conclusions: The percentage of respondents with good SRH knowledge was just slightly above average. As expected, older school children has the strongest likelihood of having good SRH knowledge. Whether the good SRH knowledge is contributed by the existing SRH curriculum is unclear and requires further exploration. In view of the alarming SRH issues involving younger school children, strategic plan are needed to instil the knowledge at earlier age.

The Global Assembly on Everyday Life, Gender, and Sexuality (GAELGS) gathered people from different walks of life around the globe who worked to advance gender and sexuality in several ways – film, research, educational programs, and services. The content organization was purposeful in creating a safe space for exchanging ideas and practices. The submission of materials for the conference, such as documentaries and short films, is more than research papers that reflect the desire of people to normalize sexuality as part of daily life more than a unique topic of intellectual discourse. However, the need to test practices and models to promote social change must be fostered by continuously offering safe venues for sharing and discussions, like GAELGS.
