Sexual dysfunction

In contrast, there is a condition under which sexual impulses are acceptable without posing a threat to humanity. According to Kant, this condition is marriage, or as he calls it “Matrimonium.” In marriage, the couple do not only devote their sexuality, but their whole lives and person to each other. Through reason, each person has the right to the other’s whole person which allows them to have sexual desires towards one another without violating morality or humanity. Although Kant is right…

multicultural issues which engulf and define the film which would be the issues of gender and sexuality. Gender and sexuality have a tendency to overlap and in this film they do so through the concepts of gender identity, gender roles, heteronormativity, and sexual orientation. First, we must understand the concepts in which through gender and sexuality will overlap.…

or ability to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one does not necessarily like or agree with) without interference. As a teacher, it is important to understand and embody tolerance for the diversity of people, cultures, sexual orientation, race, etc. There will be many students from many places to teach, and a teacher must strive to be the best educator that he or she can be. This means it is crucial for the teachers to evaluate themselves in terms of tolerance and…

Kirkpatrick (2000) asserted that homosexual behavior has existed throughout all cultures. For example, Melanesian, Tahitian, Hawaiian, African, South American, and Europe are among some of the cultures where homosexuality is normative. Is it possible that sexual orientation perception is an evolved trait gained through evolution? Evidence in this field has been mixed but we will attempt to determine…

The human desire to be with another is said to be one of the most powerful forces in the world. It inspires poems, songs, books and nearly every other creative media. From an evolutionary standpoint it is the reason that humans have been able to survive and thrive. Creating pair-bonds allow for bi-parental care and give the pair a sense of calm and joy, despite the struggles they may face (Acevedo & Aron, 2014, p. 1). But how is it that those pair-bonds stay together? Studies suggest that men…

The concept of gender role is a major focus in Alpha Behn’s The Rover. I would like to argue that Behn uses the theme of rape to distinguish the different views that men and women have on gender roles. The main struggle in this play is the challenge that two young women have to face in order to escape the fate that their male family members have determined for them. For Florinda, it is an arranged marriage with a man much older than her, and for Hellena it is for her to become a nun. These women…

truth and lies, that’s coupled with the stigma of disease and sexual orientation. The play features two couples, Louis and Prior, and Joe and Harper who’s fates all seem to come together after each of them undergoes troubling experiences. Prior is diagnosed with HIV, Harper is addicted to valium and suffers episodes of anxiety attacks, Louis can’t take care of Prior and turns to Joe for relations, and Joe has difficulties facing his own sexual orientation. Interesting enough, this drama…

No one should wake knowing that they will have to deal with indifference, intolerance, and hatred due to their sexual orientation. There are certain limitations to the study, and one is the population at TAMIU is mostly Hispanic, this study cannot be generalized. The study would have been better with multiple diversity across different races and ethnicities. The…

Heroes and “Ordinary People” Changing the World Heroes are seen as not ordinary people, but really they are just ordinary people. They are the people who create change in the world. Although they may not be saving the world from meteors or protecting the city from super villains, they are there, slowly fighting for their rights. In this case, they are fighting for their rights as homosexuals, people who identify as gays or lesbians. A group of people who created a spark in Canadian history on…

the other hand, sexual identity can be dissected under the same three theories. Starting with functional theory, sexual identity is “learned in the family and other social institutions, with deviant sexual identities contributing to social disorder”. Under conflict theory, individuals or specific institutions consider some forms of sexual behavior desirable therefore enforce heterosexism; while symbolic interaction theory views it as “socially constructed when people learn the sexual scripts…
