Background: Sexual activity is an important component of quality of life. To date, no studies have examined the impact of stem design on return to sexual activity (RTS) and quality of sex life after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: A questionnaire was designed to assess preoperative and postoperative sexual habits, joint awareness and physical activity in working-age patients undergoing short-stem (n = 176) or straight-stem (n = 97) THA.
Results: No differences were noted in time until RTS based on the stem design (short stems vs. straight stems; 6 [IQR: 4-10] vs. 6 [4-10] weeks; p = 0.996). Multivariate analysis revealed that higher patient BMI (p = 0.04), female gender (p < 0.001) and lower FJS-12 (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with delayed RTS. Improved hip mobility and reduced pain mainly contribute to improved quality of sexual activity postoperatively.
Conclusion: This study, hence, indicates that stem design has no impact on time until resumption of sexual activity in patients < 65 years. Female obese individuals who are aware of their artificial joint in daily life are at increased risk of delayed RTS after surgery.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

This study focused on continuous monitoring of the immunocontraceptive effect of Improvac® vaccine on the sexual activity of male goats determined by measuring plasma testosterone levels, testicular biometric and ejaculate examination. The animals in the experimental group (n=12) were administered two doses of 2 ml of Improvac® at a four-week interval; the animals in the control group (n=5) received 2 ml of saline. Blood collection, semen collection and testicular measurements were performed at 14-day intervals.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters and selected biochemical markers of canine semen sampled at 24-h intervals over a period of 5 days, preceded by 6 months of sexual abstinence. Full ejaculates were obtained from 6 dogs. Ejaculate volume and total sperm counts in the ejaculate decreased gradually on successive sampling days.

Introduction: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) significantly impacts adults' wellbeing, causing both physical and psychological harm. IPV has been consistently linked to adverse sexual health outcomes, including an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies, and sexual dysfunction. This systematic review examines the evolving relationship between IPV and sexual health outcomes in adults from 2014 to 2024, addressing gaps in understanding across diverse populations and exploring the complex interplay between violence, sexuality, and health.

Purpose: Trans and gender diverse (TGD) people are one of the world's most marginalized populations. Current evidence indicates that ostracism faced by these communities leads to multiple adverse conditions. The synergistic impact of these conditions -a syndemic-has been well established among other marginalized populations.

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health issue and is strongly associated with risky sexual behaviors such as early sexual initiation, unprotected sex, and multiple sexual partners. According to the 2014 World Health Organization report, 11% of all births worldwide were to teenagers aged 15-19 years, with more than 95% of these pregnancies occurring in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, which bears much of this burden. In Rwanda, the prevalence of teenage pregnancy has risen from 4.
