Abortion counseling: attention to the whole woman.

Women's experience of pregnancy and abortion are examined and redefined. Abortion may be undertaken for a variety of reasons, and involves not only physical and emotional health, but also a woman's basic identity. Under restrictive norms and laws set by men, women's decision to abort is a subversive act. Recommendations are made for comprehensive services, including psychosocial counseling to help women cope with social pressures and experience abortion as an act of self-affirmation.

Vaginal erotic sensitivity.

Vaginal erotic sensitivity was investigated in a group of 48 coitally experienced volunteers by means of systematic digital stimulation of both vaginal walls. It was found that 45 subjects reported erotic sensitivity located in most cases on the upper anterior wall, and of those, 30 (66.7%) either reached orgasm or requested to stop stimulation short of orgasm. This study supports previous findings indicating that the vagina of most women has a zone (or zones) of erotic sensitivity whose appropriate stimulation can lead to orgasm; it does not support, however, the particular location and characteristics of the vaginal erogenous zone described by other authors.
