	Human Sexuality - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Human Sexuality, general term referring to various sexually related aspects of human life, including physical and psychological development, and behaviors, attitudes, and social customs associated with the individual's sense of gender, relationships, sexual activity, mate selection, and reproduction.
		Sexuality permeates many areas of human life and culture, thereby setting humans apart from other members of the animal kingdom, in which the objective of sexuality is more often confined to reproduction.
		Sexually active adolescents may wonder if their peers are abstinent, while sexually inactive adolescents may believe that their peers are sexually active.

	Sexual dysfunction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sexual dysfunction or sexual malfunction (see also sexual function) is difficulty during any stage of the sexual act (which includes desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution) that prevents the individual or couple from enjoying sexual activity.
		Sexual pain disorders affect women almost exclusively and are known as dyspareunia (painful intercourse) and vaginismus (an involuntary spasm of the muscles of the vaginal wall that interferes with intercourse).
		Images of sexuality presented by society and the media often present people with unrealistic ideals of sexual behavior, whether of the ideals of chastity and sexual fidelity presented by religion, or the ideal of sexual inexhaustibility and promiscuous availability presented by pornography.

	Sexual function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sexual function is a medical term used when assessing sexuality (mainly human sexuality) in clinical context.
		A model defining different aspects of sexual function relevant for the assessment of sexual dysfunction developed at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, comprises the following components [1]: First, relevant aspects of sexual function are defined on the basis of a modified version of Masters and Johnson’s pioneer work.
		Finally, in stage 4, the association between the distress due to waning sexual function and well-being and emotional isolation is assessed.

	Sexual/Gender Disorders
		A sexual dysfunction is a disorder marked by a persistent inability to function normally in some area of the human sexual response cycle.
		Sexual dysfunctions are distressing, and often lead to sexual frustrations, guilt, loss of self-esteem, and interpersonal problems.
		In the early 1900’s, clinicians believed that sexual dysfunction was caused by failure to move properly through the psychosexual stages of development and in turn used psychodynamic therapy to treat it.

		However, in most cases, if a psychiatrist believes that a sexual problem has primarily organic causes such as atherosclerosis, a chronic illness or infection, or a neurological problem, he or she will probably refer the patient to either a family physician or a specialist.
		Ever since the publication in 1970 of Human Sexual Inadequacy by Masters and Johnson, the focus of sex therapy has been on pragmatic techniques, that is, techniques “that work.” These are the kinds of practical strategies already described, such as manual stimulation of the clitoral area and the squeeze technique.
		If a sexual disorder resists pragmatic treatment, it may be necessary to probe deeper into the personality in order to discover ways to help the sexually troubled person.

	The Sexual History
		During times of sexual activity, women without serious sexual inhibitions rarely reject and almost always encourage direct and indirect sexual stimulation of themselves by an accepted partner and readily stimulate the accepted partner by many of the means at their disposal.
		Presumably this is related to acceptance of her sexual role, a sense of comfort and confidence in her partner and in the relationship, as well as some experience and learning on her pan.
		When a woman's regular sexual partner is impotent or ejaculates prematurely, she may react with anger and hostility or with exaggerated self-doubt about her own sexual identity and capacity as a satisfactory sexual partner.

	"Planetary Survival and Consciousness Evolution: Psychological Roots of Human Violence and Greed" by ...
		Considering the paramount role of violence and greed in human history, the possibility of transforming modern humanity into a species of individuals capable of peaceful coexistence with their fellow men and women regardless of race, color, and religious or political conviction—let alone with other species—certainly does not seem very plausible.
		Awareness of the inadequacy of the belief that aggression is an inborn fact of evolutionary nature led to the formulation of psychodynamic and psychosocial theories that consider a significant part of human aggression to be learned phenomena.
		Sexual experiences and behaviors are taking unprecedented forms, as manifested in sexual freedom of youngsters, promiscuity, open marriages, overtly sexual books, plays, and movies, gay liberation, sadomasochistic experimentation, and many others.

	The Matthew Effect: Evolutionary Implications by Leon Sloman and David Dunham
		In the hunter gatherer society, the period during which most of human evolution occurred, the effects of small genetic differences were amplified through competitive social interaction and these differences emerged as relative social status.
		Among humans, there are many different hierarchies that people belong to, each of which relates to a different field of endeavor.
		Through their combined effect, the cycle of success together with assortative mating, or sexual selection would have greatly accelerated the action of natural selection and the rate of human evolution.

	The Cambridge World History of Food - Water
		Water (or more properly "waters," for it is only in the last two centuries that it can really have been viewed as a singular substance) has been considered as food, a solvent for food, a pharmaceutical substance, a lethal substance, a characteristic physiological state, and a spiritual or quasi-spiritual entity.
		If all this variation of flavors is found in a small portion of the earthy, we should not be surprised to find in the great earth itself countless varieties of juices, through the veins of which the water runs, and becomes saturated with them before reaching the outlets of springs.
		It seems evident that humans have been subject to waterborne diseases throughout recorded history, and, thus, it is remarkable that there is little mention of epidemics (or even cases) of waterborne diseases prior to the nineteenth century (but see Ackerknecht 1965: 24, 41—2, 47, 134—6; Janssens 1983; Jannetta 1987: 148—9; Grmek 1989: 15—6, 346—50).

	The Role Of Self Focus As A Function Of Siginficance In Sexual Dysfunction
		Accordingly, the low sexual esteem that may ensue from the pressures of conforming to the dictates of society among women is an often overlooked phenomenon It is abundantly clear that physical attractiveness among women serves a puissant element in sexual relationships.
		For instance, during sexual interaction, the mode of attention is directed to body image, and perception levels of attractiveness, rather than focusing on the current sexual act.
		Sexual esteem was defined as “a positive regard for and confidence in the capacity to experience one’s sexuality in a satisfying and enjoyable way.” (Snell and Papini, 1989).

	"Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
		Shy individuals underestimate their own ability to cope with social situations and are pessimistic about social situations in general, failing to expect favorable responses even when they believe that they are able to perform appropriately and efficaciously.
		Stimuli such as moving mobiles and tape recordings of human voices trigger an easily arousable sympathetic nervous system that manifests itself in an increased heart rate, jerky and vigorous movements of arms and legs, excessive crying, and urgent signals of distress.
		Based on conditioning and ethological models of social phobia, the hypothesis has been advanced that a second-order general factor taps a common predispositional core that is a risk factor for the development of all the anxiety disorders, although other explanations are plausible.

		Kinds of sexual disorders include erectile disorder, premature ejaculation, orgasmic disorder (male and female), sexual arousal disorder (usually women) and painful intercourse: dyspareunia (men and women) and vaginismus (women) and disorders of desire.
		The term that describes the sexual disorder in which a woman has never had an orgasm in her life is “primary orgasmic disorder.” Cases of painful intercourse are almost always caused by organic/physical factors.
		In some cases for example, low sexual desire one of the factors could be a tendency to dichotomize sex with “good girls versus “bad girls.” Couples therapy focuses on the couple’s relationship and reducing antagonism and tensions between the partners.

	Treatments
		Therapists also seek to educate the patients suffering from a sexual dysfunction about the physiology and techniques of sexual activity, since many are uneducated or know very little about the subject.
		Today sex therapists generally treat couples that are not married and sexual dysfunctions that arise from psychological disorders such as depression.
		Sex therapists worry about the increase in the use of drugs for sexual dysfunction and believe that an approach that integrates biological, psychological and sociocultural causes is more helpful.

		It was seen as a unique discipline, with its own professionals, therapies, literature, and organizations, wherein sexual problems were to be largely removed from the overall context of relationships and treated behaviorally.
		Increasingly, practicing clinicians were discovering that, apart from whatever the "masters" were saying, an individual's psychological style and the nature of the interpersonal relationship had to be taken into account if therapy were to progress, or even to take place at all.
		Therefore each student is to do a fearless and appreciative inventory of his or her own sexual ways, attitudes and values.

		Sexual orientation: 17 exclusively heterosexual; 23 primarily heterosexual; 8 bisexual; 3 primarily homosexual; 2 exclusively homosexual; 1 blank (75% prim/excl heterosexual; 15% bisexual; 9% prim/excl homosexual).
		Indeed, the survey indicates that a majority of time is spent outside of the sexual realm, suggesting further that surrogate therapy employs a more holistic methodological approach than previous writings, both in the professional and lay presses, would seem to allow.

		In this volume they describe what goes wrong with the normal course of sexual activity in adults and detail treatment approaches in response to these forms of sexual disorder.
		Many psychologists, psychiatrists, and sex therapists approach the human response cycle by (1) grouping together the Excitement and Plateau phases of the human sexual response cycle into a unified "arousal" phase and (2) placing Kaplan's Desire phase at the beginning of the cycle as an "appetitive" phase preliminary to sexual activity itself.
		The groundbreaking study of male sexuality by Alfred Kinsey (on right) in 1948, while not representative of the general population, proposed that sexual orientation be rated on a 7-point scale from exclusively homosexual (rating of 0) to exclusively heterosexual (rating of 6).

		"It is obvious that the failure to learn more about human sexual activity is the outcome of the influence which the custom and the law have had upon scientists as individuals, and of the not immaterial restrictions which have been imposed upon scientific investigations in this field."
		"Sexual arousal may be described as a response to stimuli that have been ascribed sexual meaning."
		"Sexually aroused individuals who react with positive affect to the SEM and who hold more positive inclinations toward masturbation or have a regularly available partner with whom to engage in sexual interaction are more likely to engage in masturbation or a predominant interpersonal sexual behavior."
