Abstract
This paper compares the concept of the public female sexual self, as portrayed by two 18th century writers: Eliza Hayward and Alexander Pope. The paper analyzes Hayward's text, "Fantomina," and Pope's text, "Eloisa to Abelard", citing examples from the texts and discussing their context in the work in order to compare the two texts and their authors.
From the Paper
"Once this innocence is transgressed, Eloisa continues to burn with heat within, heat that suggests fire and damnation, although Pope does not openly condemn Eloisa as Haywood does Fantomina. Although Haywood has been described essentially as a conservative in her presentation of conventional morality, by suggesting such a hyper-sexualized public sphere, she herself paradoxically causes the reader to see sexuality where it might not otherwise seem to be lurking. The outer sexuality infiltrates the home, and even creates it within an innocent girl. In the message of almost all of the author's works, the house by day can be a scene of debauchery at night if strangers are allowed to enter it, just as it was in the case of Eloise (Pettit 2002, p.1)."

" I. Introduction
Statement of the Problem
Childhood sexual abuse continues to be prevalent and prevention or intervention efforts are considered a failure ("Child," 1999; Gelles, 1998). Childhood sexual abuse results in effects that continue into adulthood. Relationships between this sexual abuse and adult problems such as depression, anxiety, drug abuse, attempted suicide, and psychiatric disorders, have been found (McCauley, Kern, Kolodner, Dill, Schroeder, DeChant, Ryden, Derogatis, & Bass, 1997). In addition, effects of this abuse on college students has been indicated by increased drop-out rates for this population (Duncan, 2000). Studies with clinical populations appear to be.."

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

Abstract
Female characters using their sexuality to achieve what they want in Hollywood films is a strategy that is used over and over again by film makers. The paper shows that while many movies use the same basic themes when it comes to female sexuality, there are some variances from the norm. This paper discusses different forms of female sexuality as they appear in three Hollywood films, "The Ice Storm", "Boys Don't Cry" and "Thelma and Louise". From these movies three specific characters are studied: Wendy Hood, Brandon Teena and Thelma, respectively. The paper shows that these three women all represent female sexuality differently. They don't all fit the stereotypes of women that other movies tend to portray. Although there are some similarities between the three characters, the portrayals vary as to how the characters use their sexuality and femininity and it is these differences the paper examines.
From the Paper
"Another similarity between the movies is that they all portray women who are struggling with something. Whether it's coming of age, sexual identity, or a discovery of who they really are, all three women have something very important going on in their lives that they must deal with. Brandon Teena has the largest problem to handle of the three selected women, but Wendy and Thelma must struggle with their own beliefs and actions as well. The actions of others that directly affect each of the women must also be dealt with."

Abstract
Traces the historical evolution of female sexual-social mores, the biological influences on female mating preferences and styles, and the evolution of the monogamous and non-monogamous family. It ends with a discussion of the implications of exchange theory and the scarcity model of economics as it relates to modern monogamy and its social, emotional, and physical consequences.
Historical Evolution of Female Sexual Social Mores
The Biological Evolution of Female Sexual Preferences
Future Evolution of the Family
The Social and Emotional Consequences of Serial Monogamous
Relationships
The Social and Emotional Ramifications of Non-Monogamous Relationships
Possible Evolutions: Scarcity Model versus Abundance Models of Sexual
Economics
From the Paper
"The forces of history and biology have served to promote the suppression of female sexuality and the idealizations of monogamy among female humans. However, the recent rise of feminist power movements, secure birth control methods, and a cultural ?sexual? revolution have combined to make non-monogamous lifestyles the norm. While most women still embrace the ideal of monogamy, life-long marriage relationships have been replaced by serial monogamy as the standard in Western Culture. Non-monogamous relationships are also gaining in popularity."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the literary French artiste' Colette, in a duet of short stories, "Gigi" and "The Cat", is able to explain some of the sexual nuances that make the sexes behave as they do; perhaps bringing some insight into our own present day relationships.
From the paper:
"Light vs. Darkness, Muslim vs. Christian, North vs. South, Football vs. Oprah, conflicts such as these rage on in our 21st century society. Of all conflicts the one furthest from resolution and the most highly contested seems to be the age-old battle of male sexuality vs. female sexuality. What do the opposing ?dramatis personae? desire? How do they propose to attain it? Are the variances between the sexes really as vast as we?ve been led to believe? Through exquisite prose and imagery, the literary French artiste? Colette, in a duet of short stories Gigi and The Cat, is able to explain some of the sexual nuances that make the sexes behave as they do; perhaps bringing some insight into our own present day relationships ."

Abstract
This paper argues that the "script" states that there is only one type of woman acceptable to society which compromises women's sexual agency. It explains how this limits the female ability to be in charge of understanding, acting on and satisfying their own sexual desire.
From the Paper

Abstract
It is vital to point out that societal structures and family arrangements create institutions which set the foundation for the sexual exploitation of women. This paper connects this topic to our society's definition of the role of the family. Barry demonstrates how prostitutes are sexual slaves and not just through sex. She argues that men who control society, set up institutions which allow the exploitation and objectification of women to occur, because it is in their interest to do so.

Abstract
This paper examines how classically male vampires in horror films are portrayed in a sympathetic light as tortured men who are suffering from a compulsion rather than having homicidal tendencies. It looks at how the female vampires of the 1970?s, however, are depicted in a completely different manner. They are young, beautiful, and unrepentant; their goal is not only to satisfy their cravings, but also to corrupt and consume the souls of their victims. It analyzes how filmmakers of this era depict these strong, sensual women as sexual deviants through a review of such films as "The Vampire Lovers" (1970), "Lust for a Vampire" (1971), and "A Filha de Dracula" (1972).
From the Paper
"By the 1970?s, monsters in horror films changed a great deal, especially in the case of female monsters. The stereotypical masculine lesbian expected by audiences was replaced by the heterosexual male fantasy of the hyper-feminine woman (Cook 45). In female vampire films, young, nubile women strut about, often without their clothes, purely for the benefit of the heterosexual male audience. They are portrayed as carefree and unrepentant; the curse that burdens the male vampire is conspicuously absent from these films. ?Hedonism above compulsion? (Silver 112) is accentuated as the primary source of motivation for their deviant behavior. The female vampire?s victims, similar to those of the male vampire, are young and na?ve, yet there is a romantic aspect that is not present in male vampire films. The female vampire derives as much pleasure from the seduction of her victim as she does from drawing blood."

Female Sexuality and Spinal Cord Injury, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses that the impact a spinal cord injury (SCI) has on the sexual functioning depends on the type and level of injury, the treatment and the medication used. This paper reports that the physical effects following severing of the spinal cord are the lack of sexual arousal due to psychogenic stimuli; physiological arousal is possible. The author believes it is important that the patient?s condition is evaluated recognizing the change in lifestyle that SCI demands.
From the Paper
"As in all other human bodily systems, the central nervous system controls sexual function. Any injury to the central nervous system consequently affects sexual function. The question is to what extent function and sensation will be affected with injuries at various levels and degrees of severity. (Boller & Frank, 1982) In the normal course of life, women generally have alterations in their sexual desire, ability to lubricate and/or have comfortable intercourse, or in their ability to reach or feel orgasm. Changes to genital sensation or urinary or bowel incontinence also affect the sexual response. Fortunately, women with neurological changes not affecting their hormonal status are usually fertile. Like men, overall sexual functioning, and risk of bladder and bowel incontinence, mobility issues, general health, medication, relationships and sexual self-view also determine a woman's sexual interest."

Female Sexuality in "Dracula", 2004.
An analysis of the way gender roles are presented in Bram Stoker's "Dracula".

Abstract
This paper examines how critics have argued that 'much of the novel's great appeal derives from its hostility toward female sexuality' and how arguably, there are instances in the text where female sexuality is indeed viewed negatively: It is seen as animalistic, masculine and frightening. It critically discusses the way gender roles are portrayed, including attraction and repulsion between the sexes and the ways in which Stoker uses images to signify religious themes and sex.
From the Paper
"Contrastingly, after Lucy's transformation, it is precisely her womanliness that is focussed upon, with Seward observing that 'she was, if possible, more radiantly beautiful that ever' (p. 240). In fact, Lucy's fate epitomises the treatment of female sexuality in the novel. She is considered to be sweet and 'pure' (p. 253) until Dracula awakens her sexuality, then the men hate, fear her and cannot believe she is the same person: 'the remnant of my love turned into hate and loathing; had she then to be killed, I could have done it with savage delight' (p. 253). Literally, she rejects stereotypical femininity, as 'with a careless motion, she flung to the ground, callous as a devil, the child that up to now she had clutched strenuously to her breast' (p. 253)."

Abstract
This paper explores the struggle of Del and Esther to understand and assert their sexualities in a society that pressures them to repress their desires and submit to men's desires. It shows how both characters succeed in becoming actively sexual people, even though they are pressured to stay virginal until they are married, to subdue and ignore their sexual desires, and to be submissive to male sexuality.
From the Paper
"For a young woman, coming of age and exploring her own sexuality is confusing enough without being bombarded by sexual stereotypes and gender-specific expectations. Del and Esther, the respective protagonists of Munro?s Lives of Girls and Women and Plath?s The Bell Jar, are two such women, who are faced with the pressure of conforming to a certain ?feminine? expectation of sexual behavior (or lack thereof). As much as Del an Esther fumble their way through their first sexual experiences, they manage to take control of their sex lives by overcoming the burden they feel to resemble the image of society?s sexually passive woman."

Abstract
This paper considers Bram Stoker's "Dracula" from a feminist perspective. The paper analyzes the novel's depiction of female sexuality and male dominance and incorporates Victorian ideals of womanhood.
From the Paper
"While Bram Stoker's "Dracula" is often considered simply a thrilling Gothic tale of vampires and the eternal struggle between good and evil, there is much sub text underlying the novel that speaks to the social conventions of the period in which Stoker wrote the text. Indeed much can be gleaned about Victorian society from the narrative in "Dracula" as Stoker's characters all serve to embody various societal ideals or concerns."

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.
From the Paper
"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..."

"Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."
