Answer to Question 1

Responses should consider:
The three-dimensional model of sexual problems is a method of classifying or diagnosing sexual problems according to their duration, context, and frequency.
- Duration (primary or secondary): This refers to how long a person has been experiencing the problem. A primary sexual problem is one that has always existed in the person's sexual life.
- A secondary problem is one that is occurring now but was not present at some point in the person's past sexual experiences.
- Context (global or situational): A global problem is one that occurs for an individual or couple in virtually all settings. A situational problem is experienced in specific settings, but is absent in other contexts.
- Frequency (total or partial): A total sexual problem is one that occurs invariably, that is, every time, in a given setting. A problem defined as partial occurs often enough to cause distress, but not on every occasion in that particular setting.
- The hypothetical woman described above is experiencing a secondary problem; she was orgasmic in the past, and now she is not. Her problem could also be considered situational if she was orgasmic in previous settings, but not with the current partner.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
