This document appears to be a research paper examining sexual relationships and satisfaction between male and female partners. It includes an introduction outlining the purpose of studying communication in sexual relationships. The method section describes conducting an online survey of 52 participants between ages 18-30 on their sexual experiences and satisfaction. The results section reports findings from the survey, including that most participants were Buddhist, had not yet married but were living together, and reported highest sexual satisfaction for males compared to females. The conclusion suggests more open communication between partners could lead to greater sexual satisfaction for both.
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.
The document discusses the development of an online questionnaire called Sexunzipped to measure sexual wellbeing. It describes challenges in defining and measuring concepts related to sexual wellbeing. It outlines the domains and questions included in the Sexunzipped questionnaire, which was developed using existing measures and input from young people. Focus groups with young people provided feedback on question wording and response options and indicated the questionnaire was convenient, interesting, and made them think about their experiences.
This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted on characteristics versus appearance in romantic relationships. The survey included responses from 50 males and 52 females between the ages of 15-55. The results showed that while physical appearance was assumed to be a priority, most respondents valued personality characteristics more. For both genders, characteristics like good humor, respect, and caring nature were seen as more important qualities in a partner than physical appearance alone. While men were found to consider appearance slightly more than women, the majority of both genders still saw personality as a key factor in choosing a romantic partner.
This study analyzed whether people can subconsciously detect the sexual orientation of others based on facial features alone. 43 students viewed photos of faces and rated them on attractiveness and sexual orientation. The results showed that gay participants were better at detecting homosexuality in their own gender, while straight females were better at detecting homosexuality in males. Both gay and straight participants tended to rate faces of straight individuals as more attractive. This suggests people may have unconscious awareness of others' sexual orientation based solely on facial features.

This article investigates associations between sexual desire, affect, context, and time of day in depressed young women. It summarizes previous research showing both reduced and unchanged sexual desire in depressed adult women. The study uses momentary sampling to examine 44 depressed young women aged 18 on average. Results show sexual desire was experienced when with boyfriends and later in the evening. Sexual desire was also positively associated with positive affect but not negative affect or physical context. The findings suggest depressed young women experience sexual desire in normative social contexts and help correct assumptions they lack sexual desire.
This document summarizes a study conducted by Dr. Taylor that examined perceptions of romantic relationships with different age combinations between men and women. The study presented college students with descriptions of couples ranging in age from 32 to 50 years old, and asked participants to rate each relationship. The results showed that relationships with an 18 year age gap between partners were viewed most negatively, especially when the woman was older. However, overall perceptions were more accepting of age differences than previous research had found. The author believes the study effectively challenged preconceived biases about relationships where women are older.
The document summarizes research on factors that influence mate selection. It presents results from a survey of 100 participants on their views of important qualities when choosing a mate. The top three most important factors were kindness, intelligence, and physical appearance. Most participants found an age difference of 1-5 years acceptable and over half were open to long-distance relationships or dating outside their race. Bad family backgrounds were a deterrent for most. Online dating and speed dating were not widely viewed as effective methods for selecting a mate.
This document summarizes research from four literature reviews on topics related to sexual activity among young adults:
1) A study comparing sexual activity levels between men and women in relationships and views of pornography.
2) Surveys finding that a significant percentage of female university students practice masturbation, challenging assumptions that it is primarily a male activity.
3) A study of Turkish high school students finding males had more sexual partners than females and females felt more negative after first sex.
4) A study finding adolescents rely on the internet and peers rather than education for sex information and correctly identified menstruation more than contraceptives.

This document summarizes a research project investigating attitudes towards gay men and lesbians and support for their human rights among university students in the UK and USA. It provides background on previous related studies and statistics regarding LGBT populations and rights. The study aims to address issues with unequal sample characteristics in past research by comparing attitudes between students in Oklahoma, USA and London, UK using standardized measures of attitudes and support for human rights. It is hypothesized that religiosity, gender, and country of origin may influence attitudes.
The document summarizes several studies related to body image. It then describes a study conducted by the author that investigated whether 30 participants (15 male, 15 female) found "normal" or "skinny" women to be more attractive. Participants viewed pictures of normal and skinny women and completed a survey. Results showed no gender difference in preferences. Two-thirds found normal women more attractive, though the difference was not significant. Participants did significantly rate normal women as healthier looking. The study had limitations with a small sample size but provides insight into perceptions of attractiveness.
This study was a test of the hypothesis that demographic variables (e.g. gender, education) would predict who would be closed minded about the idea of asexuality as a sexual orientation. The participants received the link to the survey on the researcher’s Facebook page. The survey asked the participants’ awareness of asexuality, educational background, feelings towards the topic of sex, religious background, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and where they were raised. The survey also asked three questions regarding the participants’ beliefs about asexuality as a sexual orientation. The results did show a significant affect on attitudes of gender, and previous education about asexuality. The study also found a strong but not significant relationship between attitudes and religiosity.

Masturbation Practice Among School Adolescents in Makawanpur, NepalRam Prasad Adhikari
This document summarizes a study on masturbation practices among 400 school adolescents in Nepal. The study found that 47.75% of adolescents practiced masturbation. Males were more likely to masturbate than females. The practice varied based on age, sex, religion, caste, and location but not class. Masturbation can cause physiological and psychological problems if done excessively at a young age. Younger adolescents may start masturbating due to curiosity, peer influence, and a lack of guidance. More research is needed on other influences like parental profession and technology accessibility.
The document discusses a study conducted on alcohol consumption among students aged 11-19 at Black River High School. A questionnaire was administered to 30 students to understand factors influencing drinking, effects of alcohol, and ways to reduce consumption. The results showed most students started drinking between ages 11-13 and drank the most between 17-19. Spirit drinking was most common. School performance was most impacted for older grades. Most were open to reducing drinking by avoiding parties and developing new hobbies. The recommendations call for educating youth on risks, limiting social events, and enforcing laws against underage drinking.
The document discusses a student's social studies research project on alcohol abuse among 5th form students at their school.

It then provides the questionnaire to be administered which includes questions about student demographics, alcohol use behaviors, influences, and potential solutions.
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to students at a sixth form college. It includes graphs and explanations of the questions asked about gender, age, year of study, ethnicity, employment status, interests in sports articles, and preferred title for a new student magazine. The majority of participants were 17-year-old females in their second year of study who were not employed. They showed most interest in football/rugby articles and titles involving "The Sixth Page" or "Student Hub" for the magazine. This information will help focus the magazine's content and design.
This document summarizes qualitative research on the college experiences of 5 gay students. It finds their experiences can be understood through a "Five-R Model" involving their sense of root in supportive vs. unsupportive communities, reinforcement or invalidation of their identity, internal revelation about the influence of external perceptions, reasoning about their identity, and potential return to a larger community. It recommends diversity training, addressing discrimination, normalizing LGBT groups, and establishing LGBT mentoring to support gay students.

This study examined the emotional availability between genders through a survey of 99 students. The survey included questions about emotionality, who they confide in, and frequency of positive and negative emotions. Results showed that females were more likely than males to consider themselves emotional, confide in others, and experience positive emotions weekly. Males preferred to keep emotions private and experienced fewer weekly mood changes. This provides evidence that females tend to be more emotionally expressive than males.

The document summarizes a study on gender differences in paranormal investigation. It finds that more women than men participate in paranormal investigation. There are observed biological, sociocultural, and behavioral differences between how men and women approach paranormal investigation. For example, women are more likely to rely on both electronic evidence and human intuition, while men tend to rely more on electronic evidence. The study has limitations due to its small sample size but provides insights into how gender may influence paranormal investigation techniques and interpretations.
Mehta, Sunner, Crosby & Shrier 2011_What is SexClare Mehta
This document summarizes a study that investigated young women's definitions of sex through semi-structured interviews. The study found that young women's definitions of sex varied, with some including oral and anal sex and others not. Participants described factors like time between acts, condom use, and erection as defining separate sex events. Some saw sex beginning with foreplay while others defined it as beginning with vaginal penetration. Views also varied on when sex ended, such as with withdrawal or orgasm. Relationship type influenced some participants' definitions. The study concluded that variations in definitions may impact responses to clinical questions and understanding of STI risk.
This document summarizes research from focus groups exploring using focus groups as a healthy sexuality intervention for gay, bisexual, and queer adolescent males. Four online focus groups over 3 days provided social support and information to increase participants' motivation and skills. Sexually inexperienced participants reported the focus groups helped them feel less alone and reinforced waiting for the right person for sex. Sexually experienced participants said the groups reinforced safe sex practices and made them more open to discussing sexuality. Overall, the focus groups appeared to have a positive effect and further research is warranted to quantify their influence on healthy sexual behaviors.
1) The document discusses gender differences in violations of social norms based on an online survey. It found that women reported breaking social norms more often than men, such as being willing to use the bathroom of the opposite sex or hold hands with a same-sex friend in public.
2) Previous research cited found that women are more likely to seek help for mental health issues due to stronger sense of community and greater social acceptance. Younger children resort to magical explanations for norm violations.
3) The author's survey of 17 females and 24 males about situations like public bathroom use or cutting in line found that women reported more willingness to violate norms, though differences were smaller than expected.
1) The document discusses gender differences in violations of social norms based on an online survey conducted by the author.
2) The survey asked males and females questions about violating social norms such as using the bathroom of the opposite sex, lying to spare feelings, cutting in line, and public displays of same-sex affection.
3) The results showed that females reported being more willing to violate social norms and face potential social stigma compared to males. Examples given were a greater willingness among females to hold hands with a same-sex friend in public.

This study examined dating experiences of online dating users and non-users among college students. The author conducted in-depth interviews with 5 online dating users and 5 non-users at Reinhardt University. The interviews were recorded and themes from the responses were analyzed. Using interviews allowed the author to directly compare experiences of those who do and do not use online dating, but interviews were time-consuming for both the interviewer and interviewees. Overall, the study aimed to expand understanding of individual experiences with online dating.
This document discusses how gender affects parenting and child development. It notes that with more women working, children are spending more time with other caregivers, potentially impacting gender development. The family is the starting point for children to develop gender stereotypes, which can influence later career goals. Parents unconsciously pass on their own views of gender through their interactions with children based on gender. The author conducted a small survey finding mothers spend more time on schoolwork and childcare while fathers were more satisfied with the parent-child relationship, demonstrating how gender influences parenting roles and child development.

The document outlines lighting and acoustics analyses for two spaces - a children's playing area and computer lab - within a community library project. For the children's area, the daylight factor is calculated to be 12.8%, indicating a very bright space with potential glare issues. Perforated shading is proposed. The computer lab's daylight factor of 5.4% provides good lighting. Artificial lighting calculations for both spaces determine the number and layout of light fixtures needed to meet illuminance standards. Acoustic analyses include external noise levels and reverberation times.
This document summarizes a reaction paper about the article "Towards a Critical Regionalism" by Kenneth Frampton. It discusses how Frampton believes architects should consider the characteristics of the land and local climate when designing buildings. The placement of windows and openings can reflect the regional conditions, such as sun paths and wind directions. Using local materials can also express the regional culture through tactile qualities. Overall, critical regionalism is about giving buildings a distinct sense of place through consideration of the site context and local culture rather than creating placeless designs.
The document discusses how architects design buildings to shape the feelings and experiences of users, not just as physical objects. It notes that architects consider how forms, functions, and sensory elements like sound and smell can create different emotions. For example, the sound of falling water may create a relaxing feeling. The document also discusses how famous architect Zaha Hadid analyzes people's lives and environments to design spaces that address what is lacking and shape users' feelings. Finally, it argues that for architecture to be fully appreciated, people must transform their visual experiences of a space into spatial experiences through enjoying the forms and experiencing architecture personally.
This document provides a summary of the book "Semiotics and Architecture" by Diana Agrest and Mario Gandelsonas. It discusses how the book uses semiotics as a tool to break down existing ideologies and create new theories. Specifically, it explains that the book presents a 5-step method - ideology, arbitrary, value, sign, and theory - to challenge norms and think outside the box to address issues. While breaking an ideology is challenging, the outcome is improving solutions and developing new versions of theories that can replace old beliefs over time as eras change and theories may no longer apply.
Jane Jacobs criticized mid-20th century urban planning that diminished street life and sidewalk vitality. She advocated for "four generators of diversity" - mixed primary uses, small blocks, mixed building ages, and high concentration of people and buildings - to generate urban vitality. Diversity, including human, economic, and physical diversity, is key to a vibrant city according to Jacobs. While she makes good observations about street environments with mixed uses attracting continuous activity, increased surveillance is not a fully effective solution for safety and standardizing human behavior risks inefficiency.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the sexual relationship between male and female
within their satisfaction of their partner’s sexual practices. This study sought to determine how
much communication there is in a sexual relationship. The hypothesis of this study stated that in
a sexual relationship, women tend to hide their lack of sexual pleasure more than men. In order
to retrieve this information, a survey was conducted. With this survey of self-reported sexual
satisfaction for both males and females (mean age = 20), we found that the males’ level of sexual
satisfaction is higher than females’. We found that many women fake orgasms to please their
partners, but this may end up having exactly the opposite effect. It means that females are less
open when it comes to communicating what they do not like. However, an open and frank
exchange of feelings during sexual activities will bring about more sexual satisfaction for both
parties. As from our research, most of the males are somewhat satisfied with their sex partner
within their sexual interaction and intercourse. These findings suggest that couples should have
more communication amongst each other to achieve a more satisfied sexual relationship.

Introduction
Mating is a phenomenon that has taken place for eons between not only humans but other
animals. Sex is considered to be a ‘sensitive’ topic to talk about. In many societies, sexual
conversations are tabooed. When children ask about where babies come from, parents tell them
‘fictional stories’ to avoid the truth. It is only recently that schools have implemented sex
education, where children are taught about sex, contraception and reproduction. However it
should be noted, that not all schools teach sex education because it is uncomfortable to talk
about. For this reason, sexual awareness is limited and is learnt through experience and what the
media would like people to believe. However in some societies it is not unheard of, where
friends talk about their sexual experiences amongst each other. This can prove to be beneficial.
According to Chen Lizra in a country such as Cuba, there is no advertising, so there is nothing
that distorts the body image. What attributes what a person feels about sexuality is dependent on
their environment and their home (Lizra, 2013). As a result of the stigma of sex being hard to
talk about, there is a lack of communication between people who are sexually involved. People
therefore hide crucial information that would make their sexual relationships better. Or rely on
unrealistic information acquired from the media.
Sigmund Freud is well-known for his theories in sexology. One of the first theories
Sigmund developed viewed women as men without penises (Cohler & Galatzer-Levy, 2008)
according to early Freudian theory, “since women don’t have a penis, however, they experience
‘penis envy’, which is the jealousy little girls feel towards boys and the resentment towards their
mothers (whom they blame for not having a penis).” (Fraize N., Kerrigan L., McFatridge K.,
Nadifi A., n/a) Sigmund Freud engaged in sexual activities in order to birth to boys to “gain” a
penis. In addition he believed women were sexually passive because they had underdeveloped
superegos. This implies that women are morally inferior to men (Schultz & Schultz, 2009). It is
thoughts such as these that are assumed which result in grey areas when it comes to sex.
This research investigates the struggles people have in communicating what they feel in a sexual
relationship. It further investigates which sex feels the need to hide their lack of sexual pleasure
and the possible reasons as to why such behavior is exercised.

Method
Design
The research was carried out through the use of surveys. The survey aimed to collect
quantitative data which could be analyzed with the aid for numerals and graphs to prove whether
the hypothesis is true. The independent variable in this experiment is the sex of the participants.
The controlled variable is the type of participant taking part in the survey, such that they are
sexually active. There are several dependent variables in this survey which is the sexual activity
of the participants.
Participants
The participants that took place in this research come from a diverse range of ethnic
backgrounds. The research was in the form of a survey. This method was used in order to give
the participants a sense of privacy while obtaining sensitive information about their sexual
experiences. In addition while filling a survey; participants are less likely to give false
information, as a survey does not require the identities of the participants. The participants
targeted for this research were those who are sexually active and who were recently in a
relationship or are currently in a relationship. There are a total of 52 participants that took part in
this research. There were 27 male and 25 female participants.
Apparatus/ Material
This research was carried out over the internet through an online survey form. Through
the internet, participants remain completely anonymous therefore meeting any ethical
requirements. In addition, by doing a survey through the internet, participants are not obligated
in any way to fill the survey if they are not comfortable to do so. The researchers chose this
mode to research to ensure the data retrieved is safe and password protected to ensure all
information is kept in confidence and cannot be misplaced. Social networking site such as
Facebook and Twitter were used to send out the survey. (Refer to appendix)

Procedure
Numerous meetings had been organised by the researchers to discuss and choose the topic of the
survey. Sexual Relationship had been chosen to be the topic after which the researchers thought
of a more in depth research question. A survey was drafted and edited after discussion. There
were 20 questions in the survey. The participants were told of the sensitivity of the survey before
taking the survey, without their consent they could not carry on with the survey. However all
questions were drafted in a way that if the participant did not want to answer a question, they
could skip the question and answer the next.

Discussion
The results indicate that the hypothesis that women tend to hide their lack of sexual
satisfaction more than men. According to the research, 79% of women fake pleasure and an
orgasm whereas only 40% of men have faked pleasure and 28% an orgasm. This could arrguably
be as a result of women being more emotional than men. In order to prevent telling their male
partners that the sexual activity that they are partaking in is not pleasureable for them. Women
empathize with the effect such a comment can have on a man’s ego and just fake pleasure to
keep their partner content. Positive reinforcment is a theory that can be used to justify the
behavior of the participants in their sexual relationships. When faking pleasure and sexual
satisfaction, partners don’t know it is fake and think this is positive feedback. Therefore they
tend do do that very sexual activity which they thought would give sexual satisfaction often.
96% of women could not tell their partners that they are experiencing pain or discomfort
while partaking in sexual activities. In comparisson 36% of males could not tell their partners
that they were experiencing pain or discomfort. The female gentililia is complex in nature. No
two women are alike. It is possible that what might work for one woman may not work for
another. Therefore through past experiences with another partner , trying such activities with a
current partner may prove to be painful and uncomfortable. Another reason why 96% of women
could not tell their partners of their discomfort is because of the lack of foreplay or stimulation of
women. According to the survey most women say that they are sometimes satisfied with the
length of their sexual encounters and stimulation they receive in sexual encounters whereas most
male participants state that they are statisfied with stimulation and the length of their encounters.
Another reason for the lack of pleasure and satisfaction felt by a woman can be a result
of the overjustification hypothesis. This hypothesis states that a persons’ intrinsic interest will
decrease when an external reward is given to a person performing an intrinsically rewarding
activity. If a female was to respond to her partners sexual initiation and as a result she recieves a
reward such as her partner doing more chores. The actual enjoyment for the woman may decline
during the sexual encounter will decline. The woman is now probably going to interpret her
enjoyment as being primarily from the reward. (n/a, 2012)

The media, social pressures and human nature itself have turned finding the ideal partner
a mystery. Being surrounded by manipulated images, celebrities an glossy perfection. Given
rules about dating from books websites and press has pressured people to conform to society.
(Brown, Akingbade McDonnel, 2010) The media targets women more than men . According to
the research, most men are comfortable about their body are their partner as opposed to females.
Self perception theory is associated with situations such as this. ‘Self-perception theory is based
on the premise that people make attributions about their own attitudes, feelings and behaviors by
relying on their observations of external behaviors and the circumstances in which those
behaviors occur’ (Bem, 1965) (n/a, 2012)
Limitations
Just like the Kinsey, Pomeroy and Martin study on sexual behavior, the questionnaire
receive the highest refusal to answer rate (1953). When it comes to women, those who are not
married and have sexual relationships are scared jeoperdize their reputation.
There are several other limitations to this research. While individually going through the
survey, On several occasions participants had and age younger to when they supposedly became
sexually active. For example a surveyor had stated that they were between the age of 18 and 20
but but the age they became sexually active as 23 to 25.
Another limitation was the males who claimed they have had to fake an orgasm. This can
prove to be extremely difficult or untrue. This is because when I male orgasms, he ejaculates.
Therefore to fake an ejaculation can be very tricky. While males can fake pleasure, the results
show that 7 males faked an orgasm. A male orgasm involves ejaculation. Therefore it brings
about the question, how did 7 males fake an orgasm, if an orgasm was faked. This figure could
also mean there was a misunderstanding of the question.
The survey is conducted online. Therefore there is no filter to the people who are filling the
form, or to the amount of times a person can fill the form.

In order to improve this research asignment, when contucting a research, use progams that
restrict a person from filling in the survey twice
Conclusion
Based on the research conducted, males experience more sexual satisfaction than
females. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, sexual communication is not as prevalent as it should
be in order to experience optimum satisfaction during intercourse. Scientifically speaking males
are able to climax easier and faster than women. (Wade, 2013) which could be a reason why
males have more satisfaction than women. However, through the survey it is noticeable that
females do not feel always feel passion in their relationships, they do not feel that their partners
recipocate when they sexually please them and they do not always feel confortable in their own
skin .
