ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Media play a large role in the formation of our identities and norms. Media help to shape how we think of ourselves, and others, in terms of gender, class, and race. Media also help to create and dictate societal norm, including norms about sexuality (Kellner, 2003). From media, we learn what is "normal" (Chapter 15), what we "should" desire, and what to buy—or buy into—in order to achieve the most satisfaction and normalcy. The idea Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

of what is "good" and what is "bad" is a social construction, and much of this social construction is created through media. Sometimes media are blatantly obvious in their intentions, but many times messages are conveyed through subtle advertising (Figure 1.1). What is portrayed in media does not necessarily reflect the reality of society; however, the ways in which characters are developed, plots played out, and topics focused on (or not) certainly provide insight into underlying attitudes about sexuality and LGBTQ+ individuals.

2. A good response will discuss at least two confounding factors. One is that it is difficult to know whether children's self-reports were accurate; some may falsely claim not to see sex in the media for fear of getting in trouble, or some may falsely claim to have seen sexually explicit material in order to seem "mature." Another confound is that whether children have or have not seen sexually explicit material is not random and that factors such as parenting styles or religious beliefs may determine both whether a child has seen sexually explicit material and may influence what the child deems appropriate sexual behaviour. Thus, it would be difficult to conclude that views of appropriate sexual behaviour were "caused" by viewing or not viewing the sexually explicit material.

3. Research into the effect of sex on consumer behaviour has produced mixed results. In some cases sexual material has no impact on the ability of the consumer to remember a product's name if the product is not sex related (e.g., Severn, Belch, and Belch (1990)) which suggests that sex may not help sales, but in other cases, such as Gallup Research (2012), consumers were found to be 77 per cent better at recalling a product's name if sex was used in the advertising, regardless of what the product was. It seems reasonable to conclude that sex can impact a consumer's behaviour but that it is not guaranteed to affect a consumer's behaviour.

4. This development has led to the need for a variety of parental control features to help parents monitor the content that their children access online. The proliferation of online chat sites, message boards, role-playing systems (e.g. Second Life), and social networking sites (e.g. Facebook) has inadvertently provided sexual predators with a ripe new hunting ground for young victims. As a result, entirely new divisions of law enforcement have emerged to focus specifically on sex crimes facilitated by the Internet. The Internet has also played a positive role in promoting healthy, safe, and diverse human sexuality and behaviour. For example, the Internet has become a source of accessible sex education, has contributed to the normalizing of sexuality and diverse sexual identities, and has provided a new means of meeting potential partners.

5. Although the advent of the Internet has provided access of explicit sexual material and vulnerability of young people whose parents do not employ parental controls, the general consensus is that the overall impact of the Internet on sexual health has been positive. The Internet has had a particularly positive impact on facilitating the development of relationships between people in marginalized sexual groups such as members of the LGBTQ+ community.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. A therapist can ask an individual to think about the unwanted fetish until he or she becomes sexually aroused, and then, once the individual is aroused, present him or her with an unpleasant stimulus (e.g., ammonia) or encourage him or her to think about unpleasant consequences such as incarceration. Ideally the individual will learn to associate the fetish with unpleasant emotions and the urge to seek out the fetish item will be reduced.

2. Bem's hypothesis is known as "exotic becomes erotic." In his hypothesis, some children choose to play with children of the opposite sex, making children of the same sex seem "exotic" and unfamiliar. These exotic same-sex peers become a source of non-specific arousal, which is then interpreted as erotic and/or romantic attraction. The non-specific arousal is linked to the same-sex peer and through the process of classical conditioning, the same-sex peer eventually becomes a source of sexual arousal.

3. Males do not need to invest much energy to pass on their genes. However, there are two different ways to ensure that those genes are passed on to future generations. A male can either reproduce with many females, knowing there is a high probability that at least some offspring will survive, or a male can produce fewer offspring but participate in protecting those offspring, ensuring that his genes are passed on that way.

4. The only gender difference that the researchers observed was in the terminology that (some) men used to refer to various sexual relationships. Men in the male-only group mentioned terms like dick 'em and dump 'em, hit it and quit it, and use 'em and lose 'em, whereas these terms were not mentioned by participants in the female-only group or the co-ed groups. In regard to the themes that were identified, there were no gender differences, and both genders identified the specific components that differentiate these casual sexual relationships—namely, frequency of contact, type of contact (sexual and/or social), personal disclosure, discussion of the relationship, and friendship. According to SST, one would expect that women view casual sex differently than men do. Yet Wentland and Reissing's study found that both male and female participants in all four groups were able to discuss the various scripts associated with each type of casual sexual relationship. Thus, women may not be assessing their casual sexual partners based on the immediate resources they supply (as predicted by SST), such as payment for dinner or tangible gifts; rather, they are more likely to assess these partners for their ability to engage in satisfactory sexual activity.

5. Theory makes it possible for us to formally talk about sexuality and explain otherwise intensely personal or even secret physical and emotional events. Thanks to theory, things that are often considered taboo and that may elicit uncomfortable laughter can actually be researched and discussed in an academic manner. Theory also guides how researchers examine a topic, facilitates researchers' interpretation of results, and helps researchers come up with predictions, or hypotheses, that can then be tested through experimentation. Human sexual development, sexual identity, and sexual behaviours are very complex, universal human phenomena that are affected by biology, culture, thinking, learning, feeling, and an individual's particular history and circumstance.

6. Social exchange theory describes how, in any relationship, people try to maximize rewards and minimize costs.

The theory is based on four components: the balance of costs and rewards, equity/equality, comparison level, and comparison level for alternatives (Byers & Wang, 2004). Within this theory, comparison level refers to what a person expects to get out of the relationship in comparison to what she or he puts into it, and comparison level for alternatives refers to how a person feels about the current relationship compared to other available options.

7. The dual control model of sexuality, developed by John Bancroft and Erick Janssen (2000) at the Kinsey Institute, suggests that each person's sexual responses involve an interaction between sexual excitatory and sexual inhibitory neurobiological processes. These processes have developed in human beings in response to

Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

evolutionarily adaptive pressures. It is a promising attempt to combine biological and psychological factors in a unified theory of sexuality. Researchers and clinicians are beginning to explore the clinical usefulness of the theory in relation to a variety of sexual problems (Bancroft, 2009).

8. A theory based on the idea that our social interactions tend to follow, or are at least heavily influenced by, predefined, culturally recognizable sequences of behaviours. Examples will vary.

9. Bandura's term of self-efficacy can be applied as sexual self-efficacy, which refers to the level that one is sexually competent and capable. High levels of sexual self-efficacy have been associated with positive sexual adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Furthermore, those with low levels of sexual self-efficacy may have a risk of developing an impairment of sexual response.

10. In terms of operant conditioning, sex is both a primary reinforcer and a behaviour that can be shaped by rewards and punishments. A primary reinforcer is a powerful reward that is intrinsically satisfying. According to operant conditioning, sex is an innate phenomenon, but also something that can be learned.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Four major difficulties include finding research participants willing to talk about their sexuality and sexual behaviour, using a random sample of people from the whole population of interest to the researcher, finding

Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

methodologies that participants are comfortable with, and ensuring that research remains bias-free.

2. Responder bias: participants responding in a way they feel the researcher will see as socially acceptable; can be prevented by framing research so that the respondent feels that all behaviours are acceptable.

Memory bias: results from cognitive processes interfering with accurate recall of events; can be reduced by using direct observation to gather data about a subject.

Theoretical bias: a researcher observes and interprets actions that support their own theoretical point of view; this is a specific type of interpretation bias and can be reduced by researchers clearly defining concepts by operationalizing them before conducting the research.

Interpretation bias: results from people inferring things about behaviour because of their own personal beliefs; can be reduced by having clear operational definitions of behaviours.

3. The causal relationship between vasocongestion and the amount of light that gets reflected has yet to be conclusively proven and increases in VPA do not always correlate with self-reported "subjective" sexual arousal and some researchers have suggested that other physiological factors may affect the amount of reflected light. In efforts to improve upon the limitations of vaginal photoplethysmography, theoretically, methods based on more direct measures of blood flow should provide superior measures of female sexual arousal. Examples include Doppler ultrasonography and labial thermistor methodologies.

4. One flaw is that Dr. Franco does not include a control condition of non-erotic stimuli. It is possible that merely watching the images activated those areas of the brain. A second problem is that some brain activity changes may be the result of autonomic arousal in general, but not specific to sexual arousal. A solution to these problems would be to include a control condition where neutral images are shown and brain blood flow activity in that condition is compared to brain blood flow activity while the participant is looking at erotic images.

5. Human sexuality studies can be challenging to conduct for a number of reasons. For one thing, given the highly sensitive nature of the subject matter, researchers may have difficulty finding participants who are willing to openly and honestly disclose their thoughts and feelings about their sexual experiences. This problem becomes even more pronounced when the researcher is interested in understanding a population of individuals who have difficulty with sexuality, which is often the case in clinical research. Perhaps even more difficult than finding willing participants is finding interested participants who are representative of the entire population that the researchers are interested in studying. A related challenge is representing the types of people who are disinclined to volunteer to participate in sexuality research, as there is evidence that individuals who are willing to participate in sexuality research differ in important ways from individuals who are unwilling to participate (Strassberg & Lowe, 1995). Another challenge is finding a research method that participants will not find intimidating. In addition, it may be difficult for the research to remain free of bias.

6. Definition: summarizing patterns in attitudes toward sex and sexual behaviours; generally used in qualitative research, but can also be used in quantitative research. Strengths: enables researchers to uncover detailed descriptions that reflect the richness of individuals' lived experiences. Weaknesses: results are not usually generalizable; cannot be used to prove causation or relationships among variables.

Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Stage 1: Excitement; characterized by vasocongestion in both males and females.

Stage 2: Plateau; heart rate, blood pressure, and myotonia increase in both sexes, testicular engorgement and elevation become more pronounced in males, and the uterus becomes increasingly elevated in females.

Stage 3: Orgasm; the briefest stage, characterized by muscle spasms in both males and females and ejaculation in males.

Stage 4: Resolution; sexual organs return to their unaroused state.

2. Males usually experience a refractory period, which can last from a few minutes to days. The length of time depends on many factors, such as age (younger men have shorter refractory periods than older men do) and frequency of previous sexual activity (the less frequent, the shorter the refractory period). Females, on the other hand, do not have a refractory period and can more readily experience multiple orgasms. Masters and Johnson (1966) found that orgasms that occur in close succession to one another do not differ physiologically from one another, although the second and subsequent ones typically require less stimulation than the first.

3. Answers will vary but examples include the following: 1. The ovaries are similar to the testes.

2. The Skene's glands are similar to the prostate.

3. The clitoris is similar to the glans of the penis.

4. Proponents of routine circumcision have documented health benefits including the following: a decrease in the incidence of infant and childhood urinary tract infections, a decrease in some sexually transmitted infections (including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS), a decrease in the incidence of adult penile cancer, and a decrease in genital wart infections (Dickerman, 2007). In addition, circumcision can prevent or correct a painful condition called phimosis, in which the penile foreskin is too tight to retract. Other proponents support it because of religious doctrine.

Those who oppose routine circumcision, however, indicate that the procedure entails a number of risks, including hemorrhage, infection, shock, penile mutilation, and psychological trauma; in rare cases, death can also occur. In addition, the procedure is painful. Male infants circumcised without anesthetic were found to exhibit heightened pain responses to vaccinations four to six months post-circumcision.

5. First, pubic hair is believed to play a role in sexual communication through pheromonal signalling, by helping to dissipate volatile compounds (Pagel & Bodmer, 2003). Second, it is assumed to provide protective padding during the friction of intercourse (Ramsey, Sweeney, Fraser, & Oades, 2009). Third, it visually signals sexual maturity. Despite these functions, women have been removing their pubic hair since at least the times of ancient Egypt and Greece, when a lack of pubic hair was likely considered sexually attractive.

6. The hymen and its rupture at first intercourse are a controversial topic. In some cultures that condemn coital sex before marriage, the presence of an intact hymen has been taken as sole evidence of virginity, over and above the word of the woman. As such, some future husbands insist on a pelvic examination to "prove" the woman's virginity before marriage. In some countries, some women seek hymenoplasty, or hymen reconstruction surgery, to hide the fact they no longer have an intact hymen.

7. In general, sexual response decreases with age. Arousal takes longer and the intensity of all aspects of one's sexual response is dampened. In females, the amount of vaginal lubrication is reduced and the walls of the vagina become less flexible. In males, erections take longer to occur and require more stimulation, and the degree of Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

firmness is less than it is in younger males.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) play major roles in reproduction.

In females, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of the Graafian follicle and induces enzymes that are required to convert androstenedione to estradiol. LH acts on the cells of the ovary to stimulate the synthesis of steroid hormones, notably androstenedione.

LH is also critical for ovulation, as an LH surge is necessary for rupture of the follicle that contains the egg, and it stimulates the growth of the corpus luteum.

In males, LH activates sperm-producing cells in the testes and the growth of the testes, while FSH plays an important role in driving the early stages of spermatogenesis.

2. Many women tend to report negative mood more commonly during the luteal phase than during the follicular phase or ovulation. Indeed, some mood-related disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), have been named in relation to phases of the menstrual cycle.

Depression and anxiety can affect desire for, performance of, and experience of sex. Despite reports of a link between menstrual phase and self-reported mood, however, a direct relationship between ovarian hormones and mood is not well established, even in cases of PMDD. For example, studies on the effects of hormones on mood in postmenopausal women have revealed contradictory results: estrogen administration has been shown to reduce, increase, or have no significant effect on negative mood. Progesterone has also been proposed as a treatment, but it has been found to be ineffective for premenstrual mood disturbances. In other studies of randomly recruited, non-help-seeking women, no correspondence was observed between either menstrual phase or ovarian steroids and mood. Rather, it was psychosocial factors—stress and physical health—that were highly correlated with mood. There is no doubt, however, that many women do suffer cyclic mood changes that can significantly impair their quality of life.

3. In Western cultures gender is assumed to be present at birth, so gender is not made but "born." In West African culture gender is assumed to be "made" because children are supposedly born able to assume either gender. The males have the female foreskin that must be removed and the females have the male clitoris that must be removed.

4. In humans, pheromones are produced by apocrine glands, primarily in the axilla (armpit) and pubic areas that become active with puberty. The synthesis of pheromones in both women and men is controlled by androgens.

One way that pheromones from one person can affect the behaviour of another is the phenomenon of one woman's pheromones affecting the menstrual cycle of another woman. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) compounds convey genetic information about a female, which may make her more appealing to genetically compatible males.

5. In men, testosterone levels decline with age, which could lead to low libido. These decreasing levels of testosterone may lead to a clinical syndrome called "andropause." Symptoms associated with this syndrome include low libido; decreased strength, energy, and/or stamina; increased irritability; and a decreased enjoyment of life.

In women, estradiol levels decline with age, which could also lead to low libido and loss of fertility. The decreasing levels of estradiol eventually leads to the cessation of menstruation, called menopause.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Pros: C-sections allow women to avoid the pain of vaginal delivery, provide control over the timing of their deliveries, and health benefits such as a reduced rate of pelvic floor problems, which can cause incontinence.

However, research has shown that it is mainly the pregnancy that increases the risk of urinary and fecal incontinence, and not the mode of delivery.

Cons: The risks associated with the procedure seem to outweigh the potential benefits. Healthy women who undergo a planned C-section are three times more likely to experience severe maternal morbidity as compared to women who have a planned vaginal birth. In general, C-sections are associated with higher risks of infection, excessive bleeding, scarring, damage to the intestines and bladder, chronic conditions related to childbirth, and even death. In addition, women who give birth by C-section have substantially longer recovery times than do women who give birth vaginally. This longer recovery time can interfere with the mother's ability to care for her baby without considerable assistance, and it can place a significant strain on the health care system.

2. Postpartum blues and postpartum depression differ in both the severity and duration of the depressive symptoms. Postpartum blues are also more common than postpartum depression. The postpartum blues occurs in up to 80 per cent of women and usually resolves within a couple of weeks. Postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in between 20 and 50 per cent of women and can last for months or even years. Postpartum blues consists of mild depression, tearfulness, anxiety, and/or irritability occurring in the first few days after delivery. The experience of PPD may involve extreme sadness or despair, apathy, changes in appetite and sleep, low self-esteem, and difficulty concentrating.

3. Spinal blocks and epidurals can reduce a woman's ability to push the baby out herself and increase the risk of C-section and assisted deliveries (e.g., forceps). Drugs can cross the placental barrier and may have a negative impact on the baby.

4. Artificial insemination involves injecting the sperm directly into the vagina or uterus. Sperm can be from a partner (AIH) or a donor (AID). The egg never leaves the woman's body and fertilization occurs in the woman's body. In zygote intrafallopian transfer, eggs from the mother or donor are fertilized with sperm from the partner or donor outside of the body and inserted into the woman's body after three or four days of development. There are two main differences between the methods. First, in AI, the egg is never donated. Second, in AI, fertilization occurs inside of the body and it is never the case that eggs or zygotes need to be frozen, whereas with ZIFT, eggs are fertilized outside of the body and in some cases the eggs or zygotes must be frozen.

5. Jackie will be in the first stage of labour for about eight hours, where contractions cause the cervix to dilate to 10 cm. The baby can then exit the uterus and begin moving down the birth canal. The next stage lasts about 80 minutes and involves the baby's head exiting the vagina. The nose and mouth are suctioned out and then the baby's body is delivered. The umbilical cord is clamped and cut. The next stage lasts about an hour and involves the delivery of the placenta. Following the delivery of the placenta, Jackie would be sutured if necessary. After delivery the baby is checked and then put skin to skin on the mother as soon as possible. The baby may attempt to breast feed as soon as one hour after delivery.

6. Some possible benefits include; harvesting stem cells to clone only certain tissues or organs that could be used for research into treatment of certain diseases or to develop organs for transplantation. Reproductive cloning could offer another alternative to those dealing with infertility.

ESSAY QUESTIONS Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Positive aspects: increased access to health care, increased access to education, decreased burden of childcare on women Negative aspects: measures that eliminate female children including abortion and infanticide, long wait periods for some couples who want a child, and a future where there will be more males available to marry than females available to marry them 2. The world may not be able to sustain itself if populations continue to grow at current rates. Reduced family size and population leads to better quality of life for living citizens including better education, better healthcare, and less poverty. In addition, in many countries only unsafe abortions are available and improving access to contraception may reduce health risks to women who choose abortion when they do become pregnant. Birth control may lead more of the world to become "developed."

3. Personality, situational, and relationship factors may influence an individual's decision to engage in sexual risk-taking. Personality factors such as impulsivity, extraversion, psychoticism, and neuroticism are all correlated with risky sexual behaviour, and these correlations occur mainly due to overlapping genetic influences.

Situational factors include poverty, limited access to contraceptives, and substance use/abuse.

Relationship factors also play a role in birth control compliance. Factors that increase the likelihood of sexual risk-taking include abusive relationships, as well as power dynamics, particularly as they pertain to who controls the sexual situations and contraception use.

Sexual risk-taking may be reduced if contraceptive information is easy to understand and accessible in a timely manner. Individuals may also be motivated to reduce risky behaviour by their personal attitudes and/or social norms, and their perceived vulnerability to unwanted pregnancy or STIs. Sexual risk-taking may be reduced if a person feels more self-efficacious and confident when it comes to implementing a birth control strategy; to achieve this goal, individuals must have access to their chosen method of birth control, and they must be able to discuss contraception with their partner(s). One way of achieving these goals is through sexual education that is focused on providing information tailored to individual needs, developing positive attitudes and social norms of contraceptive use, and helping individuals build the behavioural skills they need to make good choices about contraception.

4. Emergency contraception is an action taken after intercourse that can prevent pregnancy but that will have no effect on an established pregnancy. One method is the contraceptive pill, which can be highly effective and can be obtained from pharmacies without a prescription, but must be taken within 72 hours of intercourse to be highly effective. It can cause nausea. A second alternative is the insertion of an inter-uterine device (IUD) within seven days of intercourse. This can be highly effective but requires a visit to the doctor and a prescription.

5. The male contraception pill has been in development since about 1979. It works by preventing sperm from being part of ejaculate. When the correct formulation is used on the correct population, it can be up to 95 per cent effective. Some reasons why the male oral contraceptive has not been adopted may include the perception by pharmaceutical companies that women do not trust men to take the pill, the idea that taking the pill will reduce a male's masculinity, and the argument by some feminists that handing contraceptive control over to men would be a backward step for the women's movement.

6. Internal condoms are placed internally into the body (e.g. vagina or anus) for protection during sexual acts.

External condoms are placed on the outside of a body part (e.g. the penis) for protection during sexual acts.

Pros and cons: Both offer protection from STIs, but the internal condom may offer greater protection from STIs that are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. However, the contraceptive failure rates for external condoms are Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

slightly lower than for internal condoms. Both are readily available without prescription.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Prior to the development of treatment options, persons with HIV/AIDS were highly stigmatized, not only for having a much-feared communicable disease, but also for being gay and/or drug users in addition to effectively having a "death sentence" with their diagnosis. Researchers feared that conducting research or suggesting interventions that implied that people who have HIV also spread HIV would be cruel and unfair even though HIV-positive individuals are the source of every new infection. After it became possible to treat AIDS, some of the stigma was lifted and AIDS was normalized, allowing researchers to look at how to prevent the spread of AIDS from an HIV-positive individual to an uninfected individual. HIV prevention campaigns now stress the importance of not passing on the disease if you are infected, rather than focusing on not getting the disease if you are not infected.

2. Arguments against include case examples of some children who fell ill soon after being given the vaccination, unknown long term effects of the vaccine, the appropriateness of giving a vaccine related to sexual behaviour to a nine-year-old child, and the need for the vaccine when cervical cancer can be detected by a Pap test and successfully treated. Arguments for the vaccine include the fact that Pap tests don't always detect early signs of cervical cancer, and that Pap tests do not test for other types of cancer caused by HPV. In addition, the pro-vaccine group notes that some groups of women are unlikely to get a Pap test but may be protected from some types of cancer if given the vaccine at school.

3. In North America, the largest group transmitting HIV/AIDS to others are men who have sex with men and intravenous drug users. A campaign that addresses those individuals and gives them tools and skills needed to stop the spread of the infection is most appropriate in North America, mainly through condom use and not sharing needles. In South Africa, however, the main transmitters of HIV/AIDS are heterosexuals, and there are a number of culturally-based beliefs that demand a different approach. For example, many South Africans believe in traditional healers, and many HIV-positive individuals are also expected to produce a family, meaning that they must engage in risky sexual behaviour to appease the cultural norm. In addition, men hold a more powerful status in South African society than women, and that changes what strategies work best to ensure condoms are used. If the North American approach was used in South Africa or vice versa, HIV/AIDS prevention method would not likely be successful. The approach used needs to match the culture in which it is being used.

4. 1. A person's apparent "risky lifestyle" (e.g., drinkers are at a higher risk for STIs than non-drinkers) doesn't reflect whether they actually may or may not have an STI. 2. Many of the behaviours that are highest risk also have social stigmas, so the partner might not be honest about engaging in those behaviours (e.g., IV drug use, men having sex with men).

3. A partner may not know if their previous partners were carrying STIs, and the partner and their previous partner could be infected with a pathogen yet be asymptomatic.

5. Consent, contraception, safer sex, sexual pleasure, and the quality of the interpersonal relationship should all be considered. She should think about whether she has given and received consent for the level of sexual activity she is engaging in. She should consider her contraception choice and make sure it is the best for her health. She should consider whether she is enjoying the sexual activity with her partner and whether there are things she would like to do that they haven't tried, or things that she would like him to stop doing. She may also consider finding out whether he is enjoying their sexual relations. She should also consider whether she is happy with the non-sexual Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

aspect of her interpersonal relationship, whether the relationship is good for her, and whether it is good for her partner.

6. Answers may include some of the following: Think in advance about whether you want to be sexually active with a partner, and to what degree. Think about what's on your sexual-health wish list, including consent ("Have I clarified whether I, and my partner, actually want to do this?"), contraception ("Have I and my partner discussed, or have I personally put into place, acceptable contraceptive precautions?"), and safer sex ("The heck with taking a sexual history—if my partner or I have a sexual history, then we need to use condoms, and discuss STI screening, the limits to screening, and mutual monogamy."). Also, add to your sexual wish list sexual pleasure ("I know my partner believes that he or she is a superior lover, but I've got to figure out how to convey what I like best about what we do sexually together.") and interpersonal relationships ("Is this relationship good for me, and good for my partner?"). Also think about what you need to know—about contraception, safer sex, sexual function, sexual communication, and relationships—and where you can go to get the information you need, and then do your homework! (Good places to start are this textbook and the sexual and reproductive health website of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, sexualityAndU.ca). Also keep in mind that your thoughts on sex may differ from others' thoughts on sex. Conceptions of sex in general—and of such related topics as consent, safer sex, and the promotion of sexual health in particular—tend to differ across cultures and among individuals; it is important to be aware of such differences when you are at home and when you are travelling within North America or overseas.

7. Condoms decrease sexual pleasure or sensation. To resolve this, put a drop of water-based lubricant or saliva in the tip of the condom or on the glans of the penis prior to putting on the condom, try a thinner latex condom, try different brands, or try more lubrication. Condoms decrease the spontaneity of sexual activity. To resolve this, incorporate condom use during foreplay, remember that peace of mind may enhance sexual arousal and response.

Using condoms is embarrassing, juvenile, and "unmanly." To resolve this, remember that being responsible is neither embarrassing nor juvenile, and that it is "manly" to protect oneself and others. Condoms don't fit well. To resolve this, try a smaller or larger condom (different sizes are readily available in many stores and health centres). Using condoms requires prompt withdrawal after ejaculation. To resolve this, remember that a sexual encounter doesn't have to end with withdrawal of the penis, and suggest low-risk post-coital activities such as caressing erogenous areas. Condoms can break, and fear of breakage may lead to loss of enjoyment. To resolve this, keep in mind that condoms generally do not break if used properly. The use of pre-lubricated condoms can help, as can the addition of a water-based lubricant if necessary. Condoms are difficult or unpleasant to use during oral or other non-penetrative sexual activity (use a non-lubricated condom for oral-penile sexual contact). To resolve this, try flavoured condoms. Cut a non-lubricated condom down the middle to form a protective sheet for oral-vulvar and oral-anal sexual contact.

ESSAY QUESTIONS Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Sexualization occurs when people are made to feel as though their value or worth is inextricably linked to their sexual appeal, when they equate their physical attractiveness to being sexy, when they are sexually objectified, and when sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon them. Evidence for the sexualization of preadolescent girls can be found in the media (television, movies, music, magazines, the Internet, etc.) as well as in consumer products marketed toward girls under 10 (e.g., Bratz dolls, thong underwear). Parents, teachers, and peers can also convey the message that physical attractiveness and sexuality are highly valued in young girls, and the results of this sexualization can be harmful. Self-objectification has been associated with anxiety about appearance and feelings of shame in 12- and 13-year-old girls. Sexualization of girls has also been linked to eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depression. Additionally, girls who are exposed to sexualized media are more likely to endorse sexual stereotypes of women as sexual objects, and they are more likely to place high value on appearance and physical attractiveness.

2. 1. They believe that they are at less risk for sexual transmitted infections.

2. They wish to prevent pregnancy.

3. Oral sex may be more socially acceptable than intercourse.

4. Oral sex is viewed as less intimate than intercourse.

5. Oral sex is an option when you aren't yet ready for intercourse.

3. The average age of first marriage has increased by about seven years for both men and women between 1972 and 2008, from about age 23 to about age 30. There are many possible reasons for this. For one, more people are attending post-secondary education and incurring great debt in the process; as a result, more people are choosing to live at home longer and delay getting married until they are financially stable. In addition, as suggested above, more people are living together first before getting married. Further, women are less financially dependent on men than they were in the past and, as such, are able to be more selective when choosing a mate. Finally, it is much more acceptable today than in the past for women to delay childbearing until their thirties or to have children without being married, so women today likely feel less pressure to get married and start a family at a young age.

4. Age may be a contributing factor, as Canadian couples who marry young may be more likely to divorce than couples who were older at the time of marriage. In addition, religion can have a protective effect on a marriage, as Canadians who attend religious services during the year—even if only just a few—have been shown to be less likely to divorce than those who do not attend such services. Finally, people who have been divorced before are more likely to divorce in subsequent marriages.

5. There are three possible situations discussed in the chapter. One is when caring for someone with a physical disability. The ethical dilemma is the extent to which the caregiver is responsible for helping that person have safe sex. Another scenario is when caring for someone with a mental disability. The ethical dilemmas involved may be whether the person is mature enough for sex and whether the caregiver is responsible for that person not getting pregnant or impregnating someone and not contracting a sexually transmitted infection. Another scenario is when the person is in a senior's home and has little privacy and may not have a partner but may have sexual interest. The ethical dilemma is whether the caregiver must find a sexual partner and make sure they have safe sex.

6. Sexual development starts while the fetus is growing in the womb. Erections have been noted in male fetuses, and male infants may experience reflexive erections beginning shortly after birth. Signs of physiological arousal in female infants, such as vaginal lubrication, are harder to detect but have also been reported. Infants are able to derive physical pleasure from tactile contact with their caregivers and from sucking (e.g., breastfeeding, or Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

sucking on pacifiers, hands, and toys), which is pleasurable because of the heightened sensitivity of the mouth.

They are also able to derive physical pleasure from self-stimulation, and it is common for infants to rub their genitals against something such as a blanket or a toy; this may occur in infants as young as two months old.

7. Preadolescence, which generally occurs between the ages of eight and 12, is the developmental stage that Freud referred to as the "latency period" (see Chapter 2), suggesting that children's interest in sex and sexuality decreases during this stage. While this may be true for some preadolescents, more recent research and observations suggest that children's interest in sex typically increases during this stage, particularly around the age of 10 (Herdt & McClintock, 2000). Masturbation is the primary form of sexual expression among preadolescents, with males being more likely than females to masturbate frequently and to experience orgasm (Schwartz, 1999).

In those children who show a decreased interest in their bodies and sex differences, it may be that parents' negative reactions to earlier open displays of body exploration taught them to hide when exploring their bodies.

Socialization and an effort on the part of the child to adopt appropriate social norms may also result in less overt exploration activities (Friedrich, Grambsch, Broughton, Kuiper, & Beilke, 1991). Toward the end of the preadolescent period, as their interest in dating increases, many children begin to explore their emerging sexuality by playing socially acceptable sexualized games like "spin the bottle".

8. There are advantages and disadvantages to living together before marriage. Cohabiting can give a couple a chance to get to know each other better without making a legal or financial commitment to each other, which may allow them to make a more informed decision about whether or not they want to marry. Another advantage is that cohabiting people between the ages of 25 and 29 have a higher frequency of sex than either dating or married people have. On the other hand, couples who live together may experience conflict if their visions of the future divert, particularly if one would like to marry but the other would not. Canadians who do get married after cohabiting are 50 per cent more likely to get divorced than those who marry without having first cohabited. There may be many reasons for this higher divorce rate among couples who cohabited before marriage; for example, such couples may hold less traditional views of marriage, or they may simply view all relationships, even those formally recognized under the law, as temporary.

9. Women typically enter perimenopause, the life stage in which the ovaries begin to produce less estrogen and progesterone, sometime in their late forties. Initially they might not feel any of the effects of perimenopause, but some women start to feel what are usually referred to as "menopausal symptoms," such as mood swings, depressive feelings, sleep disturbance, fatigue, irritability, hot flashes, and night sweats. Menstrual periods may become heavier, lighter, and/or less regular, and vaginal dryness and decreased lubrication may be noticed.

Around the age of 51, women in the Western world tend to experience menopause, the life stage in which they have their last menstrual period; the time after the last menses is referred to as postmenopause. Women today spend a significant amount of their lives in the postmenopausal stage. Hormone levels continue to fluctuate until about five years postmenopause, at which point levels stabilize and most women no longer experience menopausal symptoms.

In older men, the relationship between the physical effects of aging and sexual impairment appears to be more linear that it does in women, but as with women, there is significant variation in how aging affects an individual's sexuality. Many men find that it takes them longer to have an erection, as the penis tends to become less sensitive to stimulation with age, and their erections are less firm and less reliable. The testicles also decrease in size and ejaculations become less forceful, which can sometimes lead to decreased subjective pleasure with orgasm.

Further, the refractory period after an orgasm, during which most men are unable to have another erection, increases. With regard to sexual dysfunction, older age is associated with increasing degrees of erectile dysfunction, a decrease in sexual desire, and more difficulty having orgasm. A steady decrease in testosterone in Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

the brain and body of older men has also been associated with the decline in sexual function and, in particular, sexual desire. Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking) can also affect erectile responsiveness, but in general, vascular and nerve damage become more pronounced as men get older.

Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

a) Male gender is seen as more fluid than female gender. b) Female gender is seen as more fluid than male gender. c) Male gender is seen as more influenced by biology than female gender. d) Female gender is seen as more influenced by biology than male gender.

21. Which theory attempts to explain gender differences as resulting from differences in the workforce? a) social learning theory b) evolutionary theory c) social structural theory d) economic dependence theory 22. Researchers in Sub-Saharan Africa studying the adaptiveness of infant temperaments found that difficult, cranky babies do worse in times of plenty; these children create a lot of stress for their parents and are more likely to be neglected or abused than babies with calm, more even temperaments. In times of drought, however, babies with cranky temperaments are the ones most likely to survive because they demand more attention from their caregivers (de Vries, 1984). This example shows that we can judge the adaptiveness of a baby's temperament only in relation to the environment within which that temperament is expressed. What theory are these researchers most likely using? a) evolutionary psychology b) social learning theory c) social structural theory d) biology theory 23. Exposure to reality dating programs depicting gender-stereotyped romantic and sexual behaviours, such as Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire is correlated with more permissive sexual attitudes and behaviours.

However, inferring causation requires an experimental design with control conditions; this correlation may reveal that individuals with more permissive attitudes are more likely to seek out media that portray sexuality in a fashion consistent with their attitudes. According to the text, if you were conducting this study, what theory should you employ in your research? a) social learning theory b) social structural theory c) evolutionary psychology d) sociobiology theory 24. Women and men from more gender-egalitarian societies, as indexed by a gender-empowerment measure developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP, 1995), report more similar incidence and frequency of sexual behaviours such as masturbation, vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, and casual sex (Peterson & Hyde, 2010); yet even in these societies certain gender differences remain, in particular, masturbation and erotica use. What theory does this information support? a) social structural theory b) evolutionary psychology c) social learning theory d) sociobiology theory 25. Contrary to popular media representations of gender (such as Men are from Mars, Women Are from Venus), recent research on gender indicates that __________.

Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

a) in most ways, men and women are more similar than different b) women are generally more emotional than men and therefore naturally inclined to be nurturers c) in most ways, men and women are far more different than similar d) men, because of their genetic composition, are more inclined to see sexuality as a reproductive function based on hormones 26. When is men and women's sociosexuality likely to be most similar? a) when women are ovulating b) when men and women have created a loving home environment c) when men are single d) when society is not influencing men and women's sexual behaviour 27.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. An evolutionary psychologist would likely say that heterosexual men can potentially have children through sexual encounters and gay men cannot. Because heterosexual men do not wish to put resources into children that are not theirs, they are very concerned about fidelity. Also, because younger women may be better able to conceive and raise a healthy child, heterosexual men find youth attractive. Age is not a factor related to the success of sex when reproduction is not concerned, so gay men are less selective about the age of their partner.

2. With congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) females with an XX chromosome pair are exposed to more androgen before birth and are more likely to prefer "male" activities and same-sex relationships than females who do not have CAH. Males born with XY chromosomes but complete androgen insensitivity syndrome cannot use androgen produced in the body but can still use estrogen and thus develop female characteristics. Individuals with CAIS identify as female and prefer relationships with men. In both of these cases behaviour and sexual preference seems influences by the hormones the person is exposed to before and after birth and not the sex-linked genes the person inherits.

3. Gender development involves three related processes: detecting gender, or being able to identify the differences between females and males; having gender, or recognizing in oneself characteristics shared by either boys or girls; and doing gender, or matching one's gendered behaviour with female or male gender stereotypes.

4. Zucker's approach is to try to get the child to accept the gender they were born with. This approach is sometimes criticized for silencing gender minorities and discriminating against people who choose a gender other than the one they are born with. However, research has shown that the vast majority of children with gender dysphoria will eventually outgrow the condition and accept the gender they were born with on their own. Zucker's approach is designed to help speed up this process of eventual acceptance.

5. Stage 1: psychological and physical evaluation; determine the mental health of the individual and identify a support network Stage 2: the real-life experience; living as the other gender for at least one year Stage 3: hormone replacement therapy; occurs about one year after the person begins living as the other sex Stage 4: sex reassignment surgery, which may involve multiple operations and should begin after at least one year of HRT 6. Gender - the psychological experience of femaleness and/or maleness.

Biological sex - the biological condition of being male and/or female, as determined by genes, chromosomes, hormones, and physical traits.

7. Social structural theory proposes that gender differences in sexuality, particularly in relation to mate preferences, arise because of a gendered division of power that emerges from a gender-stratified workforce where men control resources. Examples will vary.

8. In 2005, Janet Hyde, an American psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, contended that the predominant model of differences between women and men was fundamentally flawed (Hyde, 2005).

ESSAY QUESTIONS Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Conversion therapy targets only individuals with same-sex orientations, and its goal is essentially to "fix" a minority population that is deemed to have undesirable traits. Further, conversion efforts seem out of line with guidelines to "avoid bringing harm to the client" that every reputable mental health professional is obliged to follow. It is difficult to believe that conversion therapists are following this ethic given the ample research evidence demonstrating the negative consequences associated with conversion therapy: increased suicidality; increased anxiety and depression; decreased self-esteem and increased feelings of shame and self-loathing; increased levels of internalized homophobia and distorted perceptions of same-sex sexuality; intrusive imagery; sexual dysfunction; preoccupation with speech, mannerisms, and gender-role expression; loss of family connections, religiosity, and spirituality; phobic anxiety toward attractive members of one's own sex; increased aggression and hostility; feelings of inauthenticity; slowing of the self-identification process; social isolation and loss of same-sex partners; irrational fear of being a child abuser (as a consequence of the once-prevalent stereotype that "homosexuals" are pedophiles); and difficulty in establishing intimate relationships.

For individuals who struggle with their same-sex sexual/affectional orientations, a more positive and helpful form of guidance may come from SGD affirmative therapy. Standing in stark contrast to conversion therapy, this form of therapy is offered by people who view SGD individuals as being equal and as deserving of equal rights to those sharing the dominant discourse (usually heterosexuality). SGD affirmative therapists may hold and practise from any theoretical orientation (e.g., psychodynamic, behavioural): the important aspect is that their attitudes and behaviours are affirming of SGD individuals.

2. 1. Most studies assume heterosexuality is the default and that something must "go wrong" for any other orientation to develop.

2. Most studies group people based on self-identified sexual identity.

3. Most studies look at people's identity at a point in time and ignore the fact that the identity could be different at a different point in that person's life.

3. Positive factors include better physical and mental health. Negative factors include repercussions from one's family, workplace or society. For example, dependent children who feel that their parents might react very negatively to such a disclosure might choose not to confront the issue until they are older and able to support themselves. Indeed, many homeless SGD youth have ended up on the streets because they were rejected by their families (Hunter, 2008). Some adults may also choose not to disclose their sexual identity to their coworkers for fear that they may be denied advancement opportunities. Despite legislation meant to prevent discrimination based on sexual identity, some employers continue to favour those who fit the dominant cultural discourse (most often, able-bodied, heterosexual males). Identity disclosure may also be particularly difficult for SGD individuals who are deeply connected to communities in which homophobia is highly prevalent. This is often the case for Black and Latino men in Canada and the United States, who may feel that disclosing an other-than-heterosexual identity will lead to their being ostracized from their community.

4. Students should discuss three findings from the following: twin studies show identical twins more likely to share affectionate orientation than non-identical twins, evidence for genes shared with gay male brothers not shared by heterosexual male brothers, differences in the structure of the hypothalamus in gay men and heterosexual men, difference in pheromone responses for gay men and heterosexual men.

5. Research has shown no ill effects on the psychological well-being of children raised by same sex couples compared to heterosexual couples. The affectional affiliation and sexual identity of the parent have no impact on the child. Research has found that the number of parents in the home, and not the affectionate orientation of those parents, is the biggest predictor of psychological health or distress. Thus research indicates that same-sex couples are equally able to raise children who are psychologically healthy.

6. When discussing people's intimate, sexual, and romantic attractions to others, most researchers and laypersons alike focus on the sexual aspects of such attractions, using the term "sexual orientation" to refer to an individual's tendency to be attracted to men and/or women. Yet many have noted that this term is too limited, as it overemphasizes the sexual aspects of an orientation and thus oversimplifies what an orientation is. As a result, there is growing support for rejecting the term sexual orientation in favour of the more inclusive term affectional orientation. Indeed, most current researchers recognize that an orientation has a significant emotional attachment component. Affectional orientation is the interaction between affect and cognition such that it produces attraction, erotic desire, and ultimately feelings of love for members of the other sex, the same sex, or both.

7. Today, negative views of same-sex sexual behaviours persist, to varying degrees, in most societies around the world. Such views also often lead to prejudices against individuals who engage in same-sex behaviour, or anyone who is deemed to not fit neatly into the category of "heterosexual." Heterosexism, whether it occurs consciously or unconsciously, minimizes non-heterosexual people, either by assuming that they do not exist or by projecting a belief that they are somehow inferior to their heterosexual counterparts. It is a continual process that manifests itself in nearly every setting (e.g., at home, at work, and at school).

8. Questions about what causes us to develop the way we do are fraught with difficulty. It is especially in these lines of inquiry that we see full enactment of the nature-versus-nurture controversy: is our development caused by biological, physical, and genetic factors, or by environmental, social, and psychological factors? As Kitzinger and Wilkinson (1995) state, the question is moot: it cannot be answered through the quantitative and qualitative methodologies available to researchers. When researchers do attempt to provide an answer—at least, in relation to conditions that have a psychosocial component to them—they invariably find that the way we develop is a combination of nature and nurture.

ESSAY QUESTIONS Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Emotional: "My partner listens to me when I need someone to talk to."

Social: "Having time together with friends is an important part of our shared activities."

Sexual: "Sexual expression is an essential part of our relationship."

Intellectual: "My partner helps me clarify my thoughts."

Recreational: "We enjoy the same recreational activities."

2. The model is based on how people view themselves (a scale going from positive and self-confident to negative and anxious) and how people view others (a scale that goes from positive and seeks intimacy to negative and avoids intimacy).

A person has secure attachment if they have a positive model of themselves and others. They are comfortable with intimacy and autonomy in close relationships, and they are self-confident and resolve conflict constructively.

About 54 per cent of the population are in this category.

A person has dismissing attachment if they have a positive view of themselves and a negative view of others.

They are compulsively self-reliant, distant in relationships, and downplay the importance of intimate relationships. About 18 per cent of people have a dismissive style of attachment.

A person who has a negative view of themselves and a positive view of others has a preoccupied style of attachment characterized by being overly invested and involved in close relationships, dependent on others for self-worth, and having a demanding, needy, approach orientation toward others. About 10 to 14 per cent of the population has a preoccupied attachment style.

Finally, people with a negative view of themselves and others will have a fearful attachment style characterized by being dependent on others but avoiding intimacy due to fear of rejection, and having low self-esteem and high attachment anxiety. About 15 to 18 per cent of the population has a fearful attachment style.

3. Secure: It is easy for me to become emotionally close to others. I am comfortable depending on others and having others depend on me. I don't worry about being alone or having others not accept me.

Preoccupied: I want to be completely emotionally intimate with others, but I often find that others are reluctant to get as close as I would like. I am uncomfortable being without close relationships, but I sometimes worry that others don't value me as much as I value them.

Fearful: I am uncomfortable getting close to others. I want emotionally close relationships, but I find it difficult to trust others completely, or to depend on them. I worry that I will be hurt if I allow myself to become too close to others.

Dismissing: I am comfortable without close emotional relationships. It is very important to me to feel independent and self-sufficient, and I prefer not to depend on others or have others depend on me.

4. Students who have participated in hooking up report a range of both positive and negative emotions associated with their experiences. Examples of reported positive emotions include happiness or excitement, whereas examples of negative emotions include confusion or disappointment. Young adults, particularly women, may also feel pressured to participate in the hook-up culture and, as a result, may engage in unwanted sexual experiences.

As well, women may struggle with the sexual double standard that exists, whereby women who hook up are often viewed more negatively compared to their male counterparts.

5. The three components are intimacy, passion, and commitment (decision). In this theory, intimacy involves feelings of closeness and connection to a loved one and includes feelings that lead to warmth in a relationship.

Passion involves physical arousal and attraction and often is characterized by a drive to be sexual with one's partner; at the same time, other strong needs, such as a need to be nurtured by one's partner, may also add to the experience of passion in a relationship. Passion is often the earliest of the components to emerge in a romantic relationship, and, given that it is the component that is least under conscious control, it is the most difficult to sustain. Commitment, in the short term, is the decision that one person loves another; in the long term, it is the Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

decision to maintain that love. The short- and long-term aspects of commitment do not always go together, as one can love someone in the short term yet not be committed to the relationship over a long period of time, or vice versa 6. Birds of a feather: people are more attracted to people who are similar to them in many ways, including culturally, physically, and socioeconomically.

Opposites attract: people with different MHS are more attracted to each other.

7. The theory of "love as a story" tries to explain how different types of triangles and love develop. It states that we are exposed to various stories about what love is—by watching other people or movies, or reading fairy tales, for example—and eventually develop our own love stories based on our own personalities and experiences. The theory also suggests that we strive to fulfil these stories, and that relationships are most satisfying when partners' stories are closely matched—indeed, research has found that the greater the similarity between love stories, the more likely partners are to be satisfied in their relationship.

8. Eros: My lover and I have the right physical "chemistry" between us. Storge: The best kind of love grows out of a long friendship. Ludus: I believe that what my lover doesn't know about me won't hurt him/her. Pragma: A main consideration in choosing a lover is how he/she reflects on my family. Mania: When my lover doesn't pay attention to me, I feel sick all over. Agape: I would rather suffer myself than let my lover suffer.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Overall the answer is complex and personal.

Here are some common reasons not to disclose: Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Not all private details of our past may be relevant today.

2. We might not feel safe (physically or emotionally) disclosing certain information to our partner.

3. Some details are just meant to be private.

Here are some common reasons to disclose: 1. If a matter has important consequences for the sexual partner and should be revealed; for example, STI status.

You likely should feel morally obligated to disclose this information if the partner's health could be at risk, but if the STI can cause serious bodily harm, you are legally obligated to disclose this information (e.g. HIV/AIDS status).

2. If it something you would want to know from your partner, you should disclose it.

3. Disclosure of your past can be a show of trust in your partner.

2. Effective communication about sexuality with one's partner is important because it is associated with positive outcomes for partners, including both relationship and sexual satisfaction. Open discussions about sexual interests and differences can lead to greater closeness and intimacy. Effectively communicating one's sexual preferences and desires to one's partner can also result in significantly increased sexual and general relationship satisfaction.

3. When people can talk about sexual problems with their partners, both they and their partners tend to be more satisfied with their sexual and romantic relationship, have better sexual functioning, and feel less distressed about the sexual aspects of their relationship.

For example, in one intervention study, 59 mixed-sex couples in which the man had been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction following treatment for prostate cancer participated in a 3.5 hour workshop designed to increase sexual communication skills. They found that both men and their partners reported improved relationship satisfaction and sexual functioning.

4. 1. A person's sexual attitudes and beliefs play a huge role in how well they communicate about sex with a partner.

2. The expectations that an individual has about how their partner is likely to behave during an upcoming discussion, as well as how their partner actually responds, play an important role in determining how the discussion will unfold.

3. The listener should set aside their own agenda to really hear what the other person is saying. Without a receptive listener, communication will break down.

4. Choosing an appropriate time to engage in sexual communication can also make a difference.

5. Using non-judgmental language can improve communication.

safe and women who have had it have not reported adverse effects or regrets.

Against: it perpetuates the discrimination of women who have had sex in some cultures, it is not medically necessary, and it may be unethical because it is intended purpose is to deceive a future spouse.

2. Some of the following points may be used but answers will vary.

Polyamory involves being in a romantic and sexual relationship with more than one person at the same time. In some cases, only one partner in a polyamorous relationship will be intimately involved with more than one person. In general, polyamorists describe their relationships as based more on love than on sex, relatively stable (some spanning decades), and relatively egalitarian (e.g., in terms of how time and resources will be shared among multiple partners; Barker & Langdridge, 2010). Some polyamorists are also co-parents. Polyamorous relationships can be very diverse in structure.

Polygamy is a type of polyamory in which one person is married to more than one spouse simultaneously. In North America, polygynists are predominantly heterosexual, and they tend to be conservative in their religious views and lifestyle; they also usually publicly recognize all of their marital relationships, legal or not. Wives in polygynous marriages have an emotionally and sexually exclusive relationship with their husband. Traditionally, a hierarchy of wives emerges, with older or non-childbearing (e.g., menopausal) wives and their children often holding lower status.

Research from across cultures and religious communities, however, suggests that a polygynous marital structure is often harmful to the welfare of a large number of women and children. Lack of social power, lower levels of education, significantly younger age at marriage and childbirth, parenting large numbers of children, and isolation from mainstream society are associated with the lives of women in polygynous communities. More women in polygynous marriages report psychological distress, financial stress, domestic violence, and marital problems than women in non-polygynous marriages. In addition, children from polygynous families tend to experience more behavioural, emotional, and academic difficulties than their peers from non-polygynous families.

3. One problem is that the pressure to achieve the goal of orgasm may increase performance anxiety and interfere with sexual arousal and orgasm, particularly for those who have never experienced orgasm or have orgasmic difficulties. Another problem is that the traditional sexual script suggests orgasm should follow intercourse, and that it signals a finale to love-making. This approach can be problematic for individuals, particularly women, for whom intercourse does not often lead to orgasm; indeed, a vast majority of women report having orgasms more consistently with sexual activities other than intercourse (Zietsch et al., 2011). Further, this approach may lead some women to believe they have a sexual dysfunction simply because they do not orgasm following intercourse.

4. 1. Agenda-setting theory: media affect what we think is important by highlighting what we should pay attention to; in other words, media set the agenda. From this perspective, sexual topics and issues that frequently appear in media, such as the scandalous sexual affairs of politicians or the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, become more salient to media consumers, thereby influencing consumers' attitudes about these issues.

2. Cultivation theory: we develop a shared set of values and expectations about reality based on depictions of reality in media. According to this perspective, media "cultivate" certain ideas about sex in media consumers by continually depicting sex in similar ways, according to societal values and stereotypes.

3. Social learning theory: individuals will model their attitudes and behaviours after the fictional (and sometimes non-fictional) characters they see in media, especially when the models are rewarded for particular behaviours.

Thus, media consumers are likely to model their sexual behaviours after sexual behaviours that are portrayed positively in media. Further, media depictions of sexual scenarios provide scripts for enacting certain sexual behaviours that people may not be exposed to elsewhere.

5. On the negative side, online text-based interactions may lead to communication problems between partners, especially because it is difficult to communicate emotional tone and humour without facial expressions, vocal Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

tones, and gestures. In addition, over-involvement in solitary OSA may result in one partner neglecting his or her responsibilities toward the other, such as the responsibility to spend time engaging with the partner. A small number of cybersex users (approximately 1 per cent) develop a sexual addiction or compulsion that interferes with their relationships and ability to function in everyday activities. Further, participating in a high level of cybersex has been associated with separation or divorce. Some partners may view cybersex as infidelity; in other cases, online affairs may lead to offline affairs.

On the positive side, a survey of 8,376 heterosexual adults in committed relationships found that mild or moderate amounts of OSA benefitted relationships for both men and women. Specifically, OSA participants reported an increased quality and frequency of sexual activity, and increased intimacy with their partners. Further, men and women reported that engaging in OSA with their partner improved sexual communication between them. Perhaps this shared experience opens the door for couples to talk about their sexual fantasies and likes and dislikes, which otherwise may not have been discussed.

6. The Internet is a popular source for information about sex and sexuality because it seems to be driven by accessibility, affordability, anonymity, acceptability, and approximation

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. 1. Statistical; do a survey 2. Cultural; look what is typical in a culture, limit conclusions to that culture and time period 3. Consider normalcy judgment based on "doing no harm." Behaviour is normal if it does no harm, not normal if it does. One must have consent to do no harm and because consent varies from culture to culture this view is also going to vary by culture. Also, sometimes we think things are harmful because of cultural views (e.g., masturbation) so this view has a second source of cultural contribution but it is generally deemed to be reasonable now that we need proof that something is harmful before saying it is harmful.

2. In order to identify hypersexuality, even if we are unable to diagnose it using the DSM, we must consider the question, "What is an excessive frequency of sexual behaviour?" We may cite studies indicating that male undergraduate students masturbate an average of 12 times per month, and female undergraduates, 4.7 times per month (Pinkerton, Bogart, Cecil, & Abramson, 2002), and that the average number of times individuals aged 20 to 29 have sex per year is 117 (Durex, 2005). Preference for frequency of sexual activity, including masturbation, is simply that—a personal preference; as a result, the meaning of "excessive frequency" will be different for every person. In addition, few individuals can be expected to exhibit statistically average tendencies, as statistical averages merely represent a calculated central value of a wide range of data points. Thus, hypersexual disorder does not simply entail engaging in sexual behaviour more frequently than what is deemed to be average; individuals who meet the proposed criteria for hypersexual disorder have significant impairment in their relationships, work, and education because they spend so much time thinking about or pursing sexual activities.

3. Paraphilia: any intense and persistent sexual interest other than sexual interest in genital stimulation or preparatory fondling with phenotypically normal, physically mature, consenting human partners.

Paraphilic disorder: a paraphilia that causes distress or impairment to the individual, or that may harm others when acted upon.

Atypical sexual behaviours are referred to as paraphilias, a word derived from the Greek para ("deviation") and philia ("love" or "attraction"). Typically, researchers, mental health practitioners, and others involved in the study of atypical sexual behaviours define paraphilias according to the guidelines set out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The most recent edition of the DSM (DSM-5) characterizes paraphilias as intense and persistent sexual interests other than sexual interest in genital stimulation or preparatory fondling with phenotypically normal, physically mature, consenting human partners. The DSM-5 defines a paraphilic disorder as a paraphilia that is currently causing distress or impairment to the individual, or a paraphilia that causes personal harm, or risk of harm, to others when acted upon (APA, 2013).

The paraphilias exist on a continuum that ranges from "normal" to abnormal. Indeed, many people are aroused by or engage in some degree of the paraphilias described below from time to time, and occasional paraphilic interests are not considered abnormal or deviant. Paraphilic interests can be exclusive, meaning that the paraphilic object is the only thing that turns the person on sexually, or they can be non-exclusive, meaning that the person is aroused by more culturally typical sexual interactions as well as the paraphilic object. This distinction between exclusive and non-exclusive paraphilias may be an important one to make for providing appropriate treatments.

4. A courtship disorder is a disturbance in one or more phases of the common Western notion of partnered sexual activity, which include (1) looking for and finding a partner; (2) approaching that partner with conversation; (3) non-genital physical touching; and (4) sexual intercourse (Freund & Blanchard, 1986). It is hypothesized that individuals with courtship disorders experience one or more of these phases in a distorted manner. The three disorders are: (1) voyeuristic disorder; (2) exhibitionistic disorder (and telephone scatologia); and (3) frotteuristic disorder. Placing each of these disorders under the umbrella term of courtship disorders makes sense because they Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

are highly comorbid (Freund & Blanchard, 1986); indeed, men with one of these disorders show elevated penile responses to stimuli depicting images associated with the other disorders (reported in Cantor et al., 2009). In addition, these paraphilic disorders are similar to one another in that they all often involve non-consenting victims. It is hypothesized that these disorders may develop because the individuals lack the proper social skills to approach partnered activity in a consenting manner.

5. 1. Contemporary societal values are too restrictive, and that general attitudes toward sexual matters change over time, as they have in the cases of masturbation and same-sex sexual behaviours; Problem: this argument largely ignores the issue of consent.

2. Other paraphilias (e.g., "homosexuality") have been removed from the DSM and that sex with children has existed throughout history. Problem: While it is true that sex with pubescent children has existed throughout history, one is hard pressed to find any example of widely condoned sex with a prepubescent child.

3. Arguments from men who have gone to countries such as Cambodia or Thailand and provided housing or school tuition for children in exchange for sex; these men often argue that the children's lives are better because of their "generosity." Problem: How can you say sex without consent is acceptable? How do you know that the children are not being harmed?

6. Paraphilias are more common in males than in females.

1. More males than females experience paraphilias because of the evolutionary sex differences based on males being able to inseminate multiple female partners for biological fitness. From this point of view, it would be beneficial for males to become aroused to a variety of stimuli that do not contain emotional content, such as fetish objects.

2. Another explanation is based on the observation that it may be the combination of sexually explicit stimuli and widespread prohibitions about sexual behaviour that drives some paraphilias; most of the sexual stimuli in Western culture are aimed at a male audience.

7. A) Cognitive-behavioural therapies B) Behaviour therapy C) Social skills training D) Modification of distorted thinking E) Relapse prevention. Most sex offender treatment follows the CBT model (Kaplan & Kreuger, 2012), usually paired with relapse-prevention (RP). Much of the work is typically done in group settings. Treatment intensity (frequency and duration of meetings) depends on recidivism risk. A variety of treatment approaches are in use today, but it is generally agreed upon that group treatment using CBT/relapse prevention with a social-skills component is the gold standard. As with much psychotherapy, therapist characteristics that maximize treatment outcome include empathy, warmth, directiveness, and rewardingness (Beech & Hamilton-Giachritsis, 2005). This model focuses on challenging an offender's cognitive distortions about sexual offending; encouraging the offender to empathize with others; getting the offender to take responsibility for offending, including a disclosure of the offence to the group; identifying personal risks for offending, including paraphilic sexual preferences; and developing personalized safety plans to address those risks (Marshall, Marshall, Serran, & Fernandez, 2006).

8. One criticism is that public access to tools such as sex offender apps may give people a false sense of security because they believe that they know where all the sex offenders are located and may not consider the many sex offenders who have never been convicted or who have yet to commit their first offence. Another criticism is that public access to sex offender registries may lead to social isolation of individuals listed in these registries, and loneliness is a major risk factor for recidivism. Thus, public awareness of a sex offender's identity may actually increase his or her risk of reoffending. Another thing to consider is who is on the registry. Convictions are not standardized; for example, a conviction of sexual assault can mean anything from something the public might think of as harassment (e.g., slapping someone on the buttocks) to violent rape. In addition, there are certain cases in which individuals might be convicted of a criminal sexual offence for actions that are of little harm to the general public.

Sexual Dysfunctions MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. Erin has difficulty talking about sex with her partner and during a discussion where her partner was urging her to talk about sex more Erin said, "My parents never talked about sex and they get along. Why do you need me to be so open about private things?" Which category of sexual problem best explains Erin's response? a) socio-cultural b) intrapsychic c) organic d) interpersonal 2. Jasmine and Calvin have been dating for six months and have recently been arguing about how often Calvin plays video games.

Which category of sexual problem best explains the decline in Jasmine and Calvin's sex life? a) socio-cultural b) intrapsychic c) organic d) interpersonal 3. Your best friend has been having problems with her husband who sometimes wouldn't orgasm at all during penetration. She's been organizing special nights with candles and lingerie, when she would tell him, "Now you'll orgasm for sure with all this sexy atmosphere." He eventually told her she made him suffer from "performance anxiety." She thinks he made that up. It's not a thing! What do you say to that? a) It is a thing—he feels a lot of pressure to orgasm quickly when you have put so much effort in creating the mood and you have these strict expectations. b) He's making it up. He's looking for excuses because he's probably masturbating and watching porn too much to be turned on by a regular woman. c) It is a thing in general, but it shouldn't be in his case since you're giving him all this extra stimulation with the candles and sexy lingerie. d) It is a term in sex therapy, but it has nothing to do with your situation. It refers to performing gender roles in society, not to having sex with someone.

4. Your close friend is getting married in a church wedding. She and her fiancé are taking preparatory lessons with the priest, required in their religion. The priest has advised them that when they have children, they should avoid raising the subject of sex with them so as not to awaken any sinful desires. What would a sex therapist say in response to this statement? a) Taboo around sexuality in childhood may make it difficult to communicate freely about their sexuality in adulthood. b) Taboo around sexuality in childhood is the most common risk factor in sexual abuse in early adolescence. c) Taboo around sexuality in childhood helps individuals appreciate the gravity of sexual decisions later in life and respect their sexual partners. d) none of the above

In Canada, what do most parents teach their children about sex? a) nothing b) topics related to pregnancy but not topics related to pleasure c) topics related to following social rules, like not being naked or touching yourself in public, and nothing related to pregnancy or pleasure d) how to follow a gender role but nothing about reproduction or pleasure 9. After Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James became a bestseller, people have been talking a lot about BDSM. When you open your Facebook one day, you see a growing discussion on your wall started by a strict Christian friend who quotes The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to prove that BDSM is a pathology.

11. Your friend from Europe heard the news that Canada has introduced a new sexual education curriculum that includes lessons about consent. He finds it very progressive that students get such a rounded education. You reply, "Yeah, well, that's kind of new in only one province now. In general, in Canada, we don't learn for example about ________ in school." a) sexual feelings, desire, or pleasure b) contraception other than condoms and the pill c) reproductive biology d) sexually transmitted infections 12. When Canadian youth see sex portrayed in the media, including on the Internet, what do most young people conclude? a) that what they see in the media is reflective of how "normal" people experience sex and sexuality b) that media are not as good a source on information as sex education in the schools c) that what they see in the media is not reflective of reality d) that what they see in the media is heavily biased towards promoting traditional Christian values and ideals about sex 13. Your friend Jenny calls you in tears. She's sure her boyfriend, who works for a renovation company, is cheating on her because she wanted to have sex when he came home from work but he didn't. He claimed to be completely wiped after eight hours of sanding floors in the summer heat and he just wanted to collapse in bed. He did look sweaty, dirty, and tired and he said he loved her very much, but Jenny is sure that a man never says no to sex. What can you tell her? a) It's a myth that men always want sex and are always ready. Sometimes they're simply too tired to think about it. b) He most likely is cheating on her. Men are genetically designed to be sex-ready and willing regardless of circumstances. c) It's a myth that men always want sex, but it's true that they're always ready. So he could have gotten an erection just to please her. d) none of the above 14. At a family dinner you say you're studying human sexuality. Your cousins are immediately interested and, against your aunt's nervous protests, start asking questions about what's true and what isn't in common knowledge about sex. You tell them, "Actually it is not a myth that ________." a) the clitoris is the only human organ whose sole function is pleasure b) women's sexuality is more complicated than men's c) sex goes downhill after marriage d) a man is always ready to have sex 15. Taylor and Tom met at a diabetes fundraiser and have been dating for a year. They're both diabetic. Tom's doctor has warned him that he might develop erectile dysfunction, but so far he hasn't had problems with erection.

Taylor, however, has been uncomfortable during sex recently, saying penetration hurt her, though she still is very much attracted to Tom and would like to have sex a lot. Her doctor never mentioned potential sex problems, so she is confused. What could be the problem? a) Diabetes can affect both men and women's genitals in the same negative way, but doctors tend to pay attention only to its effects on erection and ignore lubrication in females. b) While diabetes affects erection in men, it does not have an effect on lubrication or sensation in women, so Taylor's problem must be caused by a different condition. c) Diabetic men produce an antibody that has been proven to cause vaginal dryness in women who exchange body fluids with them. Diabetic women don't produce it and are not immune to it.

21. At a work Christmas party, John (23) got drunk and hit on his boss's daughter, Alexis. They slept together, but John regretted it the next morning, realizing that he didn't find her attractive after all. Alexis told her father that they were dating, and now John is looking for a new job to get out of this relationship. He has to stay with her until he lands a new job, but he's having trouble getting an erection when they're in bed together. His friend advises him to just pop Viagra and soldier on. Will that help? a) Viagra enables blood flow to the penis but only when a man is subjectively aroused, so it won't work if Alexis doesn't turn John on. b) Viagra enables blood flow to the penis that causes an instant physiological erection independent of the mood, so John can use it to feign arousal. c) Viagra enables blood flow to the penis that causes an instant physiological erection, but after about 20 minutes subjective arousal is necessary to sustain it, so John would have to be quick with Alexis. d) It is irrelevant because no doctor would prescribe Viagra to a healthy male in his twenties, and it's impossible to obtain the drug in any other way than through a prescription.

31. Which of the following best describes the evidence related to the cause of rapid ejaculation? a) Rapid ejaculation usually occurs because of anxiety. b) Rapid ejaculation usually occurs because of penile hypersensitivity. c) There is a rapid ejaculation gene. d) There is no consistent evidence for a cause of rapid ejaculation.

Which of the following is true of most men who have delayed ejaculation? a) There is an underlying organic cause for their problem. b) They never experience orgasm. c) They are able to experience orgasm while masturbating but not in partnered sex. d) They do not want their "dysfunction" treated because they enjoy being able to brag about how long they can stay hard.

35. Julia, your new sex therapy client, is distressed that her husband doesn't find her attractive, because he achieves orgasm rather quickly when he masturbates, but hardly ever when he penetrates her. She says that usually during sex she spreads her legs, tells him to go on, and lies there waiting for him to finish, because she's exhausted after a long day. Shouldn't it be enough for him that she's offering her vagina when he's hard? What can you tell her? a) Often an erection means that the man is somewhat aroused, but not enough to achieve orgasm. Spending some time and attention on increasing arousal before penetration may help. b) Often an erection means that the man is aroused and ready to penetrate until orgasm. If he is not ejaculating, Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

there must be a physiological cause; e.g., a new drug that he has been taking. c) Often an erection means that the man is aroused and ready to penetrate until orgasm. If he is not ejaculating, there must be a psychological cause; e.g., he's thinking about work or another sexual partner. d) both B and C 36. What does Binik's approach to treating dyspareunia emphasize? a) treating the pain but ignoring the association with sex b) focusing on the sexual relationship and ignoring the pain because it will eventually dissipate c) conditioning women with dyspareunia to have a more positive opinion of sexual intercourse by pairing intercourse with other sensual pleasures including fragrances and soothing music d) having women complete "Binik's inventory," which assesses whether dyspareunia is the result of vulvar, vaginal, or psychological problems 37. Anne is not aroused during sex so she is not producing lubrication, making sexual penetration difficult. What should the first step be in Anne's attempt to correct this problem? a) trying a plant-based non-petroleum lubricant b) trying a water-based lubricant c) examining why she is not aroused by her partner d) stopping all medications linked to lubrication (e.g., anti-depressants and oral contraceptives) 38. When using condoms, it is important to use which type of lubricant? a) oil-based lubricant b) water-based lubricant c) plant-based lubricant d) almond oil lubricant 39. Why did Lonnie Barbach recommend changing the disorder named "anorgasmia" to "preorgasmia"? a) because the main problem is not that they can't have an orgasm, but that they have yet to have an orgasm b) because the main problem women report is that they have orgasms too soon, not that they don't have orgasms c) because the main group of females who report not having orgasms are not yet sexually mature d) because the physiological response of women who report not having orgasms is very similar to the physiological response of "normal women" about to have an orgasm 40. Your friend Jeff, a college student, started dating Allison, and they had their first sexual intercourse together.

During penetration, Jeff noticed that Allison started rubbing her clitoris. He tells you that he feels cheated because Allison basically masturbated when he was inside her, and this is not how a woman should orgasm when with a man. What can you say to that? a) Most women need clitoral stimulation for orgasm, so she might not have had an orgasm at all without it. It's natural. b) Most women achieve orgasm through vaginal stimulation, but they sometimes use clitoral stimulation when their partner does not arouse them enough with penetration, so Jeff should think about that. c) Many women who can't achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration can do it through anal penetration, so Jeff and Alison should try that. d) Most women need clitoral stimulation for orgasm when their sexual responses are not developed fully. Alison should work on moving on to the next stage—vaginal orgasm.

41. A few college friends are having a girls-only night in a residence room. Two bottles of Moscato embolden them to start sharing stories of the best orgasm ever, to a lot of excited giggles. Only one girl, Ashley, isn't joining Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

in the fun, sitting quietly with an embarrassed expression. When the others question her, she admits she's never masturbated or had an orgasm in her life. A barrage of advice ensues. Which suggestion would be the most reasonable for Ashley to start with? a) You should totally check out this book, For Yourself: the Fulfillment of Female Sexuality by Lonnie Garfield Barbach. It will really help you get to know your body. b) You should get a boyfriend and lose your virginity as soon as possible. A guy will know how what make you tick. He'll know how and where to touch you. c) What you need is a good vibrator! I'll go shopping with you! Just put it in, turn it on, and wait—you'll orgasm before you know it. d) Oh, no! You might be frigid! My sister had that. Go see a doctor—you can get one of those new pink Viagra pills, right?

42. What is the recommended treatment for most women with anorgasmia? a) finding a new sexual partner b) the use of lubricants c) hormone therapy d) bibliotherapy 43. What is thought to be the primary cause of anorgasmia in women? a) circulatory problems b) side effects from medications c) lack of knowledge about her own body d) low estrogen 44. Milena is looking forward to having sex with her partner, but as soon as his body comes in contact with hers, she panics. Which sexual disorder that was removed from the DSM-5 is Milena experiencing? a) sexual aversion disorder b) dyspareunia c) hypoactive sexual desire disorder d) anorgasmia 45. You're catching up over coffee with your good friend, Linda, who confesses in a whisper that she's been recently feeling pain during intercourse with her long-time boyfriend, Juan. She hasn't told anyone yet. She's hasn't noticed bleeding or anything out of the ordinary, and it doesn't hurt at other times, only when she has sex.

Juan likes to thrust quite hard, and she's not always into it. What would you advise her? a) Try to find a good doctor who will listen to you and take time to reproduce the pain during examination. It can be anything from an infection to not being aroused. b) Try lube. It looks like a typical case of too much friction. It'll feel really good when you get the right lubrication. c) Go to a drugstore and get an over-the-counter vaginal cream. It's a yeast infection. A week of treatment and you'll be back to normal. d) none of the above 46. Andrea is receiving treatment for a sexual dysfunction that involves the insertion of a vaginal dilator in combination with relaxation training. What disorder is Andrea likely being treated for? a) dyspareunia b) anorgasmic disorder c) vaginismus Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

d) preorgasmic disorder 47. You're a sex therapist. Your new client came to you because her family doctor told her she had vaginismus and prescribed dilators, but she isn't so sure about the treatment.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. The APA requires empirical evidence of a disorder to include it on the DSM; however, out of millions of doctor's visits sadomasochism was not mentioned even once. Thus there isn't empirical support that sexual sadism Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

or sexual masochism is a "disorder" in and of itself, and it was recommended that these issues be included in the section on variations in sexual behaviour, not as pathological. This is controversial because members of the BDSM community report that they sometimes suffer distress due to the stigma associated with "kink" preference and wish for psychological issues related to BDSM to be included somewhere on the DSM-5 as a result. The result is that the DSM-5 recognizes sexual sadism and sexual masochism as pathological only if a person is suffering distress because of the preference for these sexual behaviours.

2. 1. Prolonged bleeding during childbirth can cause low hemoglobin level.

2. Breastfeeding produces prolactin which can cause vaginal dryness.

3. New parents may be too exhausted for sex, as most newborns don't sleep through the night.

4. The mother may have been prescribed the hormonal contraceptive Depo-Provera, which can reduce sexual desire.

3. Students may mention any five of the following: 1. "Real" sex equals intercourse.

2. Sexual satisfaction equals orgasm.

3. Bigger is better (when it comes to breasts and penises).

4. A man always wants and is always ready to have sex.

5. Women's sexuality is more complicated than men's.

6. Sex should be natural and spontaneous.

7. Talking ruins the mood.

8. You shouldn't start anything you can't finish.

9. Sex goes downhill after marriage; it gets even worse after you have children.

4. In the initial stage, the sex therapist asks the couple to spend time each day touching each other, for approximately 20 minutes each, with no breast, genital, or anal contact permitted. This phase allows couples to reconnect physically without having the expectation that sex will follow. Thus, performance anxiety is circumvented and the individuals are able to attend to the sheer sensations of touching and being touched without having to wonder if their genitals will function adequately.

In the second phase, couples are instructed to touch one another from head to toe, including the genitalia, without focusing on any particular area and with no particular aim, other than enjoying the pleasure of touch.

The third phase consists of a variety of different exercises specific to a given difficulty, but in most cases the couple is instructed to engage in on-demand genital pleasuring. The objective at this point is to allow the couple to experience heightened sexual pleasure as well as to target the sexual symptom for elimination without triggering the anxiety and spectatoring engendered by the expectation of intercourse. The goal of the therapy is to reduce anxiety related to performance.

Therapy is considered successful when penetration is successful.

5. Pro: Some argue that the medication will help women and that women have the right to access drugs that may help them with a sexual problem.

Con: The drugs have not been shown to be effective and allowing them may cause widespread misunderstanding about desire in women. Objections include the assumption that low desire is problematic, the assumption that low desire is biochemical in origin, whether a disease model of low desire is appropriate, whether low desire can even be treated, and whether low desire should be treated, etc. Women could take a medication that does harm to solve a problem that either doesn't really exist or is not actually treatable.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. Prior to 1983, the law defined rape exclusively as forced heterosexual intercourse enacted by a man on a woman (i.e., sexual penetration of a woman's vagina by a man's penis), outside of marriage. The rape law was criticized for being limited to sexual penetration, defining only males as perpetrators and females as victims, and Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

excluding husbands from being charged with rape. In addition, a victim's prior sexual activities could be considered as evidence of her consent, which called into question her credibility as a victim. Under this law, many cases of rape did not proceed to trial or were dismissed in the courts simply because the woman had engaged in prior consensual sex with the alleged perpetrator or had engaged in sexual intercourse with a number of other partners prior to her involvement with the alleged perpetrator.

In 1983, the Criminal Code of Canada was amended, with an expanded definition of sexual assault under the general heading of "Assault," to make it easier for victims to report sexual assaults to police. The Parliament of Canada removed rape and indecent assault as specific offences and replaced them with three levels of seriousness of sexual assault: (1) sexual assault; (2) sexual assault with a weapon, threats to a third party, or causing bodily harm; and (3) aggravated sexual assault (Criminal Code, sections 271–3). The level of seriousness of the assault was determined by the amount of force used and the degree of injury sustained by the victim. In essence, these amendments made it possible for a spouse of either sex to be charged with sexual assault. Furthermore, the primary aims of the changes were to de-emphasize the sexual nature of the offence and to improve the conditions for the victims of sexual assault, so they no longer needed to defend their reputation in court.

2. Although many people today still use the term rape to refer to forced sexual intercourse, the Canadian Criminal Code exclusively uses the term sexual assault to refer to a range of non-consensual sexual experiences, including unwanted touching; oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse; and sexual violence. Consent is not obtained simply because of marital or cohabitational status or because of previous consensual relations. In addition, neither a silent or ambiguous response to sexual initiation nor tacit approval given while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (Figure 17.2) or while unconscious is a satisfactory indicator of sexual consent. Finally, the partner, with few exceptions, must be 16 years of age or older to legally consent to sexual intercourse.

3. Rape trauma syndrome (RTS), which describes a two-phase response pattern consisting of an acute, or disruptive, phase and a reorganization phase. During the acute phase, which begins immediately following a sexual assault, it is common for victims to experience a range of emotional reactions such as anxiety, intense fear, anger, depression, disbelief, and vulnerability. In particular, a woman may blame herself for what happened, possibly reflecting broader sociocultural attitudes that assign blame to women for their own victimization and, by default, excuse the perpetrator. The emotional reactions in this phase often escalate and persist for one to two months but then slowly begin to decrease, although the sexual assault is never forgotten. In the reorganization phase, which can last from months to years, victims attempt to restore order in their lives and re-establish a sense of control. Many victims report that making some lifestyle changes, such as changing where they live or what they do for work, helps them to regain control and can even lead to positive growth.

4. Myth 1: Women cause men to sexually assault by the way they look or dress. This myth is simply not true.

Studies have shown that women are sexually assaulted while wearing different types of clothes, and women of all ages and physical body types have been sexually assaulted. One study that interviewed individuals who were arrested for sexual assaults found that the thing they most often look for is a victim who seems to be vulnerable, not one who is particularly attractive or dressed in a certain way (Stevens, 1994).

Myth 2: It is not sexual assault if either person is drunk or under the influence of drugs at the time of the assault. If a person's judgment is impaired by alcohol or drugs, or if the use of drugs or alcohol has left a person unconscious, he or she cannot legally give consent. As a result, having sex with someone who is impaired or unconscious is defined as sexual assault. Conversely, being drunk or under the influence of drugs is not an acceptable defence for committing sexual assault.

Myth 3: Rapists come from a certain demographic of people: non-white, lower class, "criminal types." Individuals who commit sexual assault come from every racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, age, and social group. Similarly, victims come from every type of demographic group. It is also important to consider that sexual assaults are substantially underreported and often take place in domestic situations, where the perpetrator may not be Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

otherwise involved with the criminal justice system.

Myth 4: Women often make false reports of sexual assault. Women rarely make false reports of having been sexually assaulted. In fact, sexual assault is a highly underreported crime. Some estimates from victimization surveys indicate that only 5 to 10 per cent of sexual assaults are reported to police. In addition, the estimated rate of false accusation of sexual assault has been shown to be similar to the rate for other crimes, at 2 to 10 per cent (Lisak, Gardinier, Nicksa, & Cote, 2010).

Myth 5: You can tell a rapist by the way he looks. Individuals who commit sexual assault are not easily identifiable based on appearance. Some may appear friendly, normal, and non-threatening. Many are young, married, and have children.

Myth 6: Sexual assault usually occurs outside and at night. This myth is only partly true. While 43 per cent of sexual assaults were found to occur between 6 p.m. and midnight and 24 per cent were found to occur between midnight and 6 a.m., these assaults were not typically occurring out in public (Greenfeld, 1997). Indeed, most assaults (60 per cent) occur in a private home, with the largest percentage (38 per cent) occurring in the victim’s own home.

Myth 7: Sexual assault usually occurs between strangers. Despite the fear that dangerous men are lurking in bushes or dark alleys waiting for their potential victims, most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. This is especially true among university students (see Figure 17.6).

Myth 8: Sexual assault is an impulsive act of sexual gratification. Sexual assault is primarily an act of violence and is used as a way to obtain power over another person. Although a person may want to have sex, he or she has the ability to not act on such desires or motivations. A person’s suggestion to the contrary should be seen as more of a threat than an indication of desire or physical necessity (e.g., a man’s statement that he will be in great physical pain without having sex is as an invalid, coercive tactic).

Myth 9: If a victim didn’t physically fight back, she or he wasn’t really sexually assaulted. Different people respond to traumatic, life-threatening events in different ways. Some people may fight their assailant with all of their strength, whereas others may respond in a non-aggressive, seemingly passive manner. Whatever a person does to survive an assault should not reflect on the nature of the crime committed against him or her.

Myth 10: A person cannot be sexually assaulted by her or his intimate partner. Within an intimate relationship, each partner must give consent each time sexual relations occur, and each may choose to say “no” for any reason.

If one partner forces the other to have sex against her or his will, the act constitutes sexual assault. In addition, if a person changes her or his mind about having sex after first consenting, that person’s partner should stop.

Continuing with the sexual activity despite a partner’s protests, or using verbal or physical coercion to obtain sex, is non-consensual and is legally considered to be sexual assault.

Most countries offer their citizens the legal right to say “no” to sex with anyone, including a spouse or a partner.

Indeed, as noted previously in this chapter, sexual assault within a marriage has been illegal in Canada since 1983.

Yet marital rape does occur even where it is illegal, and an estimated 7 to 25 per cent of wives are raped at least once during their marriage (Russell, 1990).

5. Myth A dispelled: Men arrested for committing sexual assault report that they look for victims based on how easy it will be to commit the crime, not based on appearance.

Myth B dispelled: About 25 per cent of sexual assaults occur during the day and at least 60 per cent occur in private homes.

6. 1. Remind them that sexual assault is definitively against the law and police should be called.

2. Remind them they are not at fault; although a victim is not responsible for the sexual assault, he or she may be able to take control over what happens after the event.

3. If any medical care is needed, this should be obtained immediately; medical practitioners can also obtain evidence from the body and clothing that may be very important for a successful criminal prosecution of the assailant.

Do not force a victim you know to take action; just provide emotional support.

7. 1. Young male syndrome: Young male syndrome refers to a route in which some individuals, usually young men, are willing to engage in risky, violent, and competitive behaviour in order to demonstrate their dominance and willingness to incur risks to attain goals. The incidence of their behaviour including sexual assault and other crimes, peaks in late adolescence and early adulthood and then desists when important life events (e.g., employment, marriage) occur in adulthood.

2. Competitive disadvantage: Competitive disadvantage describes a route in which some children begin life with neurodevelopmental insults (i.e., brain damage due to acute or chronic trauma) and are raised in disadvantaged environments (e.g., single-parent, poor, chaotic, and/or abusive households).

3. Psychopathy: Psychopaths show no signs of early neurodevelopmental perturbations.

8. The University of Calgary conducted a meta-analysis on the consequences of workplace sexual harassment. In this study, they found that not only were victims susceptible to decreased productivity, but their co-workers also showed decreased productivity as well as increased conflict among each other. This was seen as contributing to increased absenteeism, loss of staff through resignations or firings, and overall decreased job satisfaction.

Similarly, sexual harassment in schools can lead to students, not only previous victims, leaving school to avoid future harassment. Organizations can work to avoid such consequences by adopting clear anti-harassment policies and by acting quickly to resolve any complaints through a fair and thorough process. This will prevent future incidents of sexual harassment as well as stop a snowball effect of negative organizational consequences.

As a co-worker or as a student colleague, you should work to avoid exacerbating a problem–offer support to anyone who reports having experienced sexual harassment, but avoid participating in idle gossip or spreading rumours related to the incident.

9. Answers may vary. Sociocultural theories, based largely on feminist perspectives, suggest that gender inequality and sexism in society leads to sexual harassment. That is, sexual harassment occurs in various forms because of society's stereotypical view that males are dominant and superior to women. In turn, sexual harassment then contributes to maintaining gender stratifications by highlighting sex-role expectations. These gender stratifications occur at individual (e.g., among employees) and organizational levels. According to this theory, men and women are socialized to expect specific ways of interaction, with men as aggressive and dominant and women as passive and accepting.

According to organizational theory, sexual harassment occurs because of a wide range of organizational issues such as power and status inequalities. Similar to the sociocultural theory, the organizational theory suggests that power differentials within an organization affect the likelihood that sexual harassment will take place. however, the difference is that the focus of power differentials is not gender specific. Sexual harassment, which can be perpetrated by males or females, is often seen as an attempt to gain power within an organization. In addition to power differentials, organizational theory encompasses other contributing factors of sexual harassment, including permissiveness of the organizational climate, gendered occupations, and organizational ethics and norms.

A relatively recent and widely reported case that illustrates some of the key tenets of the organizational theory of sexual harassment is that of successful business executive and one-time Republican front-runner for US president Herman Cain. In late 2011, there were reports that Cain had sexually harassed several female employees during his tenure as CEO at the National Restaurant Association. In at least two of the cases, the women had previously settled civil suits with the association in exchange for their agreement to not discuss the allegations further. One of the women who publicly came forward reported that Cain had sexually assaulted her when she approached him for assistance in getting her job back at the association or finding a new job; when she questioned him about what he was doing, he replied, "You want a job, right?" Based on the allegations, this presents an apparent example of quid pro quo sexual harassment, in which an individual in a position of great authority attempted to use his power over this woman to gain sexual favours.

Although the organizational theory helps to explain contextual factors of sexual harassment, it does not focus on the influence of individual differences in attitudes and beliefs. In contrast, the sex-role spillover theory attempts to integrate contextual characteristics and individual gender-based beliefs. The foundation of this theory is that men and women have pre-existing beliefs and gender-based expectations for how to behave in various settings (e.g., workplace, school), regardless of whether these beliefs and expectations are applicable to a particular setting. For example, a harasser may have the belief that a woman should not be in a position of managing others despite the organizational perspective that workers should be able to advance and be in leadership positions without regard to gender. As a result of this gap between the individual belief and the organizational perspective, conflict is likely to arise in which the harasser’s sex- role stereotypes are different from actual gender roles. Further, this would explain why some women in positions not traditionally held by women (e.g., high-ranking female military officers, female CEOs of large corporations) experience sexual harassment.

The natural/biological theory posits that sexual harassment signifies an expression of sexual attraction. According to this theory, because men have a stronger innate drive to be sexually aggressive and find a mate than do women, men who sexually harass women are simply using their power to try to maximize their chances of gaining sexual access and procreating. Thus, sexually aggressive behaviour may occur at work or in other inappropriate situations to increase these chances. Although this theory has a significant strength in acknowledging the impact of innate human instincts, there are several weaknesses. For example, sexual harassment in particular and sexual coercion in general are treated in very simplistic ways, with a lack of consideration of other individual and interpersonal factors. Also, proving the validity of this theory is difficult given that studies cannot be easily designed to test it.

The four-factor theory incorporates key components of the previously mentioned theories. According to this theory, there need to be four conditions present for sexual harassment to occur: (1) the person needs to be motivated to harass by any number of factors (e.g., power, sexual attraction), (2) the person must overcome cognitive inhibitions to not harass, (3) the person must overcome societal and cultural inhibitions to not harass (e.g., an organization’s anti-harassment policies), and (4) the person must overcome any resistance by the victim.

Relative to the single-factor theories, the four- factor theory has been better supported by empirical research findings. Therefore, it seems likely that a combination of individual, sociocultural, and organizational factors lead to sexual harassment.

Tell him it's proven that watching violent pornography at a young age often results in sexually aggressive behaviour. b) Do nothing. Fourteen is the developmentally appropriate age for viewing SEM, and the only proven effect of pornography on youth is becoming more permissive. c) In a way that wouldn't embarrass Troy, talk to him about safe sex. Exposure to violent pornography at a young age often makes boys more permissive but not aggressive in sexual behaviours. d) Do nothing this time, but observe Troy over the weekend to see if he does it again. Only a fraction of youth aged 10 to 14 watch SEM intentionally, so he most likely just stumbled upon it by accident.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. The legalization of STW is a legal option for dealing with sex trade work by making it legal but subject to regulations. The decriminalization of STW is a legal option for dealing with sex trade work by repealing all laws governing it. Legalizing STW might lead to laws that protect STWs and legitimize the practice. STWs may also Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

then be eligible for benefits such as health care, workers' rights, and pensions. Decriminalizing sex work merely removes laws and provides no guidance on other aspects.

2. 1. Criminalization: will help eliminate street based prostitution and underage STWs 2. Legalization (regulation): believe that rules about licensing, medical exams, zoning and registering brothels would be a benefit to both STWs and society 3. Abolition: punishes those who exploit, coerce, or harm STWs 4. Decriminalization: preferred by those who see the buying and selling of sex as a personal choice between consenting adults. The intent is to affirm STWs and provide them a legitimate place in society.

3. First, customers are more likely to perceive male STWs as better able to defend themselves compared to female STWs. Second, customers who seek out male STWs—most of whom are gay or bisexual men, but also women and men who do not define as gay or bisexual—may be less likely to engage in violent behaviour. In particular, most gay men are less physically aggressive than are most heterosexual men; perhaps this is the case because when men become comfortable sexualizing other men, as most gay men have, it becomes incompatible for them to aggress against other men.

Third, women have a lower status in society compared to men.

Fourth, because male STWs are generally not stigmatized or marginalized to the degree that female STWs are, and because they are particularly not stigmatized within the gay community, they may be less likely to be targeted for victimization.

4. Dancers new to their work talk about the positive aspects, such as the money, flexible hours, and general enjoyment. Some dancers describe their time on stage as spiritual, and Barton and Hardesty (2010) interpret this as a time when dancers are in "flow," a term used to describe something akin to a peak experience.

After a few years, however, many dancers begin to focus on the costs of their work, such as the effects of substance use and abuse, strain on the body, and the aggressiveness of some abusive patrons (Barton, 2007).

Some dancers also report that their work interferes with their private lives. Indeed, many young dancers who hide their occupation from family and friends report feeling the strain of leading a "double life."

5. Definitions of sexually explicit material (SEM) vary, depending on an individual's or group's views on sex and sexuality. Some feminists distinguish between erotic SEM and SEM that is violent and/or degrading to women (Garos, Beggan, Kluck, & Easton, 2004). The word erotica refers to sexual material that shows equal enjoyment of sexuality in both men and women, and the word pornography refers to sexual material that presents sexuality in a manner that is unequal, unbalanced, violent, or degrading toward men or women. Most sexually explicit videos today would fall more into the category of erotica rather than pornography. Pornography may increase the risk of developing sexually deviant tendencies, committing sexual offences, developing problems in one's intimate relationships, and accepting rape myths.

6. Negative outcomes associated with SEM: 1. Exposure to pornography is associated with an increased risk of developing sexually deviant tendencies, committing sexual offences, developing problems in one's intimate relationships, and accepting rape myths.

2. Some viewers experience distorted perceptions of sexuality, devaluation of marriage and monogamy, and increased aggression.

3. Promotes hyper-masculine views of gay men and promotes unsafe, unrealistic sex practices as "real."

4. Violent pornography may be linked to negative outcomes for people predisposed to aggression.

Positive outcomes Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

1. Women show elevated moods after viewing erotica.

2. People who view erotica have a more positive view of women in general.

3. Access to SEM is linked to a reduction in sex crime rates.

7. Some people advocate that there should be less violence on television and that rules about erotica on television may be too strict. Studies indicate that exposure to erotica on TV has no effect except to create a more open opinion towards sex in an individual, which could be considered healthy. Studies have shown that violence on television is positively correlated with violent action. It seems that research indicates a more positive societal outcome from erotica on television than from violence.

ESSAY QUESTIONS 1. 1. Make sure the program is accessible to all children in the school. Make sure that there is material relevant to SGD children and children with disabilities. Be aware of cultural diversity in the classroom and structure the program accordingly. For example, if there are several students who are new to Canada, Ms Waltz may wish to Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

cover anatomy in more detail as they may not have been taught this in their previous home country.

2. Make sure the content is age-appropriate. Realize that many will be choosing to try sex soon and need to know about both pregnancy and STIs. Consider having open discussions with students to find out any myths or misconceptions they may have or reasons why they may choose not to use condoms. Provide the information needed to change their minds about condom use.

3. Develop a program that includes skill-building, such as talking to a partner about using a condom, purchasing condoms, or "putting a condom on a banana."

4. Make sure she, as the teacher, knows what she is talking about in the classroom and that she is well-informed on the latest information before teaching it to students.

5. Evaluate the program to whatever extent she can, ask for student feedback and if possible have discussions with past students (in the future) to see if there were any gaps or places where improvements may be needed.

2. ETHICS: Abstinence-only programs can be viewed as unethical because they withhold some of the information people need to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Santelli et al. (2006) agree and further note that such programs are particularly inadequate for sexually experienced youth and SGD youth. Indeed, Orton (1994) remarks that abstinence-only programs stigmatize youth "in whom abstinence is impossible, unrealistic, or not desirable." Many SGD youth suffer because the heterosexist nature of abstinence-only curriculum ignores sexual diversity and may leave SGD students feeling marginalized and uninformed; even worse, SGD identities may be negatively and explicitly denounced in such programs (Fisher, 2009; Santelli et al., 2006).

EFFECTIVENESS: The long-term effectiveness of abstinence-only programs on reducing sexual behaviour among teens has not been demonstrated in the majority of studies. For example, Kohler, Manhart, and Lafferty (2008) compared sexual behaviour among US teenagers 15 to 19 years of age who had received (1) no sex education, (2) abstinence-only education, or (3) comprehensive sex education. The results indicated that, similar to a complete lack of sex education, abstinence-only education programming did not decrease the likelihood of reporting a history of sexual intercourse, pregnancy, or STIs. 3. Teens in 2002 had sex with fewer partners and appeared to start having sex at a later age but had sex more frequently than teens in 1989. Teens were more likely to have used condoms than teens in 1989 and were less likely to become pregnant. However teens in the 2000s were more likely to be infected with an STI than teens in the 1980s indicating that sex education regarding prevention of sexually transmitted infections may need to change in order to ensure the most positive outcomes for teens.

4. When sexual orientation is not a part of the curriculum, SGD teens are more likely to engage in sexual intercourse in adolescence and are more likely to have negative sexual outcomes. This is probably due to the fact that sex education that does not discuss sexual orientations other than heterosexuality alienates these teens and leaves them, essentially, without information they feel applies to then and that they can use to make good, positive choices about sex. In addition, the lack of sex education about sexual orientation may be causing homophobia and transphobia in schools as well as contributing to bullying and harassment of SGD teens. By including sexual orientation in sex education not only would there be a higher likelihood of positive sexual outcomes for SGD teens but there would also be a reduction in homophobia and transphobia in the schools, improving the quality of everyday life for these teens.

5. Answers may vary but should include some of the following content: Young Canadians who have access to visual media and the Internet will likely be exposed to sexual content. Whether purposefully or, more often, passively, the media is educating young people about sex, and it is not always in a positive, informative, and unbiased way. What can teens and those who care for them do to lessen the negative impact of sex-related messages from the media? One of the easiest and most effective solutions is to ensure that young people are media literate, meaning that they know how to critically assess what they see and read in the media, particularly on the Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Introduction, Third Edition © Oxford University Press Canada, 2020

Internet. Indeed, the Canadian Guidelines (PHAC, 2008) encourages educators to discuss media literacy with youth, and concerned organizations such as Media Smarts (http://mediasmarts.ca) provide aids to help educators teach students how to evaluate media sources. In the future, with the rise of mobile Internet devices and other communications technologies that offer constant access to media content, media literacy will undoubtedly become even more important as more and more young people find themselves bombarded with more and more media messages about sexuality.

6. Peers play an important role in influencing youth sexual behaviour, as perceived norms for sexual activity are closely tied to one's social environment. Young people tend to look to their peers for advice and for approval of their actions. In fact, they found that students' perceptions of whether their peers were engaging in sexual intercourse predicted initiation of intercourse. In other words, students who thought their peers were having sex were more likely to have done so themselves. Social norms about sexual behaviour are an important factor in a number of theories relating to sexual behaviour, including the IMB model.

7. Broadly speaking, there are two main types of sex education programs in North America: comprehensive programs and abstinence-only programs. Comprehensive sex education programs promote both abstaining from sexual activity and employing strategies to protect oneself from STIs and unintended pregnancy. This second goal is based on the understanding that many teenagers engage in sexual behaviour before marriage. Abstinence-only programs, on the other hand, typically solely promote postponing intercourse until marriage (or simply until later in life).

8. Answers may include some of the following information: The IMB model specifies that sexual health behaviours are initiated and maintained by three factors: 1. Information or knowledge about the behaviour, which should be easily translated into action to reduce sexual health risks and promote healthy sexuality (W.A. Fisher & Fisher, 1993). For example, education about contraceptive methods should not just stop at a definition. Imagine you were first learning about what a condom is for, and all you were given was a short description and a picture; would that be enough for you to successfully use one? Probably not: how would you know where to find a condom, which side to use, or when to put it on? It is important to include practical information, such as where condoms can be found in one's local community, and how to discuss using condoms with a partner (PHAC, 2008).

2. Motivation to apply knowledge in order to maintain sexual health, which results from the combined effect of emotional, personal, and social motivations (W.A. Fisher & Fisher, 1998; motivation). Emotional motivation is the level of comfort a person has with sexuality and specific sexual health behaviours. This level of comfort will influence whether someone will avoid or seek out information about sex. Personal motivation, on the other hand, refers to the beliefs and values a person has about practising specific sexual health behaviours. For example, if someone is not concerned about getting an STI during oral sex, he or she is less likely to use a condom in this situation. Social motivation relates to perceptions of social norms: in other words, what your friends think about engaging in a sexual health behaviour, like unsafe sex, and how much support you think you'll get from them if you engage in that behaviour. 3. Behavioural skills enabling someone to engage in sexual health behaviour, which includes objective skills (e.g., being able to negotiate condom use with a partner) as well as the feeling of being capable of performing a behaviour, termed self-efficacy (Bandura, 1989; W.A. Fisher & Fisher, 1993). So it is not just about whether you know what to do but whether you think you can do it and do it well! As seen in Figure 9.1, the IMB model assumes that information and motivation drive the development and application of related behavioural skills. These skills not only initiate sexual health behaviours, they also maintain them in order to aid in the reduction of risky sexual behaviours. Although both information and motivation are thought to influence whether behavioural skills are applied to reduce negative sexual behaviours, they are thought to be unrelated to one another. For example, although someone may not know about the risks of contracting STIs from unprotected sex, that person may not necessarily engage in appropriate sexual health behaviours if she or he feels uncomfortable discussing condom use with a partner or believes no one in her or his peer groups uses condoms.
