INTRODUCTION: urethral coitus is very rare and in the reported cases, it was mostly presented with urinary incontinence and infertility. Septate vagina and other anomalies of hymeneal orifice are predisposing factors at the time of initiation of sexual activity. (1) Urethral INTERCOURSE in the female is very rare. When urethral coitus occurs, it is usually in association with rape or with vaginal atresia or other hymeneal anomalies. We present two cases of urethral coitus in presence and absence of a genital anomaly. . . .

Background: Health is a very essential issue in our world. From the classic and traditional medicine point of view, our surroundings and habitat including geographic location, climatic conditions, eating and drinking habits, training and emotions, contribute to a healthy life style. With an overview in traditional medicine, it is clear that there is another important aspect in preventive medicine and it is sexual life and INTERCOURSE.Materials and Methods: We reviewed reference textbooks in traditional Iranian medicine and classic medicine about sexual life and INTERCOURSE and their role in a healthy life style. We looked for sexual life and its relationship with eating, types of drinking, bathing, sleeping, special timing in the course of a day and its intervals in those references. Also we reviewed Al-Ghanoon by Avicina, Zakhireh Kharazmshahi and Kamel alsanaeh.Results: In Iranian traditional medicine, having healthy sexual life and INTERCOURSE not only serve as a means for pleasure, but they are also important aspects of a healthy life style.Conclusion: Therefore, they need to be performed in certain times and periods, there should be a prologue and foreplay and special limitations should be observed with regard to drinking and eating habits. The role of sexual life and INTERCOURSE in health and preventive medicine are essential. Also it is absolutely necessary to educate public about those essential issues in health clinics and primary care settings.

Introduction: Early initiation of sex increases the risks of unprotected sex, multiple partners, and sexually transmitted infections. The effective factors of premarital sexual INTERCOURSE have not been widely studied. Objective: This study aimed at identifying environmental factors influencing premarital sexual INTERCOURSE from the Iranian youths’ perspective. Materials and Methods: Using a qualitative content analysis method, we carried out on students of the Payame Noor University of Shiraz, Iran. A total of 30 single male and female students were selected using a purposive sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed via thematic analysis. Participation in the study was voluntary with informed consent. Results: Seven teen subjects were male, and 13 were female. Analysis of the transcripts yielded 5 main categories: Culture, Cocio-economic status, Family, Media, and Friends, and Peers. The sub-categories were acculturation, cultural norms, economic problems, heavy dowry, availability of unhealthy options, family support, family values and norms, control and supervision, parent-child relationship, satellite, Internet, friends, and peer pressure, and lack of resistance to peer and friends’ influence. Conclusion: The educational programs and interventions should emphasize the role of cultural factors and family support and monitoring by families to help correct sexual orientation and healthy behaviors among adolescents. Furthermore, training programs should consider the negative impacts of western media and the effects of peer pressure on the formation and correction of premarital sexual behavior.

Background: Pregnancy is one of the most critical periods in women's lives. Sexual relationships change in this period. Monitoring of uterine contractions has been shown increase in uterine activity after sexual INTERCOURSE in pregnant women.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association of sexual INTERCOURSE during pregnancy with labor onset.Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 120 pregnant women with signs of labor onset at referral hospitals of Kashan University of Medical Sciences between November and March 2012. Signs of labor onset included labor pain, bloody show, or rupture of membrane. Subjects were investigated in two groups regarding history of coitus in the last week of pregnancy. A questionnaire containing demographic questions, obstetrical history, and sexual activity was completed by trained midwife through face-to-face interview. Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test were used to check the homogeneity of the two groups for basic and confounding variables. Independent-samples t-test was used to compare differences between groups in terms of mean gestational age.Results: There was no significant difference between groups in age (P=0.434), body mass index (P=0.705), neonatal weight (P=0.421), maternal education (P=0.963), occupation (P=0.381), and parity (P=0.925). Gestational age at the time of delivery was significantly lower in INTERCOURSE group in comparison with control group based on last menstrual period (P=0.012) and ultrasonography (P=0.002). There was no correlation between INTERCOURSE and cause of admission (P=0.720). Type of delivery (cesarean section or vaginal delivery) was not affected by INTERCOURSE (P=0.820) or contact with semen (P=0.841). Results showed no significant difference in neonatal weight based on presence of sexual INTERCOURSE (P=0.422) or contact with semen (P=0.583) at the last week of pregnancy.Conclusions: Sexual activity in last week of pregnancy might be associated with the onset of labor. Therefore, in the absence of complications in term pregnancy, sexual activity can be considered as a natural way to prevent post term pregnancy.
