From the Paper
"Although people may think that female sexual dysfunction stems from psychological reasons, there may be problems physically in terms of the female vagina. Or, sexual dysfunction can result from urinary issues, past sexual abuse, or something that may be chemically unbalanced. After the initial physical testing, say from the gynecologist, urologist and Internist, and there is nothing wrong in terms of sexual dysfunction, the next step is definitely counseling. However, some women feel embarrassed to seek counseling in this field and either blame themselves, blame their spouse, and/or blame their past relationship. Many women are informed to use various creams and ointment for pleasure however they return because the husband doesn't enjoy the feeling. Increasingly, women are being referred to counselors specializing in sexual disorders. "

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews how human desire and sexuality can become the victims of racism. Particularly, the paper examines two articles which underscore how the sexual urges of white men vis-a-vis black women were valorized and legitimated even when that meant rape, at the same time as the sexuality of black men, especially as it pertained to white women, was de-legitimized.

From the Paper
"Human Sexuality and Racism: A Discussion of Two Articles There is little doubt that human sexuality and desire can function as a form of racism. That being said, racist desire and racist assumptions about sexuality can still be combated by vigilant citizens. The following paper will review the work of Lewis R. Gordon and Siobhan Somerville with an eye towards examining how human sexuality functions as racism (on occasion) and also how people can fight against racism when it appears in such instances."

From the Paper
"The Internet provides the forum for one person to have several different sexual personas with different ages, genders, preferences and desires."
"This has held true through other readings I have done in the past. In fact, news shows are constantly broadcasting the fact that people use the internet to pretend to be something other than what they are. An extreme example is that show that sets people up with a decoy and they believe they are coming to meet a 12-year-old girl and the cameras are waiting when they arrive."
"Outside of such illegal and immoral behaviors articles have supported the idea that the Internet is an alluring sex arena because it allows participants to "try on" various personas and act out their sexual fantasies while remaining safely hidden behind invented names, genders and pictures."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that in recent times, there has been a tremendous amount of discussion about Christianity and its approach to human sexuality. The writer points out that depending on the commentator, the Church's position on sexuality is empowering, negative, supportive, or neutral. In addition, the writer discusses that some suggest that it is impossible to describe one Christian view about sexuality because of the various positions that differing Christians have taken regarding the relationship between one's sexuality and one's spirituality. However, such an answer belies the fact that, until recently, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and all of the mainstream Protestant denominations took a negative view of human sexuality except for the purposes of procreation. The writer concludes that one must assume that the Christian view of sexuality will continue to evolve, as science and society gain a greater understanding of human sexuality.

From the Paper
"It is important to recognize that there is not one version of Christianity. Orthodox Christians and Catholics have a similar approach to the church, and their religions are shaped and formed by much outside of Scripture. In fact, with Catholicism, given that the Pope is considered to be the voice of God, some extra-scriptural things are given more weight than the words in the actual scripture. This attitude has allowed for the development of a religion that expands upon, explains, and even contradicts, the teachings in the Bible. Protestantism, as the name implies, began as a reaction to the Catholic Church's deviations from scripture, and has been characterized by faithfulness to the literal interpretation of the Bible. The problem with the Protestant approach is that the Bible relays information about events, which has been perverted by people into an endorsement of those events and behaviors. In fact, Biblical literalism may have damaged the Church, especially in gender and race relations. Anti-Semitism, slavery, homophobia, and sexism have all been explained away and even justified by the use or misuse of Scripture."

Abstract
This paper explains that the social learning approach suggests that human sexuality should be examined more from a cognitive than a biological perspective. Even though sexuality is a complex issue, the author points out that this theory indicates that individuals are entirely in charge of their decisions and roles with regard to sexuality. The paper concludes that this multi-disciplinary approach opens new ways of exploring human behavior and sexual impulses and for treating problems associated with human sexuality.

From the Paper
"The hypothesis and case for social learning theory presented by Dyrne & Hogben is backed by scientific theory and the works of early researchers that examined social learning theory with regard to human behavior in general. However, the authors do fail to explore social learning theory with regard to actual cultures and patterns of human sexual behavior.
"However, this gap in research is actually filled by other researchers that have explored the social learning perspective."

Abstract
This paper explains that cultural competence refers to one's ability to understand, interact and respond to individuals with different world views or cultures. The author points out that it differs from cultural awareness or sensitivity in that it is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes and policies, which come together in a system, agency or among professionals and enables them to work effectively in cross-cultural situations The paper stresses that cultural competency includes being sensitive to individuals of different races, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic status, among others. The author underscores that cultural competency is reflected in the professional's attitude and communication style. The paper suggests several steps to develop personal cultural competency.

From the Paper
"Right now, there are many things I can do to promote my own cultural awareness and sensitivity. Of course, I can (and have) take course work in sociology, culture, and communication. However, traditional coursework can only provide factual and historical knowledge, which is why it is important to take courses with an experiential focus where one must interact with others and then reflect upon and self-assess their experiences. Another thing I can do is participate in social activities with a diverse array of individuals."

Abstract
This paper describes the case in which Bob has been referred for counseling because he has been suffering from premature ejaculation, one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions. Next, the author examines the definition of premature ejaculation, the assessment of human sexuality and the assessment of Bob and Jane's relationship. After reviewing Bob's multi-axial diagnostic, the paper concludes that the use of genograms, sex therapy exercises and psychotherapy therapy models are very proactive approaches to help clients like Bob and Jane to obtain sexual normality and continue creating a very healthy and successful relationship.

"The other subtype is called psychological constitution premature ejaculation, which is thought to be caused a personality trait that speeds up the rate of ejaculation due in part by a chronic psychological disorder. Some of these disorder include; depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Is a psychological disorder is in question, the counselor should evaluate the client, and utilize assessment testing like the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) to determine if there is any psychological disorder present. The MMPI-2 is a 567-item assessment with built in validity scales and is used to test for a variety of clinical disorders."

Abstract
This paper examines homosexuality and discusses the facts that are known about homosexuality. The paper defines the term homosexuality and cautions that homosexuality consists of much more than how individuals engage in sexual activity. The author provides a short history of the presence of homosexuality in societies throughout the world and discusses how the acceptance of homosexuality varies across cultures. The paper also counsels that the stereotypes surrounding homosexuality should be examined cautiously, as they are not accurate representations of the whole.

From the Paper
"Thus, the environment, and our experiences as we grow up do impact our sexual orientation, but they likely impact our decisions of whether or not to follow our sexual orientation than the actual orientation itself. To elaborate, social norms dictate how young girls and young boys are to behave, our parents, teachers and friends put a great deal of effort, whether conscious or unconscious, into moulding our personalities and behaviours in a manner that will fit with our gender. Society raises nearly everyone to expect that they will be heterosexual, and in turn, society expects everyone to be heterosexual. Because homosexuality is viewed as a deviation from the norm, there are few places in society that can be found that would encourage children to view their future as holding homosexuality as a possibility."
