Chronobiologie de la physiologie orgasmique féminine
The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of the time factor in the development and onset of the female orgasm.

During the pre-puberty period, the appetite for orgasm can only be satisfied by the clitoris. Activated by stimulation from the subje...

Mise à jour sur la prise en charge pharmacologique des dysfonctionnements sexuels féminins
In conclusion, although the evidence supports an integrated biopsychosocial approach to the treatment of FSDs, biological and psychological factors are too often artificially separated in clinical practice. And clinicians who are used to practice the integrative approach to treating FSDs may use drugs outside of the MA. Clinicians that usually adopt a complete integrative model to treat FSD, use drugs in off-label procedures. (Source: Sexologies)
