OBJECTIVES

• Define sexuality
• Describe he aspect of human sexuality
• Explain the factors that affected human sexuality
• Discuss the human sexual response cycle for male
and female
INTRODUCTION

 Human sexuality is the expression of sexual


sensation and related intimacy between human
beings.
 Psychologically, sexuality is the means to
express the fullness of love between a man and
a woman.
 Biologically, it is the means through which a
child is conceived and the lineage is passed on
to the next generation.
HUMAN SEXUALITY

 Human sexuality is the way people experience


and express themselves sexually.
 This involves biological, erotic, physical,
emotional, social, or spiritual feelings and
behaviours.
ASPECTS OF HUMAN SEXUALITY

 The biological and physical aspects of sexuality


largely concern the human reproductive
functions, including the human sexual response
cycle.
 Someone's sexual orientation can influence that
person's sexual interest and attraction for
another person.
 Physical and emotional aspects of sexuality
include bonds between individuals that are
expressed through profound feelings or physical
manifestations of love, trust, and care.
 Social aspects deal with the effects of human
society on one's sexuality, while spirituality
concerns an individual's spiritual connection
with others.
 Sexuality also affects and is affected by cultural,
political, legal, philosophical,
moral, ethical, and religious aspects of life.
FACTORS AFFECTING HUMAN SEXUALITY

Interest in sexual activity typically increases


when an individual reaches puberty.
Opinions differ on the origins of an
individual's sexual orientation and sexual
behavior.
 Some argue that sexuality is determined by
genetics, while others believe it is molded by the
environment, or that both of these factors interact
to form the individual's sexual orientation.
SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

The sexual response cycle is a model that


describes the physiological responses that occur
during sexual activity. This model was created by
William Masters and Virginia Johnson.
According to Masters and Johnson, the human
sexual response cycle consists of four phases;

Excitement Plateau

resolution Orgasm
Excitement phase

•During the excitement phase of the EPOR


model, one attains the intrinsic motivation to
have sex.
Plateau phase

• The plateau phase is the precursor to orgasm,


which may be mostly biological for men and
mostly psychological for women.
Orgasm
•
• Orgasm is the release of tension, and the resolution period
is the unaroused state before the cycle begins again.
MALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
The male sexual response cycle starts in the
excitement phase; two centers in the spine are
responsible for erections.
MALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

Vasoconstriction in the penis begins, the heart rate


increases, the scrotum thickens, the spermatic
cord shortens, and the testicles become engorged
with blood.
MALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

In the plateau phase, the penis increases in


diameter, the testicles become more engorged,
and the Cowper's glands secrete pre-seminal
fluid.
MALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

• The orgasm phase, during which rhythmic


contractions occur every 0.8 seconds.
• It consists of two phases;

The emission
The
phase
expulsion
phase
MALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

The emission phase: In which contractions of the


vas deferens, prostate, and seminal vesicles
encourage ejaculation, which is the second phase
of orgasm.
The expulsion phase:

• Ejaculation is called the expulsion phase; it


cannot be reached without an orgasm.
Resolution Phase

• In the resolution phase, the male is now in an


unaroused state consisting of a refractory (rest)
period before the cycle can begin. This rest
period may increase with age.
FEMALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

The female sexual response begins with the


excitement phase, which can last from several
minutes to several hours.
Characteristics of this phase include increased
heart and respiratory rate, and an elevation of blood
pressure.
Flushed skin or blotches of redness may occur on
the chest and back; breasts increase slightly in
size and nipples may become hardened and
erect.
FEMALE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

The onset of vasocongestion results in swelling of


the clitoris, labia minora, and vagina. The muscle
that surrounds the vaginal opening tightens and
the uterus elevates and grows in size.
The vaginal walls begin to produce a lubricating
liquid. The second phase, called the plateau phase, is
characterized primarily by the intensification of the
changes begun during the excitement phase.
The plateau phase extends to the brink of orgasm,
which initiates the resolution stage; the reversal of the
changes begun during the excitement phase.
During the orgasm stage the heart rate, blood
pressure, muscle tension, and breathing rates peak.
The pelvic muscle near the vagina, the anal
sphincter, and the uterus contract.
Muscle contractions in the vaginal area create a high
level of pleasure, though all orgasms are centered in
the clitoris.
