The case of Miguel presents various challenges that should be addressed immediately and assessed accurately in ways that are culturally valid, effective, and in accordance with diagnosis criteria listed in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5, 2013). Delamater & Hasday (2007) stated that various disciplines contribute to an understanding of human sexuality including biology, evolutionary psychology, psychology, anthropology, women’s studies, communications, family studies, and sociology. However, while the field of humanities addresses the range of behaviors like thoughts and feelings associated with human sexuality, it is the sciences that seek to create and assess principal explanatory …show more content…

In an era where human sexuality has been taboo for many centuries Alfred Kinsey pioneer sexuality research late 1940s and early 1950s, in the highly unsupportive social and political environment of the time. His approach and methodologies provided the foundation for most of the survey research about sexuality and are still cited today as a source of statistical information about sexual behavior (Hock, 2012). However, Kinsey’s research had information gap about how the human body functions anatomically when we engage in sexual behavior.
The movement from “a symbolic of blood to an analytics of sexuality” (148)—from a power concentrated in death to one concentrated in life—resulted in an increased concern with naming and documenting individual presentations of sexuality, in part because sex provided, and continues to provide, a way to access both the life of an individual and the life of a population.

Throughout history it is evident that human sexuality changes do to religious, governmental and societal influences. The perception of human sexuality has gone through many changes such as being very open and unlabeled activity; to being very “conservative” and a topic that shouldn’t be talked about in public or at all. In any case, human sexuality has always been a topic of interest because humans are sexual beings who want to understand the consciousness of themselves as male or female and see their personal response when encountered in erotic experiences with other individuals. Unlike many other species whose sexual force is strictly for reproduction, human’s sexual drive seems to be driven by many factors that intertwine with each other which leads to very different outcomes. Do to these obscure human emotions and personal gratification, sex is always shown every culture’s art, literature, social norms, and laws.
La sexualidad es un punto clave de la vida que incorpora nociones, creencias, hechos, comportamientos, fantasías, rituales, actitudes, valores y derechos con respecto a la identidad y rol de género, actos sexuales, orientación y aspectos de placer, intimidad y reproducción. Influenciada por factores biopsicosociales, económicos culturales religiosos y espirituales, la expresión de la sexualidad y deseo por tener intimidad es complejo.

Upon entering this course, my understanding of human sexuality was decent; I was aware of certain aspects of sexuality such as being straight, gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, etc. Nevertheless, I did not realize how expansive sexuality is; it never occurred to me that sexual health, prostitution, marriage, rape, sex trafficking, divorce, families, etc., all fell under the umbrella of human sexuality. Books and essays such as Renee Hill’s Walk Together and David Shneer’s “Out of School” showcased the multiple facets of human sexuality and how terms like queer are not directly related to homosexuality. While sexuality and homosexuality are linked, frequently, people mistake them as being synonymous; before entering this class, I was searching for a definition of sexuality, and often in the thesaurus section of dictionary websites homosexuality and or sexual orientation was considered a synonym of sexuality. Formerly, I too would have agreed they were the same, however, after taking this course, I concluded that homosexuality is just one topic in the broad discussion of sexuality. My understanding of sexuality now is that it
