Abstract
The paper looks at how alcohol consumption enhances (or does not enhance) male sexuality. The paper assesses the response of college-aged males to sexual imagery that is both graphic, violent, and which features homosexual conduct. The paper relates that the final sample group comprises 67 individuals split randomly into two groups who will each watch the same material - but with one group watching while thinking they are consuming an alcoholic beverage while the other group watches without drinking anything except some apple juice they are told is apple juice. The final conclusion of the study is that alcohol - or even the idea one is consuming alcohol - makes people less-inhibited about embracing unconventional sexual activities.

Abstract
"The Sexual Behaviors in the Human Male," Alfred Kinsey's 1948 study of human male sexuality, was considered controversial for its time. This paper discusses the techniques used for gathering data and the validity of the results.
From the Paper
"Kinsey refused to use random sampling because the nature of the questions would make people feel uncomfortable and provide biased answers. The participants of these surveys had to be willing participants and not everyone who is randomly selected would be willing (Bullough 130). Kinsey represented his findings by using the "mean frequency" not the median or the mode. This can be misleading because the mean of data can be dramatically changed by any outliers in his data (Baber 281).
"Kinsey's research findings related to masturbation are shown to be close to accurate when compared to more recent research. Kinsey's research claims that close to 90 percent of all people from all social classes have masturbated (Quarterly review 40). In a study done by Jerrold S. Greenberg and Francis X. Archambault in the 1970s, it was stated that "It will be shown that these data [on masturbation] do agree in some cases by the benchmark data reported by Kinsey." Greenberg and Archambault did there study by using a random sample of 54 people and concluded that 64 percent of these people had masturbated in their lifetime(Greenberg and Archambault 43). It is common knowledge to most statisticians that the larger the sample size, the more representative the data is. Kinsey's claim that 90 percent of all people have masturbated doesn't seem very "far-fetched" when compared to these new findings."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the statistics on male sexual harassment by women and other males in the workplace. The paper reveals that the statistics point to a greater problem of male on male harassment between men in the workplace, but the problems with women also occur within these environments. The paper asserts that the research data needs to be geared toward a gender-neutral type of research, which should present data through an unbiased lens about how men and women behave at work.

Abstract
This paper examines the question of whether male sexual abuse can lead to homosexuality. First, the paper discusses the origins of homosexuality and the relationship between homosexuality and sexual abuse. The paper then examines the problem of sexual abuse itself, where it comes from and who the specific individual predators are. The paper also analyzes the victims and the impact of sexual molestation on their individual behavior and psychology and then examines if any link exists between sexual abuse and later homosexual behavior.
From the Paper
"One of the reasons that this link between male victimization at an early age and homosexuality is so clear is because once sexually active; children tend to define their trauma through renewed sexual experiences. This is a trend that has been seen consistently with female victims who have a tendency to be extremely sexually promiscuous in the wake of sexual abuse (Friedman, 83). This tendency occurs because victims believe that if they have multiple sex partners they would no longer feel the pain associated with their sexual abuse. For male victims this feeling and general inclination also exists. However, having no viable outlets at a young age to engage with heterosexual partners, they tend to turn to a homosexual lifestyle."

Abstract
This paper explain that, in Charles Michael Smith's article 'The Politics of Penis Size (Book Review)', which is a review of Scott Poulson-Bryant's book "Hung: A Meditation on the Measure of Black Men in America", the idea of the black sexual Olympian is ridiculed but Smith fails to avoid making some sweeping generalizations that the available literature cannot substantiate. The author points out, from the literature review to assess this article and book, that the myth about African-American men being "huge" and thus more "man" than Asian or Caucasian men is really a projection of deep-seated fears of inadequacy. The paper argues that, if these fears are addressed, then anxiety about the sexual prowess of black men, on the part of those who are non-black will be replaced by a more holistic view of African-American males that restores to them a measure of their full humanity.

From the Paper
"According to Charles Michael Smith (2006) the penis is one manifestation of masculine power. Smith goes on to state that penis power is male power and that the tallest buildings, the imposing skyscrapers that dot the landscape of the modern western world, are really the ultimate phallic symbols. In short, the penis equates with all that is seen as masculine, virile, powerful, and potent. Smith, in his review of Scott Poulson-Bryant's, "Hung: A Meditation on the Measure of Black Men in America", writes that white slave-holders often justified the brutal treatment of African-American men by seizing upon the desire of the latter to assault and seize for themselves the womanhood of white females."

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 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 summarizes an article based on male voices and the perception of sexual orientation, specifically male homosexuality and the voice characteristics that people attribute to them. The paper discusses a group of people who listen to a number of recorded voices that range from "gay-sounding" to "straight-sounding" and then cross analyze the results by studying the pitch of each voice recorded how it influenced the listeners' response.
From the Paper
"Male Voices and Perceived Sexual Orientation Male Voices and Perceived Sexual Orientation Introduction The background of the research is based on a study that was conducted by three Canadian University Professors who studied the perceptions of male voices in terms of which sound gay and which sound straight. The authors described how they discussed this research topic openly with their students. Their students agreed, "gay men speech mirrors the patterns of stereotypical high-pitched women's voices" (Smyth, Jacobs, & Rogers, 2003, p. 331). The authors developed a gay-sounding and straight-sounding scale based on listener ratings to record and measure the perception of sexual orientation based on a person's voice (Smyth, Jacobs, & Rogers, 2003, p. 329)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although for generations women have been preforming birth control and effective ways of abortion; the practice of abortion has given rise to various social, moral, political and legal issues because abortion is the fulcrum of a much broader ideological struggle in which the very meanings of the family, the state, motherhood and young women's sexuality are contested. The author points out that, though it seems quaint, many individuals today have adopted the idea of celibacy or virginity, the natural method for achieving youth and longevity. The paper relates that rape still is prevalent because of the overcompensating benefits of male reproductive in human evolution history, which has not been eliminated by natural biological selection: women are suffering the consequence of all these atrocities.

From the Paper
"It has been noticed that transvestites who openly reveal their longings and desire, usually have their partner to either completely reject them or to accept them completely. But more often than not, the relationship usually ends. Transvestites feel that cross-dressing does not really affect anyone in any manner. But this is not true as the thought itself is very narcissistic and the entire idea of transvestism is a self-centered behavior. A transvestite at times gets to involved in cross-dressing that the social aspects of the relationship does not really matter to them. They seem to spend a lot of time, energy and money to boost their later ego. Initially, the partner of transvestite will usually find himself derelict that ultimately leads to antipathy and problems in the relationship. It is also common fact that some transvestites actually like to indulge in sex while they are cross-dressed."

Abstract
The paper takes a look at how the relationship between male and female has been a defining constant for mankind and humanity ever since its birth. According to the paper, famous couples have concentrated the entire sex war, the immense complexity of the conflict between sexes, on the way a man and a woman could generate the immense energy that could give birth both to creation and creating processes, cultural, artistic or intellectual, and potential negative, destructive forces, evil and malefic influences.

From the Paper
"As previously mentioned, Frida and Diego's impossibility comes, in my opinion, from their sexual mismatch (despite this does not necessarily advocate a personality mismatch) rather than from a political stance. The political stance here contributes even stronger to sustaining the couple and promoting it on the level of intellectual nearness. Indeed, they are both supporter of Communism and here we are already talking about the mature period of Communist in its fight against the Imperialists (certainly, these are the same imperialists that would have paid Rivera for painting Rockefeller Centre) and the meeting between the couple and Trotsky is defining for the late phase of their relationship."
