While childhood impotence is thought by the Serer (Senegal) to be caused by the spilling of milk on the boy's penis (a fact also documented for the Fulani), in the West boyhood erections become an issue for clinical management within the framework of biomedical emergency and legal investigation (the lowest published age for diagnostic penile plethysmography known to me is 11), but not in terms of facilitation of performance. We conducted spirometry and plethysmography for subject characterization, immediately pre- and postexposure, and pre-SI. A variety of methods can be used, such as air-displacement plethysmography (ADP), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), computerized tomography (CT), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), hydrostatic (underwater) weighing and near infrared reactance. |
