UNASSIGNED: To clarify the psychosocial and behavioral factors related to women\'s sexual pleasure.
UNASSIGNED: A search was conducted on EBSCO and Web of Science databases using the key terms \"female sexual pleasure\" and \"women sexual pleasure\" and following PRISMA guidelines.
UNASSIGNED: 76 articles were identified, referring to sexual practices, individual factors, interpersonal factors, societal factors, and ways of enhancing sexual pleasure.
UNASSIGNED: Age, sexual experience, arousability, body-esteem, sexual autonomy, and sexual assertiveness seem to benefit women\'s sexual pleasure, while sexual compliance and a gender power imbalance seem to compromise it. Additional research regarding non-western and non-heterosexual women is still required.

BACKGROUND: Active debate concerns whether male circumcision (MC) affects sexual function, penile sensation, or sexual pleasure.
OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review examining the effect of MC on these parameters.
METHODS: PRISMA-compliant searches of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were performed, with \"circumcision\" used together with appropriate search terms. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria were rated for quality by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network system.
METHODS: Evidence rated by quality.
RESULTS: Searches identified 46 publications containing original data, as well as 4 systematic reviews (2 with meta-analyses), plus 29 critiques of various studies and 15 author replies, which together comprised a total of 94 publications. There was overall consistency in conclusions arising from high- and moderate-quality survey data in randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, physiological studies, large longitudinal studies, and cohort studies in diverse populations. Those studies found MC has no or minimal adverse effect on sexual function, sensation, or pleasure, with some finding improvements. A consensus from physiological and histological studies was that the glans and underside of the shaft, not the foreskin, are involved in neurological pathways mediating erogenous sensation. In contrast to the higher quality evidence, data supporting adverse effects of MC on function, sensation, or pleasure were found to be of low quality, as explained in critiques of those studies.
CONCLUSIONS: The consensus of the highest quality literature is that MC has minimal or no adverse effect, and in some studies, it has benefits on sexual functions, sensation, satisfaction, and pleasure for males circumcised neonatally or in adulthood.

Contraception is essential to preventing unintended pregnancy. While contraceptive use has increased significantly over the past decade, discontinuation and gaps in use remain common. Although women cite side effects as the reason for discontinuing or stopping methods, little is known about the specific ways in which contraception affects women\'s sexual experiences. This systematic scoping review aimed to understand how contraceptive-induced side effects relating to women\'s sexual experiences have been measured, classified, and explored in the literature, specifically in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were peer-reviewed, English-language articles published between 2003 and 2018 that examined women\'s sexual experiences related to their use of modern contraception, including sexual satisfaction, arousal, sexual dysfunction, discomfort, vaginal dryness, sexual frequency, and relationship or partner dynamics. Study populations were restricted to women of reproductive age in LMICs. Twenty-two studies were deemed eligible for inclusion, comprising a range of methods and geographies. Emergent sexual experience themes included: menstrual issues impacting sexual experience; libido; lubrication; sexual pleasure; dyspareunia; and female sexual function. Results highlight the variability in measures used, lack of a women-centred perspective, and void in research outside of high-income countries to study the influence of contraception on women\'s sexual experiences. Very few studies focused on women\'s sexual experiences as the primary outcome or predictor. Providers should adopt woman-centred contraceptive counselling that considers women\'s relationships. Further research is needed to disentangle the nuanced effects of contraception on women\'s sex lives, contraceptive decision-making, and method continuation.
