There has been much research directed towards unveiling the mysteries of the female orgasm. Statement number nine on “The Sexual Knowledge Survey” distributed by Nassau Community College states that, “there are two different types of biological orgasms in women: clitoral and vaginal”. Without any added research, I would automatically assume that to be correct because I believe that when a woman is stimulated in different areas in distinctive ways she will receive endless amounts of various types of responses leading to different types of orgasms. Faye Brennan submitted an article to “Women’s Health Magazine”, that not only supports my opinion but also describes in depth the differences between the various forms of an orgasm. According to Brennan,
This is Damian form your Monday's & Wednesday's 12:30 pm class , it came to my attention that there seemed to be some problems relating to the test we just took on chapter 2 of the Human Sexuality class. Personally, im under the impression that i took the new exam although it had no timer applied to it and some of the question's apparent responses seem a little contradictional. On this questions for example # 1; "Which of the following statements regarding the desire phase of sexual response is true?" , #2; In which of the following areas would Masters and Johnson's research on sexual response be least helpful?, #3; Which of the following most accurately describes the plateau phase?, the book clearly states that this is
The first chapter opened my eyes to diverse topics about human sexuality in general. My generation has sex almost emotionlessly because of the hookup scene that surrounds us in society. But we have sex until one of the partners has an orgasm. “Our concept of sex has become so male-defined that the single orgasm has become the gold standard for women’s sexual response, and orgasm is often considered “optional” despite many women’s ability have multiple orgasms (Chalker 23).” This concept of sex seems to be
Kaplan’s excitement and orgasm phases are similar to Masters and Johnson’s phases of excitement and orgasm. Masters and Johnson’s model begins with excitement, which is the initial sexual arousal phase. Changes that occur during this phase is erection of the penis, lubrication of the vagina, muscle tension, and an increase of heart rate and blood pressure. (Cosgrove & Ronk, 2014). These changes occur in both models.
The essay “Gonad the Barbarian and the Venus Flytrap: Portraying the Female and Male Orgasm” by Anne McClintock, argues that the portrayal of male and female sexual pleasure varies between the two. Not only are they portrayed in different ways, but the way that they’re seen socially and historically is also different (McClintock). McClintock argues that the denial of orgasms for women is not because they lack the ability to, but because of views of gender. McClintock wants to expose the reader to the cultural phenomena of the denial of female sexual pleasure. I will be analyzing how McClintock argues the idea that women are denied sexual pleasure by giving historical background of female orgasms, and personal experiences.
The sexual response cycle is a term referencing the changes that occur within the body as it is becoming aroused (Nevid & Rathus, 2010). This cycle, the sexual response cycle, consists of four phases. Phase one is excitement. Phase two is plateau. Phase three is orgasm. Phase four is resolution. Even though the changes that occur in men’s and women’s bodies differ in each phase, they do have some things in common. So that we may learn and better understand what makes us different and the same, we must first learn the components that make up the sexual response cycle. There are two components and they are vasocongestion and myotonia (Nevid & Rathus,
after the declaration of this new disease, such as: “1/3 of the women at the age of
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGASMS & HOW TO GET THERE Have you ever been on that “peak” during your sexy time? Or are you always trying new ways to get there? It’s the climax that feels better than diving into a pool in a sweltering weather. According to several major surveys, only 25 percent of women always climax during sex with their partner. The rest gets hit or misses, while some never experienced orgasms before.
Good morning. I'm here to talk about a sensitive topic, an issue that is present since the beginning of mankind but is only being widely accepted today. Before anything else, I will show you some pictures. Can anyone please tell me what these ancient images depict? Are they cooking? Are they worshiping their gods? You're correct. They are masturbating! Ancient people express their emotions and everything they see in drawings. These drawings serve as a mirror that reflects their early society and these images show us that masturbation had been practiced since the dawn of mankind. Most early people seem to have connected human sexuality with abundance in
An estimated 1 in 10 Americans are addicted to some form of drug or alcohol, according to statistics from Harvard Health Publications. It's easy to assume that a user makes a choice to use an addictive substance. While this may be initially true, a closer look at the brain science behind addiction blurs the line between choice and compulsion.
The role of the orgasm in heterosexual relationships is significant in having a satisfying malefemale relationship according to society’s expectations. By using the malefemale binary, as well as exploring the social construction of sex, we can see just how significant the role the orgasm plays in heterosexual relationships. First off, we must understand that orgasms are achieved differently for both males and females.
Our views on women’s sexual pleasure especially female orgasm was a topic of misinformation for males to hold all the power in everything even in sexual intercourse so males can further establish their dominance and women to continue be subordinate. Then in 1968 Anne Koedt published “The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” where she challenged the foundation of these thoughts and how the world thinks of the female orgasm. Yet the mass media and social norms today still depict males as the dominant person in a relationship and female are subordinate to them.
I found chapters nine, ten, and eleven very engaging as there was many new topics I learned about that were new to me. It was very stunning to learn about statistics, the many disorders and the many options there are out there in regards to treatments. The four specific topics that stood out to me as valuable fascinating, and surprising was the topic on sexual dysfunctions in chapter nine, the topics on substances abuse and use statistics and treatments options of substance-related disorders in chapter ten, and the topic on cluster A personality disorders in chapter eleven.
Some believe that sex is a primal need of human physiology, while others conclude that sex is not something that contributes to the survival of an individual. Catholic nuns and priests, for example, chose to remain celibate from sexual or romantic relations in order to better give themselves to their relationship with God. Being celibate allows nuns and clergy to be free to follow whatever path God and their religious community takes them, whereas having a family would make this more difficult to accomplish. These types of communities chose chastity in pursuance of a stronger bond with God. Unlike the society of the World State in Brave New World, Catholic nuns and priests acknowledge that sex is a distraction to their lifestyle.
I first learned about the biological facts about sexual intercourse from grade school. I think in about grade six or seven the teachers taugth us about the body parts and every kid in the class was giggling. When I learned about this information is was werid to understand it at first, trying the best I could to understand the information. It was something new and strange because it had to be with our bodies and it was new information.
Historically, orgasms were used as a treatment for hysteria, which predominately occurred in women. This illness goes back as far as Hippocrates who described this as a “disease of the womb” (Gilman et al, 1993, pp. 6). The desexualisation of orgasms and the generalisation of no difference between clitoral and vaginal orgasm is heavily criticised today. Therefore, challenges to this as a treatment and studies related to this, have impacted sexual attitudes in a modern
