| | Sex |
 | | The second clear fact about human sex and gender is that a significant proportion of the human population is discordant at some levels of this paradigm, meaning that many people do not have every single biological, psychological, behavioral, and social characteristic in the same column. | | | The word sex is also used as an abbreviation to refer to sexual intercourse (the physical acts related to sexual reproduction) and other human sexual behavior, but this article will discuss the concept of sex defined above. | | | Discordances between the biological and psychosocial levels, such as when the gender identity does not match the anatomic sex, or between the various psychosocial levels, such as when the gender role does not match the gender identity, are even more common but less well understood. |

| | For patients with chronic illness and their partners, a satisfying sex life is one way of feeling “normal” when so much else about their lives has changed. | | | Sex and relationships are important aspects of health. | | | Once the subject of sex has been broached, a sexual history can be taken, focusing on the areas of patient concern. |

| | A sex therapist, occupational therapist or other health professional may have some good ideas. | | | Sexologist Dr. Sandar Gardos suggests planning sex early in the morning to avoid fatigue problems; using side-lying positions instead of climbing on each other; and using vibrators when sensitivity is affected. | | | Some counselors say the key to enjoying sex, with or without disability, is to relax. |

| | Problems like lost interest, lack of focus, compulsive sex, inability to orgasm, or pain before during or after sex--genital or non genital—can seem like they are mental problems. | | | When a medical problem exists or when psychological issues distract women from eroticism, bodies will often fail to function normally in a sexual situation. | | | Many women enter sexual relationships with the expectation that it will come easily to two people who love and desire each other. |

| | Sex and ageing - How you can help yourself |
| | The point of your sex life is to bring greater happiness to you and your partner. | | | Whatever a woman's age, sex shouldn't be painful. | | | Inserting the penis before the woman is fully lubricated (perhaps because the man secretly worries that he will lose his erection) will cause discomfort or even pain. |

| | Anne Lawrence on transsexualism |
| | This reflects my belief that transsexuality is fundamentally about changing one's anatomy, or sex; and that sometimes it may have little to do with gender identity, or with gender role. | | | The argument is that "female" means primary and secondary sex characteristics, that sex is a purely medicalized construct describing reproduction-related structures. | | | It is the rigid medical model of “sex” combined with Dr. Lawrence's fluid foray into identity politics by claiming to be transsexual that is the issue here. |

| | The condition's characteristics are said to include a loss of interest in sex, less enjoyable sex, diminished sensation and inability to achieve orgasm. | | | Yes, say some psychiatrists and drugs companies, who think it is a complex pattern of emotional, hormonal and physiological problems leading to lack of desire in sex, and sometimes pain. | | | The allegations come as the drugs giants compete harder than ever to find the magical medicine that will provide fulfilment for women whose sex drive is no longer there. |
