Study Notes
Understanding Human Sexual Response
- Media portrays the concepts of sex, lust, and desire in various forms, potentially generating confusion for viewers lacking media literacy skills.
- In the context of relationships, the concept of love is often intertwined with sex, and science attempts to explain the phenomenon of falling in love, though it hasn't identified a definitive cause.
- Three stages of romantic love outlined by Fisher include: lust, attraction, and attachment, each associated with distinct brain chemicals and effects.
- Maintaining the chemistry of love requires effort, consistency, and commitment, including pursuing shared new activities and physical touch.
- To maintain the chemistry of love, couples should seek out new experiences together, such as trying different foods, watching new movies, engaging in new hobbies, or traveling to new places.
- According to Maslar, a woman should agree to have sex with her partner after he demonstrates commitment to the relationship, ideally not on the first date.
- Neuroscience supports the concept of commitment as foundational for a healthy and long-lasting relationship.
Sexual Response Cycles
- Two renowned linear models for sexual response cycles are: Masters and Johnson's and Kaplan's.
- Masters and Johnson's model includes four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
- Kaplan's model has three phases: desire, excitement, and orgasm
Diversity of Sexual Orientation
- Sexual orientation encompasses sexual preferences towards males, females, or both.
- During puberty, secondary sex characteristics develop, including breasts in females and facial hair in males.
- Adolescence marks a period of rapid brain development, with the emotional region maturing before the area responsible for rational thought.
Challenges in Adolescence
- Emotional sensitivity in adolescence can lead to challenges in transitioning to adulthood and handling sexual maturity.
- Stress, sadness, shame, low self-esteem, and unmet expectations can culminate in depression.
- Untreated depression poses risks of mental instability and even suicide.
- Statistics indicate that young men are more likely to engage in criminal behavior during adolescence, with peak activity occurring around age 17.
Erogenous Zones
- Knowledge of erogenous zones is important for both sexual excitement and protection against sexual violence.
- Stimulation of erogenous zones elicits automatic sensations of pleasure.
