    Double Standard for Traditional Value of Virginity and Premarital Sexuality in Turkey: A University Students Case
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011) Essizoglu, Altan; Yasan, Aziz; Yildirim, Ejder Akgun; Gurgen, Faruk; Ozkan, Mustafa
    This study investigates the prevalence of myths regarding virginity and the hymen and their associations with sexuality prior to marriage. This study was conducted with 534 single, heterosexual male and female students from various faculties of Dicle University in Turkey. The findings demonstrated that the rates of masturbation (11.1%) and premarital sexual intercourse (4.3%) were much lower in women than in men (87.7% and 44.2% respectively) who were traditionally expected to maintain their virginity until marriage. A higher degree of commitment to religious faith was associated with a lower rate of masturbation and sexual contact experience. Also, the myth that the hymen symbolized virginity was slightly more prevalent among male students (74.2% vs. 72.1%). Female virginity was significantly more important among male students (76.7%) than females (11.1%), and male students more frequently (30.1% vs. 11.1%) stated that othe blood-stained bed sheeto should be displayed to the family on the day of marriage. Although some myths about virginity were frequently reported by females, less significance was attributed to virginity by females than by males. In conclusion, the traditional social structure that incites sexual double standards still prevails over the sexual attitudes and behaviors of university students in Turkey.

    Marital Satisfaction, Sexual Problems, and the Possible Difficulties on Sex Therapy in Traditional Islamic Culture
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Yasan, Aziz; Gurgen, Faruk
    We plan to investigate the level of marital satisfaction, the prevalence of sexual problems, and related issues in couples who were referred to an outpatient clinic of psychiatry for their sexual problems. All were living according to traditional Islamic culture. Twenty-five (80.64%) of the couples attended the clinic for not being able to have any sexual intercourse. Overall, 25.8% of the women, and 3.2% of the men had been married without their consent; those marriages were arranged and mediated by matchmakers. Vaginismus (58.06%) was the most common diagnosis among women and premature ejaculation (38.70%) among men. We found that marital satisfaction was affected by the mode of marriage.

    Venlafaxine addiction without a history of alcohol and substance abuse: a case report In this paper, the aim was to present a patient who had no history of drug or alcohol abuse but was prescribed venlafaxine because of her complaints of headache and increased its dosage by herself on the pretext of a decrease in efficiency. A 35 year-old female patient complaining of headache was prescribed 75 mg/day venlafaxine by a psychiatrist, and the dosage was increased to 225 mg/day by the same doctor, and then the drug dosage was increased to 2100 mg/day by the patient herself. The patient was hospitalized and venlafaxine dosage was gradually decreased and stopped in 10 weeks. This case shows that antidepressant dependence may develop in patients without a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
