"Human Sexuality and Its Problems"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the book, "Human Sexuality and its Problems", by John Bancroft and looks at how the author sought to accomplish two purposes. It explores how the book was intended to aid health professionals working with sexual problems and how the "wider purpose" of the book, however, was to help readers understand how a variety of factors and human interactions actually affect human sexuality. It shows how Bancroft argues that understanding human sexuality is contingent upon the ability of people to grasp the complex relationship between mind and body interaction.

From the Paper:

"Interestingly, Bancroft also delves into the realm of medical practice as related to Human Sexuality. He breaks the notion of Human Sexuality down into a scientific experiment of sorts, describing both the direct physical and indirect psychological effect of human sexuality. Related to the direct physical effects of human sexuality, Bancroft discusses genital and vascular responses, and potential "side effects" of sexuality including pain, general malaise, fatigue and lack of desire. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Bancroft describes psychological effects often associated with Human Sexuality, including effects on the individual and the effects of an individual in a relationship."
