| | | MISCELLANIOUS SEXUALITY RESOURCES: The Cult of Childhood and the Repression of Childhood ...
(http://www.libchrist.com/bible/child.html)
"...the understanding of childhood sexuality in our culture is deplorable at this point. The attitude of both Christians and even secular people seems to be growing more reactionary and paranoid in spite of the notion that our society is becoming more liberal sexually. In addition, questions and issues related to childhood sexuality are often raised in our Internet discussions. These reasons seem to call for an attempt at this time to begin dealing with some of these critical issues." |
| | | Adolescent Sexuality
(http://www.unfpa.org/modules/intercenter/reprights/self.htm)
"Young people are particularly vulnerable, and at the same time ill-served by (or excluded from) most reproductive health programmes. Both girls and boys are usually poorly informed about how to prevent pregnancy and the transmission of diseases, including HIV/AIDS." This web site tries to address some of these critical issues. |
| | | Teenage Sexuality in a Culture of Confusion
(http://www.intac.com/~jdeck/habib/overview)
"Sexuality is the most profound meeting place of nature and culture. At its best, sexuality allows us to give ourselves over to feeling, to other people, to the world, to say yes to ourselves and to our bodies. But sexuality is also where we experience most intensely the demands of religion, morality, and culture in general. Popular culture, I would insist, has a profound influence on teenagers' sexuality." |

| | | A Theory About the Variety of Human Sexual Behavior
(http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume5/j5_2_8.htm)
"Dawkins's theory of gene transmission is extended and applied to develop a theory about the variety of human sexual behavior. According to this theory, the many different types of human sexual behavior, including the paraphilias, can be seen as having species survival value. These atypical sexual behaviors all, in some way enhance the general level of sexual excitation in society and therefore increase the likelihood that people will engage in sexual activities that lead to procreation." |
| | | Alternative Sexual Practices
(http://www.umkc.edu/sites/hsw/issues/intro.html)
"Defining unusual, atypical, or non-mainstream sexual behavior is not an easy task. Many sexual practices that were once deemed wrong or forbidden appear to be common nowadays. If the majority of people are engaging in a particular behavior, does that mean that the behavior is normal and therefore perhaps, permissible?" |

| | | Social Basis of Human Behavior: Sex
(http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/socsex.html)
"Humans, like many other terrestrial life forms, reproduce sexually. We, like all other sexual creatures, are subject to instinctive sexual desire triggered by appropriate criteria. However, humans are unique in two ways. ... the criteria for desire and selection are greatly complicated. People apply not only physical, but societal, cultural and economic criteria to desire and selection." |
| | | Biological Basis of Sex Appeal
(http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/biosex2.html)
"Men are basically promiscuous; women are basically selective. Male criteria are physical; female criteria are physical and social. Men compete with each other for women's attention; women select those men who win competitions. There are, however, major modifying factors in human strategy that make humans unique among the animals. The first is the human mind, which I will discuss later. The second is the human anatomy, equally unique, which I will discuss now." |

| | | National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality
(http://www.narth.com/index.html)
"NARTH's function is to provide psychological understanding of the cause, treatment and behavior patterns associated with homosexuality, within the boundaries of a civil public dialogue. During the last 25 years, powerful political pressures have done much to erode scientific study. As a result, there is now great misunderstanding surrounding the question of homosexuality. Because of the angry tenor of the debate, many researchers have been intimidated into trading the truth for silence. " |
