4 Sexual Motivation Sexual motivation is nature’s clever way of making people procreate thus enabling our species’ survival. Kinsey was one of the first people to study people’s sexual practices. He found many interesting things in his studies of sexual behavior. See page 482 for an outline of his findings. Follow his link to a 2010 national sex study. Compare their findings to Kinsey’s. For more information there was a movie on Kinsey’s experiments from 2004 called “Kinsey”. It is a very interesting movie, but it is rated R because of its sexual content. If you want to watch it… be sure to ask your parents for permission!Kinsey

5 The Physiology of Sex Masters and Johnson (1966) describe human sexual response to consist of four phases: PhasePhysiological Response Excitement Genitals become engorged with blood. Vagina expands secretes lubricant. Penis enlarges. Plateau Excitement peaks such as breathing, pulse and blood pressure. Orgasm Contractions all over the body. Increase in breathing, pulse & blood pressure. Sexual release. Resolution Engorged genitals release blood. Male goes through refractory phase. Women resolve slower.

6 Sexual Problems Men suffer generally from two kinds of sexual problems; premature ejaculation and erectile disorder. Whereas women suffer from orgasmic disorders. These problems are not due to personality disorders and can be treated through behavior therapy and drugs like Viagra.

7 Sexual Disorders Sexual Arousal Disorders Orgasmic Disorders Sexual Pain Disorders Paraphilias: –Exhibionism –Fetishism –Fotteurism –Pedophilia –Masochism –Sadism –Transvestic Fetishism –Voyeurism

8 Hormones and Sexual Behavior Sex hormones effect the development of sexual characteristics and (especially in animals) activate sexual behavior. MaleTestes Testosterone Small amounts of estrogen) Female Ovaries Adrenals Estrogen Small amounts of testosterone)

9 Testosterone Levels of testosterone remain constant in males and thus difficult to manipulate and activate sexual behavior. Castration which reduces testosterone levels lowers sexual interest.

10 Estrogen Female animals “in heat” express peak levels of estrogen. Female receptivity can be heightened with estrogen injections. In humans, sex hormones may have milder affects than in animals. Women are more likely to have sex close to ovulation (increased testosterone), and men show increased testosterone levels when socializing with women.

11 The Psychology of Sex Hunger responds to a need. If we don’t eat we die. Sex in that sense is not a need, if we don’t have sex we don’t die.

12 External Stimuli It is common knowledge that men become sexually aroused when browsing through erotic material. However, women under controlled conditions experience similar heightened arousal.

13 Imagined Stimuli Imagination in our brain can influence sexual arousal and desire. People with spinal cord injury, with no genital sensation, can still feel sexual desire. Sotographs/The Gamma-Liaison Network/ Getty Images

14 Dreams Dreams, another form of imagination, is also associated with sexual arousal. However, genital arousal is associated with all kinds of dreams. Nearly all men and 40% women who dream with sexual imagery end up with orgasm (Wells, 1986).

15 Adolescent Sexuality When individuals mature into adolescents sexual behavior develops with it, however there are cultural differences. Sexual promiscuity in modern Western culture is much higher than in Arab and other Asian countries.

16 Contraception 1.Ignorance: Canadian teens girls have mistaken ideas about birth control methods. 2.Guilt-Related to Sexual Activity: Guilt reduces sexual activity but also reduces the use of contraceptives. 3.Minimal Communication: Many teenagers feel uncomfortable about discussing contraceptives. 4.Alcohol Use: Those who use alcohol prior to sex are less likely to use contraceptives. 5.Mass Media: Media’s portrayal of unsafe extramarital sex decreases the use of contraceptives.

17 Sexually Transmitted Infection 1.High Intelligence: Teens with higher intelligence are likely to delay sex. 2.Religiosity: Religious teens and adults more often reserve sex for marital commitment. 3.Father’s Presence: A father’s absence from home relates to higher teen sexual activity. 4.Learning Programs: Teens who volunteer and tutor learning programs on reducing teen pregnancy are less likely to engage in unsafe sex. Factors that reduce sexual activity in teens.

18 Sexual Orientation Sexual orientation refers to a person’s preference for emotional and sexual relationships with individuals of the same sex, other sex and/or either sex. HomosexualHeterosexual Bisexual

19 Sexual Orientation Statistics In Europe and America, based on many national surveys, homosexuality in men is 3-4% and in women is 1-2%. Being in minority, homosexuals often struggle with their sexual orientation.

20 Origins of Sexual Orientation Homosexuality is more likely to be based on biological factors like differing brain centers, genetics, parental hormone exposure, than environmental factors. Homosexual parents Cynthia Johnson/ Time magazine

21 Animal Homosexuality A number of animal species are devoted to same-sex partners, suggesting that homosexuality exists in the animal world. Wendell and Cass David Hecker/ AFP/ Getty Images

22 The Brain The size of the anterior hypothalamus is smaller (LeVay, 1991) and anterior commissure is larger (Allen & Gorski, 1992) in homosexual men. Anterior Hypothalamus Anterior Commissure

23 Genes & Sexual Orientation A number of reasons suggest that homosexuality may be due to genetic reasons. 1.Family: Homosexuality seems to run in families. 2.Twin studies: Homosexuality is more common in identical twins than fraternal twins. However mixed results. 3.Fruit flies: Genetic engineers can genetically manipulate females to act like males during courtship, and males that act like females.

24 Hormones & Sexual Orientation Prenatal hormones affect sexual orientation during critical periods of fetal development. 1.Animals: Testosterone exposure to fetus results in females (sheep) showing homosexual behavior. 2.Humans: Female hormone exposure to male or female fetus (human) results in attraction to males. Heterosexual male Homosexual Heterosexual female

25 Sexual Orientation: Biology

26 Changing Attitudes

27 Sex and Human Values “Promiscuous recreational sex poses certain psychological, social, health, and moral problems that must be faced realistically (Baumrind, 1982).” Andreanna Seymore/ Getty Images

28 The Need to Belong “[Man] is a social animal,” (Aristotle). Separation from others increases our need to belong. “Cast Away,” Tom Hanks, suffers from social starvation. 20 th Century Fox/ Dreamworks/ The Kobal Collection

29 Aiding Survival Social bonds boosted our ancestors survival rates. These bonds led to: 1.Protection from predators, especially for the young. 2.Procuring food. 3.Reproducing next offspring.

30 Belongingness 1.Wanting to Belong: The need to belong colors our thinking and emotions. 2.Social Acceptance: Belonging to others increases our self-esteem. Social segregation decreases it. 3.Maintaining Relationships: We resist breaking social bonds, even bad ones. 4.Ostracism: Social exclusion, leads to demoralization, depression and at times nasty behavior. 5.Fortifying Health: People who tend to have close friends are happier and healthier.
