Primordial gonads can develop into either testes or ovaries. Hormones involved in sex differentiation: testosterone, estrogen Reproductive Development Male Reproductive Organs: Testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate. Testosterone increases, leading to growth of testes, penis, and the development of facial/body hair. Female Reproductive Organs: Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina. Estrogen increases, leading to breast development, the onset of menstruation, and widening of hips. Disease associated with the Reproductive System Neoplasm -a new and abnormal growth of tissue in some part of the body, especially as a characteristic of cancer. Female: Tumors in breast and Cervical Cancer Male: Prostate Cancer Disease associated with the Reproductive System Menopause As estrogen production declines, ovulation becomes irregular and menstrual periods become scanty and shorter in length. Other consequences of decreased estrogen; Irritability mood changes (Depression in some) Erogenous Zone Erogenous-sexual excitement Erogenous regions-parts of the body that may excite sexual feelings Lips, Genitals, Breasts Male and female bodies undergo a process known as VASCONGESTION 2 Types of Human Sexual Behavior Sociosexual behavior refers to how people express their sexuality and interact with others in romantic or sexual contexts. It includes behaviors related to forming relationships, flirting, dating, and sexual activity. Some people may prefer to engage in casual sexual encounters without emotional commitment, while others may only want sexual intimacy within serious relationships. 2 Types of Human Sexual Behavior Solitary behavior refers to actions or activities that a person does alone, without the company of others. This can include things like reading, walking, playing a game, or any other activity where the person is by themselves. Some animals also exhibit solitary behavior, meaning they prefer to live and hunt alone rather than in groups. Nervous system factor Sexual response involve the entire nervous system. The autonomic system controls the involuntary response while the afferent cerebrospinal nerves carry the sensory message to the brain and the spinal cord serves as a great transmission cable. Physiological Sexual problem A physiological sexual problem is when a person has difficulty with sexual activity because something in their body isn't working as it should. These issues can affect things like sexual desire, arousal, or the ability to have sex. Physiological Sexual problem For example: For men, this might include problems like erectile dysfunction (trouble getting or keeping an erection). For women, it might include problems like vaginal dryness that makes sex uncomfortable. Physiological Sexual problem For example: For men, this might include problems like erectile dysfunction (trouble getting or keeping an erection).

They are spread mainly by sexual contact. STIs are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. A sexually transmitted infection may pass from person to person in blood, semen, or vaginal and other bodily fluids. Sexually Transmitted Diseases STD's are caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

It can be treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, it can cause serious health problems, like infertility. Sexually Transmitted Diseases Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. It can infect the genitals, throat, or rectum. When symptoms appear, they may include painful urinatio, unusual discharge from the genitals, or pain in the lower abdomen. Sexually Transmitted Diseases Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. It develops in stages, and each stage has different symptoms. Sexually Transmitted Diseases First stage: You may get a painless sore, usually on the genitals, mouth, or rectum. Second stage: You might have skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes, or feel like you have the flu. Latent stage: No symptoms, but the infection is still in your body. Late stage: If untreated, syphilis can cause serious health problems, like damage to your heart, brain, or other organs. Sexually Transmitted Diseases First stage: You may get a painless sore, usually on the genitals, mouth, or rectum.

There are many types of HPV, and some can cause health problems, like warts or even certain cancers (like cervical cancer). Most people with HPV don’t have symptoms, so they might not know they have it. Sexually Transmitted Diseases Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a virus that causes infections, often leading to sores or blisters. There are two types: HSV-1 usually causes cold sores around the mouth. HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes, which appears as sores or blisters around the genital area. Herpes spreads through skin-to-skin contact, such as kissing or sexual activity. Sexually Transmitted Diseases Trichomonas vaginalis is a type of parasite that causes a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) known as trichomoniasis. It mainly affects women, but men can get it too. Sexually Transmitted Diseases People with trichomoniasis might experience symptoms like: Itching or irritation in the genital area Unusual discharge (yellow-green and frothy in women) Pain during urination or sex  Natural Method Abstinence Calendar Method  Natural Method Cervical Mucus Method  Artificial Method Contraceptives Transdermal patch  Artificial Method Vaginal Ring Subdermal implant  Artificial Method Hormonal injections Intrauterine Device  Artificial Method Cervical Cup Male Condoms  Artificial Method Female Condoms Surgical methods
