Sex in Finland - Trends, beliefs and relationshipsTommi Paalanen
Finland has seen a liberalization of attitudes towards sexuality, greater acceptance of sexual diversity, and an emphasis on gender equality. However, conservative resistance remains. Sexual behavior among Finns includes multiple partners on average and experimentation with acts like anal sex and BDSM. Pornography use is also very common, especially among youth, and amateur porn production and sharing is on the rise. While relationships are typically based on emotional bonds and serial monogamy, over 30% of Finns engage in parallel relationships. There is also a small but growing counter-culture that practices polyamory and open relationships.
Tommi Paalanen discusses the boundaries of sexual freedom and evaluates different sexual acts and preferences from an ethical perspective. He argues that consenting adults should be free to engage in sexual practices that do not harm others. However, he acknowledges that certain acts may cross ethical boundaries if they cause harm, lack informed consent, or involve manipulation or power imbalances. While sadomasochism between consenting adults may not be inherently harmful, practices that could result in death, permanent injury, or non-consensual harm to others would violate ethical standards. Paalanen also distinguishes between sexual preferences and child sexual abuse, noting that non-offending pedophiles should have outlets for their preferences that do not involve actual child
Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity And Adolescent Health 10.6.07Knoll Larkin
This document provides an overview of key terms and definitions related to sexual orientation and gender identity, with a focus on the experiences and health issues faced by LGBT youth. It discusses concepts like coming out, preferred language, challenges LGBT youth face in schools, homes, and healthcare settings, and health concerns including substance abuse, violence, HIV risk, and mental health issues. The document concludes with standards of care recommendations and resources for creating inclusive environments and supporting LGBT youth.
This document discusses gender identity and sexual orientation. It defines key terms like sex, gender, transgender, transsexual, and sexual orientations. It notes that gender identity can differ from biological sex and may change over time. Transgender people's gender identities and presentations do not fit traditional norms. Transsexual people live as the opposite gender and may undergo medical procedures. Coming out is challenging but liberating. Homophobia, heterosexism, and transphobia promote discrimination against LGBTQ people. The document raises questions about defining gender and reducing discrimination.
Childhood Gender Identity Development (2006 Translating Identities Conference)Morganne Ray
This document summarizes Morgan Ray's presentation on childhood gender identity development. It discusses how children learn and express gender from toddler age through middle school, being influenced by reinforcement, role models, peer pressure and gender stereotypes. It shows how children progress from flexible gender exploration to rigid adherence to gender norms. Interactive exercises are described to help facilitate discussions about gender with children.
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.

Gender identity and sexual orientation chapter 9tmbouvier
This document discusses gender identity and sexual orientation. It defines key terms like gender identity, sexual orientation, transgender, cisgender, and more. It explores how gender identity may differ from biological sex and can be shaped by both nature and nurture. It also addresses obstacles faced by transgender individuals like access to healthcare and discrimination. The document aims to increase understanding of diverse identities and lifestyles.
Sex, gender identity, and gender expression can exist on spectrums that are different than traditional norms. Gender identity refers to one's internal sense of self as male, female, both, or neither, which may or may not correspond to their sex assigned at birth. There are many terms used to describe various gender identities including transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, and more which challenge societal expectations of gender roles and expressions.
The document summarizes research into sexual relationships and satisfaction. It presents a hypothesis that women tend to hide lack of sexual pleasure more than men. An online survey of 52 sexually active participants aged 18-20 was conducted, finding that 79% of women faked pleasure or orgasm compared to 40% of men. The results supported the hypothesis and highlighted issues such as women feeling less comfortable with their bodies and not communicating pain to partners. Limitations included potential for lying and a small sample size.
From a Black and White to a Technicolor View of Gender: A Discussion on Gende...Aimee Beardslee
This document provides an overview of a discussion on gender identity and gender variance. It covers topics such as the differences between sex and gender, what intersex and transgender mean, gender development theories, and examples of gender variance across cultures. The discussion aims to move from a black and white view of gender to a more nuanced technicolor perspective that acknowledges there exists a spectrum of gender identities and expressions.
This document discusses several topics related to homosexuality and sexual orientation, including:
- Whether people should have the freedom to discriminate against homosexuals.
- Whether homosexuality is a choice or involuntary condition.
- The origins of sexual preferences and whether they are influenced by social or biological factors.
- Evidence from studies of brain structures and genes that suggest biological influences on sexual orientation.
- Arguments for and against recognizing same-sex marriage and relationships.
Personality disorders are characterized by rigid and maladaptive patterns of behavior that cause difficulties in relationships and social adjustment. There are 10 recognized types, including antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a disregard for laws and social norms, while borderline personality disorder is characterized by unstable relationships, mood swings, and unstable self-image. Both biological and environmental factors such as childhood abuse or neglect may contribute to the development of personality disorders.
This document discusses dilemmas around promoting sexual rights for people with pedophilic desires. It summarizes challenges to a proposed EU directive that would expand the definition of child pornography. Research suggests child pornography laws do not prevent child sex crimes and may even increase them. The document concludes a softer preventative approach through therapy instead of punishment could better address the issue while respecting sexual rights and preventing harm. It poses questions around whether fictional child pornography could aid prevention and if child pornography laws should be loosened to help prevention.
Human sexuality is influenced by genetic, biological, psychosocial, and cultural factors. It involves behaviors, relationships, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other expressions that begin developing in childhood. Sexual issues can include paraphilias (abnormal sexual interests), dysfunctions (problems with sexual arousal, desire, or orgasm), and disorders of gender identity or sexual pain. Treatment may involve psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, medication, or surgery depending on the specific issue.
1. Miriam Schuler, known as the "Condom Grandma", educates senior citizens about safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention.
2. A survey of younger and older men and women found that increasing age can impact sexual activity through medical issues, body image, and hormonal changes. Maintaining communication and adapting sexually is important.
3. Both men and women experience physiological changes with age like decreased hormones and lubrication that can impact sexual arousal and function but focusing on foreplay and pleasure can help continue enjoyment.
Gender and sex,what is gender identity?what you mean gender expression?what is gender stereotyping?what is the difference between gender equity and gender equality?
This document discusses gender identity disorders and provides information on their diagnosis and treatment. It defines gender identity as one's sense of being male or female, and gender dysphoria as discomfort with one's birth sex. The diagnostic criteria include a strong cross-gender identification and discomfort with one's gender role. Treatment for children focuses on social skills, for adolescents on slowing puberty, and for adults on hormonal therapy and potential sex reassignment surgery.
This document contains arguments presented by two student groups for and against homosexuality. The group supporting homosexuality provides arguments around happiness, evolution, settling down, privacy, minority rights, and adoption. The group against homosexuality argues homosexuality leads to unhappiness, is unnatural, causes social disdain, disrupts family values, and deprives potential life. Both groups then provide rebuttals to the other group's arguments.
Sexual orientation involves a person's emotional, romantic, and sexual attraction to individuals of a particular gender. It is divided into three main categories: heterosexual orientation referring to attraction to the opposite sex; homosexual orientation referring to attraction to the same sex, including gay (male-male attraction) and lesbian (female-female attraction); and bisexual orientation referring to attraction to both males and females. While the exact causes are unclear, most research indicates that sexual orientation is not a choice and that both biological/genetic factors and social environment play complex roles in determining a person's orientation. Issues related to sexual orientation include homophobia, discrimination against LGBT individuals, and the recognition of same-sex families and relationships.
The document discusses several challenges faced by transgender individuals, including high rates of stress during transition, unemployment, disability, and suicide attempts. It notes that transgender people often lose social support and experience discrimination. Additionally, the quality of healthcare services for transgender individuals is often poor. The document advocates for improving access to specialized healthcare providers and services to better meet the needs of the transgender community and reduce health disparities.
The document discusses human sexuality, including its physiological, social, and psychological aspects. It describes the typical four phase sexual response cycle of desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution. Key factors that influence sexuality are identified as developmental experiences, culture, religion, lifestyle, health, and medications. Common sexual dysfunctions in males and females are also outlined.

After 42 years working in the NHS, the author reflects on the immense changes in technology and opportunities for improving healthcare through IT. While many experienced staff are now retiring, succession planning is critical to ensure knowledge and skills are transferred to new generations. There remains a lack of collaboration between NHS IT teams that restricts progress, and staff should share experiences from different organizations to make more informed decisions. Overall, the author believes IT still has an important role to play in transforming the NHS in the coming decade.

Refining the Estimation of the Available Bandwidth in Inter-Cloud Links for T...Thiago Genez
This document proposes a procedure to reduce the negative impact of imprecise estimates of available bandwidth in inter-cloud links when scheduling workflows. The procedure deflates estimates of available bandwidth based on expected imprecision, as determined from past executions. It uses multiple linear regression on historical data to calculate a deflating factor to apply to estimates. Evaluation shows the procedure increases the number of schedules that meet deadlines compared to using raw estimates, improving scheduling outcomes.
The influence of chip breaker geometry on tool stresses in turningahsen nasim
The document summarizes a study that investigated the influence of different chip breaker geometries on cutting forces and tool stresses during turning. Turning tests were conducted on AISI 1050 steel using coated and uncoated cemented carbide tools with varying chip breaker geometries and cutting parameters. Cutting forces were measured and tool stresses were analyzed using finite element analysis software. Results showed that increasing cutting speed generally decreased cutting forces up to 300 m/min but increased them beyond that, and increasing feed rate or depth of cut always increased cutting forces. Stresses on the tool depended on cutting speed and depth of cut. [/SUMMARY]

Sex, Gender, and Sexuality Gender and Sexuality Across TimeMariaRobertaAragon
This document discusses biological sex, gender, and sexuality. It defines biological sex as our anatomy and genetics, noting the sex chromosomes, internal and external sex organs, and hormones that determine male, female or intersex status. Gender is defined as the social and cultural roles, responsibilities, and expectations placed on each sex, which can vary widely between cultures and over time. Sexuality encompasses sex, gender, sexual orientation, relationships, acts, meanings and drives. It discusses various dimensions of human sexuality.

J6A-AA MSW Perspectives, Attitudes, and Belifs about HIV/AIDS in High-Crime, ...kparker6
The document summarizes a qualitative research study that explored views and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS among African American men in a high-risk area. The study identified four major themes: 1) challenging living conditions in the area related to drugs, violence and crime, 2) limited knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS, 3) beliefs promoting risky sexual behaviors, and 4) acceptance of promiscuity and infidelity among men. The findings suggest a need for more community-specific interventions addressing gender roles, power dynamics, and basic needs that influence HIV risk in this population.
The document discusses how patriarchy and gender impact women's health. It defines patriarchy as a social system where males hold primary power and authority over women. It also defines sex as biological differences, while gender refers to social and cultural roles. The document then discusses how patriarchy leads to discrimination against women in areas like education, politics, pay, and violence. It explains how gender roles assigning domestic work to women impacts their health by increasing their workload and risk of injury or illness. The document also summarizes various ways culture and gender norms negatively impact women's nutrition, education, and access to healthcare.

Gender and sexuality
What’s the difference?
· Sex refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex (i.e., atypical combinations of features that usually distinguish male from female). There are a number of indicators of biological sex, including sex chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive organs, and external genitalia.
· Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person’s biological sex. Behavior that is compatible with cultural expectations is referred to as gender-normative; behaviors that are viewed as incompatible with these expectations constitute gender non-conformity.
· Sexual orientation refers to the sex of those to whom one is sexually and romantically attracted. Categories of sexual orientation typically have included attraction to members of one’s own sex (gay men or lesbians), attraction to members of the other sex (heterosexuals), and attraction to members of both sexes (bisexuals). While these categories continue to be widely used, research has suggested that sexual orientation does not always appear in such definable categories and instead occurs on a continuum (e.g., Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, & Gebhard, 1953; Klein, 1993; Klein, Sepekoff, & Wolff, 1985; Shiveley & DeCecco, 1977) In addition, some research indicates that sexual orientation is fluid for some people; this may be especially true for women (e.g., Diamond, 2007; Golden, 1987; Peplau & Garnets, 2000).

The document provides an overview of human sexuality from various perspectives including biological, psychological, social and cultural.

It also covers topics like sexual response, ethics, problems after spinal cord injuries and concludes advocating for comprehensive sex education.
This document discusses how culture, specifically patriarchy, shapes and controls female sexuality in Zimbabwean Shona culture. It examines how patriarchal socialization begins in the family, teaching different gender roles, and continues through institutions like marriage, religion, education, politics, and the economy. This socialization process strips women of control over their own sexuality and leads to their subordination. It argues that patriarchy is deeply ingrained in Shona culture and negatively impacts women's ability to determine their own sexuality and lives.

What is harm? Dismantling the concept, and applying it to genital mutilation of all kinds.
Talk in 14th Symposium of Genital Autonomy in Keele University, Staffordshire, UK, in September 2016.
This document discusses the ethics of circumcision and whose rights should be considered in the debate. It argues that circumcision violates the fundamental right of bodily integrity of children, as it is a non-medical procedure performed on defenseless individuals. The document asserts that cultural or religious rights of parents do not justify harming another person and cannot override the personal rights of the child, including their right to bodily integrity. Circumcision can only be justified medically or through the consent of an adult making the decision for themselves.

Introduction to Sexual Rights including extended talk about the revised Declaration of Sexual Rights (2014) by World Association for Sexual Health.
Presented in the 45th Anniversary Seminar of Sexpo Foundation, Finland in November 2014.
This document discusses the dilemma around promoting sexual rights for people with pedophilic desires. It summarizes that tightening child pornography laws does not prevent sex crimes and may even increase them, while therapeutic approaches that accept desires and help control them can be more effective prevention. The document concludes that the proposed EU directive criminalizing fantasies violates sexual rights and prevents effective treatment, and a softer approach through therapy instead of punishment could better prevent crimes.
This document discusses philosophical sexual ethics as an approach to determining what is right and wrong or good and bad in sexual life. It does so through a theoretical framework using universal principles and ideological neutrality to critically examine myths and fallacies. Philosophical sexual ethics can be applied in multidisciplinary ways to issues like rights, legislation, and case studies. It aims to answer basic questions about sexuality through rational analysis that considers structures and circumstances while applying principles of harm, consent, and rights at a meta level beyond immediate situations or cultural norms. However, its scope is limited to analytic ethics within a liberal tradition rather than ideals, lifestyles, or healthy practices, and it does not fully address questions from other ethical perspectives.
Healthy Sexuality? Discussing Normative Affiliations of the ConceptTommi Paalanen
The document discusses the concept of healthy sexuality and questions what truly defines health. It argues that defining health is complex as it involves both personal well-being but also social and community factors. Simply labeling something as healthy or unhealthy can be used to justify discrimination. True sexual health allows individuals to have autonomy over their own sexuality without interference as long as it does not cause harm to others.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

20. Sexual freedom
Martha Nussbaum’s argument
Characteristics of religion from individual’s point of view:
1. Deep personal significance
2. Important part of identity and everyday activities
3. Actualising is essential
Freedom of religion is essential to meaningful life, and
accordingly it should be promoted in a just society which
cares about the well-being of its citizens.
Sexuality shares the same characteristics,
therefore sexual freedom is essential…
