The Effect Of Mood On Sexuality

437 Words2 Pages

The three researchers doing the survey study "Individual Differences in the Effect of Mood on Sexuality: The Revised Mood and Sexuality Questionnaire (MSQ-R) (CITE)
Set out to determine if there is an effect on sexual desire or arousal; through positive or negative mood. The participants in this study were broken up into three groups, 632 Heterosexual men, 422 Homosexual men, and 929 Heterosexual women.(CITE). This survey study was based on a previous survey called the MSQ (CITE). The survey focused on these moods and their positive or negative affect on sexual desire/response.(CITE) Due to the fact that there is a lot of variability coming into effect here the results for this original questionnaire were pretty broad.
The MSQ-R takes many more factors into account for example the four moods in the MSQ were used as well as whether or not the participant was in a general positive or negative mood.(CITE). The revisited questionnaire takes the desire to masturbate into effect as well instead of just the desire to be with a partner. Another variability taken into account was how sexual intercourse effects the mood (CITE). Intercourse usually relieves stress and therefore can turn a negative mood into a positive mood, and this may increase desire for some while in a negative mood in order to cheer up so to speak. …show more content…

We know this because the participants mood comes before their changing of sexual desire or arousal. The revised 30 question survey came up with many very interesting results for example, straight men and homosexual men were more likely to have an increase in sexual arousal and desire than straight women when anxious or stressed

Jack Lord Of The Flies Symbolism Essay

576 Words | 3 Pages

In my project, I depicted the symbolism of Jack and the pig in William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies. In the beginning, Jack names himself a hunter; this illustrates the savage side of human nature. As the novel continues, and the desire to hunt and kill increases, and Jack finds himself not only a hunter but also feeling like he is being hunted. This change represents how fear overpowers hope and fuels the dominance of savagery. In the end of the novel, Jack turns from hunting pigs to hunting Ralph.

American Hookup Culture

1332 Words | 6 Pages

Emotionless sex is not possible and yet so many students believe it is. While many truly enjoy their sexual activity, they are only in the minority. The hookup culture values men more so than women when it comes to needs and desires. However, to say that men are happy in the hookup culture is wrong. The hookup culture applauds masculine behavior and seeks to remove caring, affectionate, and loving behavior, yet so many of Wade’s students have reported that they want “meaningful connections with others” (Wade 245).

It is very significant to understand the historical context of the social perception of sexual behavior because of the way it is perceived now.

Furthermore, it was very beneficial for the researchers to evaluate the LHSV as the method to gather the required information. The survey consisted of twelve questions that were descriptive and direct; which, offered “Yes” or “No” answers and multiple choice questions (option of three responses). I feel the design of the survey was carefully created to help the veterans fully understand the questions and answer them to the best of their ability. Although I admired these dynamics in the study, the external validity I feel was below average. Since this was one of the first studies to compare health behaviors with mental illness among the veterans, the study is based on one type of population; which, results do not represent the entire community of individuals that have BPD.
