Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of educating teenagers in order to prevent irresponsible sexual behavior. It also shows how some parents and other concern-groups are against this idea, claiming that it makes teenagers too aware. The paper cites research and surveys done in this area by parents and educational institutions.
From the Paper
"Americans have adjusted a lot of their thinking when it comes to teenage sexuality during recent years. There was a time when a pregnant teen would have been removed from the school and sent to a school for unwed mothers. There was a time when a sexually active female was labeled a slut, or said to be loose. Those days are on the retreat as Americans accept teenage sexuality more than ever before. With that acceptance comes the question of when and how to teach sex education. Schools are at a crossroad because they are dealing with pregnant teens but many parents are opposed to the sex education of their children within the school system. Teen pregnancy, teen sexual preference and many other topics are not being addressed today in teen living classes, and students are gaining their education on the street. The adults are not going to stop teen sexual activity, nor will they stop those who are gay from being gay. The best thing that can be done to assist in the area of teenage sexuality is to provide a solid and truthful education so that they can be safe and they can be happy."

Abstract
This paper studies current research on the impact of drinking alcohol on one's decision to engage in risky sexual behavior. The paper's extensive literature review indicates that despite the social stigma that may be associated with certain drinking and sexual behavior activities, there remains strong social and peer pressure to participate in both activities. The paper also demonstrates how the linkage between consumption of alcohol and sexual activity begins at relatively young ages in American and western culture. The author of this paper attempts to clarify statistics regarding drinking and sexual behavior, as well as recommendations regarding the connection. Specifically, high-risk sexual behavior among various age and social groups is addressed, such as sexual rebellion and conformity, compulsive or uneducated choices, exposure to sexually transmitted diseases, and sexual assault.
From the Paper
"The University of Arkansas for Medical Studies has found that attitudes about appropriate sexual behavior, as well as those regarding appropriate alcohol consumption, are formed in youth at a very young age, and by the preteen years children have already developed a unique attitude regarding these subjects. A Thomson Healthcare Company (2004) report reveals that risky behavior may be minimized in adolescents and young adults if parents were to discuss standards and beliefs on sexual and other issues with children at a younger age, because relating these values to older children is not as effective. Alcohol use has been shown to lead to early initiation of sexual activity, as well as being related to the number of sexual partners that preteens and adolescents will have, particularly in high-risk groups. These high-risk youth groups include inner-city females, males in detention homes, and gay and bisexual males. Alcohol is not the only substance that is prevalent in these high-risk groups; marijuana is also associated with altered sexual statistics. Intervention treatment for youths to help curb consumption of alcohol may also help delay sexual activity, or decrease the number of sexual partners and overall risk associated with sexual activity, are encouraged as early as 9 to 12 years of age."

Abstract
With all of the problems found in the adolescent sexuality of the inner city African American community, problems are just as common in more rural, more seemingly innocent, cultures such as that of the Amish. The paper shows that the simpler throwback Amish culture is one whose sexuality can be just as male-centric and just as harmful to its adolescents as that found in the big bustling looming city. This paper discusses the varied sexualities thrust upon youth in both the African American urban culture and the United States' small but noteworthy Amish culture, comparing and contrasting the two societies' beliefs.
From the Paper
"It's a concern for many, for researchers, city leaders, conservative and liberal politicians, community members, and distanced bigots: the rise in sexual promiscuity in the African American community. What is sometimes almost jokingly referred to within the black community as "babies having babies" is not a comical matter when the multitudes of unwanted or uncared-for children are counted, when the list of sexually transmitted diseases and complications is read, when the adverse and overarching effects of lost innocence and premature sexuality are admitted. Yet, with all of the problems found in the adolescent sexuality of the inner city African American community, problems are just as common in more rural, more seemingly "innocent" cultures, such as that of the Amish."

Abstract
This paper explores what psychologists call compulsive sexual behavior. Although this disorder is classified in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders), therapists and researchers question whether moral judgments may influence a diagnosis. The paper further describes the major categories of compulsive sexual behavior. Finally, the paper concludes that there is disagreement as to whether CSB is an addiction, a psychosexual developmental disorder, an impulse control disorder, a mood disorder, or an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
From the Paper
"According to Vukadinovic, literature on sexual compulsivity and sexual addiction has been preoccupied with issues of definition, especially as it pertains to DSM-IV (Vukadinovic). Moreover, there has been little attention given to the possible causal explanations for why, in some cases, sexual behavior become problematic (Vukadinovic). Most researchers make statements about likely mechanisms, such as anxiety reduction or mood regulation, however there are usually based on clinical impression rather than on reported data (Vukadinovic).
Researchers are now giving more attention to the fact that out of control sexual behavior can be reduced with mood elevating drugs such as the SSRIs, but as yet, no one knows the extent to which such pharmacological benefits, when they occur, result from improvement in mood or specific inhibition of sexual repsonse or both (Vukadinovic)."

From the Paper
"Teenage sexuality creates many problems in American society and is seen as contributing to the high rate of illegitimate births, the perpetuation of poverty, the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and various other social problems related to what has come to be called "children having children." The issue has been studied from a variety of perspectives with an eye to ascertaining the nature of the problem, the response of society, and many other issues. The current battle in schools and other institutions is between those who have capitulated and who believe that the best way to reduce pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases is through the distribution of condoms and those who believe that discouraging teenage sex is the answer and who therefore support programs of abstinence. The reality falls..."

Abstract
This paper examines "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Deliverance" (1972) and "Indecent Proposal" (1993) and discusses how attitudes towards sexual promiscuity and sexual behavior has changed over the 40 year period. Each film is discussed in detail and a conclusion is provided.
From the Paper
"The three films discussed above show that there have been significant changes in patterns of sexual behavior which have been reflected in popular films. The element of sexuality has always been an important part of the artist and filmmakers resources. However, the concept of sexuality changes over time. While sexuality was seen as a natural element of life that is innocent within itself but could be abused in the 1960's, we find that the films from the 1990's see sex as an intrinsically dangerous element that has closer associations with disease and money than before.

The Sexual Behavior and Mating Habits of Primates, 2004.
Review of literature regarding the sexual behavior of primates in captivity.

Abstract
This paper examines several research studies on the sexual and mating habits of orangutans, langur monkeys, bonobos and chimpanzees, each of which concluded that the sexual and reproductive behaviors of these primates is abnormal when the animals live in captivity.
From the Paper
"Human researchers have always been deeply fascinated with primate behaviors because they are of much closer genetic relation than any other animals. Likewise, the studies of sexuality and mating social behaviors are of particular interest to people because, within human social structures, this area remains both mysterious and untamed, and at the same time entirely necessary for the survival of human relationships and survival of the species. Parallels that may offer some understanding of our own sexual and mating habits can be found in the observations made of Orangutans, Langur Monkeys, Bonobos, and Chimpanzees by various researchers."

Sexual Behaviour and Alcohol, 2002.
This paper looks at the ways in which the consumption of alcoholic beverages impacts human sexual behaviour.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the resulting behaviour of an over-consumption of alcohol and the existence of this behavior in university and college environments. The author finds that the consumption of alcoholic beverages can result in a decrease in awareness and judgment which can result in a person engaging in an activity which he/she might not have had if not under the influence. The writer looks at the damaging effects of an over-consumption of alcohol when coupled with sexual contact.
From the Paper
"Alcohol also has some serious effects in regards to human sexual behaviour. One of these effects is increased violence, and the increased probability of a sexual assault taking place. This has been a serious problem at most universities and colleges in Canada and the United States. Results from several empirical studies have suggested strong associations between alcohol consumption and sexual aggression on campus (Crowe & George, 1989; Commission on Substance Abuse at Colleges and Universities, 1994). This is a very common trend among the universities and colleges due to the heavy drinking that many of these individuals partake in, and or the illicit drugs that they may be using. In many situations the individual to which the sexual assault has taken place has been coerced under the influence of alcohol and or illegal drugs. In a Miller and Marshall (1987) study, 60% of the women who engaged in unwanted sexual intercourse reported that they had been using alcohol or other drugs when coerced."

Abstract
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..."

Attitude and Behavior in Social Influence, 2002.
A look at how attitude creates a social influence on behavior through psychological association.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will discuss the influence of attitude on behavior in the scope of psychological studies. By showing how the attitude of a person can directly create a social influence on the behavior of the person, we can see how this may be achieved. This study will reveal four general factors that influence when people are or are not likely to behave in ways that are consistent with their attitudes. By understanding this relationship, the idea of social influence can be revealed in this form of psychological association.

Public Sexual Behavior, 1997.
Legal, social, psychological & religious factors affecting acceptance of sexual expression by individuals & couples.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
" The freedom to express sexual behavior in public is subject to considerable social control. Institutions such as the family, church, peers, the media, and government all play roles in defining acceptable displays of affection. The social scripts developed by these institutions dictate the intensity of sexual expression permissable in public.
Sexual behavior can be described on a continuum based on the intensity of intimacy involved. Thus, kissing and necking are viewed as less intense than petting or sexual intercourse. The degree to which sexual activity in public is permitted is largely a function of community legal statutes. As Atkinson (1989) notes, "Almost any sexual behavior a human being could commit is illegal under some state or federal sexual statute" (p. 466). In general, crimes against public decency and morality include.."

From the Paper
"In Sexual Behavior in the Human Male Kinsey and associates (1948) studied sex phenomena of human beings just as a biologist would study biological phenomena. He presented evidence from a scientist's point of view, void of moral bias or prejudice (p. vii). This report will present a summary and critique of the book. It is a report from a nine year case history study regarding all aspects of human sex behavior (pp. 3, 8). An attempt was made to obtain objective facts about sex through first-hand interviews of persons residing in the United States; approximately 12,000 subjects contributed to the study and around 6300 were male. The male data provided information for this publication (female data was to be presented in a future volume.
This volume began with a presentation of information regarding other studies and the concept of interviewing. The ..."
