However, I fear his concerns to be as misplaced as his citation ('unpublished observations') will remain elusive. The study cited in the paper will be published in full elsewhere (Journal of Behavioral Assessment). No assumptions were made about the nature of the processes under investigation; we were merely interested in the reliability of different recording methods. Our parameters were defined by previous research carried out by the World Health Organization's Special Program of Research in Human Reproduction (1982), with the relationship of morning erections to bladder distension duly acknowledged. Dr. Fielding's remaining points are equally misleading. Although we may all speculate on the merits or demerits of retarding ejaculation, our preference would be to obtain data, particularly in view of the cross-cultural significance of such information. Similarly, that spermatozoa constitute less than 1% of the total volume of ejaculatory fluid is academic in the absence of precise methods of abolishing spermatogenesis without impairing sexuality or health status. The question as to the potential acceptability of hypothetical methods decreasing volume of ejaculate remain, especially when considering the important distinction between objective and subjective appraisals of change (Marshall, 1977).","PeriodicalId":84344,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Psychological Society","volume":"36 ","pages":"90-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22004596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Psychological issues arising from the development of new male contraceptives.","authors":"R Fielding","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Reading et al. (Bulletin, October 1982) report low correlations between morning erectile frequency and diary card records of sexual behavior, and consider difficulties in accurately assessing the monthly frequency of such erections. It seems that the authors have a problem that may derive from the assumption that erections are always associated with sexual arousal. I would argue that this is not the case. If the authors consider the frequency with which morning erections are maintained following micturation, I suspect they would find a lower incidence of early morning erection than they have hiterto. A full bladder in the morning is frequently associated with erection, with detumescence following micturation (Fielding, R. unpublished observations on a single case study for 16 years). Is it possible, therefore, that to consider the term erection as synonymous with sexual arousal can sometimes confuse the simple minds of men? The authors also considered whether retarded ejaculation is perceived as positive or negative. Obviously, this would depend on the duration of retardation. Total retardation would, I predict, prove to be an effective, though unpopular means of contraception, whilst a contraceptive which trebled or quadrupled the duration of intercourse might be much more popular. Finally, as an effective male contraceptive would function by preventing spermatogenesis only, and as spermatozoa constitute less than 1% of the total volume of ejaculatory fluid, no significant changes in the volume of ejaculate should occur. Perhaps contrary to the author's assumption than basic information on the subject is lacking, it has been there under our noses, so to speak, all the time.","PeriodicalId":84344,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Psychological Society","volume":"35 ","pages":"472"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22004388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychological factors in breast feeding versus bottle feeding in the Third World. 第三世界母乳喂养与奶瓶喂养的心理因素。

{"title":"Psychological factors in breast feeding versus bottle feeding in the Third World.","authors":"N Berry, M Mccullough","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Some readers may be aware of the sociopolitical and moral issues associated with the theme of Brenda Meldrum's article (Bulletin, June 1982) about breast and bottle feeding in the 3rd world. For over a decade many groups (e.g. War on Want; World Development Movement) have been concerned that unnecessary bottle feeding has almost certainly resulted in considerable infant disease and mortality in the 3rd world. Morever, such groups have been well aware of the high psychological value of formula foods; and have attributed this mainly to the aggressive and fundamentally dishonest way in which food companies promote their breastmilk substitutes. In 1979, in response to the bad publicity resulting from the campaigning of 3rd world agencies, Nestle and others agreed to adopt a voluntary code of practice proposed by World Health Organization and UNICEF. However, commercial interests have prevailed--baby food sales in 3rd world account for 2 1/2% of 1 transnational group's turnover--and the malpractices have continued. In view of this we feel that it is appropriate to amend Brenda Meldrum's conclusion to: While transnational corporations continue to actively promote their baby food products in the 3rd world, there can be no reversal to the old, exclusive breastfeeding of traditional practice, and that infants that would otherwise have lived will continue to die. The boycott campaign is continuing and might we suggest that BPS members who organize conferences give some thought to the possibility of requesting that their caterers do not use products of these companies. A list of companies may be obtained from New Internationalist (February 1982) or from us.","PeriodicalId":84344,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Psychological Society","volume":"35 ","pages":"355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22004581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
