Study Notes

Sexual Self

After conception, male and female sex organs begin to develop
Female sex is considered "fundamental" because if a particular chemical prompt is absent, all fertilized eggs will develop into females
The first external signs of puberty in females include breast development, while in males, height increases, the body changes, and fat and muscle tissue develop
The five stages of puberty are similar for both sexes, including breast growth and enlargement, and the development of pubic hair

Sexual Response

The prepuce is the retractable fold of skin covering the tip of the penis
The penis is a male sexual organ involved in copulation and for discharging urine and semen
Erogenous zones are highly sensitive areas of the body that can trigger pleasure and arousal
The clitoris is a small, sensitive sexual organ located in front of the vaginal opening
Labia minora are two flaps of skin that are located inside the labia majora
The labia majora are fleshy lips that surround the vagina
The vaginal introitus is the opening that leads to the vaginal canal
The hymen is a membrane that partially covers the external vaginal opening
Masters and Johnson conducted groundbreaking research on sexual response, dysfunction, and disorders

Understanding the Chemistry of Love, Lust, and Attachment

Three stages of falling in love according to Helen Fisher: Lust, Attraction, and Attachment
Lust is marked by physical attraction, driven by sex hormones
Attraction is the romantic phase, characterized by increased dopamine and norepinephrine
Attachment involves feelings of intimacy and commitment, driven by oxytocin and vasopressin
Sexual Desire: complex psychological experience that is independent of hormonal factors
Spontaneous Desire: Feeling a craving to engage in sexual activity without much stimuli
Responsive Desire: Needing more affection and sensual touch to initiate sexual activity
