Study Notes
Human Sexual Behavior
- Human sexual behavior encompasses any activity inducing sexual arousal, from solo to group activities.
- Types of behaviors: Solitary (self-stimulation) and sociosexual (primarily heterosexual interactions, often starting in childhood).
Physiology of Sexual Response
- Excitement Phase: Increased pulse, blood pressure, and blood flow to skin.
- Plateau Phase: Brief phase that can lead to orgasm with continued stimulation.
- Sexual Climax: Intense pleasure with physiological changes, typically lasting ten seconds.
- Resolution Phase: Return to normal state after arousal.
Nervous System and Sexual Response
- Sexual response is deeply connected to nervous system activity, including a reflex response.
Sexual Problems
- Physiological: Arising from abnormal genital development or neurophysiology.
- Psychological: Due to social inhibitions, maladaptive attitudes, and sexual myths.
- Social: Stemming from societal pressures, cultural norms, and lack of education.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- Common STDs include: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chancroid, HPV, Herpes Simplex Virus, Trichomonas Vaginalis.
Physical and Sexual Self
- Biological Sex: Determined by sex chromosomes, influencing development and behavior from early childhood. Some individuals may alter sexual characteristics medically.
- Reproductive System: Gonads start forming around 8 weeks of pregnancy; transitioning to distinctive characteristics.
- Reproductive Issues: Infections common in women–young, elderly, immunocompromised–from bacteria, STDs, and yeast.
- Erogenous Zones: Areas like mouth, breasts, genitals, and anus are known to increase sexual arousal when stimulated.
Contraception Methods
Natural Methods
- Abstinence: Avoiding sexual intercourse.
- Calendar Method: Tracking menstrual cycles.
- Basal Body Temperature: Monitoring temperature changes.
- Cervical Mucus Method: Observing changes in cervical mucus.
- Symptothermal Method: Combining multiple fertility tracking methods.
- Ovulation Detection: Using tests for ovulation.
- Coitus Interruptus: Withdrawal before ejaculation.
Artificial Methods
- Oral Contraceptives: Prevent ovulation.
- Transdermal Patch: Hormone-releasing skin patch.
- Vaginal Ring: Hormone-releasing ring.
- Subdermal Implants: Hormone-releasing implants.
- Hormonal Injections: Hormones injected.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD): Prevent fertilization and implantation.
- Chemical Barriers: Sperm-killing chemicals (spermicides).
- Diaphragm and Cervical Cap: Blocks sperm entry.
- Male and Female Condoms: Prevent sperm from reaching egg.
- Surgical Methods: Permanent sterilization (vasectomy/tubal ligation).
