Document Summary
People aren"t comfortable opening that side of themselves. Both sexes produces estrogen and testosterone, although in different amounts that decrease with age. Neurotransmitters oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, and vasopressin affect desire, arousal, and orgasm. We internalize norms from our family of origin. Ethnicity can affect our sexual behaviors, frequency, attitudes, and communications. Race is one of the most influential variables affecting sexual attitudes and behaviors. Racial and ethnic identities are closely tied to religion. In general, the more religious people are: The more conservative their sexual attitudes and behavior. The less they engage in risky sexual behavior. The less they approve of oral sex. The more guilt they experience about sexual behavior. Masters and johnson"s four-phase sexual response cycle. Four-phase model of physiological changes that occur during sexual behavior, regardless of sexual orientation: The kinsey institute"s dual control model of sexual response. Views sexual response as a neurobiological two-part process involving sexual excitation and inhibition (bancroft and colleagues, 2009)
