Analysis:

1. When do we usually observe the changes listed above for males and females?
We usually observe the changes listed above in our puberty stage in which males has shown a lot
of changes especially the voice is getting lower, the pubic is growing, the penis, and the body
becomes more muscular. In girls pubic hair, the breast become large, the hip become wider, the
uterus and vagina larger and menstruation occurs.

2. Were you able to experience the same changes? When?

I go through the same puberty stage where my hair begins to grow on my chest, face,
underarms, and pubic hair. Despite the fact that boys are shorter than girls in early adolescence,
they normally grow to be taller. This occurs because guys grow at a quicker rate and for a longer
period of time once growth begins. Girls achieve adult height around the age of 16, while boys
reach adult height around the age of 18.

3. If you were not able to experience the above listed changes, what might have caused such difference?
If I am not able to experience the above listed changes, I might have an abnormality of the body
that might affect the changes of my body or I experience delayed changes that I must to
experience in my puberty stage.

4. How does the society shape the sexual behavior of an individual?

The society shapes the sexual behavior of an individual through engaging people in any
organization that related to sexual orientation. The best example for that are family planning,
giving of condoms to students to any schools and universities and mostly the movies that they
watch that are not suitable for children including the scene of sexual intercourse.

5. Can we really change our natural or innate sexual organ and sexual response?
I believe that we have the ability to change the natural sexual organs that we are born with. It is a
physical part that surgical procedures can alter. Operations to modify one's sexual orientation are
becoming increasingly prevalent.
Anyone interested in physically changing their gender can do so today through a medical
treatment already available if they can afford it. In this case, we may say that the sexual reaction
is baked into the person from birth, which is slightly different.
Hormones can also alter the responses of transgender people to sexual stimulation. For example,
estrogen can make swollen nipples extremely sensitive in a completely different way. An
individuals' genitals can become sensitized as a result of the stimulation of their nipples. But it
isn't just that nipple play makes them feel aroused, and they can feel the arousal in their genitals
as well.
Surgery can also alter the function of the sex organs. While they are unable to generate sexual
organs that are identical to those seen on cisgender people of that gender, the organs they can
create are noticeably different from those that the trans person was born with.
