The sexuality and reproductive assessment helps describes sexual fulfillment, sexual perception, and sexual self –concepts. (Edelman & Mandel, 2011). This assessment is focused on the satisfaction of one’s sexual life, and the changes that take place throughout a lifespan. Another pattern is the coping-stress tolerance pattern. This focuses on the family’s adaption to internal and external pressures related to their health, environment, and social status and how they cope with these pressures in their day to day lives. Finally, the last pattern is the values and belief pattern. Values and beliefs vary in different cultures. Therefore, the focus of this pattern is one’s attitude regarding the meaning of life, spirituality, and how these attitudes affect the family related health problems. (Edelman & Mandle, 2011).

I feel that my lover and I were meant for each other. Strongly Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree The Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) (Hendrick, Hendrick, & Reich, 2006), a 23-item questionnaire, was designed to measure multi-dimensional attitudes towards sex. The scale is a modified version of the original Sexual Attitudes Scale. For the current study, the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale will be modified and shortened. The scale is made up of the following four subscales: Permissiveness, Birth Control, Communion, and Instrumentality. Some of the items refer to a specific sexual relationship, while others refer to general attitudes and beliefs about sex.

A survey showed on the average a male masturbates five times per week. Statitistics show that all males masturbate and four out of five females masturbate. Masturbation is a solution for sexual tension and self-stimulation. Some sex therapist believe tha tpeople who don not masturbate during adolexcence may be missing an important element in their sexual development. Also, sexuality is closey tied in with religion, morality, and culture. These three things are important aspects of a person’s life. So, in that case sexuality is a big deal, because it is hard enough to be a teenager without the worries about sex and fantasies.

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

Alfred C. Kinsey is regarded as the first major figure in the research of human sexuality, more specifically masturbation. Kinsey was groundbreaking in his research on sexuality and made it possible to talk about sex. In the early 2000s, masturbation has become more accepted for both males and females yet

In the movie, Kinsey, it was obvious that society had a lack of knowledge about sex and about people’s sexual activities. Alfred Kinsey changed the way that people thought about sex. He did an important and monumental thing informing people and answering people’s questions about sex. At one point in the movie it showed Kinsey reading a script from the bible where boys were supposed to control their nocturnal emissions, a natural and uncontrollable act of puberty, or they would be looked down upon by God. A quote from the movie “it is the lord’s work to help youth fight and resist temptation.” I agree with the movie in that the more a behavior is prohibited the more strongly it becomes desired.

In particular, the book reported that extramarital and premarital sex were more frequent than generally believed; that nearly all males, especially teenagers, masturbated and that masturbation did not cause mental illness; and that one in three men reported having at least one homosexual encounter.

I remain completely open-minded to heterosexual activities such as engaging in sexual activities before marriage, opposite sex arousal, for reproduction, and simply just for pleasure. This course contributed to the in-depth knowledge that I have gained toward heterosexual behaviors. Another area of the attitude questionnaire where my scores did not alter was within the masturbation/erotic subscale. Personally, engaging in masturbation as a sexual outlet whether in a relationship or not, is acceptable. Though this course I have learned additional reasons to why masturbation is a suitable technique within various situations, such as relieving stress, going to sleep, when ones’ partner is unavailable, and merely for pleasure. Now, after taking the Trueblood Attitude Questionnaire again at the end of the semester, I have realized that my attitudes towards my own and others’ sexual behavior have not necessarily changed, but they have broadened. I have learned to appreciate the different views towards sexual

To take the effects of consumption of porn in the context of a relationship to a level of depth of scientific research, complaints from porn users in their teens and twenties are reported complaining that they can’t maintain an erection (Is Internet Porn..). “ The 2001–2002 rates for older men 40–80 were about 13% in Europe. By 2011, ED rates in young Europeans, 18–40, ranged from 14%–28% and older men would be expected to have far higher ED rates than the negligible rates of younger men.” (Is Internet Porn…). Since the introduction of internet pornography,
