THEORY Sigmund Freud

(1856-1939)
 He believed that early
experiences are very
important in human
development.
 Instinct
 Erogenous zones or
Pleasure areas
“The only person with
 Fixation
whom you have to compare
yourself is you in the past.”
 FIVE PSYCHOSEXUAL STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT
Oral Stage (0-1 year)

Anal Stage (2-4 years) Genital Stage (12 years –

Phallic Stage (4-6 years) adult)

Latency Stage (6–12 years) Infantile Stage - the most crucial for
personality
formation.

HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
What is puberty?
• It is the period of life, generally between
the ages of 10 to 15 years old, when the
reproductive organs grow to their adult
size and become functional under the
 influence of rising levels of gonadal
hormones (testosterones in males and
estrogen in females)
Erogenous Zone
• It refer to the parts of the body that are
primarily receptive and increase sexual
arousal when touched in a sexual manner.
• Commonly known erogenous zones are
the Mouth, Breasts, Genitals and Anus. •
Other common areas may include neck,
thighs, abdomen, and feet.
What is sexual self?
• It is the part of yourself where you learn and
understand your sexual development and how
people’s sexual activity, beliefs, misconceptions
and unlimited access from the internet on sex can
influence your own sexual behaviors and
responses.
• Sexual development – is a lifelong process that
starts at the moment of conception (Tsiaras,
2006).
HUMAN SEXUALITY

• It is much more than sexual feelings or sexual

intercourse.
• It is an important part of who a person is and what
she/he will become which includes all the
 feelings, thoughts, and behaviors associated with
being female or male, being attractive and being
in love as well as being in relationship that
include sexual intimacy and sensual and sexual
activity.
HUMAN SEXUALITY
CHEMISTRY OF LUST, LOVE AND
ATTACHMENT
HUMAN SEXUAL BEHAVIOR
• It is defined as any activity – solitary, between two
persons, or in a group – that induces sexual
arousal.
• Two major factors:
• Inherited Sexual Response patterns that have
evolved as a means of ensuring reproduction and
that become part of each individual’s genetic
inheritance.
• Degree of restraint or other types of influence by
society in the expression of his sexuality.
TYPES SEXUAL BEHAVIOR

• SOLITARY BEHAVIOR
- Self-gratification means self-stimulation that
leads to sexual arousal or sexual climax. - most
common in males frequently among the unmarried.
- Gratify themselves through fantasy and
being exposed to sexual stimuli especially from
advertising and social media.
TYPES SEXUAL BEHAVIOR

• SOCIOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR -
Heterosexual behavior is the greatest amount of
sociosexual behavior that occurs between one male
and one female.
- Physical contact involving necking or petting
is considered as an ingredient of the learning
process.
 - Petting and Coitus
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE
• Excitement phase
- it is caused by increase in pulse and blood
pressure; a sudden rise in blood supply to the
surface of the body.
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE
• Plateau phase
- it is generally caused of brief duration. - if
stimulation is continued, orgasm usually occurs.
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE
• Sexual Climax
- it is marked by a feeling of abrupt, intense
pleasure, a rapid increase in pulse rate and blood
pressure, and spasms of the pelvic muscles
causing contractions of the female reproductive
organ and ejaculation by the male.
- it may last for a few seconds (normally not
over ten).
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE
• Resolution phase
- it is the last stage that refers to the return to
a normal or subnormal physiological state. -
females are physically capable of repeated
orgasms without the intervening “rest period”
required by males.
NERVOUS SYSTEM FACTORS

• The entire nervous system plays a significant role

 during sexual response.
• Hypothalamus and limbic system – parts of the
brain believed to be responsible for regulating the

sexual response.
SEXUAL PROBLEMS

• Physiological Problems
• Vaginal Infections
• Retroverted Uteri
 • Prostatitis
• Adrenal Tumors
• Psychological Problems
• Premature emission of semen
• Erectile impotence
• Ejaculatory impotence
• Vaginismus

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
DISEASES (STDs)
• Infections transmitted from an infected person to
an uninfected person through sexual contact.
Natural Methods of
Contraception
• It is family planning methods that do not involve any
chemical or foreign body introduction into the human body.
Natural Methods of
Contraception
• Abstinence
- refraining from sexual intercourse.
- most effective natural birth control method with
0% fail rate.
- most effective way to avoid STDs.
Natural Methods of
Contraception
• Calendar Method
- also called as the rhythm method.
- entails withholding from coitus during the days
that woman is fertile.
- 3 to 4 days before and after ovulation.
 Natural Methods of
Contraception
• Basal Body Temperature - before
the day and during ovulation BBT falls at 0.5
Fahrenheit.
- woman must record her temperature every morning
 before any activity.
Natural Methods of
Contraception
• Cervical Mucus Method
- during ovulation, cervical mucus is
copious, thin, and watery. (Fertile) - woman
must avoid coitus during
those days to prevent conception.

Natural Methods
of
Contraception
• Symptothermal Method
- is a combination of BBT and cervical mucus
method.
- woman should abstain from coitus three
days after a rise in her temperature or on the fourth
day after the peak of a mucus change.
Natural Methods of
Contraception
• Ovulation Detection
- uses an over-the-counter kit that
requires urine sample of the woman. - the kit
can predict ovulation through surge of
luteinizing hormone (LH) that happens 12 to
24 hours before ovulation.
Natural Methods of
 Contraception
• Coitus Interruptus (Withdrawal)
- one of the oldest methods that prevents
conception.
- man withdraws the moment he
ejaculates to emit the spermatozoa outside
of the female reproductive organ.
Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• It is family planning methods that involve chemical
 or artificial body introduction into the
human body.

Artificial
Methods of
Contraception
• Transdermal Patch
- contains both estrogen and progesterone. - woman
should apply one patch every week for three weeks on
the upper outer arm, upper torso, abdomen, or

buttocks.
Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Oral Contraceptives
- also known as the pill, oral contraceptives contain
synthetic estrogen and progesterone. - first Sunday
after the beginning of menstrual flow.

Artificial Methods of
Contraception
 • Vaginal Ring
- releases a combination of estrogen and
progesterone.
- inserted into the female reproductive organ and

remains there for three weeks.

Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Subdermal Implants
- two rod-like implants inserted under the skin of the
woman during her menses or on the seventh day of her
menstruation.
- effective three to five years.

Artificial
Methods of
Contraception
• Hormonal Injections
 - contains medroxyprogesteron.
- usually given once every 12 weeks

intramuscularly.
Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Intrauterine Device (IUD)
- a small T-shaped object containing progesterone
that is inserted into the uterus via female
reproductive organ.
- effective for five to seven years.

Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Chemical Barriers
- spermicides, vaginal gels and creams, and
glycerin films are used to cause the death of
sperms.
- it cannot prevent STDs.

Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Diaphragm
- circular, rubber disk that fits the cervix and
should be placed before coitus. - inhibiting the
entrance of the sperm into the female reproductive
organ.
 Artificial Methods
of
Contraception
• Cervical Cap
- made of soft rubber and fitted on the rim of
the cervix.
- shaped like a thimble with a thin rim, and could stay
 in place for not more than 48 hours.
Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Male Condoms
- a latex or synthetic rubber sheath that is
placed on the erect male reproductive organ to
trap the sperm during ejaculation.
 Artificial Methods of
Contraception
• Female Condoms
- made up of latex rubber sheaths that
are pre-lubricated with spermicide. - used to
prevent fertilization of the egg
by the sperm cells.
