Optimal Sex Kleinplatz et al. conducted research on what exactly optimal sex consists of. They expressed that at the present time, there is a lack of knowledge on this topic, beside everybody on the big screen is able to have optimal sex. Optimal sex is defined by Kleinplatz et al. as “what is beyond functional, beyond positive and satisfactory, beyond good” (2009, p.1); they further expressed that is of higher quality and a higher form of good sex (Kleinplatz et al., 2009, p.1). The hypothesis presented by Kleinplatz et al. stated the reasoning behind the research was to understand optimal sex to benefit individuals hoping to achieve optimal sex with their partner, and clinics trying to help patients as well (Kleinplatz et al., 2009, p.2). The initial study, implemented in 2005, surveyed thirty people, who proclaimed they have “great sex”; the initial finding of these thirty people found six different components of optimal sexuality. With their follow up study, …show more content…
The list starts with number ten, and appears to be in descending order, i.e. number ten is good, number five would be better, and number one is the best. At the top of the list is to blindfold her; by doing this it provides her other senses better awareness, and in turn, providing her with a better sexual experience. Giving her instructions is number nine. This does not necessarily mean to tell her what to do, but learn what works and what does not in the sexual relationship. One of the most relaxing, and also one of the most sexual things one can do for their partner is giving them a sensual massage (Leigh), and due to this information, massage is number eight. Seven consists of having her dress up and acting or pretending to be someone, or something, different (role playing). Sharing fantasies with her is number six; use of imagination and “keeping it sexy” (Leigh) is a fun game that can heighten sexual
Masters and Johnson were a pioneering team in the field of human sexuality, both in the domains of research and therapy. William Howell Masters, a gynecologist, was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1915. Virginia Eshelman Johnson, a psychologist, was born in Springfield, Montana in 1925. To fully appreciate their contribution, it is necessary to see their work in historic context. In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey and his co-workers, responding to a request by female students at Indiana University for more information on human sexual behavior, published the book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. They followed this five years later with Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. These books began a revolution in social awareness of and public attention given to human sexuality. At the time, public morality severely restricted open discussion of sexuality as a human characteristic, and specific sexual practices, especially sexual behaviors that did not lead to procreation. Kinsey's books, which among other things reported findings on the frequency of various sexual practices including homosexuality, caused a furor. Some people felt that the study of sexual behavior would undermine the family structure and damage American society. It was in this climate - one of incipient efforts to break through the denial of human sexuality and considerable resistance to these efforts - that Masters and Johnson began their work. Their primary contribution has been to help define sexuality as a healthy human trait and the experience of great pleasure and deep intimacy during sex as socially acceptable goals. As a physician interested in the nature of sexuality and the sexual experience, William Masters wanted to conduct research that would lead to an objective understanding of these topics. In 1957, he hired Virgina Johnson as a research assistant to begin this research issue. Together they developed polygraph-like instruments that were designed to measure human sexual response. Using these tools, Masters and Johnson initiated a project that ultimately included direct laboratory observation and measurement of 700 men and women while they were having intercourse or masturbating. Based on the data collected in this study, they co-authored the book Human Sexual Response in 1966. In this book, they identify and describe four phases in the human sexual response cycle : excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. By this point in time, the generally repressive attitude toward sexuality was beginning to lift and the book found a ready audience.
As part of the assessing Female Orgasmic Disorder the clinician asks clients and/or couples to participate in the sexual status examination this is when the client will describe a typical sexual scenario. With the scenario given by the client, the clinician is able to get an idea on what questions to ask and what areas she can go more in depth with client problems. By the author gathering this information she is able to create a treatment plan. Gathering any type of history is very important

Sex education or Sexuality Education is described by Kunwar and Yudav (2011) as an education that tackles about the different aspects of sexuality such as human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, human sexual behavior and, etc. It seeks to decrease the possible negative effects on human sexual behavior such as teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases; it also seeks to amend the quality of relationships. This shows that the broader concept of human sexuality will be taught in sex education, aiming to give awareness and deeper understanding of these concepts. This term is also given a definition by Fontanilla (2003) as an instructional tool in helping and forming wholesome demeanors, values, and practices in
THERE’s much more to sex than the genitals, seeing someone bare or even the most common goal of sex – an orgasm. Sex experts will tell you that sex is intimacy; it is opening yourselves to spiritual mingling, exposing and exploring your sexual desires. But these are sometimes hindered by social constructions of sexual behaviour – the taboos, the myths and misinformation can sometimes make something as natural as sex very complex.

Traditionally, sex was to happen after couples got married and the main purpose for reproduction of the human race. With time sex has evolved into today’s culture with the act of a “hookup,” which represents a marked shift in openness and acceptance of uncommitted sex that collaborates with physical and sexual attractions. Even though sex has become acceptably casual within society there are still those who value the meaning of sex and can only express it with one person because they both feel the same way emotionally. An regardless sex will always create a beautiful creation.

The endeavor to reach a state of sexual mastery requires psychological motivation, education, and implementation of specific physical skills.

Sex before marriage is very often a touchy subject. However, I feel that sex before marriage is a very important subject that is not brought up and talked about enough. There are many different viewpoints brought to the table when talking about this particular subject. The standards of society are constantly changing. One sign of this change is that nowadays many young adults seem to be open to premarital sex. Although I have heard many good arguments from people both pro- and anti- sex before marriage, I have yet to change my stance on this matter. In my opinion, having sexual intercourse before getting married is absolutely a bad tendency in our society.
