Analysis of Human Sexuality from the Social Learning Approach The authors attempt to not simply describe human sexuality, but instead to provide a model for explaining the variation that occurs in human behavior without having to refer to 'psychodynamic models' as the authors literally state. According to Hogben & Dyrne (1999), social learning theory incorporates elements of "operant conditioning and social conditioning" and is founded on the principles of personality theory, assuming that behavior is "goal directed" and emphasized by expectations of rewards and perceived values of rewards (Dyrne & Hogben, 1999: 58)
Perhaps the most quintessential example of this is couples that seek children even though they are physically unable to bear their own biological children. These people would include same-sex couples, people that are infertile and people that are too old to have children reliably and healthily without fear of birth defects and so on (Benagiano, Carrara & Filippi, 2012)
The author makes a fairly controversial suggestion right off the bat by suggesting that teachers are on the forefront of fostering and shaping mindsets and learning about sexuality. While this may make some parents recoil, the author makes the point that how the teacher acts as a male or female, how they react to sexual banter between the students, whether the teacher is male or female in general as well as other things make the topic of sexuality while teaching very poignant and important even if it is mostly (if not entirely) via nuance and subtle messaging (Brick, 1991)
In this case the principles applies in that the decision that will be taken regarding Mrs. Z placement should be a just one, one that will be fair to both her and her husband (Rainbow,2009)
Homosexuality, Parenthood, And Social Deviance The article "Lesbian and gay parenting: babes in arms or babes in the woods?" (Mccann, & Delmonte, 2005) examines the nature of parenting in connection with openly homosexual couples and the manner in which the sexual preference of parents affects their children
Certainly, there is a range of parenting quality within same-sex relationships just as there is within traditional families; however, by comparison, same-sex couples are no less likely to provide stable and healthy environments for children than are opposite-sex parents within the traditional family system. Social Control Theory and Relation to Gay Parenthood In general, Social Control Theory posits that delinquency, antisocial behavior, and criminal deviance are substantially related to the strength of social constraints on antisocial behavior (Schmalleger, 2008)
Freud specified that while bisexuals kept their gender's mental qualities, they sought after people of the same-sex who possessed opposite sex mental. "In this instance, therefore, as in many others, the sexual object is not someone of the same sex but someone who combines the characters of both sexes; thus the sexual object is a kind of reflection of the subject's own bisexual nature" (Freud, 1962, p
erotic behavior. "Although his adventures take place at every level of the social ladder, he invariably returns to one of the two ghettos that pre-Stonewall society permitted the uncloseted gay, the lumpen underworld and the upper-class salon circuit of the bohemian-chic intelligentsia" (Waugh, 2000, p
However, when the pair attend a party they quickly abandon one of the chief characteristics of sexual morality -- monogamy. Bill shamelessly flirts with a pair of young women (regardless of the fact that Alice is present); Alice shamelessly flirts with an older "Hungarian" (Ebert) man (regardless of the fact that her husband is present)
This aspect of power is suggested in the following quotation. "men are not gentle creatures, who want to be loved, who at the most can defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness" (Freud)
The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently" (Goodstein, 2013)
(Hinderliter, 2013) This definition of asexuality also includes the following facts; A deficiency in experiencing sexual behavior. (Allison, 2013) Improper or lacking levels of sexual orientation
' The most common definition of asexuality is 'absence of sexual attraction towards someone'. (Andersson, 2013) However, Hinderliter also said that the above definition is not the 'only way of defining Asexuality' and explained that the definition can be broadened and narrowed as per the requirements
According to a recent study, 'even if asexual people do have, on average, elevated rates of distress or other mental health issues, there may be a significant number, perhaps a majority, of these individuals who do not.' (Bogaert, 2006) With respect to interpersonal relationships it has been reported by a number of studies that the asexual people do not experience an important and social dimension of health because they refuse to or do not want to indulge in a sexual behavior with other people
It is observed that the asexual people face elevated rates of heath risks and they are also subjected to instability, that is they might become interested in the people belong to same gender. (Deluzio Chasin, 2011) References Allison, M
A drive to narrow the definition is used to sharply differentiate asexuality from celibacy -- people who experience sexual attraction but do not have sex are celibate, not asexual.' (Hinderliter, 2013) The definition is expanded in order to include people who do not feel any sexual attraction but 'feel/do other things generally associated with sexuality in conscious resistance to pressure to exclude these people from the category asexual
Acceptance of this argument will allow laws to regulate same-sex marriages and stop penalties and prejudices for homosexual behaviors. Some sectors believe that religion helps shape attitudes about homosexuality and religious beliefs assert a stronger influence on homosexuality (Adamcyzk & Pitt, 2009) than other assumed factors or causes
Summary of Positions Certain studies conducted have suggested that homosexuality is genetic. One is the LeVay Study, conducted by Simon LeVay in 1991, which used 41 homosexual subjects, almost all of whom had died of HIV complications (Bailey, 1993)

Among African-Americans A 2008 survey conducted among them on the acceptability of homosexuality revealed that 72.3% considered it "always wrong (Glick & Golden, 2010)
