Sex Is While Some Take Sex

Since the dawn of man, sex has played a crucial role in society. Before they learned to read or write humans were engaging in sex and without it none of us would be here. In today’s society, sex has grown to become much more complicated. If I were to ask a group of people on the street what they believed sex was? I bet they would have a hard time answering. The question puzzling society today is how do we define sex? Can we define sex? These are questions raised in Tracy Steele’s article “Doing it: The Social Construction of S-E-X”. This article is about the current questions and issues that have been raised about sex within today’s society. In this paper I will summarize the key points of the article, while sharing my own thoughts and

In her article, Jane Gerhard, depicts the patterns, discussions, and debates among specialists, clinicians, and women's activists in twentieth century, surrounding women’s orgasms. The main 'Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm' was a 1968 oeuvre composed by Anne Koedt. It contended against the regular affirmation that woman got delight solely through intercourse, and investigated woman' sexuality. She talks about the convictions about the orgasm that existed in the primary portion of the twentieth century. As of now, a "partner marriage" where a hetero couple would love and look after each other, and have intercourse, was viewed as the correct and "ordinary" thing to do. It was settled upon, amongst clinicians and sexologists, that intercourse was

Focusing on just natural clarifications of human conduct, the Biological Theory trusts that physiological variables tremendously affect sexual conduct. Scholars regularly take a gander at anomalous hormonal and androgenic levels in the body and cerebrum to depict freak sexual practices as in rising hormones are identified with physical changes that advance sexual excitement, climax, discharge, and other sexual movement. "In spite of the fact that a survey of natural studies indicates clashing results about the relationship between

This paper will outline sexuality at different life stages, and as a sexual therapist I will coach an adolescent girl with a boyfriend who is pressuring her to have sex; an elderly couple with a wife exhibiting a renewed interest in sexual activity and a unwilling husband; and finally a handicapped male that has been paralyzed since he was four years old.

However, sometimes the individual or couple may encounter problems in one or several areas of these events. According to Sewell (2005), sexual dysfunctions are characterized as impairment or a disturbance in one or more of the basic stages of the sexual response cycle. The four phases associated that can determine normality or a state of functioning is desire, arousal, orgasm and resolution (Sewell, 2005). When these phases are not interrupted the sexual response cycle varies from person to person and “even from time to time within persons” with no single, normal, or correct sexual response (Sewell, 2005). The first phase of the sexual response cycle, desire encompasses the want or libido to engage in sexual behavior. This phase is followed by arousal which progresses at varied rates between men and women with men progressing quicker than women. Women need foreplay and intimacy to become physically aroused. In this phase, physical signs of this are vaginal lubrication in women and penile erection in men, with accelerated breathing in both. Through physical touch and intercourse, arousal progress toward orgasm. The succession from the last phase of arousal to orgasm varies between men and women, while both experience muscle contractions, men are able to achieve this quicker with

Although irrational, many of these drives originated during childhood. According to this theory a child’s first six years of life is divided into three stages. These three stages, characterized by a type of sexual pleasure, are as follows, oral stage, anal stage, and phallic stage. Oral stage is present during infancy. It holds the idea that the mouth is the erotic body part. The anal stage, present throughout toddlerhood, holds the idea that the anus is the erotic body part. The last stage, phallic stage, is present during the preschool years. This stage holds the idea that the child’s libido declares his or her genitalia as their erogenous zone. After these three stages there is latency, and then genital stage (Berger, 2008).

Strip and Tease: How about pushing him down on the bed and straddling him with some cool music in the background to bring the intimacy twist in the atmosphere? As if this is not enough, go ahead to remove each piece of your clothes one by one only letting him have "sneak previews" of your body. You can guess the effect you will have on him by the time you remove the last piece of cloth on your body, can't you?

I would first like to offer my gratitude to you for teaching a class of this nature, I knew that this would be an intriguing subject to learn, but I never imagined how much this course in itself would change me as a person and the way I now perceive sexuality. This class has not only taught me the basic concepts as sexuality, but has opened my eyes to the realities that our sex negative society had blinded me of my entire life, up until this point. My perspective of not only the sexual nature of humans but life in itself has been altered through the dramatic enlightenment that I have experiences throughout my time in this class. This course along with Human Sexuality and Women’s Health has sparked my continual interest in the study of sexuality as I find myself

Greta Christina outlines several situations where the aforementioned definition of sex falls short. First, Christina mentions gay and lesbian sex; acts that clearly are sex, but don’t fall within the penile vaginal insertion definition. Christina blames the shortcomings of the penile vaginal insertion definitions on the heteronormativity that dominates our society. Typically, sexual relationships between a man and a woman are considered the norm, while non-heterosexual relationships are swept under the rug.

I just really don’t understand what is wrong with me. I try to spice things up with my husband and we try new thing and I never get that ‘wow’ factor. I’ve talked to my doctor about it and she said that there is nothing physically wrong with me. I honestly have never had an orgasm and I don’t know how to tell my husband because I don’t want to hurt his feelings.

Act Out of Character: Couples usually develop a specific dynamic in the manner they communicate with each other. This dynamic will repeat itself again and again unless it is consciously stopped. If you can break the repetition and act contrary to type in an affirmative way, you will inject new life into your relationship.

The body is both a biological and a social being. The biology is trying to define what is “normal” not taking into account the social aspects of the body (Drew, 2003). In terms of FSD biology is trying to decide what is normal in terms of having sex; women achieving the sexual desire. On the other hand, the social aspect of sex is where women have too much work and they just do not want to have sex after a long day (Orgasm Inc.) There are women who are sexually abused and makes it difficult for them to have sex with men belonging to certain cultures and body types (Orgasm Inc.). The women who cannot experience orgasm via intercourse is said to have FSD according to the biological aspect sex (Drew, 2003). Pharmaceutical companies saw an opportunity here and medicalized something which has too many social aspects attached to

There has been much research directed towards unveiling the mysteries of the female orgasm. Statement number nine on “The Sexual Knowledge Survey” distributed by Nassau Community College states that, “there are two different types of biological orgasms in women: clitoral and vaginal”. Without any added research, I would automatically assume that to be correct because I believe that when a woman is stimulated in different areas in distinctive ways she will receive endless amounts of various types of responses leading to different types of orgasms. Faye Brennan submitted an article to “Women’s Health Magazine”, that not only supports my opinion but also describes in depth the differences between the various forms of an orgasm. According to Brennan,
