MAIN LESSON

Biology of Sexual Behavior

The biology of human sexuality includes the reproductive system and the sexual response cycle, as well
as the
factors that affect them.

• Females have both external genitalia (known as the vulva) and internal reproductive organs (including

the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina).

• Males also have both internal and external genitalia; the main sex organs are the penis and testicles.

• The hypothalamus is the most important part of the brain for sexual functioning; it produces
important

sexual hormones that are then secreted by the pituitary gland.

• Sex hormones that influence sexual behavior include oxytocin, prolactin, vasopressin, follicle-

stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH); others include testosterone in males and

estrogen and progesterone in females.

Reproductive System

The organs and glands in the body that aid in the production of new individuals (reproduction).

• In the male, sperm are produced in the testes and

conveyed to the female in a fluid called semen, which passes out of the

body through the penis. Other parts of the male reproductive system include the prostate

gland, the scrotum, and the urethra.

• In the female, the eggs, or ova are produced in the

ovaries and released during ovulation into the fallopian tubes about halfway through the menstrual

cycle. If fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote travels down

the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it implants and

continues development. If the ovum is not fertilized, it continues its journey toward the uterus, where it

degenerates and is released in the menstrual flow through the

vagina during menstruation.

The sexual response cycle refers to the sequence of physical and emotional changes that occur as a
person

becomes sexually aroused and participates in sexually stimulating activities, including intercourse

and masturbation.

The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Both men and

women experience these phases, although the timing usually is different. For example, it is unlikely that
both

partners will reach orgasm at the same time. In addition, the intensity of the response and the time
spent in each

phase varies from person to person. Understanding these differences may help partners better
understand one

another's bodies and responses, and enhance the sexual experience.

Phase 1: Excitement

Characteristics can last from

a few minutes to several

hours.

Phase 2: Plateau

Characteristics extends

to the brink of orgasm.

Phase 3: Orgasm

It is the climax of the

sexual response

cycle. Shortest of the

phases and generally

lasts only a few

seconds.

Phase 4: Resolution

• Muscle tension

increases.

• Heart rate quickens and

breathing is accelerated.

• Skin may become

flushed (blotches of

redness appear on the

chest and back).

• Nipples become

hardened or erect.

• Blood flow to the genitals

increases, resulting in

swelling of the woman's

clitoris and labia minora

(inner lips), and erection

of the man's penis.

• Vaginal lubrication

begins.
• The

woman's breasts becom

e fuller and the vaginal

walls begin to swell.

• The man's testicles

swell, his scrotum

tightens, and he begins

secreting a lubricating

liquid.

• The changes begun

in phase 1 are

intensified.

• The vagina continue

s to swell from

increased blood flow,

and the vaginal walls

turn a dark purple.

• The woman's clitoris

becomes highly

sensitive (may even

be painful to touch)

and retracts under

the clitoral hood to

avoid direct

stimulation from

the penis.

• The man's testicles

are withdrawn up
into the scrotum.

• Breathing, heart rate,

and blood

pressure continue to

increase.

• Muscle spasms may

begin in the feet,

face, and hands.

• Muscle tension

increases.

• Involuntary

muscle contractions

begin.

• Blood pressure,

heart rate, and

breathing are at

their highest rates,

with a rapid intake

of oxygen.

• Muscles in the feet

spasm.

• There is a sudden,

forceful release of

sexual tension.

• In women, the

muscles of

the vagina contract.

The uterus also

undergoes rhythmic

contractions.

• In men, rhythmic

contractions of the

muscles at the base

of the penis result in

the ejaculation of

semen.

• A rash, or

"sex flush" may

During resolution, the

body slowly returns to

its normal level of

functioning, and

swelled and erect body

parts return to their

previous size and

color. This phase is

marked by a general

sense of well-being,

enhanced intimacy and

, often, fatigue. Some

women are capable of

a rapid return to the

orgasm phase with

further sexual

stimulation and may

experience multiple
orgasms. Men need

recovery time after

orgasm, called a

refractory period,

during which they

cannot reach orgasm

again. The duration of

the refractory period

varies among men and

usually lengthens with

advancing age.

Chemistry of Lust, Attraction and Attachment

Falling in love can hit you hard in mind and your body. You feel irresistibly attracted to your crush. If
things

continue, you may feel a rush of euphoria, a longing to be together, passion and excitement. You feel
like you've

found the most special, unique person in the world. Fast forward a few years and the excitement goes
down

some (except for a few lucky couples). The novelty wears off and, if all goes well, is replaced by a warm,

comforting, nurturing type of feeling. You feel bonded in body, mind, and spirit. You share your hopes
and dreams

together and work hard together to make them come true. Each stage in this cycle can actually be
explained by

your brain chemistry - the neurotransmitters that get you revived up and the hormones that carry the
feeling

throughout your body. According to anthropology professor Helen Fisher there are three stages of
falling in love.

In each stage, a different set of brain chemicals run the show. These stages are lust, attraction, and love.

Activity No 3.

Exercise No. 1

Directions: A concept map is a type of graphic organizer used to help students organize and represent

knowledge of a subject. Concept maps begin with a main idea (or concept) and then branch out to

show how that main idea can be broken down into specific topics. Your task is to create a concept

map of the reproductive system. One for male and another one for female. Arrange the internal

and external organs. The main concept is already given.

• You feel physically attracted

and drawn to the object of

your affection. You want to

seduce them or be seduced.

Lust is driven by the hormones

testosterone in men and

estrogen in women. Lust

occurs across specie s and may

be part of basic drive to find a

partner to spread our genes

with. But lust is differen.t than

Love

You begin to obsess about

your love and crave his

presence. Your heart races

and you don’t feel like

sleeping or eating. You may

even get sweaty palms. You

feel surge of extra energy and

excitement as you fantasize

about the things you’ll do

together. These feeling are

created by three chemicals

norepinephrine, dopamine,

and serotonin.

Ø It involves wanting to make

a more lasting commitment to your

loved one. This is the point at which

you may move in together, get

married and/or have children. After

about 4 years in a relationship,

dopamine, decreases and attraction

goes down. If things are going well,

it get replaced by the hormones

oxytocin vasopressin. Which create

the desire to bond affiliate with, and

nurture your partner . you want to

cuddle and be close and sharpe your

deepest secrets with her. You plan

and dream together
