Document Summary
Aristophanes tell a tale of a mythical being that is spherical in form with two complete sets of arms, legs and genatilia. Zeus split them in half and re arranged their genitals so that they were forced to embrace each other front on to have sexual relations. The procreation of the species was possible only by members of the original male-female creatures getting together. Ontogenetic approach - the study of social development is interested in understanding the development of bonding and attachment in childhood and how it relates to the development of intimate relationships across the lifespan. Evolutionary psychology is primarily concerned with distal causes stemming from our remote evolutionary past in order to clarify current human behavioral, cognitive and emotional tendencies. Sex refers to sexual intercourse or related behaviors and attitudes.
