Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior
Author: Peter B. Gray
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674074394
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Few things come more naturally to us than sex—or so it would seem. Yet to a chimpanzee, the sexual practices and customs we take for granted would appear odd indeed. He or she might wonder why we bother with inconveniences like clothes, why we prefer to make love on a bed, and why we fuss so needlessly over privacy. Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior invites us into the thought-experiment of imagining human sex from the vantage point of our primate cousins, in order to underscore the role of evolution in shaping all that happens, biologically and behaviorally, when romantic passions are aroused. Peter Gray and Justin Garcia provide an interdisciplinary synthesis that draws on the latest discoveries in evolutionary theory, genetics, neuroscience, comparative primate research, and cross-cultural sexuality studies. They are our guides through an exploration of the patterns and variations that exist in human sexuality, in chapters covering topics ranging from the evolution of sex differences and reproductive physiology to the origins of sexual play, monogamous unions, and the facts and fictions surrounding orgasm. Intended for generally curious readers of all stripes, this up-to-date, one-volume survey of the evolutionary science of human sexual behavior explains why sexuality has remained a core fascination of human beings throughout time and across cultures.

Book Description
¿Tiene dificultad al tratar con su hijo adolescente el tema de la castidad? Endodoncia. Embotellamiento vial. Esperar su turno en fila para renovar su licencia de conducir. Usted probablemente podría hacer una lista del tamaño del directorio telefónico de actividades que preferiría estar haciendo en vez de hablar con sus hijos adolescentes sobre el sexo. Pero en la cultura de hoy, ¿quién se puede arriesgar a formar hijos sin la verdad sobre la sexualidad humana? Con la “pornificación” de todo desde la ropa de moda para adolescentes hasta los comerciales que pasan en la televisión, ¿quién puede correr el riesgo de no revelarles a los chicos la realidad sobre la sexualidad humana? Como educadores principales de sus hijos, es su derecho y su obligación asegurarse de que sus hijos estén prevenidos y preparados para tratar con el sexo opuesto de una manera católica y resistir la visión falsa del mundo secular. En Formando Adolescentes Puros, reconocidos conferencistas sobre el tema de la castidad, Jason Evert y Chris Stefanick, incorporan la sabiduría de la Iglesia con 10 estrategias comprobadas para hablar con los adolescentes sobre la castidad. Ellos ofrecen una combinación perfecta de humor y seriedad, historias reales y comparaciones metafóricas, ciencia moderna y lógica innegable. Una vez que lea Formando Adolescentes Puros, usted se dará cuenta que no está solo en el trabajo de acercar estas bellas verdades a sus hijos adolescentes – y no estará solo al ayudarles a implementar estas enseñanzas en sus propias vidas.

Destape
Author: Natalia Milanesio
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822987147
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Under dictatorship in Argentina, sex and sexuality were regulated to the point where sex education, explicit images, and even suggestive material were prohibited. With the return to democracy in 1983, Argentines experienced new freedoms, including sexual freedoms. The explosion of the availability and ubiquity of sexual material became known as the destape, and it uncovered sexuality in provocative ways. This was a mass-media phenomenon, but it went beyond this. It was, in effect, a deeper process of change in sexual ideologies and practices. By exploring the boom of sex therapy and sexology; the fight for the implementation of sex education in schools; the expansion of family planning services and of organizations dedicated to sexual health care; and the centrality of discussions on sexuality in feminist and gay organizations, Milanesio shows that the destape was a profound transformation of the way Argentines talked, understood, and experienced sexuality, a change in manners, morals, and personal freedoms.

Hermaphroditism, Medical Science and Sexual Identity in Spain, 18501960
Author: Richard Cleminson
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 0708322794
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This is the first book in English to analyse the medical category of 'hermaphroditism' in Spain over the period 1850-1960. It attempts to show how the relationship between the male and female body, biological 'sex', gender and sexuality constantly changed in the light of emerging medical, legal and social influences. Tracing the evolution of the hermaphrodite from its association with the 'marvellous' to the association with intersexuality and transexuality, this book emphasizes how the frameworks employed by scientists and doctors reflected not only changing international paradigms with respect to 'hermaphrodite science' but also social anxieties about shifting gender roles, the evolving discourse on sexuality and, in particular, the increased visibility of the 'sexual deviancies' such as homosexuality and changing legislation on marriage and divorce. Finally, we hope to open a space whereby the voice of 'hermaphrodites' and 'intersexuals' themselves could be heard in the past as agents in the construction of their own destiny as figures deemed 'in-between' by medicine and society.

Sexual Dysfunction
Author: Olivier Berend
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9535132636
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Sexual dysfunctions have a high prevalence in males and females, and an increase in research into its backgrounds, causes and treatment is clearly visible. Characterization of sexual dysfunctions is complex and often needs extensive clinical, psychological and psychiatric expertise to arrive at reliable diagnoses. The present volume illustrates various aspects involved in sexual (dys)functioning but also the complexity of the field. Premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, female interest/arousal disorder, hypogonadism, sexual side effects of antidepressants and circumcision are subject of the various contributions. The topics treated nicely illustrate the problems associated with sexual function and dysfunction, including lifestyle, biological, mental, sociocultural and religious aspects. The topics in this volume clearly demonstrate the importance of research on sexual functions and dysfunctions.
