1
Sex Chromosomes Gonads (reproduction) Hormones
External genitalia (penis, vagina) Internal organs (ovaries, seminal vesicle) Secondary sex characteristics (breasts, hair)
3
Sexual Organ Development
Undifferentiated gonads until week 6 Mullerian system Turns into fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina if no anti-Mullerian hormone present Wolffian system Turns into vas deferens, seminal vesicles if androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) present
5
Sex Development Hormones present in the womb determine:
Internal reproductive organs (ovaries or testes) External genitalia (vagina or penis) Brain organization
6
Intersexual Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: XX w/androgens, ambiguous gen. Testosterone biosynthetic defects: XY no d.test., ext. XX genitalia Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome: XY w/o anti-Mull = both int Turner’s syndrome: XO = no testes or ovaries, XX int & ext Androgen insensitivity syndrome: XY w/int. testes, ext. XX gen. Gonadal dysgenesis: XY w/o androgens= XY ducts, XX genitalia Micropenis: XY w/o 2nd androgen stage; testos at puberty can fix Sry gene translocation: XX males, sry gene moves to X chromo. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome: XY w/ambiguous genitalia 5-Alpha reductase deficiency: XY testos. dis.=XY body, XX gen Klinefelter syndrome: XXY = small penis/testes, low andro, breasts Timing defect: XY w/ambiguous external genitalia
7
Sex & Gender Differences
Brain development trajectory Play patterns Goals, preferences
8
Theories of Gender Identity
Social Learning Theory Imitation + shaping Gender Schema Theory rules
9
Studying Sexuality Kinsey Report Janus Report Sexual Deviance
Masturbation, premarital sex, homosexuality, sex drive in males/females over time Janus Report Sexual Deviance Paraphilia (transvestite, fetish, exhibition)
10
Sexual Attraction Automatic NS reaction Sexual orientation and:
Brain: hypothalamus, rams Genetics: 52% Id twins, 22% fraternal, 11% adopted; region of x chromosome related to increased sexuality focused on males Womb hormones: stress, rats mounting, multiple boys
11
Normal Sexual Response
Phase One: Excitement Phase Two: Plateau Phase Three: Orgasm Phase Four: Resolution Refractory period
12
Sexual Dysfunctions Sexual Desire Disorders Sexual Arousal Disorders
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder Sexual aversion disorder Sexual Arousal Disorders Female sexual arousal disorder Male erectile disorder
13
Sexual Dysfunctions Orgasmic Disorders Sexual Pain Disorders
Male orgasmic disorder Female orgasmic disorder Premature ejaculation Sexual Pain Disorders Vaginismus Dyspareunia
14
Causes of Sexual Dysfunctions
Organic Illness (diabetes, cancer, strokes), drug side effects, surgery, physical disability, drug use (cocaine, alcohol, barbiturates, nicotine) Sociocultural Negative attitudes towards sex Psychological Stress/anxiety, low self-esteem, poor body image, relationship problems, previous traumatic events Combination
16
Sexual Dysfunctions Treatment
Medication, psychotherapy, hormone therapy, stress reduction, behavioral therapy, sensate focus
