•26% percent of gay men and 37% of bisexual men compared to 29% of heterosexual men experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime

When I think about diversity in the world I too think about diversity when it comes to sexual orientation. Sometimes I think -- How is sexual identity developed? What influences who we become sexually? Why is there such diversity in sexual orientation? To be quite frank, there are no correct or incorrect answers to these questions. The idea of sexual orientation and behavior is a very complex one. What was true in the past is certainly different than the norm today. When I researched the various psychological theories and methodologies of measuring one’s sexuality, naturally I came across the work of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the creator of the Kinsey scale.

Relatively recent inclusion of sexual orientation measures in a few federal and state health surveillance surveys is enabling the production of population-based information about sexual minority health and its status relative to that of the heterosexual majority.

For a study meant to compare straight and non-straight there was a disproportionate amount of straight people in the survey. While that provides a lot of knowledge about straight people, they were not the group of interest in this survey. In order to get this information, a convenience or internet study might have been better as more lesbians, gays, and bisexuals could have access to the study.

When American citizens hear the word “gay,” what is the first connection that pops into their mind? Does it mean happiness, love, or does it have a negative connotation? Throughout the years, the world epidemic on gay marriage has always been a controversy in the press. In the 1600s, if a gay man or woman practiced sodomy, they were put to death (ProQuest Staff “LGBT”). From the 1600s to the current day, gay rights are still a critical political debate in today’s society that needs a solution. For one to understand at this problem, he or she needs to analyze the causes and effect of this solution.

In this article, Ethnic, Gender, and Acculturation Influences on Sexual Behaviors, the researchers hypothesize that “...general differences in normative sexual practices in healthy Euro-Americans, Asians, and Hispanic populations, using measures of acculturation to analyze the relative effects of heritage and mainstream cultures within each group.” (Meston and Ahrold, 2008) The study shows “A total of 1,419 undergraduates (67% Euro-American, 17% Hispanic, 16% Asian; 33% men, 67% women).” (Meston and Ahrold, 2008) The subjects in this study completed questionnaires that evaluated sexual experience and casual sexual behaviors. In this study, Ethnic, Gender, and Acculturation Influences on Sexual Behaviors, the researchers find that Asian women

Asexuality has been an elusive and intriguing subject in American society. Dr. Alfred Kinsey published reports on human sexuality where “category X” was mentioned (Asexual History, 2015). This category was used to describe individuals with a lack of sexual relationships and reactions (Asexual History 2015). In 1979, Michael Storms came up with a model of erotic orientation and this model included asexuality (Asexual History, 2015). Paula Nurius published a study observing mental health and orientation and found that asexual individuals had both a lower desire and frequency for sexual activity than compared to heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual individuals (Asexual History, 2015).

A total of 1,420 individuals were put into this research to find a specific answer related bad to their objectives of the study. The study had received ethical consent from LA Trobe University Human Ethics Committee. This survey was used to help the researchers determine where same-sex relationships stand. The study was done by Australians were data was drawn from Private Lives. The methods that were used were a national survey that was giving to originally a total of 3,835 lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender from the age of 16-89 which was informed through social media and emails. After some issues, exclusions were leaving a total of 1,420 participants in the survey. Demographics, as well as relationship formalizations, were two main components of the

these participants were selected based on (a) a primary complaint of hypersexual behavior reported during intake and (b) willingness to participate in research, as presented in consent provided at the outset of the treatment process and several races were involved throughout the study. The study provided on the next slide is cross-sectional and corresponds on correlational Data and does not touch on causality.

In the United States, most of the research that has been conducted on sexual minorities has been led using convenience sampling. Even though huge contributions have been made to research through these studies, information that has been gathered using nonprobability tests have limited access for health planning for the general public, as a result of concerns in regards to determination predisposition and outer legitimacy.

In the present study, the experiment has been done at Northern Illinois University. The study had XXX students. These students could be from any year of school: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, graduate. This study ranged from the ages of XXX – XXX years. We had females, males, and people who identified as other who had participated in the current study. In the current study we had XX males participate, XX females participate, and XX other participate. Pertaining to the current study, there was no limitation to what race was asked to complete the task, the status of a participant’s sexual orientation, if they were married, in a relationship, or single, or what major they may be studying at the time. While there was no

Marriage is now commonly defined as a ‘legally or formally recognized union of two partners in a personal relationship’. However, this is commonly associated in society as a union from which children are conceived. Same sex marriage is often then seen as unnatural as children cannot be conceived natural and is this deemed unnatural and is ‘contrary to the ordinary course of nature’. I disagree with this argument because homosexual people don’t choose to be gay and therefore I don’t think that his is unnatural. Whilst same sex couples can’t have children naturally within marriage, I don’t think that the purpose of marriage is to have children and therefore I see no reason why same sex marriage isn’t natural.
