	Human Sexuality - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Sexually active adolescents may wonder if their peers are abstinent, while sexually inactive adolescents may believe that their peers are sexually active.
		Understanding the processes and underlying mechanisms of sexual arousal and orgasm is important to help people become more familiar with their bodies and their sexual responses and to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunctions.
		Sexually transmitted diseases should be diagnosed and treated by qualified medical practitioners, and all sexual partners must be treated in order to avoid reinfection.

	Human Sexuality - 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.
		Secondary sexual characteristics are attributes other than the sex organs that generally distinguish one sex from the other but are not essential to reproduction, such as the larger breasts characteristic of women and the facial hair and deeper voices characteristic of men.

	JustEves.com - Female Internal Sexual Anatomy
		The vagina receives the penis during sexual intercourse, and is the birth canal through which the baby passes during labor.
		After intercourse, the contraction of the vagina will allow the cervix to rest inside the fornix, which in its relaxed state is a bowl-shaped fitting perfect for the pooling of semen.
		At either side of the vaginal opening are the Bartholin's glands, which produce small amounts of lubricating fluid, apparently to keep the inner labia moist during periods of sexual excitement.

	An Explanation of the Circles of Sexuality
		Sexual identity is a person's understanding of who she/he is sexually, including the sense of being male or of being female.
		Sexual orientation—Whether a person's primary attraction is to people of the other gender (heterosexuality) or to the same gender (homosexuality) or to both genders (bisexuality) defines his/her sexual orientation.
		Sexual intercourse is a behavior that may produce sexual pleasure that often culminates in orgasm in females and in males.

	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.

		It is considered a necessary rite of passage to womanhood, an assurance of cleanliness or improved marriage prospects, a means of preventing promiscuity and excessive clitoral growth, an enhancement of male sexuality, or a facilitation of childbirth by widening of the birth canal.

		Disclosure: Sexual abuse can become known to others either accidentally, when a symptom from the maltreatment or a third party witnessing the abuse leads to an evaluation, or it can be purposeful, as when the child reveals the abuse that is taking place and seeks help.
		The diagnosis of PTSD in the context of sexual abuse requires the occurrence of maltreatment and (1) frequent reexperiences of the event via intrusive thoughts and/or nightmares; (2) avoidance behavior and a sense of numbness toward common events; and (3) increased arousal symptoms, such as jumpiness, sleep disturbance, and/or poor concentration.
		When examining the child who is suspected of being sexually abused, place particular emphasis on the genital and anal examination; however, children should experience this more thorough inspection of their anogenital anatomy only in the context of a complete examination.

		But there were equally outraged responses from women who had always had sexual problems: "It is a point of great stress for women when they are repeatedly told their problem is in their relationship, when they know it is not," wrote a middle-aged woman, "who has experienced FSD all my adult life".
		She argues that it is inappropriate to include female sexual desire problems in the list of "dysfunctions" when they are so clearly based in the psyche and so often stem from relationship issues.
		"Sexual disinclination is not a disease," she says, expressing her concern that drug companies are trying to create a market for women.

		During heterosexual activity, the mucosal surfaces of the glans penis and foreskin move back and forth across the mucosal surfaces of the labia and vagina, providing nontraumatic sexual stimulation of both male and female.
		This mucous-membrane-to-mucous-membrane contact provides the natural lubrication necessary for sexual relations and prevents both the dryness responsible for painful intercourse and the chafing and abrasions which allow entry of sexually transmitted diseases, both viral and bacterial.

		Providing education -- Education about human anatomy, sexual function and the normal changes associated with aging, as well as sexual behaviors and responses, may help a woman overcome her anxieties about sexual function and performance.
		With the decrease in the female hormone estrogen that is related to aging and menopause, many women experience some changes in sexual function as they age, including poor vaginal lubrication and decreased genital sensation.
		Further, research suggests that low levels of the male hormone testosterone also contribute to a decline in sexual arousal, genital sensation, and orgasm.

	Anatomy of the Penis and Mechanics of Intercourse
		It must be emphasized that emotional excitement is an extremely important component of sexual enjoyment, and intensifies the man's perception of any physical sensations from his penis.
		We believe that stimulation of the glans is most significant in the later stages of sexual intercourse, when penetration is deepest and emotions are running at their highest.
		Also, since more of the loose skin of the penis remains inside the vagina, the woman's natural lubrication is not drawn out to evaporate to a great extent, which makes sex easier without using artificial lubricants.

		Among 73 sexually active women, 30 had one or both symptoms of dyspareunia and vaginal dryness, and 43 had neither symptom.
		Premenopausal women with dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, or both had significantly higher global sexual function scores, reflecting worse sexual function, when compared with premenopausal women without these symptoms (0.61 +/- 0.16 versus 0.46 +/- 0.15, respectively; P =.02); however, there was no significant difference in postmenopausal women (0.60 +/- 0.12 versus 0.61 +/- 0.12).
