	What is Sex Therapy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Sex therapists also assist those experiencing sexual difficulties as a result of physical disabilities or as the consequence of illness, surgery, aging or alcohol abuse.
		Sex therapy employs many of the same basic principles as the other therapeutic modalities, but is unique in that it is an approach developed specifically for the treatment of sexual problems.
		Sex therapy techniques, when applied by an unskilled counselor or therapist, might focus too readily on mechanical sexual behavior, to the exclusion of the total individual and the total relationship.

	Sex a necessary evolutionary commodity, new study shows (Nov 6, 2003)
		In a species of worm where males seem glaringly superfluous, a new study shows that sex may indeed be a beneficial strategy for survival.
		It had been suggested by scientists that sex is useful for generating novel or adaptive gene combinations or, possibly, for preventing the accumulation of harmful genetic mutations in populations of animals.
		This sex switch may be accomplished, Goodwin's team suggests, to increase the chances of survival, as males may be better able to withstand the changed chemical environment, and because they can forage for food at greater distances.

	Article Archive -- The Meaning of Sex
		Sex without meaning would require participants to float freely in sexual experience, rather than being snugly anchored in a cognitive framework, an explanation.
		This is half of a dialectic: many things can be sex because sex has whatever meaning we experience moment by moment; and sex has an infinite range of meanings because the scope of activities that can properly be called sexual is so vast.
		One reason that people have sex is to be periodically renewed, nourished in their experience of whatever kind of meaning they expect--whether that meaning involves intimacy, closeness, pleasure, creativity, bodily perfection, or the promise that life is OK.

	UH -Top Education Stories - Sex — 'the fuel for variation'
		Despite the seemingly obvious answer, sex, in fact, is not always necessary for procreation.
		In short, Azevedo argues that sex may have evolved as a means of concentrating harmful mutations into individual organisms, so they could be isolated and eventually eliminated by natural selection.
		The organisms most likely to reap the evolutionary benefits of sex are species with fast generation times and large populations, such as disease-causing micro-organisms.

	Work: More Sex
		Our starting point was to notice that almost all species use two kinds of sex chromosomes to determine sex (though there are some thought-provoking variations on that theme).
		This equilibrium is also very stable: even when disease, war, predation, or some other calamity changes the sex ratio dramatically, it bounces right back to 50:50 in the next generation of newborns.
		Suppose that each individual in a species has a pair of sex chromosomes, that each mating is between one male and one female, and that each parent contributes one sex chromosome to each offspring -- in other words, normal Mendelian genetics.

	SAN FRANCISCO / Sexual motives not necessary for sex harassment
		Sexual harassment doesn't have to be motivated by sex -- or even by sexism -- to be illegal, as long as the harasser abuses one sex more than another, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
		The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco reinstated lawsuits by a federal civil rights agency and three former employees of a teachers' union in Alaska and said harassment must be measured by its impact on the victims.
		A federal judge in Alaska dismissed the suit, saying Harvey's alleged conduct was not based on sex because there was no evidence that he used sexually demeaning language, made sexual overtures or acted out of bias against women.

		If they were just refusing sex, and refusing to work on it, I would be pretty near the end of my rope and ready to leave.
		Well, having the right sexual orientations are important in a marriage, because if one person is sexual, and the other person is an asexual, which is likely the case why one partner may not be that intersted in sex, then of course, there is going to be problems.
		Some people are fairly asexual by nature, (and that's fine if its a mutal decision between a married couple) Or one person is disabled and the couple come to agreement on how each will satisfy their needs.
