I learned so much from Human Sexuality and today I will be writing my reflection paper and it will entail the course competencies. I will explain and give example for each one. At the end I will offer 10 websites so you can access for further education.
The biological theory will be applied to the development of sexual identity and sexual practices. My knowledge before this was; many different people believe that they had been miss developed and should be a different gender than what they should be and many cultures have their own beliefs of the body sexual orientation. Three examples I learned from this competency are: Ancient Greece has views that the penis is a symbol of fertility, and the male body was admired greatly (The history of sex, …show more content…

For a male they usually have short hair and hairy on the arms, armpits, and sometimes the back and chest; for the female they usually have longer hair. Male are known for being dominate and women used to be considered a housewife who took care of their kids and cleaned the house while the husband worked. Two examples I learned from this competency are: Every March 15th, Japanese town of Komaki has a festival called the penis parade. (Rosenthal, 2013), and the G-spot is the area of the vagina that, when stimulated, produces powerful orgasms and female ejaculation. (Rosenthal, …show more content…

Violent behaviors of sexuality is stuff that involves rape like the date rape drug which shuts your body down so you won't be able to control yourself and you won't remember anything that happen, but you will get the feeling something had happened. Two examples I learned from this competency are: 800,000 people are human trafficked each year (Human Trafficking, 2005) and Sex trafficking is the fastest growing crime category today (Rosenthal, 2013)
What role does hormones have in sexual behavior and sexual study of the brain. Men and women both have a sexual desire, a strong feeling of hormones that gives the body a sex drive. Two examples for this competency are: Men who have hypogonadism produce abnormally low levels of testosterone and generally experience less sexual desires and activities. (Rosenthal, 2013) Testosterone patch treats low sex drive in women. (Rosenthal, 2013)
Study what love is and the growth of sexual appeal. Love is when two couples have romantic feelings for each other. Most culture express their sexual appeal differently and some that I've learned are: Girls of the Kayan tribe wear brass rings around their necks as a sign of elegance and status (Rosenthal, 2013), Scars are beautiful to the Karo tribe (Rosenthal, 2013), and Women of the Maori tribe tattoo their lips and chin. (Rosenthal,

I am beginning to understand true human sexuality. I believe that you know and feel what you are, sexually, at a very young age. There are children who are born intersexed or missing specific organs and their parents struggle to come to terms with options. I also believe that some people are born gay. I’m not sure where bisexuality, pansexuality, and polysexuality come from thus far.

The supplemental reading, Charting Sexuality and Stopping Sin by Andrew Reeves, describes the clash between chastity encouraged through Christendom against sexual liberation with nuanced language. Reeves has several references to themes, terms, and figures from the textbook, Bennett and Bardsley, Medieval Europe: A Short History that is traced throughout the reading. First, there are themes from Medieval Europe that are attributed to Reeves’ work. In chapter 9, Popes and the Papacy discuss the importance of the new Church rule of priestly celibacy being firmly established.

Anything in relation to sexuality will always be controversial. There will always be different opinions, outcomes and even consequences towards sex related topics. I want to first investigate the key concepts and beneficial outcomes of the website by analyzing a three-way article review by Zoe Grimm, Kit Bangles and Karly Kingsley. These three women of the Vodka Press are known for their personal-oriented blogs and podcast who decided to personally experiment and critique MakeLoveNotPorn. “I applaud MLNP’s ideology, to be “of the people, by the people, and for the people who believe that the sex we have in our everyday life is the hottest sex there is.”

Sexual behavior has been evolving ever since it was first introduced to the society. Decades ago, sexual behavior was not seen and/or taken as serious as it is now. In addition, several acts that are now seen as grotesque, were once seen as something normal before. It is very significant to understand the historical context of the social perception of sexual behavior because of the way it is perceived now. The past “normal” acts depended on the acceptance of the society and the political ideologies.

For Goodness Sex, by Al Vernacchio, is a welcome relief from the two previous books; Girls & Sex and Man Interrupted, as the focus is about sexuality as a whole; gender, sexual orientation, etc., rather than on the culture of females and males. In a chapter titled “Gender Myths,” Vernacchio (2014) asks the question, “male and female, is that all there is” (Vernacchio, A., p. 112, 2014)? In teaching his class on Sexuality and Society, Vernacchio asks these questions and questions similar, demonstrating that he takes into consideration that there are feelings at stake and keeps in mind the human aspect of sex and sexuality as he is intentionally behind challenging students to foresee and develop their sense of values about sex, instead of constantly being “in the moment.”

Gender is it a concept or is it made apparent by our DNA when you are born or does it change as you grow older? Often gender is something that society defines at birth. According to society certain gender roles are pre established when we are born. The majority of society believes that if you are born to a specific gender you should adhere to the gender roles while other people believe that instead we may be born to a gender but it does not always decide if you are that gender. Science has proven that just because you are born a male or female does not mean that you mentally see yourself as that gender.

According to sexologists John Money and Anke Ehrhardt, sex and gender are separate categories. “Sex, they argued, refers to physical attributes and is anatomically and physiologically determined. Gender they saw as a psychological transformation - the internal conviction that one is either male or female (gender identity) and the behavioral expressions of that conviction” (Sterling 4). Although there are biological differences between the two sexes, but gender roles are socially constructed. They determine how males and females should think, speak, dress, behave and interact with society.

In the novel Brave New World, author Aldous Huxley links sexual promiscuity and happiness by utilizing diction and imagery, proving that the only link sexual promiscuity has towards happiness is that it promotes a false sense of happiness.

Understanding gender and sexuality as socially constructed categories is important because it helps people understand a certain group. Gender and sexuality is expressed in many categories and people must be careful not to mix people in the wrong category. Simply because one expresses their sexuality different from another person does not mean they should be bashed or treated differently. Sometimes it does not matter what you identify as, who you identify with, people will always judge you, so its best people just do what they want. Putting gender in a category helps others not stereotype them as something they are not.

PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT This is an assignment given in Adolescence and Learning to explore Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual theory of development. This theory describes how the personality is developed over the course of childhood through various fixations at each stage. The five stages are oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. Each of the psychosexual stages is associated with a particular conflict that must be resolved before the individual can successfully advance to the next stage (McLeod, 2008). According to Freud, a person who successfully completes these stages forms a successful and healthy personality whereas if certain conflicts are not resolved at the appropriate stage fixations occurs which result in failure
