L45 Touchpad Not Responding

"If you have complications go see a doctor" ,

often a wise advice, but unfortunately this has meant a great power and authority to physicians and medical, and I suppose this is a side effect of the tremendous medical advances of the last century, can also influence the fact that some and some are considered to evaluate themselves and diostores diostoras and also other forms of health care are more traditional in retreat involving a disempowerment of people without medical training, he had other ways of addressing their health problems, now lots and lots going a doctor who looks at us and we counter something and not given time to explain anything, and sometimes this is enough, but when he gets everyday life under the authority medical, mmm I'm afraid I disagree.

What is the medicalization? Medicalization occurs when health conditions or behavior that have traditionally been thought of as part of normal life are redefined by experts as medical in nature and therefore requiring medical solutions (drugs, surgery, hospitalization), as opposed to environmental solutions, social and even practices (Stein and Kim, 2009:). Well

What is my problem with the medical approach?, For starters it is restricted the doctor is purely physiological approach reduces the daily life and sexual functioning mechanical one aside, or just plain invisible other key areas of human welfare. In 2 nd place, which is a fantastic deal, especially for pharmaceutical companies and what is done in pursuit of greed, is unlikely to be the best for the community and 3 which are erected on top experts in everything, as Bearers of the rational being who is a restricted vision and technique.

Viagra

Lenore Tiefer, a feminist sexologist and sex therapist in-depth critique the medicalization of sex. Tiefer traces the reduction of male sexuality to erections, intercourse and orgasms, culminating in approval by the FDA of Viagra. Año1998 Since its introduction, Viagra has achieved annual sales of over one trillion dollars.

Although it has been promoted as a sexual panacea, Viagra does not directly impact the psychological aspects sexual response, as the desire or attraction, but only the physiological process of erection incurvation. Viagra impact the sexual response in men by increasing blood flow to the penis, increasing the potential for an erection.

The medicalization of female sexuality

With the financial success of Viagra to the pharmaceutical industry will sharpen the tusk, and began looking for a pill for women, another billoncejo year, $ $ $. Tiefer

rattled and pataleteo and claim on the construction of a new diagnosis: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD), which is an aggressive move to medicalization of sexual problems of women and turn them into profits for the pharmaceutical, Therefore, to obtain approval for a female version of Viagra, required that there was a disorder for which the pill may be prescribed.

Many, many academics and researchers defy a mechanical or medical view of sexuality, arguing against reducing women's sexuality to a series of movements, muscle spasms, or moving parts.

The public is encouraged to see the medical model as the standard medical and scientific knowledge. However, the adoption of a medical approach to women's experiences has been limited, distorted and pathologized women's sexuality.

For example, failure to achieve orgasm, low libido or not lubricated enough, now would be disorders and diseases.

Tiefer and colleagues described the medicalization of sexuality as an active process, including a strategy designed by groups whose political and socio-economic interests are served by the medical model. The medicalization of sexuality of women is especially problematic because the experience of women about their own sexuality and is limited by cultural values \u200b\u200band repressive and oppressive systems.

The new view campaign

In response to this corporate strategy, Tiefer and others developed The New View of Female Sexual Problems , a campaign that offers a critique of the prevailing medical model and an alternative perspective.

A multidisciplinary group of researchers on gender, psychologists, social scientists, educators, and therapists have actively resisted attempts by doctors and pharmaceutical distorted representations of female sexuality and exploit the concerns and Women's sexual problems in exchange for profits.

criticism The new view campaign on the medicalized view of female sexuality

Campaign The New View lists problems with the medicalization of sex. The medical model erases the relational context of sexuality and stereotypes and pathologizing women.

The medical emphasis on sexual physiology and performance reinforces narrow definitions of sexuality, and decreases the styles of sexuality that do not focus in genital arousal and orgasm. This model and its practitioners ignore the complex sexuality of women, and gives these more reason to feel insecure.

Under the medical model, factors most likely to become sources of women's sexual complaints, relational issues or sexual ignorance or fear, are overlooked and discarded. Women with these problems are excluded from clinical trials on new drugs, however, if current marketing patterns with men are indicative, such drugs will be aggressively advertised as the solution to all dissatisfactions Women's sexual.

medicalization process is likely to result in women taking pills when what they really need are better relationships.

Seeing women as homogeneous

a medical model that sees the processes physiological genital identical among all women (and basically the same for men and women) ignores the implications of inequities related to gender, social class, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The social, political and economic may limit women's access to sexual health, pleasure and satisfaction in many parts of .

Viewing male and female as equal

The New View Campaign challenges the medical model to create the false notion of equivalence between the sexuality of men and women yafirma that women's sexual problems differ from men's problems in basic ways that are not being considered seriously. .

Research suggests that women experience their sexuality is more relationship-oriented and less focused on the genital that of men. First of all, what women experience and understand how sexual desire differs from what we understand the men of the same concept. For example, women do not separate "desire" of the "excitement or arousal" , and women are more concerned about the subjective arousal (and feel) the physiological (lubrication, nipple erection, etc.).

The pharmaceutical industry has experienced this "revelation." After the initial investigation into a female Viagra has had disappointing results in improving women's sexual response, the industry revealed this amazing discovery to the press. "The problem is Pfizer, is that men and women have fundamentally different relationship between arousal and desire." The sexuality of women was more complex and less genitally focused than men, for women the central nervous system and brain, were somehow involved. The researchers and (as) of Pfizer refer to this as "a off for many women between genital changes and mental changes,

THE COURSE MUST FOCUS as a negative, imply that men would be better connected to their bodies and women connected WORST . What if we expose such as different emphasis? But of course they are angry with women who did not respond as expected in this re-colonization of the body and selfishly deny that new billion annually.

In other words, producing physiological changes on the genitals of men enough to impact male sexuality, but not the female sexual response.

The industry has expanded its search for a cure for sexual problems of women; are now focusing on a patch of testosterone (the hormone that feeds alleged sexual appetite of men .) This hormone is being investigated for its ability to provide sex to women. Now, in addition to seeking the "cure" for Female Sexual Dysfunction, the industry is seeking a "cure" for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. This is the mess that was "cured" through a testosterone patch.

The testosterone patch is a move by Procter and Gamble who proactively designed, financed, and even led the investigation that "documented" the effectiveness of the patch in increasing women's sexual response menopausal as a result of surgery. The investigation has not been published or subjected to the usual and required review by peers.

Women who experience no desire for sex-oriented men, focusing on the genital, penetrative and / or orgasm can now use a patch to correct "their" problem.

offering alternative perspectives

http://www.elizabethmcgrath.com/

The New View Campaign seeks to block efforts to medicalization of women's sexual problems by offering an alternative vision of female sexuality. The group's goal is to raise awareness about bias in medical research, to encourage a feminist perspective Sexual Experiences of women and girls, and stimulate research on the full range of sexual experiences, and non-medical sources of dissatisfaction for women.

The campaign created a new classification of sexual problems for women called "The New View." Surely, "the new view" is not new, but a rethinking and radical extension of the notion that sexual experiences with women (and their sexual problems) is crucial to the quality of life of these (For more information, see the website: www.FSD-ALERT.ORG .)

The Women's Sexual Problems

these problems not only unlikely to be solved by a pill or a patch of

testosterone, women's sexual complaints frequently focus on "problems (usually relational)" which are absent from the Diagnostic Statistical Manual ( DSM) of the (American Psychological Association, 2000 ). The outline of The New View of sexual problems emphasizes lack of knowledge, attitudes and cultural messages, the stress of family and work, family issues, relational and psychological factors like depression and ansiedad.Además the pill and the patch, do not take account the small problem of sexual violence, which is a very common phenomenon, and yes, can cause sexual difficulties in women.
