Julie and her husband Julian engage in foreplay during sex, including oral sex. Julie is religious and discusses this with a religious friend, who is scandalized and tells her to stop as it is against morality. Julie worries and stops engaging in foreplay with Julian, angering him due to the sudden change. The document discusses whether foreplay is ethical or unethical, if the friend's view was correct, and how to approach foreplay ethically.
The document provides information about human sexuality and reproductive health. It defines key terms like gender identity, sexual health, and biological sex. It describes the male and female reproductive systems and lists objectives like understanding sexual identity, terminology, and sexually transmitted diseases. The document also discusses factors influencing human sexuality, types of sexual orientation like homosexuality and heterosexuality, and sexually transmitted diseases and their prevention.
Cultural perspectives influence views on sexuality and acceptable sexual behaviors. Western cultures are influenced by Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian traditions, which view sexuality differently. While Greco-Roman cultures were more sexually permissive, Christianity emphasized anti-sexuality. Views of sexuality are also shaped by factors like religion, education, media portrayal of sexuality, and societal openness regarding topics like sexual orientation and masturbation. Different cultures interpret and express sexuality in varying ways based on their norms and values.

INTRODUCTION
Let us begin our exploration of the many dimensions of human sexuality by examining how they affect the life of one person: Lisa, an 18-year-old college freshman, involved in her first serious—and sexual—relationship. After several months of dating, Lisa experiences the scare of her life: Her period is late. After a few days she purchases a home-pregnancy kit. As she waits until the morning to take the test, she begins to think about the role of sexuality in her life.
Like most people who grow up in the United States today, Lisa received basic sexuality education in public school. But that brief overview—which Lisa and her friends giggled through—touched only on the physical aspects of reproduction. Nothing prepared her for the emotions she felt during her current relationship, or how her social and cultural upbringing would affect her sexual behavior.
Lisa is a Korean American, a member of a family who respect heritage and tradition. Her parents, a university professor and a homemaker, were born in Korea and had an arranged marriage. The traditional Korean view of sexuality is conservative, and virginity is highly prized for marriage. Although Lisa holds on to many traditional views, she also struggles with the permissive attitude toward sexuality that prevails in the U.S. culture today—an attitude that her boyfriend shares (Brennan, 1999).
An unexpected pregnancy for Lisa would be a major tragedy in her family. Pregnancy outside marriage would shame not only the individual (and make her an “unperson”) but also the entire family. Her family could choose to exile her.
Korean Americans tend not to tolerate secrecy by children and exert strict parental control. The Korean culture discourages open discussion of feelings and seeking out of psychological counseling. Thus Lisa is in a crisis because she feels she cannot tell her parents, but she also cannot tell anyone else (who may in turn tell her parents). In fact, Lisa has yet to tell her boy ...
The document is from a PowerPoint presentation on human sexuality that covers several topics:
- It defines human sexuality and discusses how it is studied from various academic perspectives.
- It explores how values and critical thinking influence attitudes toward sexuality.
- It presents various historical, biological, evolutionary, sociological, and psychological perspectives on understanding human sexuality.
- It discusses perspectives from feminism, queer theory, and how multiple perspectives provide a richer understanding of human sexuality.

Human sexual behavior is based on physiology and psychology. Physiological basis, that is, the regulation and control of sex hormones in receptors, is also affected by many other factors such as physical conditions and drugs. On the other hand, human sexual behavior is influenced and controlled by psychological, social and cultural factors. In a certain social and historical context, human sexual behavior usually conforms to the social concept of sex at that time. Throughout history, society's attitude towards sex is like a continuum. One end of the spectrum is based on the attitude of sexual imprisonment and strict control of sexual behavior, while the other end is based on the attitude of sexual indulgence, sexual liberation and advocating complete sexual freedom. These two extreme attitudes are harmful to people's physical and mental health and the healthy development of society. Sexual psychology is to study the influence of the development of human sexual behavior and sexual civilization on modern human sexual behavior from the psychological point of view, theory and method, and to study human sexual physiological development, sexual psychological development, gender role socialization process, marriage, family and sexual health, etc. Sexual psychology refers to the psychological state and process related to sexual characteristics, sexual desire and sexual behavior on the basis of sexual physiology. It also includes the psychological state of communication with the opposite sex, marriage and love. Sexual physiology is the biological basis of the development of sexual psychology. The obstacles or defects in the development of sexual physiology will make the development of sexual psychology deviate. Sexual mental health is an important part of human health that can not be ignored, and it is getting more and more attention.
The difference between sexual orientation and gender identity is that sexual orientation is a kind of sexual preference that has nothing to do with gender. It refers to the tendency of physical and psychological impulses caused by what kind of people you are attracted to, who you like to have intimate sex with and which type of people. For example, they prefer men, women, fat, thin, tall or short and so on. Under this big concept, including what we usually call homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality and so on. It is generally believed that sexual orientation is not a subjective and deliberate choice. The reasons may include many factors, including heredity, psychology and environment. Gender identity is the subjective feeling of self psychology: "I am a man, or a.
Sexual expression involves behaviors and feelings that reveal our sexual selves. It is a complex process that varies across cultures. Research relies on self-reports, which can be problematic. Two universal characteristics of attractiveness are youthfulness and health, though ideals differ depending on factors like gender, ethnicity, and culture. Sexual scripts organize our expressions through cultural, intrapersonal, and interpersonal components. Sexual fantasies, dreams, and masturbation are private expressions that can fulfill various functions.

The document discusses various topics related to human sexuality including reasons for engaging in sexual behaviors, factors that influence sexuality, solitary and partnered sexual activities, perspectives on masturbation, sexual behaviors across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and trends in sexual activity among teens and adults. Key findings include that humans have multiple motives for sex beyond reproduction, masturbation is the most common sexual behavior, and the average duration of sexual intercourse is approximately 7 minutes.
The document discusses various aspects of normal human sexuality. It describes sexuality as being determined by anatomy, physiology, culture, relationships and life experiences. Normal sexuality involves stimulation of sex organs and brings pleasure without inappropriate guilt or anxiety. Sexuality has biological, psychological, social and cultural dimensions that are shaped by factors like learning, perceptions and social norms. The document also outlines some health benefits of sex beyond reproduction and discusses concepts like sexual identity, gender identity and orientation.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on sexuality and sex therapy. It includes:
- Definitions of key terms related to sexuality like sexuality, gender roles, and gender identity.
- Descriptions of the phases of the human sexual response cycle according to Masters and Johnson and Kaplan.
- Discussions of common sexual dysfunctions like lack of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.
- Overviews of paraphilias and sexual deviations.
- Brief histories of perspectives on sexuality from Freud, Ellis, Kinsey, and Masters and Johnson.
- Descriptions of common techniques in sex therapy like history taking, sensate focus exercises, and the PL
This document discusses how sexuality is portrayed in popular media and how it influences cultural norms. It notes that different cultures and time periods have varying definitions of appropriate sexual behaviors. While media often focuses on certain types of content for entertainment purposes, it rarely addresses risks or responsibilities. The document advocates understanding diversity in human sexuality and that what is considered "normal" is shaped by cultural context rather than being inherently defined.
The document discusses the rationale for teaching a course on human sexuality. It notes that sex is prevalent in media and politics but parents are not a primary source of information for most teenagers. The course aims to provide accurate information to dispel myths, examine societal influences, and promote sexual literacy and healthy relationships. A quiz is included to assess common misconceptions about sexuality. The document also discusses how different cultures and historical periods shaped views of sexuality and morality over time.
The document provides a guide to thinking about sexuality by answering common questions about queer basics. It begins by defining key terms - gender is a social construct distinct from biological sex, and sexuality represents one's desires. It discusses that homosexuality is a natural part of human sexuality, not a choice or mental illness, and cannot be cured. It rejects the myths that homosexuality spreads disease or links to illegal acts. The document argues that notions of "natural", "normal", and culture are socially constructed and have changed over time to become more inclusive of diversity in sexuality. It notes that homosexuality was decriminalized in India in 2009 but still faces challenges. The document discusses that queer people can fulfill family roles and that various relationships models exist among both
Heterosexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction between persons of opposite sex or gender. It involves enduring patterns of attraction, behaviors expressing attraction, and a sense of identity within a community of others who share these attractions. Biologically, heterosexuality may relate to prenatal hormone exposure and levels of androgen receptors. Psychologically, heterosexuality describes patterns of emotional, romantic and sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Historically and socially, heterosexuality is often linked to nuclear family formation and religious traditions view marriage as reserved for heterosexual unions.
This document discusses homosexuality from several perspectives. It begins by defining homosexuality and exploring biological, sociocultural, and psychological explanations. It then outlines public opinion on related issues and references biblical passages used to argue both for and against homosexuality. The document also discusses perspectives on homosexuality in the Philippines and concludes by acknowledging that while some acts should be condemned, Jesus loves all people regardless of sexual orientation.
This document discusses homosexuality from several perspectives. It defines homosexuality and explores biological, sociocultural, and psychological explanations. It also examines public opinion on homosexuality and same-sex marriage. The Bible is referenced regarding passages related to homosexuality. Different views from pastors are presented. The conclusion acknowledges that while being homosexual is not inherently a sin, immoral acts should be condemned, and one must recognize God's law and Christian living.

This document discusses the differences between sex and gender. Sex refers to biological characteristics as male or female, while gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, and identities that are considered appropriate for men and women in a society. It examines how gender roles have historically oppressed women through religious doctrines, traditions, and economic factors that have denied women equal opportunities and paid them less than men. While myths have claimed women's abilities are impaired by their reproductive cycles or hormones, research shows these are not controlling factors and both sexes experience daily hormone fluctuations.

At the end of this chapter you will be able to do the following.
Differentiate between sex and gender.
Define gender roles, gender role socialization, and gender role identify.
Compare females’ life experiences to that of males.’
Examine the Men’s Movement.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER?
By far, sex and gender have been two of the most
socially significant factors in the history of the
world and the United States. Sex is one’s
biological classification as male or female, which is
biologically determined at the moment the sperm
fertilizes the egg. Sex can be precisely defined at
the genetic level with XX being female and XY
being male. The main difference between sexes is
the reproductive body parts assigned to each
(including their functions and corresponding
hormones).
Males and females have much more in common than they have differences. Every major
system of the human body functions in very similar ways to the point that health
guidelines, disease prevention and maintenance, and even organ transplants are very
similar and guided under a large umbrella of shared guidelines. True, there are medical
specialists in treating men and women, but again the similarities outweigh the differences.
Today you probably ate breakfast, took a shower (hopefully), walked in the sunlight,
sweated, slept, used the bathroom, was exposed to germs and pathogens, grew more hair
and finger nails, exerted your muscles to the point that they became stronger, and felt and
managed stress. So did every man and woman you know and in very similar ways.
So, why the big debate of the battle of the sexes? Perhaps it’s because of the impact of
gender, the cultural definition of what it means to be a man or a woman. In other words,
gender is socialized behaviors prescribed for society’s members based on their sex.
Therefore, sex=male, female and gender=masculine, feminine. Gender is culturally-based
and varies in a thousand subtle ways across the many diverse cultures of the world.
Gender has been shaped by political, religious, philosophical, linguistic, traditional, and
other cultural forces for many years. To this day, in most countries of the world women
and girls are still oppressed and denied access to opportunities more often than men and
boys. This can be seen through many diverse historical documents. When reading these
documents, the most common theme of how women were historically oppressed in the
world’s societies is the omission of women as being legally, biologically, economically, and
2 | S e x a n d G e n d e r
even spiritually on par with men. The second most common theme is the assumption that
women were somehow broken versions of men or lesser beings than men.1
Biology has disproven the belief that women are broken versions of men. In fact, the 23rd
chromosome looks like XX in females and XY in.
This document discusses sex, gender, and sexuality. It defines sex as the biological dimensions assigned at birth based on anatomy and chromosomes, while gender is the social and cultural expectations and identities associated with one's sex. It notes that while sex is usually binary, some people are intersex or transgender. Sexual orientation pertains to one's emotional and sexual attractions. The document then discusses how views of gender and sexuality have changed over time as societies developed, with many historically having patriarchal systems that subordinated women and restricted their roles and rights. It outlines various women's movements that aimed to challenge patriarchal structures and gain equal rights.
1) Human sexuality involves the physical, psychological, and social aspects of sexual behavior. It is influenced by biological factors like anatomy and hormones, as well as environmental factors like culture, relationships, and life experiences.
2) Sexual behavior serves both reproductive and non-reproductive purposes. It provides health benefits like stress relief, immune system boosting, and cardiovascular benefits.
3) Normal sexual response involves four phases: desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution. It is mediated by the central nervous system and hormones. Foreplay involves physical and psychological stimulation to increase arousal.
This document discusses homophobia and societal acceptance of homosexuality. It argues that while the US has made progress in accepting women and racial minorities, full acceptance of gays has not been achieved. It claims that homosexual assaults are more common than for other minorities. It also discusses theories that homophobia stems from repressed homosexual urges and that many homophobes base their views on hearsay rather than personally knowing gay people. The document calls for teaching acceptance rather than using the Bible as a weapon against gays.
This document defines key concepts related to sexuality, gender, and sexual health. It discusses sexuality as encompassing biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions. Sexual rights are outlined, and a sexually healthy adult is described as someone who appreciates their body, develops meaningful relationships, and expresses sexuality throughout life while respecting others. Sexual orientation, identity, activity, and development across the lifespan are also addressed.
This document defines and describes various types of human sexuality, including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, and paraphilias. It provides definitions for fetishism, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pedophilia, bestiality, coprophilia, and other paraphilias. The document also includes a short multiple choice quiz to test the reader's understanding of the different terms.
This document provides an overview of the history of human sexuality from ancient times to the present. It discusses various cultures' attitudes toward sexuality, including ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, and more recent eras. It also outlines major events and movements that impacted views of sexuality, such as feminism, gay rights, and sexual revolutions. The overall purpose is to examine how understandings and treatment of sexuality have changed across history and societies.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

system of the human body functions in very similar ways to the point that health
guidelines, disease prevention and maintenance, and even organ transplants are very
similar and guided under a large umbrella of shared guidelines. True, there are medical
specialists in treating men and women, but again the similarities outweigh the differences.
Today you probably ate breakfast, took a shower (hopefully), walked in the sunlight,
sweated, slept, used the bathroom, was exposed to germs and pathogens, grew more hair
and finger nails, exerted your muscles to the point that they became stronger, and felt and
managed stress. So did every man and woman you know and in very similar ways.
So, why the big debate of the battle of the sexes? Perhaps it’s because of the impact of
gender, the cultural definition of what it means to be a man or a woman. In other words,
gender is socialized behaviors prescribed for society’s members based on their sex.
Therefore, sex=male, female and gender=masculine, feminine. Gender is culturally-based
and varies in a thousand subtle ways across the many diverse cultures of the world.
Gender has been shaped by political, religious, philosophical, linguistic, traditional, and
other cultural forces for many years. To this day, in most countries of the world women
and girls are still oppressed and denied access to opportunities more often than men and
boys. This can be seen through many diverse historical documents. When reading these
documents, the most common theme of how women were historically oppressed in the
world’s societies is the omission of women as being legally, biologically, economically, and
2 | S e x a n d G e n d e r
even spiritually on par with men. The second most common theme is the assumption that
women were somehow broken versions of men or lesser beings than men.1
Biology has disproven the belief that women are broken versions of men. In fact, the 23rd
chromosome looks like XX in females and XY in.
This document discusses sex, gender, and sexuality. It defines sex as the biological dimensions assigned at birth based on anatomy and chromosomes, while gender is the social and cultural expectations and identities associated with one's sex. It notes that while sex is usually binary, some people are intersex or transgender. Sexual orientation pertains to one's emotional and sexual attractions. The document then discusses how views of gender and sexuality have changed over time as societies developed, with many historically having patriarchal systems that subordinated women and restricted their roles and rights. It outlines various women's movements that aimed to challenge patriarchal structures and gain equal rights.
1) Human sexuality involves the physical, psychological, and social aspects of sexual behavior. It is influenced by biological factors like anatomy and hormones, as well as environmental factors like culture, relationships, and life experiences.
2) Sexual behavior serves both reproductive and non-reproductive purposes. It provides health benefits like stress relief, immune system boosting, and cardiovascular benefits.
3) Normal sexual response involves four phases: desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution. It is mediated by the central nervous system and hormones. Foreplay involves physical and psychological stimulation to increase arousal.
This document discusses homophobia and societal acceptance of homosexuality. It argues that while the US has made progress in accepting women and racial minorities, full acceptance of gays has not been achieved. It claims that homosexual assaults are more common than for other minorities. It also discusses theories that homophobia stems from repressed homosexual urges and that many homophobes base their views on hearsay rather than personally knowing gay people. The document calls for teaching acceptance rather than using the Bible as a weapon against gays.
This document defines key concepts related to sexuality, gender, and sexual health. It discusses sexuality as encompassing biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions. Sexual rights are outlined, and a sexually healthy adult is described as someone who appreciates their body, develops meaningful relationships, and expresses sexuality throughout life while respecting others. Sexual orientation, identity, activity, and development across the lifespan are also addressed.
This document defines and describes various types of human sexuality, including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, and paraphilias. It provides definitions for fetishism, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pedophilia, bestiality, coprophilia, and other paraphilias. The document also includes a short multiple choice quiz to test the reader's understanding of the different terms.
This document provides an overview of the history of human sexuality from ancient times to the present. It discusses various cultures' attitudes toward sexuality, including ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, and more recent eras. It also outlines major events and movements that impacted views of sexuality, such as feminism, gay rights, and sexual revolutions. The overall purpose is to examine how understandings and treatment of sexuality have changed across history and societies.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Osteoporosis is an increasing cause of morbidity among the elderly.
In this document , a brief outline of osteoporosis is given , including the risk factors of osteoporosis fractures , the indications for testing bone mineral density and the management of osteoporosis
1. Case
Julian and Julie are couple in their 30’s. As a young married
couple, they engage in foreplays when making love by doing
acts such as cunnilingus and fellatio.
They enjoy them as part of their sexual rituals. Julie is a
religious person who spends time for mass and prayer everyday.
2. Julie, however mentioned the foreplays to another religious
friend who was asked about her opinion on it. Her friend was
shocked about it to the point of being scandalized. She told Julie
to stop it as engaging in them is against sexual morality and
decency.
Julie worried about her sexual practice. Later, she did not
want to do it with her husband who later was furious about the
sudden change in her sexual behaviour.
3. Guide questions
1) What is ethical or unethical in foreplays?
2) Was the lady friend ethically correct in her view about sexual
foreplay?
3) What can be done ethically with regard to sexual foreplay?
5. Discussion question
If you heard someone say “I had sex last night,” what specific
behaviors would you think happened?
In other words, what does it mean to “have sex” specifically?
6. Sex for Procreation
Reproduction is the only “legitimate” and “moral” reason for
sex.
“Sex” becomes synonymous with penile-vaginal intercourse.
If you heard someone say “I had sex last night,” what
specific behaviors would you think happened?
7. What are the consequences of this thinking?
1) Penile-vaginal intercourse is primary source of satisfaction
2) Sexual response and orgasm are supposed to occur during
penetration
3) Places tremendous and unrealistic expectations on coitus itself
4) Devalues non-intercourse sexual intimacy (ex. ‘What do they do
during sex?’)
10. Historical perspective
Allows consideration of trends in sexual behaviors and
attitudes
Historical analyses show little evidence of universal sexual
behaviors and customs.
11. Prehistoric Sexuality
Female idolatry
Phallic worship
penis viewed as symbol of power
Phallic symbols
Incest taboo
The prohibition against intercourse and reproduction among
close blood relatives
Present in some form in all human societies
12. The Ancient Hebrews
Emphasized procreative function of sex
Same-sex sexual relations was strongly condemned.
Adultery was not allowed, at least for women.
Polygamy, the practice of having two or more spouses (wives)
at the same time, was permitted.
However, most Hebrews were monogamous.
Sex strengthened marriage and solidified family
Minimum frequency of relations within marriage legislated
Women considered property of men
13. The Ancient Greeks
Valued family life; Admired male body of muscle and health
Gods viewed as sexually adventurous
Viewed men and women as bisexual.
Male-male sex was considered normal as long as it did not
interfere with the family.
Pederasty, or love of boys, by older men was condoned as long as the boy
was not prepubescent.
Prostitution was very popular.
Courtesans: prostitutes, usually the mistress of a noble or wealthy man
Concubines: a secondary wife, usually of lower status
14. Ancient Romans
Elite practiced sexual excesses, such as orgies, bestiality, and
sadism
Sexual terms still in use have Roman cultural roots:
Fellatio
Cunnilingus
Fornication
The family was seen as the source of integrity of the Roman
empire and male-male sexual behavior was met with
disapproval.
Women considered husbands’ property
15. Early Christians
If celibacy was not possible, sex was restricted to marriage
and was for procreation and not for pleasure.
Masturbation, prostitution, same-sex sexual relations, oral-
genital contact, and anal intercourse were strictly forbidden
and viewed as sinful.
Divorce was outlawed.
16. Islam
The Islamic tradition values marriage and sexual
fulfillment in marriage only
Only men may have more than one spouse
Social interactions between men and women restricted
17. India
Hinduism views sex as a religious duty
Sexual fulfillment can lead to reincarnation at a higher level
Kama Sutra
18. Far East
Ancient history promoted sexual activity (Taoism) but with
Confucianism came stricter sexual attitudes.
Sexual conservatism with communist rule (1949)
Lack of basic information about sexuality
Sex outside of marriage and frequent sex within marriage
discouraged
Almost no STDS
19. The Middle Ages
Conflicting views of women:
Sinful, as Eve
Saintly, as Mary – this view elevated women’s status
The Protestant Reformation
Priests allowed to marry and rear children.
Sex not just for procreation
20. Victorian era
Women’s place was in the home and fields
Sexuality was repressed
Not discussed in public
Women thought to have no sexual feelings
Men thought to be drained of healthy & vitality by sex
Despite these prohibitions, prostitution was quite
common.
21. Foundations of the
Scientific Study of Sexuality
Began during the Victorian Era
Sexologists gained credence:
Havelock Ellis
Richard von Krafft-Ebing
Sigmund Freud
Alfred Kinsey
22. Sexual revolution
During the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s sexual attitudes and
behaviors became more liberal
Forces that brought about the revolution include
The Vietnam War
The fear of the nuclear bomb
The birth-control pill
The mass media
Discussion and portrayals of sexuality accepted &
commonplace
23. Gay activism
Arose during the sexual revolution
AIDS education, prevention, and treatment
Sex research
Sexually explicit questionnaires
Masters & Johnson laboratory research
24. Recent trends:
More teens sexually active
Teens are becoming sexually active at
younger ages
Female sexuality is accepted
Sex is discussed openly
Pornography commonplace
25. Biological perspective
Studies role of genes, hormones, the nervous system,
and other biological factors in sexuality
Mechanisms of arousal and reproduction
26. Evolutionary Perspective
Evolution: the development of a species to its present
state
Natural selection
The evolutionary process by which adaptive traits enable
members of a species to survive to reproductive age and
transmit these traits to future generations
Evolutionary psychologists suggest that there is a genetic
basis to social behavior, including human sexual
behavior.
27. Cross-Species Perspective
Places human behavior in a broader context by comparing it to
non-human sexual behavior
Nonhuman analogues of sexual behavior include male-male and
female-female sexual behavior, oral-genital contact, oral-oral
behavior, foreplay, and the use of a variety of coital positions.
The sexual behaviors of animals “higher up” on the evolutionary
ladder are controlled less by instinct compared to those “lower” on
the ladder.
28. Sociological perspective
Examine effect of culture on sexual behavior and attitudes
Behaviors that vary include polygamy and frequency of
intercourse
Attitudes that vary include those on masturbation
Kissing is almost universal
Social institutions affect behaviors and attitudes
29. Psychological perspective
Psychoanalytic Perspective (Sigmund Freud)
Psychoanalysis focuses on biological, instinctual drives
(sexual and aggressive) that society attempts to control; the
unconscious mind; and the conflicting personality structures
of the id, ego, superego.
The ego protects itself from anxiety due to inner conflict by using
defense mechanisms, e.g., repression.
Practices dream analysis
30. Erogenous zones: Parts of the body, including but not limited to the sex
organs, that are responsive to sexual stimulation.
Children progress through stages of psychosexual development, each
focused on different erogenous zones and conflicts.
Oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital
Fixation, or arrested development, is possible at each stage.
31. Distinction and Clarification of Concepts
Sex
Refers to ‘specific’ nature and implies two possibilities (man
and woman)
Sexuality
An attribute of man’s nature as having a capacity to act in a
manner that distinctly belongs either to a man or woman
Manlangit, 2010
32. Gender
Understood under the field of linguistics and culture and includes three
varieties: masculine, feminine and neuter
Sex biological ; Gender sexual orientation
Genitality
Refers to the physical attribute of the reproductive structure
Sensuality
Quality or state that indicates a devotion to pleasure of the sense and
appetite
Manlangit, 2010
33. SEX, a Natural
and Supernatural Desire for Intimacy
1. A natural attribute that a man and a woman can engage like
eating, drinking to cope with the certainty of death or
biological extinction
2. It extends to the psychological and even spiritual domain of
man which can elevate the couple’s relationship to high
levels of intimacy under right conditions, timing, feeling,
mutuality and above all love
34. 3. On a profane level , sexual love involves the elements of
romance, desire and concupiscence (ex. Kamasutra)
The desire of men and women for each other though
belonging to their lower instinct is consummated through all
possible avenues of communication from the bodily to the
emotional and spiritual dimensions
35. 4. Under auspices of passion men and women become
attracted to each other, thus making sexual love a uniting
factor that can bind a human relationship to mutual and
creative collaboration
Leading to self surrender
36. 5. Intimacy of both sense and spirit
Gives the body, mind and spirit a high level of ecstasy and
intimacy that only man and woman can understand and
feel
Not sexual orgasm but intimate spiritual union
Described as divine and transcendental
37. Human Creative Sexuality
Subsumes the understanding of the nature and functions
of human sexuality and the ethical consequence
attendant to its use
Personalized Sexuality
Practice according to nature and purpose to be use at will
and according to their whims and caprice
38. Principle of Human Creative Sexuality
1. Sexuality is Human
It belongs to both sense and spirit, not only to
instinct and sentiment
Nurtured by the richness of human attributes,
enlightened by higher truth and values
39. 2. Sexuality is Total
Form of integral personal friendship
Man and woman or husband and wife generously share
everything, without undue reservations or selfish
motivations
Includes whatever potentialities that are expected to
occur like motherhood or fatherhood
40. 3. Sexuality is Faithful and Exclusive
Genuine sexuality is meant to endure a lasting relationship
until death that binds a man and woman since it is meant to
serve a higher purpose beyond the sexual satisfaction of the
persons engaging in it.
The locus and place of sexuality is a stable union between
man and woman consummated in marriage and never in a
perverted union between same sexes
41. Dehumanizing in Sexuality
Using others as a means for one's end
If sexuality is understood outside the context of the spiritual
nature of man, it ends up inhuman
What is inhuman is infra natural, something lower than what is
simply animal
When sexuality is isolated from spirituality, one sees the other
person as “a sexual object” instead of as “a beloved person”
42. A purely carnal union deprived of the spirit, humiliates
and reduces persons to the condition of “things” that have
meaning only for as long as they satisfy or give pleasure
lust
43. It is important to remind those who consider sex as the highest
expression of love between two persons that in the relationship
between man and woman, “sexual submission can be love
transferred to the corporeal sphere, it however, is not always a
‘proof’ of love, although often it is demanded as such.”
44. Sex Education
With or Without Values
Worldwide there has been a clamor for sex education not only
for adults but more so for minor and small children
Question: “What is the appropriate age by the which sex
education can be initiated?”
Age 7?
Age of reason?
45. Sex education can benefit the learners when they are done in a
way that leads to maturity, responsibility and not malice
Sex education must cultivate first and foremost the mental
development of the person including their attitude and not only
their skills in doing at the sexual act
Sex education program therefore must include values since
sexuality is deeply value-laden subject matter
46. With Values
Genuine Sexuality
Responsible complementation of
both sexes
Well-formed conscience
Socially Responsible act
Noble gift and act of generosity
Selflessness
Sacredness of sexuality
Without Values
Sensuality
Exercise mutual pleasurable
genitality
Lust
Permissiveness
Pornography and
Commercialization
Licentiousness
Reproductive anatomy
47. Change in the Language
Instituted by Sex Educators
Fornication “cohabitation”
Contraception “responsible family planning”
Abortion “women’s right”
Euthanasia “death with dignity”
Pornography “sexually explicit material”
Promiscuity “serial monogamy”
Sexual perversions “alternative lifestyles”
Sodomites, homosexuals “gay” people
Adultery “flexible monogamy”
48. Partner in adultery “significant other”
Bestiality “interspecies love”
Sado-masochism “exchange of power”
Child molestation “intergenerational love”
Modesty, chastity “sexual hang-ups”
Self-discipline “unhealthy repression”
Moral irresponsibility “ freed up”
49. The Media and Sexuality
Television; News, advice and education programs,
increased access to sexual material, cable and music videos
Advertising
Magazines
The Internet
50. Where the personal is political?
We face controversies about social policies, laws
and ethics in almost every area related to human
sexuality.
51. Example
Should public schools provide abstinence-only or
comprehensive sex education?
Should same sex couples be able to legally marry?
Should health insurance be required to cover costs for
contraception?
52. Should teens obtain contraceptive services without
parental consent?
Should a person’s HIV status be part of the public
record?
Should prostitution be legal?
53. Humanizing Sexuality
If it is taken as a form of personal commitment and
responsibility, a challenge to one's fidelity to love
It is humanizing if it enables one to realize oneself as it brings
the other to fulfilment
Both attain mutual self-realization and unitive self-fulfilment
55. Essential Elements of Human Sexuality
a) The sexual instinct or tendency:
Inate
Theological (ordained towards an end procreation)
Transcends psychologically (ordained towards another
person away from self) does not need intelligence but is
regulated by the latter
56. b) Man is sexual
Though always present, sexuality is not everything
c) Sex is an objective reality in accord with God’s plan for man;
therefore, it is good in itself
Sex life ought to be regulated morally according to Natural Law
1st principle of sexual life: Marriage is the only natural way willed
by God wherein sexual life may be exercised morally
57. d) Sexuality is the biological vehicle for self-giving
between man and woman
Human love involves all the dimensions of being
affective and spiritual
Today the tendency is to dissociate love from sex
“Love” is used as a simple requisite to practice sex
58. e) The sexual instinct is ordained essentially to the propagation of
the species, to the transmission of life
Therefore, the unitive and procreative aspect of sexual love
must not be separated
61. Sex is a TOTAL &
UNCONDITIONAL self-
giving between a married
couple.
62. Sex as God’s gift is a
3 in 1 power...
1. Pleasure-giving
2. Love giving (unitive)
3. Life giving
(Pro-creative)
63.
64. 4 Principal Values of Human sexuality
Pleasure
Love
Reproduction
Symbolism
65. According to Humanae Vitae
a) The meaning of responsible parenthood is primarily
influenced by the level of knowledge of the biological
process in reproduction
Knowledge of this mechanisms must not lead them to
interfere with the cycle
It ought to move them to respect these natural processes
because they are not dealing simply with biological laws
but of “biological laws which involves the person”
66. b) If we examine the innate desires and emotions of
man, responsible parenthood expresses the dominion
which reason and will must exert over them
- when the respect for sexual is replaced by the
egoistic, superficial search for pleasure, the moral life
of the individual and marriage end catastrophically
67. c) If we consider the relevant physical, economic,
psychological, and social conditions, responsible
parenthood is exercised by those who prudently and
generously decide to have a large family or by those who,
for serious reasons and with due respect for the moral law,
choose not to have children for the time being or even for
an indeterminate period
68. 2 important problems are presented on the
decision to limit the number of children:
1) The existence of a serious motive for avoiding the
birth of another child
2) Respect for the moral law while searching for the
most adequate means of avoiding the birth
