LEARNING OBJECTIVES
OUTLINE
I. HUMAN SEXUALITY.
Human sexuality refers to the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of humans who have
learned a set of cues that evoke a sexual or an erotic response (the term “sex” refers to a
person's genetic makeup only). Humans are sexual beings and a large portion of our life is
devoted to sexual activity (i.e., sexual daydreaming and fantasy).

argues that heterosexism and homophobia inhibit the possibility of some men and
women finding sexual satisfaction with same-sexed partners.
C. Homosexuality: Refers to both identity and behavior. The exact determination of
homosexuality is unknown. The nature-nurture debate continues to spark controversy. Some
recent research tends to support the biological explanation.
i. How Widespread is Homosexuality? Like heterosexuality, the exact
determination of homosexuality is unknown. The dichotomy of
heterosexual versus homosexual can be misleading in that there may be
aspects of both orientations in everyone. Homosexuality varies in terms of
importance, organization, and actualization in people’s lives.
D. Bisexuality: The concept is difficult to define (with respect to identity and
lifestyle) and enumerate (estimates are that 4 percent of the American population are bisexual).
As with other sexual orientations, the exact origins of bisexuality are unknown. However, some
evidence suggests differences between men and women in their perceptions of their bisexuality.
E. Transgender: There is not exact agreement on the details of what exactly it means to be
transgender. In the very broadest sense, a transgender person is anyone who transgresses
traditional gender norms in terms of identity, appearance, or behavior, either intentionally or
unintentionally, on a regular basis. The National Transgender Advocacy Coalition Web site
estimates that 1 in 10,000 biological males and 1 in 30,000 biological females are transsexual.
Transgendered persons live life as the opposite sex.
F. Queer: A growing number of young people are coming out as queer, as they don’t
feel they fit into a specific label and seek a broader alternative to the label LGBT. It can
mean different things to different people.

ii. Victorian Sexuality: Was characterized by a number of sexual taboos
(nudity during sex was prohibited). Sexuality was basically a male
phenomenon (women were not thought of as experiencing sexual desire).
This differing set of norms, based on gender, is known as the sexual
double standard.
iii. Sexuality and Slavery: Victorian norms did not apply at all to blacks.
Males were often either used as studs (to increase the slave population) or
castrated. Women were often both physically and sexually abused.
D. Sexual Attitudes and Behavior in the Twentieth Century and Beyond: The
first era (1900 to early 1950s) saw an increase in sexual activity outside marriage.
The second era (1950s to 1970s) was characterized by greater sexual
permissiveness outside marriage especially if sex occurred within a love
relationship leading to marriage. The third era (since 1970) has seen a decreasing
emphasis on the nuclear family and an increasing view that sex can be
recreational.
i. A Sexual Revolution? Some have argued that there has been no revolution
but just a continued evolution of sexual norms.
ii. Understanding America’s Changing Sexuality: Contemporary Patterns:
The permissiveness of the 1980s has continued, but people are less likely
to engage in casual sex due to the growing awareness of AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases. Sexual acts that were once considered
deviant are widely accepted today. Remnants of the sexual double standard
remain.
a. Why Do We Have Sex? Let Me Count the Ways: Despite attempts to
actually count and describe the positions in which humans have sex,
few have been systematically counted. More than 200 motivations
have been identified.
b. Are You Having Enough Sex? Even though the average American
adult has sex 120 times a year with a high level of satisfaction, nearly
2/3 still wish they were having sex more often. Interestingly, single
people report having sex more frequently than married people.
c. If You Want More Sex—Consider Moving: People living in the
Northeast report the highest frequency and people living in the South
the lowest frequency of having sex.
d. Sex by the Numbers—Good Sex or Simply by the Numbers? The
median number of opposite sex partners in a lifetime is 3 for females
and 5 for males. The numbers vary by race and gender.
e. I Can(‘t) Get (No) Satisfaction: Frequency is not synonymous with
satisfaction. Only about one half (48 percent) of sexually active adults
say they are satisfied with their sex lives.
f. Keeping Sex Fresh?: Contrary to the assumption of widespread
“kinky” sex, we as a nation seem to prefer only a few sexual practices.
g. S-E-X-Y Talk: We spend a tremendous amount of time talking about
sex, both online and offline.
65

h. More and More S-E-X-Y Talk: Americans spend a tremendous amount
of time talking about sex both on- and off-line. The talking can be in
texting, or social media, and up to 32 percent may be related to sex.
i. Your Cheating Heart: Most surveys, past and present, show that a high
percentage of people think monogamy is important to marriage, saying
when they marry they intend to be monogamous, and that cheating or
having an affair is morally wrong.
j. Contemporary Sexuality in a Global Context: Surveys now ask people
around the world about their sexual well-being. Greeks are the most
sexually active and Chinese the least.

Although sex surveys tell us much about what people do, how they do it, and how often,
such surveys tell us very little about what goes on in our bodies when we are sexually
stimulated.
A. Autoeroticism: Until recently, United States society placed particularly heavy
restrictions on autoeroticism.
i. Masturbation: Involves gaining sexual pleasure from self-stimulation of
the genitals. Boys and men tend to masturbate more often than girls and
women. Masturbation frequently continues after marriage.
ii. Sexual Fantasy and Erotic Dreams: More males than females engage in
sexual fantasy and erotic dreaming (dreams often lead to nocturnal
emissions or wet dreams).
B. Interpersonal Sexual Behavior: Interpersonal sexual activity involves more
people acting in concert for the purpose of giving each other pleasure.
i. Pleasuring: Involves a couple exploring each other's bodies.
ii. Petting and Oral Sex: Petting involves a variety of types of physical
contact for the purpose of sexual arousal, and is a common activity among
adolescent boys and girls. In many parts of society, oral-genital sex is an
unmentionable subject and taboo behavior (cunnilingus is the oral
stimulation of the female genitals, and fellatio is the oral stimulation of the
male genitals). Oral sex has become standard practice for a majority of
white people of all social classes.
iii. Coitus: Refers only to penile-vaginal intercourse. Coitus remains the
primary method through which heterosexuals seek erotic pleasure, with the
“missionary position” being most common.
C. Sexual Expression among Lesbians and Gays: There is little difference in
homosexual and heterosexual sexual expression and physiological response.
Lesbians are more emotionally involved with their partners and are more likely to
connect sex with love than are gays. Gays tend to have sex with more partners and
in shorter-term relationships.

couples define their sexual activities as satisfying, they also define their overall
relationship as satisfying.
E. Sexuality in Post-Married Life: As divorce and separation rates have increased
and a growing number of widowed people are living into old age with a partner, a larger
number of adults than in the past are confronted with the task of adjusting to postmarital
life.
i. Divorced People: Most divorced people become sexually active within a
year following their divorce. The sex is usually more pleasurable and
fulfilling than marital sex.
ii. Widows and Widowers: Almost one-half of widowers and widows engage
in postmarital coitus.
F. Sex In Later Life: People who are healthy and happy with their lives can
continue to be sexually active well into their advanced years. Survey research
demonstrates that while sexual activity may decline with age, a significant
proportion of elderly people, including those in nursing homes, remain sexually
active.
i. The Intersection of Gender, Age, and Sexuality: Women, Men, Aging, and
Sexuality: Experts disagree on the impact of menopause on female
sexuality. Men do not have a typical pattern of reproductive aging because
there is no definite end to male fertility. A very small percentage of men
over the age of 60 experience what some researchers have labeled a male
climacteric. Most forms of sexual behavior decline significantly for both
men and women after age 75.

be the main cause of AIDS. AIDS is a viral syndrome, or group of diseases, that
destroys the body's immune system. Currently, there is no cure for AIDS.
i. The Transmission of AIDS: AIDS is transmitted via blood and body
fluids, such as semen, saliva, vaginal and cervical secretions, urine, tears,
and breast milk. Although AIDS can be transmitted through the use of an
infected needle or syringe, the most common means of transmission is
through sexual contact. According to current evidence, HIV cannot be
transmitted by casual contact. People may have the HIV virus without
knowing it.
C. HIV/AIDS and Risk: Who Gets AIDS
Statistics clearly reveal the intersection of race, class, gender, age, and sexual orientation
as to who is more likely to contract AIDS.
i. Race/Ethnicity and HIV/AIDS: African Americans face the most severe
burden of HIV and AIDS in the United States. Latinos are also
disproportionately affected.
ii. Class/Geographical Location: Class and geographic regions in the US are
also key factors in this epidemic. There is a strong link between poverty and
HIV, with the strongest link in the South.
iii. Gender: Men are more affected than women, although the virus is taking an
increasing toll on women. The number of older people with HIV/AIDS has
been increasing in recent years. Because the majority of people who are at
the highest risk of contracting the virus are members of categories that this
society values least (gays, poor people, people of color, women, the elderly),
AIDS is a deeply divisive social and political issue.
iv. Sexuality: It is estimated that men who have sex with men comprise only 2
percent of the U.S. population, yet this group is most affected by HIV in the
United States.
v. Age: Most children with HIV/AIDS contracted it through their mother
during the perinatal period. Also, the number of elderly people with HIV or
AIDS is increasing.
vi. Drug Users: People who inject drugs account for 10 percent of total AIDS
diagnoses in 2013, most of whom are males (63 percent).
D. Global AIDS Pandemic: AIDS as a National and International Issue: An
estimated 78 million people have contracted HIV, with the vast majority in Asia
and Africa. Geographic boundaries cannot protect against HIV.
E. AIDS Prevention and Sexual Responsibility: A campaign for “safe sex” is
geared toward informing people how to protect themselves from AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases through abstinence or by engaging in responsible
sex. Some critics of safe sex contend that the premise of safe sex promotes sexual
promiscuity and does little to promote abstinence. They argue that abstinence, not
safe sex, should be the official public policy.

behaviors, the need for policies and programs that support marriages and families is
nowhere more glaring than in the area of human sexuality. Whatever values and beliefs
we hold individually about human sexuality, it is clear that as a nation, we cannot bury
our heads in the sand and pretend that celibacy is the only answer to many of the pressing
issues and problems that surround the sexual practices and behaviors of many Americans.
KEY TERMS
1. As you discuss sexuality with your students, ask them to think about how American
society “speaks with forked tongue” concerning sexual behavior: On the one hand, we are
told that sex is “natural,” that it is a matter of biology—when boy meets girl, just like the
“birds and the bees.” On the other hand, we are taught that our sexual feelings must be
controlled and carefully monitored; only under certain conditions are we permitted to
have sex. Encourage the members of your class to vocalize their own impressions of this
hypocrisy surrounding the relationship between biology and human society when it comes
to the expression of sexuality.
2. Controversy still exists regarding who is best to teach children about sexuality and sexual
activities. Conservatives usually maintain that this is the responsibility of parents. Other
people feel that although this would be ideal, the fact is that parents do not do an adequate
job of discussing sexual matters with their children. Ask the students in your class if they
learned about sex and sexuality from peers or from parents. What types of erroneous
information did they receive? Discuss sexual socialization in America today.
3. Encourage your students to grapple with the issue of what is acceptable and unacceptable
in the realm of sexuality. You can begin with a list of different types of heterosexuality,
from the “normal” to the “unusual.” As the students vocalize what they find unacceptable,
try to distill what criteria they are using to make these assessments: relativistic cultural
norms, psychological damage to another person, physical pain for another person, etc.
One very controversial topic that you may wish to introduce into your class discussions
involves whether monogamy is the most natural state for adult living. Ask your students
70
Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All rights reserved.
to consider this question: “If monogamy is the 'right' way for men and women to live,
then why is there so much extramarital infidelity?”
4. Today, one-third of the births in this country involve single women. These are not always
young teenage females. Many are women who have graduated from college, established a
career, and now want to experience motherhood. Solicit the students' opinions for and
against such a decision. Also, ask them if they think that single people should be able to
adopt babies. What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising a child in a single
parent home (if the parent is financially secure)?
5. There are probably more jokes concerning human sexuality than any other subject. Many
of these jokes are not very humorous. Ask your students to consider how humor
frequently reflects how uncomfortable people feel about particular issues. The endless
stream of “sex jokes” reflects the discomfort that many Americans experience when it
comes to their own sexuality. Some members of your class may be encouraged to
vocalize elements of jokes relating to sexuality that they have heard recently. Use student
comments in discussing specific ingredients of Americans' apprehensions about their own
sexuality.
6. Motivating students to be candid about “his” and “her” sex in group discussion is difficult
for obvious reasons. However, the benefits of such a discussion are many, even if the
interchange is characterized by embarrassment and discomfort. Using the discussion of
gender differences in this chapter as a baseline, ask your students to consider further why
men and women view sex differently and encourage them to discuss why this is the case.
You may wish to draw some comparisons between the gender differences with reference
to sexuality.
7. Pose the question, “Is the sexual revolution over?” to your students. Ask for their
individual points of view regarding the conservative trend toward non-marital sexuality in
our society. They may be inclined to cite the appearance of AIDS and the increased
sensitivity to other sexually transmitted diseases as the explanation. Ask them to probe
more deeply into the reasons for this conservative backlash.
8. Ask the members of the class to bring a copy of at least one article/paper on extramarital
affairs. Although many researchers maintain that the incidence of extramarital
relationships is very high, other surveys have shown a much lower incidence. Discuss
with the class the hidden agendas of some research (for instance, a Playboy survey found
that over 70 percent of married men had extramarital affairs, but a major Family Circle
survey found a much lower percentage). What effect might excessively high or lower
percentages have on readers?
9. The text points out that media presentations exaggerate the importance of sex in people's
lives. Furthermore, movies like Grumpy Old Men, and Grumpier Old Men emphasize the
concern that the elderly, especially elderly men, have about sex in the middle and later
years of life. This concern is ironic in view of the feeling that the elderly are “sexless.”
Another interesting image is that of the “dirty old man.” Ask your students to consider
this irony: On the one hand, it seems that Americans—again, especially American men—
are worried about declining sexual function in the middle and later years. On the other
hand, we live in a society where most people are uncomfortable with the image of older
people having sex. Encourage the class to confront this situation head-on, in an effort to
expose Americans' general discomfort with human sexuality.
71

10. One excellent vehicle for illustrating American attitudes toward human sexuality is to ask
your class to consider the use of sex surrogates in sexual therapy. Apparently, many
Americans regard surrogate sex therapy as “immoral” or even appealing to prurient
sexual interest. Encourage the members of your class to voice their opinions about sex
surrogates. Why should this type of approach be regarded differently than any other form
of therapy?
1. I’m Coming Out, 2010, 45 min. (Films for the Humanities and Sciences). Ahmad is a 24-
year-old gay man who is comfortable with his sexual identity. Neil is a 55-year-old gay
man hoping to overcome a lifetime of hiding who he really is. This program accompanies
the two when they return home with the idea of coming out to family members.
2. Sex in ’69: Sexual Revolution in America, 2009, 120 min. (Films for the Humanities and
Sciences). This A&E Special travels back to 1969 to explore America’s sexual
revolution—a psychedelic time that gave birth to the concept of free love, saw the
invention of “the pill,” and embraced a whole new perspective on human sexuality.
3. Disability and Sexuality: Exploring the Intimacy Option, 2008, 52 min. (Films for the
Humanities and Sciences). This program challenges the preconception that being
physically disabled necessarily means a lack of desire for physical intimacy. Through
candid interviews with people who have substantial physical disabilities, this video
expresses their needs as human beings, examines constraints placed upon them by their
conditions as well as by the medical and residential facilities that serve them, and
spotlights high-minded organizations prepared to assist them in having loving
experiences.
4. Sexy Inc.: A Critical Look at the Hypersexualization of Childhood, 2007, 26 min. (Films
for the Humanities and Sciences). This documentary condemns the hypersexualization of
kid culture and exposes the severely damaging effects of hypersexuality on young
psyches—female, predominantly, but male as well. Pervasive Internet porn, which serves
children as a toxic artificial standard for sexual intimacy, is also addressed. Commentary
is provided by psychologist Sharon Lamb, medical and education professionals, and
others working to offset the pernicious effects of “Sexy Inc.” in children’s lives.

Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or
other format used in the official version posted on the official
Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at
no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a
means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other
form. Any alternate format must include the full Project
Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the
method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The
fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,
but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty
payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on
which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your
periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked
as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information
about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation.”
• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.
