 Factors Affecting Sexuality
A. Developmental Considerations
- sexuality is the only distinguishing trait
present at conception
- gender, or sex, influences behavior
throughout life
Stages: Birth – 12 yrs = gender related
By 3 yrs. = gender identity
- obtain pleasure from
touching/fondling genitals
- toys are gender related
- able to identify own gender
Preschooler = increased awareness of body parts
- sexuality has been internalized and
preference for sexual partners determined
- enjoys exploring body parts of self and
playmates
- engages in masturbation

School Aged = gender role behaviors

- tendency toward having same-sex friends
- increasing self-awareness
Adolescence = need information regarding
changes; information obtained based on myths

- masturbation is common
- girls concerned w/reputations and
self-image
- become “hippy” and w/small waist
- boys preoccupied w/competitiveness
of sexual activity
- increase in testes size and they drop
further into place
- increased perspirations and vaginal
secretions
Young / Middle Adulthood = premarital sex is
common
- may experiment w/various sexual
expressions
- develop own value system and
respects values of others
- women are in “childbearing” mode
and searching for a mate; become
menopausal w/an increased sex drive
- men begin graying, having decreased
ejaculations and sex drive
Older Adulthood = orgasms may become
shorter and less intense in both
sexes
- vaginal secretions decrease and
period of resolution in men
lengthens
- fear loss of sexual abilities
B. Culture
- every culture has its own norms dictating duration
of sexual intercourse, methods of sexual
stimulation and sexual positions
- some cultures promote childhood sexual play,
polygamy/monogamy, and puberty rites including male
circumcision
- religious beliefs promote beliefs on premarital /
extramarital coitus, homosexuality, and decisions on
circumcision (male and female)
C. Religion

 The Sexual
Response Cycle
 The sexual response cycle refers to the
sequence of physical and emotional changes
that occur as a person becomes sexually
aroused and participates in sexually
stimulating activities, including intercourse
and masturbation. Knowing how your body
responds during each phase of the cycle can
enhance your relationship and help you
pinpoint the cause of sexual dysfunction.
The Phases of the Sexual
Response Cycle
• Phase 1: Excitement
• Phase 2: Plateau
• Phase 3: Orgasmic
• Phase 4: Resolution
Human sexual response cycle
 Normal Sexual Behavior
• Sexual response is a true psychophysiological
experience
• There is….
– Arousal
– Experience of tension
– Orgasm
• Four phase response cycle in relation to
stimulation
– Phase 1: Desire
– Phase 2: Excitement
– Phase 3: Orgasm
– Phase 4: Resolution
Physiologic Changes Associated
with the Sexual Response Cycle
 Phase 1: Excitement
The excitement phase (also known as the
arousal phase or initial excitement phase) is
the first stage of the human sexual response
cycle. It occurs as the result of any erotic
physical or mental stimulation, such as kissing,
petting, or viewing erotic images, that lead to
sexual arousal. During the excitement stage, the
body prepares for coitus, or sexual intercourse.
 Four Phase Response Cycle
• Phase 1: Desire
– Motivation, drives, and personality towards
the love object
– Sexual fantasies and desire to have sexual
activity
 Phase 1: Excitement

of men and most of minora and vaginal
women) wall
 Breast enlargement and
enlarge areolae
 Phase 2: Plateau

increases to levels nearing orgasm, may
last from 30 seconds to 3 minutes
 Four Phase Response Cycle

sperm are secreted at the height of
excitement

deep red
-Increase in the heartbeat and respiration
rates
-Heightened excitement lasts 30 secs to
several hours
 Phase 2: Plateau
Signs Present in Both Sexes
 Increased voluntary and
involuntary myotonia
 Abdominal, intercostal, anal,
and facial muscle
contraction

respiratory rate and blood
pressure

some men late in the phase;
spread over the entire body
in women)
Signs Present In Males Only
 Increased in penile
circumference, at the
coronal ridge, and deepening
in color

the bulbourethral glands at
tip of penis; may contain
sperm
Signs Present In Females Only

platform, increased in the
size of the outer one-third of
the vagina and the labia
minora
 Slight increase in width and
depth of the inner two-thirds
of the vagina
 Farther reddening of the
labia minora
 Appearance of few drops of
mucoid secretion from the
Bartholin’s glands to
lubricate the inner labia
 Farther increase in breast
size and areolar enlargement
 Phase 3: Orgasmic
This phase is the climax of the sexual
response cycle. It is the shortest of the
phases and generally lasts only a few
seconds.

that of the male
 Phase 4: Resolution
Occurs after orgasm and allows the
muscles to relax, blood pressure to drop
and the body to slow down from its
excited state.
 Four Phase Response Cycle
• Phase 4: Resolution
– Disgorgement of blood from the genitalia
(detumescence)
– With subjective feelings of well-being, general
relaxation and muscle relaxation
