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.

12 sexual variants, abuse, and dysfunctions
learning objectives 12
· 12.1 Why is it difficult to define boundaries between normality and psychopathology in the area of variant sexuality?
· 12.2 What do we mean by sexual and gender variants?
· 12.3 What are the three primary types of sexual abuse?
· 12.4 What is a sexual dysfunction?
Loving, sexually satisfying relationships contribute a great deal to our happiness, and if we are not in such relationships, we are apt to spend a great deal of time, effort, and emotional energy looking for them. Sexuality is a central concern of our lives, influencing with whom we fall in love and mate and how happy we are with our partner and with ourselves.
In this chapter we shall first look at the psychological problems that make sexual fulfillment especially difficult for some people—the vast majority of them men—who develop unusual sexual interests that are difficult to satisfy in a socially acceptable manner. For example, exhibitionists are sexually aroused by showing their genitals to strangers, who are likely to be disgusted, frightened, and potentially traumatized. Other sexual or gender variants may be problematic primarily to the individual: Transsexualism, for example, is a disorder involving discomfort with one’s biological sex and a strong desire to be of the opposite sex. Still other variants such as fetishism, in which sexual interest centers on some inanimate object or body part, involve behaviors that, although bizarre and unusual, do not clearly harm anyone. Perhaps no other area covered in this book exposes the difficulties in defining boundaries between normality and psychopathology as clearly as variant sexuality does.
The second issue we shall consider is sexual abuse, a pattern of pressured, forced, or inappropriate sexual contact. During the last few decades, there has been a tremendous increase in attention to the problem of sexual abuse of both children and adults. A great deal of research has addressed its causes and consequences. As we shall see, some related issues, such as the reality of recovered memories of sexual abuse, are extremely controversial.
The third category of sexual difficulties examined in this chapter is sexual dysfunctions, which include problems that impede satisfactory performance of sexual acts. People who have sexual dysfunctions (or their partners) typically view them as problems. Premature ejaculation, for example, causes men to reach orgasm much earlier than they and their partners find satisfying. And women with orgasmic disorder get sexually aroused and enjoy sexual activity but have a persistent delay, or absence, of orgasm following a normal sexual excitement or arousal phase.
Much less is known about sexual deviations, abuse, and dysfunctions than is known about many of the other disorders we have considered thus far in this book. There are also fewer sex researchers than researchers for many other disorders, so fewer articles related to res.

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

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 ...
Sexuality and Identity: Scientific Findings

Executive Summary of “Living the Truth in Love”
An international conference and resource event to address pastoral approaches toward men and women with homosexual tendencies
October 2, 2015
Pontifical University of St. Thomas Rome, Italy
Today, terms like “homosexual persons” and “sexual orientation” are used as if they had a univocal meaning and described objective, even obvious realities existing in the world. But phrases like “homosexual persons” and “sexual orientation” can be misleading, and words like “homosexual” and “homosexuality” are ambiguous.
Insisting on language better suited to scientific and anthropological realities will help clarify the truth about our identity as human persons and the true basis of our dignity, for those within and beyond our religious communities.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Pleasure through sexual intercourse,
pornography and masturbation
By Siddhant , ba psychology semester 2
Amity university dubai
2. INTRODUCTION
Western civilizations are
basically Greco-Roman in
social organization,
philosophy, and law, with a
powerful admixture of
Judaism and Christianity.
The judeo – Christian culture
had certain elements which
did not mix : individual
freedom was admired, but
there was a point on law and
proper procedure;
The two factions the
pantheism of the Greeks and
Romans questioned the
ideology of Judeo-Christian
monotheism or the belief
that there is only one God.
the sexual permissiveness of
Hellenistic times was
answered by the anti
sexuality of early
Christianity.
3. contd
In terms of sex, the most important factor
was for them Christianity.
While other vital aspects of human life, such
as government, property rights, kinship, and
economics, were influenced to varying
degrees, sexuality was singled out as falling
almost entirely within the domain of
religion.
This development arose from an ascetic
concept which was shared by a number of
religions,
The two concept of the good spiritual world
as opposed to the carnal materialistic world,
the struggle between the spirit and the
flesh. Since sex is the embodiment of the
flesh, it was obviously considered the enemy
of the spirit.
4. Human sexuality
“Human sexuality” refers to people’s sexual interest
in and attraction to others; it is the capacity to have
erotic or sexual feelings and experiences.
Sexuality differs from biological sex, in that
“sexuality” refers to the capacity for sexual feelings
and attraction, while “biological sex” refers to how
one’s anatomy, physiology, hormones, and genetics
are classified (typically as male, female, or
intersex). Sexuality is also separate from gender
identity, which is a person’s sense of their own
gender, or sociocultural classification (i.e., man,
woman, or another gender) based on biological sex
(i.e., male or female). It is also distinct from—
although it shapes—sexual orientation, or one’s
emotional and sexual attraction to a particular sex or
gender.
Sexuality may be experienced and expressed in a
variety of ways, including thoughts, fantasies,
desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors,
practices, roles, and relationships. These manifest
themselves not only in biological, physical, and
emotional ways, but also in sociocultural ways, which
have to do with the effects of human society and
culture on one’s sexuality. Some researchers believe
that sexual behavior is determined by genetics;
however, others assert that it is largely molded by
the environment.
Human sexuality impacts, and is impacted by,
cultural, political, legal, and philosophical aspects of
life, and can interact with issues of morality, ethics,
theology, spirituality, or religion.
5. Sexuality as
viewed by
different
cultures
Sexuality may be experienced and
expressed in a variety of ways,
including thoughts, fantasies,
desires, beliefs, attitudes, values,
behaviors, practices, roles, and
relationships.
these may manifest themselves not
only in biological, physical, and
emotional ways, but also in
sociocultural ways, which have to do

and culture on one’s sexuality. Some

largely molded by the environment.
Human sexuality impacts, and is
impacted by, cultural, political,
legal, and philosophical aspects of
life, and can interact with issues of
morality, ethics, theology,
spirituality, or religion.
6. “Throughout time and place, the vast
majority of human beings have
participated in sexual relationships
“(Broude 2003)
society, however, interprets sexuality and
sexual activity in different ways. Human
sexuality can be understood as part of the
social life of humans, governed by implied
rules of behavior and the status quo.
The sociocultural context of society—
which includes all social and cultural
factors, from politics and religion to the
mass media—not only creates social
norms, but also places major importance
on conformity to these norms. Norms
dictate what is considered to be
acceptable behavior; what is considered
normal or acceptable in terms of sexual
behavior is based on the norms, mores,
and values of the particular society.
7. Factors that
influence
sexuality
Religion
Openness and
acceptability
Stereotypes
Awareness
Decent understanding
of their sexual
preference and feelings
Sex education
Media
8. Role of media
Homosexuality is perceived differently by
different cultures and subcultures. Many of
these perceptions are influenced by religion.
Different cultures vary in how they understand
sexuality and in what they deem to be
acceptable or normal.
We must understand media in todays age plays
a critical role in our lives . It has the power to
manipulate our thought process
Mass media in the form of television,
magazines, movies, and music continues to
shape what is deemed appropriate or normal
sexuality, ( ask who decides the norms?)
targeting everything from body image to
products meant to enhance sex appeal. Media
serves to perpetuate a number of social scripts
about sexual relationships and the sexual roles
of men and women, many of which have been
shown to have both empowering and
problematic effects on people’s (especially
women’s) developing sexual identities and
sexual attitudes.
9. Sexual
intercourse
people continue to engage in sex long after
they have stopped having children. Often,
their sex lives actually get better, because
there are no more worries about unplanned
pregnancy
It is mainly due to an intense interest in sex
and eroticism has no connection to the
suppposed interest in producing offspring. In
fact, those interests are often inversely
related.
sexual behaviors we commonly engage in,
even in the fertile years, are not related to
reproduction at all. If you classify sex for
reproduction, then how do you justify or
give reasoning to sexual acts as anal and oral
sex?
10. It turns out that the deep experience of sexual pleasure depends
somehow on the presence, and conduct, of others.
illustration of this is seen found in prostitution. On its face,
prostitution is a cold business to work in . No justification is there
for this clients come in and pay for physical pleasure .
It is also seen that the customer's enjoyment increased if the
prostitute produces the sounds of enjoyment and sexual arousal?
If the client's motivation is selfish sexual release, ie satisfaction
of urge, it shouldn’t matter to him if the prostitute is aroused?
What excites him about the thought that she is enjoying herself?
Fundamental social, interpersonal dynamics are apparently
present even here, inside the most alienated transaction.
14. Masturbation
It may still be the punchline of many a joke, but self-
pleasure has come a long way since American Pie's apple
pie incident. While the stigma around self-love is slowly
shrinking, we have to ask: Is it possible it's affecting our
ability to get it on IRL?
Megan Fleming is a sex and relation therapist also Ph.D.,
says that Masturbation actually helps keep your sexual
pilot light on , If you get in the habit of bringing yourself
to orgasm and experiencing that onslaught of dopamine,
oxytocin, and stress relief, you won't start with a cold
engine when you want to get revved up with a partner.
Fleming another researcher says getting excited to get it
on may not be a problem for some, but if you tend to have
a low libido, solo sessions can help you know exactly what
turns you on.
greatist.com
15. In todays world it is the most talked about topic, and
sexual freedom, we enter an ancient and debated topic,
like masturbation.
There are debates or clashes of views among sexologists
and gnosis (Gnosis is the common Greek noun for
knowledge (γνῶσις, gnôsis, f.). The term is used in various
Hellenistic religions and philosophies).
sexologists and modern sexual education say they
recommend the practice of masturbation. Knowing the
behind the scenes workings of human nature, gnosis of
yesterday and today does not recommend masturbation
and goes further justify their claims saying that it is a
practice that creates severe damage rather than helping
us .
We have to understand that both genders indulge in this ,
despite any situation
