| Infant Sexuality
(http://www.innerself.com/Sex_Talk/Infant_Sexuality.htm)
"Everything that happened to us in our infancy, every touch received, every reaction we felt to our sexuality, is remembered in our subconscious minds. We have stored these memories of our first touch, bonding with our mothers and fathers, feeding, toilet training, holding, and nurturing, to be triggered off as results when we create intimate experiences with our partners." | | | | Child Sexual Development
(http://www.ejhs.org/volume3/Haroian/body.htm)
This essay (36 pages long) is a comprehensive discussion of the development of sexuality in children. | | | | The Cult of Childhood and the Repression of Childhood Sexuality
(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." | | | | Adolescent (Teen) Sexuality
(http://www.etters.net/teen.sexuality.htm)
This web site presents help and advice for teenagers about sexuality. | | | | Adolescent Sexuality
(http://www.siecus.org/pubs/biblio/bibs0001.html)
This annotated bibliography presents many references about adolescent sexuality. | | | | Mothering and Sexuality
(http://www.anneandcathy.com/moms.html)
This web site presents issues regarding balancing the roles of woman and mother. | | | | Older Adult Sexuality
(http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/psych431/student2000/dp51)
"Welcome to SeniorSex.org, your older adult sexuality reference. The goal of this site is to help inform you about aging and sexuality, to let you have a little bit of fun, and to make other resources on sex and aging readily available to you." | | | | Sexual Issues for Aging Adults
(http://www.hs.ttu.edu/sexuality&aging)
"The marked increase in life expectancy over the past century has meant that individuals over the age of 65 years form an increasingly large proportion f our population. Yet, very little attention has been paid until recently to the treatment of sexual dysfunction in older adults (Spence, 1992)." This web site attempts to address some of these issues. |
