According to a study done by psychologists Anderson, Carnagey, and Eubanks, the lyrics one can hear from a song can definitely influence his or her thoughts, ideas, and even behavior (Edgar 63). About 90 percent of rap music videos have inappropriate scenes in the videos (Edgar 61). Alvin Izebere, an expert in human behavior, said rap music videos had made fellow individuals to commit sexual offences. For instance, a 9 year old boy was featured in a sexually explicit music video and a boy of the same age saw the video and started doing the same thing the boy was doing in the music video. A health care research organization discovered that those who listened to rap music with lyrics that "objectified and limited characterizations of sexuality" reported a faster progression in their own sexual behavior (Edgar 66).
Analytic Response to “Does Watching Sex on Television Influence Teens' Sexual Activity?” Rebecca L. Collins wrote an article titled “Does Watching Sex on Television Influence Teens’ Sexual Activity?” in the book “Pediatrics.” In this article, she examined two recent studies to let us know how watching sex on television affects teens’ sexual activity. The main argument of the article is, “Does television influence teens’ sexual activity or not?” Collins’ argument shows that watching sexual television influences teens’ sexual activity, and this influence can lead to both bad and good consequences. She also gave suggestions on how we could reduce teens’ problems when it comes to the relationship between watching sex on television and teens’ sexual activity. Collins’ claim is that “expose[r] to television sex may hasten the initiation of sexual activity among teens”; this is an example of a way the influence is bad (543). On the other hand, television can “inform teens about risks and foster communication with parents”, which is a good influence on teens (544).
Firstly, Brown uses expert opinion. He quotes D Lum from the Maroondah hospital and the shocking fact that young children, whilst drunk are being sexually assaulted. This would position his readers, mostly parents to see the dark side of alcohol and teenagers as no parent would want for their teenage child to be sexually assaulted. Secondly he uses statistics. Brown highlights the 300% increase in hospital admissions of drunken teenagers.

Orgasm is characterized in both sexes by an acme of sexual pleasure variously associated with rhythmic contractions of perineal and reproductive structures, cardiovascular and respiratory changes and release of sexual tension. [4] SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION Sexual dysfunctions are characterized by disturbances in sexual desire and in the psychophysiological changes associated with the sexual response cycle in men and women. [5] SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN GENERAL POPULATION It appears that sexual dysfunctions are highly prevalent in both sexes, ranging from 10% to 52% of men and 25% to 63% of women. [6-8] Data from the massachusetts male aging study [9] (mmas) showed that 34.8% of men aged 40 to 70 years had moderate to complete erectile dysfunction, which was strongly related to age, health status, and emotional
The male persistently ejaculates with minimal sexual stimulation and too rapidly to permit his partner or himself to enjoy sexual relations fully (University of phoenix, 2009). Health can play a role in sexual dysfunctions. Lack of desire, can be due to diabetes or deficient levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, the hormone that plays a key role in activating sexual drive in both men and women (University of phoenix, 2009). Depressants such as alcohol, narcotics, and tranquilizers can also impair sexual response and lack of sexual drive or interest is often connected with mental health problems, especially depression (University of phoenix, 2009). There are many more causes of sexual dysfunctions that consist of cultural differences, religious beliefs, and the most common, health problems or the medications taken from these problems.
Stereotypes of disability concentrate on sex because sexual agency is often considered an essential characteristic of adulthood—something those with disabilities are perceived as unable to achieve. What we must realize is that this is not a matter of disability but a matter of impossibility, for the way in which disability studies have explored sexuality reveals that society’s perception of the disabled prevents them from expressing themselves freely. The censorship that has cumulated over decades has formulated our notion than when disabled people are seen as sexual, it is in a deviant manner such as masturbation because as a society we refuse to accept and normalize the fact that disabled people do have sexuality, regardless of their physical or mental
The Sexual Response Cycle Amanda Turner PSY/210 February 14, 2010 Kathy Smith 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. The sexual response cycle for man and women have some similarities and some differences. Knowing how one’s body responds during each phase of the cycle can enhance a relationship and help one pinpoint the cause of sexual dysfunction (Cleveland Clinic, 1995). The sexual response cycle is divided into four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Both men and women experience the four phases of the sexual response cycle, although the timing is usually different.
