    L11 - Sexual Behavior

    Uploaded by

    Myles Adrian Palanas
    Sexual behavior refers to actions that express sexual motivations or intentions, whether overt or covert. Context is important, as behaviors can have different meanings. Sexual behaviors include autoerotic acts like masturbation as well as behaviors directed at others, either same-sex or opposite-sex. For reproduction, copulation through vaginal penetration is necessary, though positions vary. Non-copulatory behaviors like hugging and kissing are also considered sexual. Dysfunctions and paraphilias involving atypical arousal are also discussed.

    LESSON 11

    SEXUAL
    BEHAVIOR
    File Edit View

    In simple terms, it refers to actions. These are the


    things that we do, both overt or observable and
    covert or not readily observable by the naked eye.

    On a daily basis, we act because of a motivation-


    something that drives us to do something. Others
    believe that we do things because we want to
    achieve pleasure or avoid pain.

    WHAT IS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR?

    Module 01 Sexual Behavior are actions that humans agree to


    interpret as an expression of their sexual motivations or
    intentions. It is important remember that behavior are
    given meaning by people. For instance, while hugging
    Module 02
    and kissing maybe considered sexual in nature, this is
    not always the case because the context of the
    behavior matters.

    PURPOSES

    COPULATION or the insertion of the penis to the vagina is necessary. Humans can
    assume two positions in the process. More common is ventral position
    (ventris: abdomen) wherein the male and female species are facing each other.
    Alternatively, a ventral-dorsal position (dorsum: back), may be assumed wherein
    the abdomen of the male species is facing the dorsum of the female species, such
    that insertion of the penis to the vagina is from behind.
    They also include an array of non-copulation sexual behaviors such as hugging,
    kissing, caressing.
