You can tell how good a man is in bed by his personality type, scientists reveal 0 124

YOU can tell how good a man is in bed if you study his personality, scientists claim.

They analysed 1,740 men in Taiwan who were young, healthy and sexually active.

But they shared the same problem in bed – erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction is said to be a common problem, especially as men get older.

It can be caused by health conditions, such as diabetes, as well as psychological issues, such as stress.

What urologists at Taipei Veterans General Hospital wanted to uncover was whether a man’s personality drives his inability to get or keep an erection.

They quizzed the participants in order to score them on erectile dysfunction severity.

They then measured how much they fit the personality type “type D personality (TPD)”. 

There are four personality types:

  • Type A, The Director: Goal-oriented, risk-taking, good under stress
  • Type B, The Socialiser: Relationship-oriented, outgoing, enthusiastic
  • Type C, The Thinker: Detail-oriented, logical, prepared
  • Type D, The Supported: Task-oriented, stabilising, cautious

It was found that more than half (54.1 per cent) of the men with erectile dysfunction had Type D personality, according to findings in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, published by Elsevier.

Some other traits of Type D personality include that they find it difficult to speak up, are shy, resistant to change, and go along with things rather than confront them.

Their personality strengths include being approachable, trusting, caring, stable, self-confident and reliable. 

And now, researchers suggest they are more likely to have severe erectile dysfunction.

The character trait of social inhibition had a greater influence on moderate or severe ED than negative affectivity.

Social inhibition is when someone shys away from socialising, while negative affectivity is when someone strongly feels emotions such as sadness, worry or irritability.

Men with Type D personality also scored higher on a depressive symptom scale than men with other personality types. 

Depression is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction, according to the NHS. 

But where this personality type may fault men is that they are less likely to seek medical help, research suggests.

The paper also said that links have been made between TDP and bad health habits such as inactivity, smoking, and poor diet – all of which are not favourable for erectile dysfunction.

“The TDP prevalence in the overall population of European countries is estimated to be 16.6 to 38.5 per cent,” researchers said.

“TDP negatively affects erectile function both directly and indirectly, through depression. 

“Therefore, we recommend that urologists seek to identify patients with TDP.”

When to seek help?

The NHS says most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection.

This is usually caused by stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol, and it’s nothing to worry about.

If it happens more often, it may be caused by physical health or emotional problems.

The heath agency says to see a GP or go to a sexual health clinic if erection problems keep happening.

It could be a sign of an underlying health condition which needs treatment, such as diabetes.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 259

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
