Women who are regularly cycling exhibit different partner preferences than those who use hormonal contraception. Preliminary evidence appears to suggest that during pregnancy women's partner preferences also diverge from those prevalent while regularly cycling. This is consistent with the general assertion that women's mate preferences are impacted by hormonal variation. During pregnancy, women's preferences are thought to closely resemble those displayed by women who are using hormonal contraception. Here, based on this literature, we compared levels of sexual desire among pregnant women who met their partner while using hormonal contraception and pregnant women who met their partner while regularly cycling. We predicted that women who met their partner while using hormonal contraception would experience higher levels of in-pair sexual desire during pregnancy since these women will have partner preferences that more closely match those prevalent at the time of their partner choice. Our results provided support for the idea that previous contraceptive use/non-use may impact subsequent sexual desire for the partner during pregnancy. Pregnant women who met their partner while using hormonal contraception (N = 37) were shown to have higher levels of in-pair sexual desire than those who met while regularly cycling (N = 47). In contrast, levels of extra-pair desire were not related to previous use/non-use of hormonal contraception. These findings were robust when controlling for a number of relevant individual difference variables known to impact sexual desire. Our results contribute to our understanding of factors affecting relationship functioning during pregnancy.
INTRODUCTION: It has been asserted that women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm (her orgasm as a result of sexual activities with a partner) is determined by duration of foreplay, but not by duration of penile-vaginal intercourse. AIMS: The objective was to examine the extent to which women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm is associated with duration of foreplay, duration of penile-vaginal intercourse, and age. METHODS: In a representative sample of the Czech population, 2,360 women reported their consistency of orgasm with a partner (from "never" to "almost every time"), and estimates of their typical durations of foreplay and of penile-vaginal intercourse. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The association of consistency of partnered orgasm with typical durations of both foreplay and penile-vaginal intercourse. RESULTS: In univariate analyses, consistency of partnered orgasm was more associated with penile-vaginal intercourse duration than with foreplay duration (consistency also correlated negatively with age). In multivariate analysis, foreplay ceased to be a significant correlate of partnered orgasm consistency (the exclusion of respondents reporting a penile-vaginal intercourse duration of 1 minute or less did not alter the results). CONCLUSIONS: When both sexual activity categories are examined in tandem on a population level, women's likelihood or consistency of partnered orgasm is associated with penile-vaginal intercourse duration, but not with foreplay duration. In contrast to the assumptions of many sex therapists and educators, more attention should be given to improve the quality and duration of penile-vaginal intercourse rather than foreplay.

We assessed the relative contribution of economic, personal, and affective power bases to perceived relationship power. Based on evolutionary studies, we predicted that personality dominance and mate value should represent alternative personal power bases. Our sample was comprised of 84 Czech heterosexual couples. We measured the economic power base using self-report scales assessing education, income and work status. Personal power bases were assessed using self-report measures of personality dominance (International Personality Item Pool Dominance and Assertiveness subscale from NEO Personality Inventory-Revised Extraversion scale), and partner-report measures of mate value (Trait-Specific Dependence Inventory, factors 2-6). The first factor of Trait-Specific Dependence Inventory, which measures agreeableness/commitment was used to assess the affective power base. Our results show that perceived relationship power is associated with a perception of partner's high agreeableness/commitment. Moreover, women's personality dominance and mate value are also linked with perceived relationship power, which supports our evolutionary prediction of dominance and mate value working as power bases for women. The stronger effect of women's than men's power bases may be due to gender differences in investment into relationships and/or due to transition to more equal relationships currently sought by women in the Czech Republic.

Mate choice in humans is specific by the involvement of kin both in partner choice and in the functioning of the relationship. The influence of relatives ranges from providing advice all the way to arranged marriages. Existing research so far tended to map neither the actual parental interventions and further reactions (counteractions) nor the independently pursued behavior (actions) by which the offspring or their partners assert their interests. This study identified such sets of behaviors through semi-structured individual interviews with members of 20 dyads of adult offspring and their biological parents (five son-mother, five son-father, five daughter-mother, and five daughter-father dyads). Thematic analysis revealed sets of parental actions aimed at the offspring, their partners, and the couple as a whole, as well as further counteractions (reactions to parental interference) and independently pursued behavior (actions) of the offspring and their partners aimed at the parents in the context of the offspring's previous or current relationship. Our findings showed that parental interference differed depending on the recipient: toward the couple were applied mainly indirect and supportive parental actions, whereas when facing their offspring or offspring's partner, parents' actions were more direct and disruptive. Our results thus indicate the importance of reporting about actual interactions which differ from the hypothetical settings used in prior studies by lower intensity. Moreover, by interviewing both members of dyads, we expanded the sets of actions and counteractions identified by prior studies and managed to limit self-reporting bias.
Cíl: Cílem práce byla adaptace škály pro hodnocení potřeb u závažně duševně nemocných - Camberwell Assessment of Need, klinická verze (CAN-C), do českého jazyka a ověření v pilotním šetření, zda může monitorování potřeb tímto nástrojem pomoci lépe identifikovat potřeby pacientů a zda tak může zlepšit výsledek rehabilitace. Materiál a metoda: CAN-C byl standardním způsobem adaptován do češtiny. Do pilotního šetření CAN-C bylo v prvním kole zařazeno 122 pacientů se schizofrenií rehabilitovaných v komunitních službách. Zjištěné potřeby byly následně využity v rehabilitačních plánech a intervencích. Druhého kola šetření po 6 měsících se účastnilo již pouze 88 pacientů z původního vzorku. Pro první kolo šetření byly spočteny průměrné počty naplněných a nenaplněných potřeb v hodnocení uživatelů i profesionálů a byly identifikovány nejčastější oblasti potřeb. Změny v počtu potřeb mezi prvním a druhým kolem v jednotlivých položkách byly vyhodnoceny neparametrickým chí kvadrát testem. Výsledky: Nejčastějšími doménami nenaplněných potřeb v hodnocení uživatelů služeb byly: přátelé, sexualita, intimní vztahy, psychické potíže, finanční dávky; v hodnocení profesionálů: přátelé, intimní vztahy, psychické potíže, denní činnosti, finanční dávky. Mezi prvním a druhým kolem se snížily celkové naplněné i nenaplněné potřeby v hodnocení uživatelů i profesionálů, avšak pouze nesignifikantně. Došlo však ke statisticky významnému poklesu naplněných potřeb u položky "ohrožuje sebe" v hodnocení uživatelů a k poklesu všech potřeb u položky "finanční dávky" v hodnocení uživatelů i profesionálů. Závěr: Adaptovaný nástroj CAN-C lze použít pro průřezové šetření potřeb pacientů zařazených do rehabilitačního programu. Nástroj rovněž umožňuje posoudit změny ve výsledku rehabilitace po předchozím šetření potřeb a modifikaci rehabilitačních intervencí.
Aims/Objectives: Aim of this study was adaptation of the Camberwell Assessment of Need - Clinical Version (CAN-C) into the Czech language. Further objective was a verification in a pilot study, whether the monitoring of needs using this instrument helps better to identify the needs of the patients and whether it can improve the outcome of rehabilitation. Methods: CAN-C was adapted into the Czech language in a standard way. The pilot survey CAN-C in the first round included 122 patients with schizophrenia being rehabilitated in community services. Identified needs were subsequently used in rehabilitation plans and interventions. Only 88 patients from the original sample attended second round of investigation after 6 months. The average number of met and unmet needs in the assessment of users and professionals has been calculated for the first round of investigation and the most common needs have been identified. Changes in numbers of needs between the first and second round in individual items were evaluated by non-parametric chi-square test. Results: The most common domains in the assessment of unmet needs of service users were: friends, sexuality, intimate relationships, mental problems, financial benefits, and in the evaluation of professionals: friends, intimate relationships, mental problems, daily activities, financial benefits. Met and unmet needs in total in the assessment of users and professionals have decreased between the first and second round, but only insignificantly. However, there was a statistically significant decrease in met needs at the domain "a threat to himself" in the assessment of users and a drop of the both types of needs in the item "financial benefits" in the evaluation of users and professionals. Conclusion: Adapted tool CAN-C may be used for cross-sectional survey of needs in patients enrolled in a rehabilitation program. The tool also allows to assess changes in the outcome of rehabilitation after a previous investigation of needs and modification of rehabilitation interventions.

Většina žhářských útoků je motivovaná mstou. Žháři obecně nejsou charakterizováni násilím vůči druhým lidem, ale agrese při zakládání požárů hraje významnou roli. Jen malá část žhářů zakládá oheň pro vlastní potěšení. Existuje nějaký vztah mezi pyromanií a pyrofilií, nebo to jsou dvě rozdílné diagnostické jednotky? Studium problematiky komplikuje nejednotnost chápání těchto pojmů. Pacienti s diagnózou patologického žhářství mohou vykazovat příznaky pyromanie i pyrofilie (reaktivita na podněty s ohněm při phalopletysmografii). Možným vysvětlením je souvislost motivačních systémů - sebeprosazovacího a sexuálního. Z neurobiologického hlediska mají impulzivní žháři (pyromani) snížené koncentrace me tabolitů monoaminů v mozkomíšním moku. Tuto sníženou koncentraci mají i žháři, kteří zapalují opakovaně. Snížená hladina serotoninu má i prediktivní hodnotu. Při převaze impulzivity dostupné prameny podporují nasazení léků zvyšujících hladinu serotoninu a při fetišismu ohně útlum libida. Většina patologických žhářů nezná motivaci svého puzení a zároveň mu obtížně odolává. Jednání žhářů přitom může mít nedozírné následky. U nás ani ve světě neexistuje standardizovaná léčba pro pyromany a pyrofily Pochopení a přijetí odchylnosti motivace vyžaduje komplexní přístup a velkou časovou investici. Přínosem by byla centralizace této problematiky do jednoho místa v České republice, např. v Psychiatrické nemocnici Kosmonosy. Údaje z literatury jsou v článku porovnávány s nálezy ze sedmi chorobopisů patologických žhářů, kteří prošli sexuologickým oddělením Psychiatrické nemocnice Kosmonosy. Zahrnuty jsou i kazuistiky pyromanie a pyrofilie.
A majority of pyromaniac attacks is driven by revenge. In general, pyromaniacs are not characteristic for their violence towards others, but aggression plays an important role when starting fire. Only a small part of pyromaniacs starts a fire for personal pleasure. Is there a relationship between pyromania and pyrophilia? Are the two different diagnostic units? The study of this question is complicated due to inconsistency of understanding the terms. Patients diagnosed with pathological pyromania may show signs of both pyromania and pyrophilia (reactivity to fire stimuli during phalloplethysmography tests). How to view such patients? A possible explanation is the connection between self-asserting motivational system and sexual motivational system. From neurobiological view, impulsive pyromaniacs show lower concentrations of monoamine metabolites in their cerebrospinal fluid. Such lowered concentration also occurs in pyromaniacs who start fires repeatedly. Lower serotonin level also has a predictive value. Available data support administration of drugs increasing serotonin levels for impulsivity predominance; and libido suppression for fire fetishism. A majority of pathological pyromaniacs do not know the motivation for their compulsion. They find it difficult to face the compulsion, and their behaviour may have unforeseeable consequences. A standardised treatment for patients with pyromania and pyrophilia does not exist anywhere in the world. Complex approach and time are required to both understand and accept the motivational deviation. It would be desirable to centralise this question into a single place in the Czech Republic, such as the Kosmonosy Psychiatric Centre. I compare literature findings with diagnosis from 7 case records of pathological pyromaniacs, who spent time in the Sexology Ward of the Kosmonosy Psychiatric Centre; including case studies of pyromania and pyrophilia.
