	Sexuality 2: Sexual orientation and sexual behavior
		Sexual orientation is the erotic or romantic attraction (or “preference”) for sharing sexual expression with members of the opposite sex (heterosexuality), one’s own sex (homosexuality), or both sexes (bisexuality).
		Sexual behaviors are actions (touching, kissing, and other stimulation of the body) related to the expression of one’s sexuality.
		For example, one person may practice sexual behaviors with another person for reasons other than sexual orientation (for example, for survival, money, or power over another individual), or a person may practice sexual behaviors that conform to societal norms, even if the practice is not consistent with that person’s sexual orientation.

	Child Sexual Abuse - (National Center for PTSD)
		These sexual behaviors are intended to erotically arouse the older person, generally without consideration for the reactions or choices of the child and without consideration for the effects of the behavior upon the child.
		Behaviors that are sexually abusive often involve bodily contact, such as in the case of sexual kissing, touching, fondling of genitals, and oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse.
		However, behaviors may be sexually abusive even if they don't involve contact, such as in the case of genital exposure ("flashing"), verbal pressure for sex, and sexual exploitation for purposes of prostitution or pornography.

		Individuals who were able to stop the offensive behavior by confronting their harassers or by reporting the behavior to someone in a position to help did this in widely varying ways, from the barely assertive to the unequivocally forceful.
		Sexual joking or workplace conversations about sex are thought to be inappropriate by 54 percent of nonsupervisory respondents to our survey and a slightly larger number of supervisors (58 percent).

	Sexual health: How to achieve a fulfilling sexual relationship - MayoClinic.com
		As long as a sexual fantasy or behavior doesn't lead to emotional or physical discomfort, conflict in the relationship, or problems in other aspects of their lives, it shouldn't be a source of concern.
		When a partner's preference for a specific sexual behavior is a source of conflict, the partners need to use negotiation skills to arrive at a pattern of behavior that is acceptable to both.
		For a person to become sexually aroused and to function normally, he or she needs to have a feeling of self-confidence, freedom from anxiety, the presence of arousing mental and physical stimulation, and the ability to focus attention on sexually arousing thoughts or behavior.

		However, normative (or expected) sexual behaviors are usually not overtly sexual, are more exploratory and playful in nature, do not show a preoccupation with sexual interactions, and are not hostile, aggressive, or hurtful to self or others.
		That is, sexual behaviors in children present a special concern when they appear as prominent features in a child's life, or when sexual play or behaviors are not welcomed by other children involved in the play.
		Parents who have questions about sexual behavior in children should take the time to learn about sexual development in their child, and be aware of the possibility of sexual difficulties.

	Sexual Behaviors leading to mating successes and failures in adult male and female Drosophila Melanogaster
		The tracking behavior is apparently guided visually, because defects in vision tend to misorient in relation to the female, resulting in the termination of tracking, and consequently the whole sequence of courtship.(Yamamoto D 1999) Vision is extremely important for mating preferences in D. melanogaster.
		This portion of the experiment indicates that rejection behavior is triggered exclusively by accessory gland secretions and that its persistence depends on the presence of sperm, which in turn may stabilize the activity of accessory gland fluid (seminal fluid).
		Behaviors controlling the propensity to mate or remate can have large effects on fitness, because the decision to mate during a given period can have direct effects on current and future reproduction and hence fitness (Sgro C 2000).

	ReCAPP: Journal Summary (July/Aug 2001): Sexual Behaviors and Socioeconomic Status
		The relationship between race/ethnicity and sexual behavior was only slightly affected by adjustment for socioeconomic factors such as parental education, family income, and family structure.
		The overall findings suggest that differences in sexual behavior by race/ethnicity cannot be attributed to the effect of a family's socioeconomic status.
		Sexual behavior differences by SES and race/ethnicity were not large enough to account for differences by race/ethnicity in national STI and birth rates.

	SSSS : About Compulsive Sexual Behavior
		Sexual scientists have used various terms to describe this phenomenon: hypersexuality, erotomania, nymphomania, satyriasis, and most recently sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior.
		The pathologizing of sexual behavior may be driven by anti-sexual attitudes and a failure to recognize the wide-range of normal human sexual expression.
		However, there is no scientific merit to viewing these behaviors as disorders, compulsive or "deviant." When someone is distressed about these behaviors, they are most likely in conflict with their own or someone else's value system rather than this being a function of compulsion.

	Verbal and Nonverbal Consent - Burrow
		This policy states that consent for sexual behavior must be (a) verbal, (b) mutual, and (c) reiterated for every new level of sexual behavior.

		However, a new survey of the sexual behaviors of more than 1,000 children, ages 2 to 12, may help parents and pediatricians recognize many of these activities as part of normal sexual development.
		Five sexual behaviors were found to be relatively common among toddlers of both genders, being reported by at least 20% of all mothers surveyed.
		Other common behaviors included exhibitionism in front of adults (15.4% in toddlers, declining sharply with advancing age), manual masturbation (16.7% in toddlers, declining to 3.7% by age 10 to 12), and rubbing, kissing or hugging adults and other children (between 7% to 15%, again, declining with age).

	NIH Guide: DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH ON SEXUAL BEHAVIORS RELATED TO HIV
		Specific sexual behaviors that prevent infection - such as avoiding sexual intercourse with infected individuals and using condoms - are influenced both by personal factors such as attitudes, knowledge, and abilities and by more distal factors characterizing the contexts in which individuals' behaviors are carried out.
		Other sexually transmitted diseases and other sequelae of sexual behavior as well as relevant aspects of sexual behavior itself also may be used as endpoints of proposed research as long as the relationship of the specific research question to HIV prevention is adequately justified.
		They can be used to examine processes that influence sexual behavior regardless of HIV risk and to examine how, whether and when heightened risk of, or the perception of heightened risk of HIV affects those processes.

	Adolescent Virginity Pledges and Risky Sexual Behaviors
		The authors suggested that this risky sexual behavior, particularly anal sex, by virginity pledgers may partially account for the apparent paradox that pledgers, allegedly, do not have lower rates of infection by sexually transmitted diseases even though they delay sexual activity and have fewer sex partners.
		Sexually active pledgers (those who have engaged in any vaginal, oral or anal sex) are also less likely to engage in these risk behaviors when compared to sexually active non-pledgers.
		The sexual activity rates for sexually active persons (those who have engaged in vaginal, oral or anal sex) presented in the text is based on 11,128 observations.
