Chapter 5 discusses about researchers who found two theoretical approaches that involve sexual orientation among men and women. Neurohormonal theory states that homosexuality is caused by atypical sex hormone levels in utero. Some studies implied that there are specific centers in the brain that connects to sexual orientation and behavior. The second theory is dealing with behavioral
During the late 19th century, the ideals of middle-class, respectable sexuality were in a state of flux. Published findings by renowned psychiatrists such as Richard von Krafft-Ebbing and Sigmund Freud helped to recreate and build upon sexual knowledge, establishing never before heard of terms for a variety of sexual behaviors. Often, therein lies an implicit bias when codifying topics of study. Therefore, due to the major shifts during the late 19th and early 20th century in how sexuality is classified scientifically and medically, psychiatry plays a primary role in creating concepts such as “normal” and “abnormal” sexuality.
Although forms of oral sex and anal sex are debated to be “true forms of sex” any sort of penetration is the breaking of abstinence. Therefore, if a teenager claims that he/she would not be breaking the promise of abstinence because they are not committing vaginal penetration, it is still considered impure and breaks the main goal of abstinence. Any sort of penetration can result in disease and although have a smaller chance of pregnancy, it can still occur. Sensual areas are extremely fragile and can easily obtain unwanted diseases. Although abstinence may delay the act of sex in teens, perfection is far from being acquired due to those that believe non-vaginal sex can save them from breaking their vow of abstinence (Dailard
As discussed previously, the first half (and a little beyond) of the 20th century spawned varying views of homosexuality (constitutional, developmental and genetic were the main ones). However, the worldviews resulting from such were congruent in the main. This is primarily because of the fact that these theories were aiming to explain the occurrence of a class of aberration/disorder. Consequently, claims, such as homosexuality being classified as a serious psychiatric and social problem (Bieber, 1969), were commonplace in academic literature and reverberated in the wider society.
Despite the large collection of literature of sexuality that has been accumulating, human asexuality has been largely ignored. Asexuality is controversially considered to be a sexual orientation and people who identify as asexual are people who typically do not experience sexual attraction (Asexuality Visibility and Education Network, 2013). Though research on sex and sexual orientations has been done for centuries, the first real suggestion that there might be people who fall outside of the heterosexual – homosexual orientation spectrum came from Kinsey and colleagues in 1948. These individuals were put into a separate category and were identified as having no erotic response to hetero- or homosexual stimuli, but otherwise they were
• First of all, even though some overlapping is possible, the Earth Humans basically could be categorized in three chief groups regarding their sexual orientation: heterosexuals, bisexuals, and homosexuals. Regarding the perception of own sexual identity, the picture is ‘bi-polar’, with blurred and ‘grayish’ deviations. Further, the most vocal representatives of ‘man-made’ science have no clue on the exact causes of sexual orientation, and by lacking the substantial evidence, keep on speculating in one moment favoring the advantages of the inclusion of genetic factors and in another moment considering the inclusion of social factors as a prevailing determinant. Once they get exhausted of debating, the third option gains in popularity, when they equalize both influences on the account of their overall similar intensity on the outcome within a complex interplay. Independent observer must point out the fact gross majority of unorthodox official scientists treat homosexuality as “normal and natural variation in human sexuality”.

Homosexuality is commonly defined as the sexual interest and romantic attraction in members of the same sex. In contrast, heterosexuality is sexual attraction to the opposite sex, while bisexuality is attraction to both sexes. Like heterosexuality and bisexuality, homosexuality is evident in sexual dreams and fantasies, sexual acts, romantic attraction, and falling in love.
With the new outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases and the fact that sexually active persons are becoming younger, sex has now become a daily topic. Sex scandals in the media and talk such as 'who slept with who at last night's party' are making these daily conversations apparent in high schools, middle schools, and in a lot of cases grade schools. As the saying goes 'monkey see monkey do' one can only assume that this concept will pertain to these easily influenced children. That is why it is imperative that another side of this issue is presented on a regular basis, a side that demonstrates safe sex as well as no sex. Sex is a basic instinct in all-living beings;
Sexual orientation is an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction to persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or to both sexes and more than one gender. There are four different categories of sexual orientation: asexual, bisexual, heterosexual and homosexual. Someone that identifies with an asexual orientation has a lack of sexual attraction to others. A bisexual is someone that has a sexual attraction to members of both sexes whereas a heterosexual is someone that has a sexual attraction to members of the opposite gender. A homosexual is someone that identifies with a sexual orientation where they are sexually attracted to members of their same sex. Sexual orientation is reported primarily
Good health is very important to a happy and productive life. Unprotected sexual activity can lead to illness and death. Unprotected sex can lead to contracting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). “HIV is spread mostly through four body fluids: semen, vaginal fluid, blood, and breast milk. HIV infection used to lead to AIDS; AIDS
Anderson and Cyranowski explain sexual self-view as, “a cognitive generalization about sexual aspects of the self. The view is
One section that this article by Mayer and McHugh discusses how difficult it is to really define human sexuality. Because there are many different parts to this wide array of a subject, so it makes it difficult to be able to give a definition that encompasses it all. Another subject that this article discusses is Genetic and Innate factors saying that there is no sure way of telling why someone would identify as a homosexual but that research in that area is still continuing.
144). Though Masters and Johnson’s first research publication Human Sexual Response (1966) was met with controversies and scientific criticism, their work revolutionised research on human sexuality and was positively praised by societies around the world (2013, pp. 75). Society’s ever-changing values and beliefs have proven to produce different and more open-minded beliefs on sexuality. Today, sexuality is highly regarded as an integral part for one’s development of self-hood (Scherrer, 2008). As human beings, we have a natural tendency to be sexual and to express our sexuality through attitudes, attraction, and desires. This is why sexuality has proved to be an important predictor in the determination of happiness and satisfaction in relationships (Impett, Muise & Breines, 2013; Laumann
It’s advisable for people to practice safe sex. This will lead to prevention of the exchange of body and virginal fluids and this increases chances of getting infections. Research has it that oral sex is much less risky than anal or vaginal sex (Balmer, 1993). Anal sex is the most risky type of sex for the spread of HIV
It is significant to note that the need to measure, describe, and have information on sexual orientation and sexual characteristics is a somewhat first-hand phenomenon in social history. The terms homosexual, heterosexual, and transgender did not occur up until later in the twentieth era with the beginning of new thinking. In olden periods, similar sex actions and idealistic affection for
