The Physical and Sexual Self..

This document discusses the physical and sexual development of the human reproductive system from puberty through adulthood. It covers topics like the formation of sex organs, erogenous zones, human sexual behaviors, sexually transmitted diseases, and natural and artificial contraception methods. The key points are that puberty involves the maturation of reproductive organs, there is diversity in human sexual behaviors and responses, and contraception can help prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy.

The Physical and

Sexual Self
THIS LESSON DISCUSS ABOUT:
• The developmental aspect of the reproductive system;
• Erogenous zones;
• Explanation of human sexual behavior;
• Characterization of the diversity of sexual behavior;
• Sexually transmitted diseases; and
• Difference of natural and artificial methods of
contraception.
• The formation of male or female structures depends
on the presence of testosterone.
• Any intervention with the normal pattern of sex
hormone production in embryo results in strange
abnormalities:
• Pseudohermaphrodites- are formed who are
individuals having accessory reproductive structures
that do not match their gonads.
• Hermaphrodites- are individuals who possess both
ovarian and testicular tissues.
• PUBERTY- is the period of life when reproductive
organs grow to their adult size and become functional.
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM:
• In females:
• Tumors of the breast and cervix are the most
common reproductive cancers in adult females.
• Vaginal infections are more common in young
and elderly women and in those whose
resistance to diseases is low.
• Painful or abnormal menses
• Escherichia coli
In Males:

• Prostate cancer (a common sequel to prostatic


hypertrophy) is a widespread problem in adult males.
• Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
• Orchiditis, or inflammation of the testes
• Although aging men show a steady decline in
testosterone secretion, their reproductive capability
seems unending.
EROGENOUS ZONES AND HUMAN SEXUAL
BEHAVIOR
• Erogenous Zones
- They refer to parts of the body that are
primarily receptive and increase sexual arousal
when touched in a sexual manner.
- Commonly known erogenous zones are the
mouth, breasts, genitals, and anus; other common
areas of the body that can be aroused easily may
include neck, thighs, abdomen, and feet.
• Human Sexual Behavior
- It is defined as any activity --- solitary,
between two persons, or in a group --- that
includes sexual arousal.
- Two major factors:
1.) the inherited sexual response patterns that
evolved as a means of ensuring reproduction.
2.) the degree of restraint or other types of
influence exerted on the individual by society in
the expression of his/her sexuality.
TYPES OF BEHAVIOR
1.) SOLITARY BEHAVIOR
- Self- gratification means self- stimulation
that leads to sexual arousal and generally, sexual
climax; it takes place in private as an end in itself.
2.) SOCIOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR
- Heterosexual behavior is the greatest
amount of sociosexual behavior that occurs
between only one male and one female.
PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE

1.) EXCITEMENT PHASE


- There is increase in pulse and blood pressure,
and skin temperature. Flushing and swelling of all
distensible body parts are also experienced. Symptoms
of arousal eventually increase to a near maximal
physiological level that leads to the next stage.
2.) PLATEAU PHASE
- It is generally of brief duration. If stimulation is
continued, orgasm usually occurs.
3.) SEXUAL CLIMAX
- It is marked by a feeling of abrupt, intense
pleasure.

4.) RESOLUTION PHASE


- It is the last stage that refers to the return
to a normal or subnormal physiologic state.
NERVOUS SYSTEM FACTORS
• The autonomic system is involved in
controlling the involuntary responses.

• The lower spinal cord and leads to erection


and ejaculation for male, vaginal discharges
and lubrication for female when genital and
perineal areas are stimulated.
SEXUAL PROBLEMS
1.) PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
- Diseases that are due to abnormal
development of the genitalia or that part of the
neurophysiology controlling sexual response.
2.) PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
- Caused by socially induced inhibitions,
maladaptive attitudes, ignorance, and sexual
myths held by society.
3.) PREMATURE EMISSION OF SEMEN
- Is a common problem, especially for young
males.
4.) ERECTILE IMPOTENCE
- Is almost always of psychological origin in
males under 40; in older males, physical causes are
mor often involved.
5.) EJACULATORY IMPOTENCE
- Results from the inability to ejaculate in
coitus, is uncommon and is usually psychogenic
origin.
6.) VAGINISMUS
- Is a strong spasm of the pelvic musculature
constricting the female reproductive organ so
that penetration is painful or impossible.
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
• These are bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections
transmitted from an infected person to an
uninfected person through sexual contact.

1.) Chlamydia 6.) Herpes Simplex Virus


2.) Gonorrhea 7.) Trichomonas Vaginalis
3.) Syphilis
4.) Chancroid
5.) Human Papillomavirus

chemical or foreign body introduction into the human body.
a. Abstinence
b. Calendar Method
c. Basal Body temperature
