Reflection Of Human Sexuality

Decent Essays
As the world is continually changing in a rapid pace, more and more information about human sexuality that is associated with transgender, bisexual, asexual, and other issues on gender and sexual orientation is needed to understand the brain function, behavior and belief of these kind of people. As a Christian professional in the psychology field, the understanding of human sexuality is important. This profession inevitably deals with people every day, so sexuality has to be incorporated in various ways. The understanding of the different sexual and gender orientation, and the ways one is taught to embrace and approach these kind of people in the workplace is important. Sexual dysfunctions and problems, and how one is to handle these issues …show more content…
Even though it hurts to see the man and woman who are experiencing a certain type of sexual problem, dysfunction or infections, I would be able to apply my knowledge about these topics when I encounter these situations. At the same time, I would be able to relate to how they are feeling and experiencing, and possibly encourage them. With my current knowledge, I could do more research on how the brain is affected by the trauma that a person is associated with the certain relationships, and whether what techniques could be applied to improve the trauma, and the person as a whole. I could also research more on the impact of sexual problems, dysfunction, and infections on the brain. Despite its fundamental role in human life, there has been surprisingly little research into the neurological control of human sexual behavior (Baird, Wilson, Bladin, Saling, & Ruetens, 2007, p. 1042). According to Baird et.al., not much is known about hypersexuality and its effects on the brain (2007, p. 1042). This research would probably be most valuable to counselors in treating a person with hypersexuality or any paraphilia. Since not much is known about the these problems associated with the brain, I could do more research and determine if there is a specific …show more content…
Therefore, I can also apply sexuality in my small part of counseling clients about the issue or situation they face. I would be able to use the proper terms and define them that would be understandable to common people, who are not familiar with the terms used in human sexuality. I would be able to properly educate others about what I have learned about their situation. For example, if someone was experiencing a sexual problem and has never heard of the terminology used to describe the problem, I would be able to explain it to him or her in the simplest and understandable way. I would also be able to inform the client or patient and his or her family about the benefits and disadvantages of the treatments in accordance to the sexual issues this family is

    Elisabeth Lloyd’s analysis on the prior research done about female sexuality explored the flaw of those research. As these studies were mostly done by male scientists, many explanations of female sexuality were in relation to their biological role of reproducers. This social bias then affect the design and execution of the study, leading to misinterpret data and ignoring evidence that would have counter those stigmas. As such it is difficult to say that we can view science through an objective lens. Should we avoid any science that could be influenced by social norms?…

    According to the psychological studies, the origin of homosexual behavior is due to a confusion of sexual identity; family and social traumas, subtle and violent, that they have strongly influenced this homosexual behavior problem in the individual traumas. Sociological studies may explain that homosexual behavior arises as a result and reflection of today's contemporary society. Medical studies, on the other hand, may suggest that homosexuality is a result of hormonal disequilibrium. The topic of sexuality is a prevalent topic, in today’s society, that, despite its origins, has caused a debate about how it should be acknowledged. Predominant figures, such as Pope John Paul II, and Justin Trudeau have approached the issue from a Christian…

    Sexual addiction is a disorder that can have a causing distress to people of difference classes of their life and upbringing. Dr. Laaser, book Healing the Wounds of Sexual Addiction, confirms that people are living a secret life of sexual addiction which some people know they have the problem, but a good amount has no idea what could be happening to them. The strangest thing to this addiction is that it is not happening to one group of people. It does not matter what a person economic background might be, it does not matter what a person racial background might be, nor this sin is not just on the sinner, there are many of Christians who fall in the category also (Laaser, 2004).…

    I found it intriguing in chapter four that many historians believe that race has not always been a construct of society (Allen 70). That racial awareness was introduced when the Europeans found the Indians and thought they were inferior because of their language, skin, and technology (70). Personally, I have always thought racism had been around since the time man began living on earth, but the historian’s theory makes sense as many people could not travel the world, and therefore not get to encounter other races. Another idea that was intriguing in this chapter was that persons of color were less likely than whites to own a home or go to college (69). That race is holding back the success of the American dream based on the way they are stereotypically…

    Another area for future research is looking at how often and for what reasons asexuals engage in various types of sexual activities with a partner, and what are the potential consequences of them doing so (Chasin, 2011). Longitudinal research designs looking at features of sexual orientation development and changes over time might help bring a better understanding to the development, characteristics, and trajectory of asexuality (Brotto et al., 2010). Demographic studies aimed self-identified asexuals and potential-asexuals could explore what these populations look like in regards to gender, romantic orientation, and sexual interest levels. Also, other areas of the asexuality spectrum, such as demisexuality and grayasexuality could be more focused on, rather than just focusing on asexuality as only meaning a lack of sexual attraction. It would also be helpful to see some research regarding what kinds of close personal relationships are important for asexual people who are also aromantic (Chasin, 2011).…

    One aspect that without doubts was of central importance in the discourse about gender and about why women were considered unruly and a danger was women’s sexuality, which threatened Early Modern English men and husbands, including Leontes and other male characters in The Winter’s Tale. Because of the separation of the worlds of men and women, the lack of communication and knowledge of each other led the men to fear and doubt all that involved the feminine sexual realm. In particular, men thought that women’s empowerment through sexuality would destroy the existing social patriarchal order. The consequence were the double standards in the treatment of male and feminine sexuality, which can be examined in the use of distinguished insults for…

    For my human sexuality class, I was to conduct a sexual interview with an individual focusing on sexuality. We were to ask questions focusing on the individual’s attitudes and feelings towards sexuality and any misconceptions they may have held about sexuality. This activity also allowed the interviewer to become aware of their own feelings and attitudes about sexuality during the interview. I intentionally wanted to conduct this interview with a male, because asking questions around sexuality with males is an issue I am still learning to become comfortable with. Working as a family based therapist I have to ask questions surrounded around sexual activity, sexual trauma, and being to provide parents and adolescent with resources about sexual education.…

    When I think about what the regulation of sexuality means, I think back to when I was still living under my parent’s roof. My parents are both fairly conservative Christians, so growing up, there were rigid rules about what sexuality meant. Sexuality in my family meant a heterosexual relationship in a monogamous marriage between two people of similar age and status. Anything that did not fit into the confines of this vision of sexuality was strange to me up until I started to form opinions on my own. Until recently, large chasms in age in status still seemed outside of my grasp of understanding as something which could be normal or healthy.…

    Being a part of a Human Sexuality course has definitely opened my eyes to many different topics and issues that are occurring around the world. I believe I have lived a very sheltered life after learning about some of these topics, because I hadn’t even heard of most of them. I liked to think I knew all there was to know about human sexuality simply because I understood sexual intercourse, STI`s, and using protection. But human sexuality involves much more than those three things. Three of the major topics that have made me really think about how uneducated I was in regards to human sexuality were sexual birth defects, gender identity and gender roles, and sexual assault.…
