" This paper is an argument in favor of the use of chemical castration as a means of dealing with male sex offenders, especially pedophiles. Since the early 1980s, scientists and the courts have experimented with a method of inhibiting the testosterone levels of convicted rapists, using injections of medroxyprogesterone acetate, commonly known as Depo-Provera. Developed for women to control excessive menstrual bleeding and regulate contraception, Depo-Provera has been used in men to reduce aggressive tendencies and repress the sex drive. Although a controversial technique, this form of treatment is reversible, unlike physical castration, and some courts have been willing to consider it as an option in repeat cases; California became the first state in the nation to mandate this treatment as a condition of parole for repeat child molesters.

" INTRODUCTION
The subject is incurable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and ways of preventing them in the population. The two incurable STDs are herpes and AIDS, the one a chronic complaint and the other a syndrome reducing the ability of the body to resist disease and leading to death. The need is to persuade people to take immediate steps to prevent the spread of these diseases, which are preventable using certain techniques and making certain changes in behavior. What is needed is increased spending to promote these behavior changes and to educate more people about the problems associated with certain risky sexual behaviors.

STDS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES
One form of preventive measure undertaken for other diseases.."

"Constructing The Sexual Crucible
Introduction
Constructing the Sexual Crucible by Schnarch (1991) offers material to help people with sexual concerns who fall into the functional, dysfunctional, and blessed few categories. The goal of the book is to create a paradigm shift or a new modality for sexual-marital therapy, rather than to simply increase knowledge in this area (pp. xiv-xv). This reaction paper regards Schnarch's model as a treatment modality pertaining to intimacy and sexuality, constructing the crucible, and inside the crucible related to sexual dysfunction in the marital relationship.

The sexual crucible is a treatment approach based on intimacy and eroticism. It focuses on a non-reciprocity model of intimacy with sexuality as a vehicle for growth. It is.."

"Paul Monette, in Borrowed Time: an AIDS Memoir, writes about the last nineteen months of his lover Roger Horwitz's life, after Roger was stricken with AIDS. This study will focus on the love between the two men, rather than on the terrible disease which brought their relationship to an end on this earth. The book can certainly be read as simply another work about AIDS, but when one sees first that the author is writing out of a focus on love for Roger and for their time together rather than out of a focus on the disease which tore them apart and killed Roger.

Of course, it is especially difficult to focus on the love when so much that goes on between Paul and Roger has to do with the disease and its effects. This is especially true when the reader realizes that the book's beginning and end refer to the fact that the author himself is carrying the virus that killed.."

" FLIRTATION AND SEXUALITY
Introduction
The subject of interpersonal flirtation and sexuality has been examined across a variety of situations such as the workplace or at school (Crano & Messe, 1995) and across a variety male/female behaviors (Dworetzky, 1995) in diverse populations such as young people, older people, neurotics and/or psychotics (Papalia & Olds, 1995; Sue, Sue & Sue, 1994). The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the most current research in this area.

Flirtation and Communication
A good deal of the general research in the area of flirtation has examined it in relation to the communication of sexually-related themes such as communicating that one is.."

"This study will examine and compare the views of male-female relationships and marriage in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (Brett and Romero), Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (Clarissa and Richard), and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Elizabeth and Darcy). The study will show that the Brett-Romero relationship is the most passionate, shallow and brief, while the Elizabeth-Darcy and Clarissa-Richard relationships are relatively without passion and yet will probably survive precisely because both partners seek a long-term union with stability and security rather than short-term passion. In all three relationships, the more fascinating and more fully examined member is the woman, with each reflecting a different level of passion, liberation, and self-knowledge.

Hemingway portrays the brief and sexually charged..."

"Women's role and status changed considerably from the decade after the Civil War to the years of the Bush presidency. While women's status remained secondary to men throughout this time (and through the present) in terms of such generally accepted markers of social standing as political power, economic independence and cultural importance, women during this period in many ways ceased to be regarded as only mothers, daughters or wives and became simply human beings with their own identities independent from the men to whom they were related.

Charting the changes that women underwent during this period of time is a difficult one for a number of reasons. To begin with, while some changes can be quantified or at least assessed (women's salaries as compared to men?s, for example, or the equitableness of divorce laws), others cannot. How an individual woman..."

"This paper is an examination of the economic and societal changes that are creating the latest changes in the meaning of family, home, and male and female roles within the family in America. These concepts have always been evolving in response to industrialization, technology, and economic forces within the larger society. Definitions and roles that are considered traditional are actually no more permanent than newer responses. The feminist movement and women's liberation efforts are as much an economic response as they are a societal realization that the sexes have an inherent right to equal treatment. Although sociologists disagree about the extent to which gender equality has been established or can be established, male/female relations within marriage have undergone fundamental changes over the last few decades. This evolution is certain to continue, irrevocably..."

"SEXUAL HARASSMENT AS AN ETHICAL DILEMMA

This research considers sexual harassment as an ethical dilemma in the business (or organizational) environment. Within the realm of ethics, balance theory, the optimal rational model, the bounded rational model, the intuitive model, and the concept of propinquity are discussed.
The topic of sexual harassment has become increasingly importance in the United States as women-the usual targets of sexual harassment-have come to comprise a larger proportion of the country's work force (Lee & Greenlaw, 1995). A study of federal workers revealed that 42 percent of the female employees reported being sexually harassed within a two-year period (Merit Systems Protection Board, 1988). Another study found that one-half or more of working women can expect to be sexually harassed during their ..."

"This paper is an examination of the differences in communication styles, content, and method of interpretation that are the result of gender. As bestsellers such as John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus point out, men and women frequently appear to be speaking entirely different languages, even when the vocabulary, syntax, and grammar they use are identical. This is partly the result of the inherent garbling that occurs within any communication process, but it is also because of essential differences between the two sexes. The contrasts in biology, anatomy, and genes provide the initial reason for gender miscommunication, while the influences of society account for the fundamentally contrasting ways in which men and women select the messages they send and transmit to others. Understanding these differences can offer fascinating ..."

"The report entitled Sexual Behavior in the Human Female is the result of research conducted by a number of scientists. This report was the second, after the volume on male sexual behavior, in a projected series. Like the first book the present volume is often referred to by the phrase the "Kinsey Report," after the originator of the project, and its lead researcher, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, a biologist from Indiana University. On being asked by the University to teach a course in sex education Kinsey was shocked to discover the near complete lack of reliable information on the subject. An entomologist by training, Kinsey found that the few available studies of the subject of sexual behavior "lacked the statistical validity [he] deemed essential" and so he began to conduct his own interviews (Brecher 112). Kinsey began his research with the decision that because so much..."

In the popular press, much of the discussion about television's influence has focused on television violence or sex on television. However, television's portrays of both women and men may also have a significant influence on children's development.

Introduction
In the popular press, much of the discussion about television's influence has focused on television violence or sex on television. However, television's portrays of both women and men may also have a significant influence on children's development. Certainly both young children and adolescents recognize that women and men are filling specific gender roles on television programs. In a 1995 survey of more than 2,000 children in third to twelfth grades, for example, 55% of the girls indicated that there were too few programs about females ..."

"The Modern Gay and Lesbian Political Movement

Introduction
The modern movement to gain civil and political rights for sexual minority persons has been operating at some level throughout this century. However, there was no significant progress culturally and legally until the 1970s. At that point, the gay/lesbian movement built upon the surging African-American civil rights movement and feminist rights movement and began to gain success.

The sexual minority political movement, as it has developed in the United States during the last thirty years, has helped articulate a new politics. This movement rejected the sharp distinction between the public and private realms and has largely maintained that politics is deeply personal. The intention in ..."

"The Internet has enjoyed explosive growth in recent years, as people worldwide go online in search of information, entertainment, and commerce. No business has benefited more from the online craze than purveyors of pornography. The anonymity of using the Internet has made it the medium of choice for consumers of adult material. The pervasiveness of pornography in cyberspace has prompted many American lawmakers to call for limitations or even an outright ban of such material. In this paper, I will argue that any attempts to ban pornography on the Internet are unwise, unworkable, and unconstitutional.


Those who would censor pornography on the Internet cite several reasons. First and foremost, they want to protect children, who will be harmed by continued exposure to pornography at a young age. Proponents of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)..."
