THE MOST CONVENIENT ISSUE-SEXUALITY IN THE WORLD: (I)

So, what role will sex play in the new millennium? Our world psychologist, describe the most likely scenario based on research studies, surveys and trends. "Sex is everywhere. Women have sex with women, men have sex with men, women have sex with men--and sometimes the best sex is with oneself."

In homo sapiens, reasoning and reflection have played the greatest role in encouraging sexual selection. This selection occurs in two obvious, time-honoured ways: the choice of males by females and the choice of females by males. Thus each gender, as it were, would help shape the sexual behaviour of the other, stimulating the opposite sex to evolve in the image of its own tastes, its own sexual ideal.

Today, as women become equals to men in all walks of life and even competitors to them, the scenario has changed, dotted by environmental and cultural diversity in sexual patterns and sex appeal, the latter assuming diverse forms and groupings. For humans, sex is not only for reproduction, but a mechanism for enjoyment--both psychic and erotic. Fashion trends, which are becoming more individualistic, flamboyant and sexy, will play an increasing role in sexual appeal and sexual encounters. The media has an even more significant influence. Television, movies and magazines with a high sexual content, for instance, will increasingly provide a source for sexual stimulation and experimentation.
WOMAN- First of all knows woman and her beauty in the words of most famous Hindi poet of Shri Bihari:
Kagaj par likhat na banat, kahat sandasu lajat
Kahihe sab tero hiyo, mere hiy ki bat.
Nahi parag nahi madhur madhu nahi vikasu ehin kal
Ali kali he so bandhyo, aage kon haval. (For Raja Man Singh on another marriage)
Likhan bethi jaki sabi, gahi gahi garab garur,
Bhaye na kete jagat ke, chatur chitere koor.
Laune muhon daithi na lage yon kahi deeno ethi,
doori have lagan lagi, diyo dithona dithi.
Patra hi tithi paiye wa ghar ke chahun pass,
Nit prati punyo hi rahau aanan oy ujas.

Love, relationship, men and women: Genders attitude about sexuality:

Every human being is different. Most men like women. Most women like men. But there are men who like men and there are women who like women. Then there are men and women who are sexually attracted to both men and women. There are men out there who feel they are trapped in male bodies and that they are actually women. There are women who feel just the opposite. At one time, such men and women were considered 'abnormal', 'deviant' and 'perverse'.
Now, medical research has come to the conclusion that a whole range of sexual desires and behaviours exist in both the human and animal world. It is okay to be homosexual or bisexual or transsexual. Problems arise only when society discriminates and penalizes a person with non-conventional sexual orientations.

Sex can be wonderful. But if indulged in irresponsibly, it could lead to problems. Like unplanned pregnancy. Or even AIDS. The colours of life may begin to fade as your middle age approaches. The spirit of the youth may have melted in the burden and responsibilities to family, society, job and children. During this time without your awareness one more important aspect of life will also begin to decay. That is nothing but your interest in sexual life and the physical attraction to your partner.

Our feelings on sexuality- by Jeanna Bryner
Bachelors might have sex on their minds more than their single female counterparts, but once in a committed relationship, men and women have similar attitudes toward the act, a new study finds. The April issue of the journal Sex Roles, reveal how sexual stereotypes, in which guys want to go for it and gals tend to resist, don’t hold when romantic feelings come into play.
“Men’s experience in our society to have sex with a number of different partners,” “the opposite of what women experience as kind of the gatekeepers of sexuality.” Paul Perrin, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Florida. The scientists point out that compared with women men are more sexually permissive, endorse casual sex at higher rates and masturbate more often. And even in dreamland, men are from Mars and women from Venus.
Spin Factor
Tom Tiegs of UF and Perrin, surveyed 208 women and 131 men in an introductory psychology course and rated 160 statements on a scale ranging regarding their sexual behaviors and attitudes which divided in to into four categories.
In category 1- Personally and physically pleasurable,”
I should get drunk to enhance my sexual experience.
If I want to be close to someone, I should have sex.
I should have sex with my partner so he/she will not leave me.
I should have sex with as many people as possible.
In category 2- Beneficial in creating positive feelings about oneself,”
Sex makes my partner love me.
I feel attractive after sex.
I trust my partner more after sex.
In category 3- Personally costly in terms of having negative emotional, psychological or physical consequences,”
Sex makes me feel guilty for violating my morals.
God will punish me for having sex.
Having a one-night stand makes me feel cheap.
I will get an STD by having sex.
In category 4- A violation of social injunctions,"
I should engage in premarital sex.
I should be with my partner a long time before I have sex.
I should not have sex because I’m too attached to someone I’m having sex with.
Fact- Women placed more emphasis on the emotional aspects of sex, men focused more on the physical side of sex. Men were much more likely to find sex personally and physically pleasurable, while women were more likely to think sex violates social taboos. Men gave much higher ratings for risky sexual behaviors, such as “I should have sex with as many people as possible,” than women were more apt to endorse waiting longer and not engaging in premarital sex. Therefore, in an intimate relationship, both genders expressed that sex was important as a way to bring couples closer, to help maintain healthy relationships and to increase one’s self confidence.
History of Sex by Heather Whipps, report to Live Science
Birds do it, bees do it, humans since the dawn of time have done it. It has always offered pleasure. The time has changed and the act has also changed with the millennia. "Just as our bodies tell us what we might like to eat, or when we should go to sleep, they lay down for us our pattern of lust," says University of Toronto psychologist Edward Shorter.
Are humans doing it more? Are we doing it better? How people fess up to the truth about their sex lives that has changed the most over the years.
Hard wired
Sexuality has a lot to do with our biological framework. "People and indeed all animals are hard wired to seek out sex and to continue to do so," They engage in it as a biological imperative." Joann Rodgers, director of media relations. "To be sure, what people actually experience is always a mixture of biological and social conditioning: Desire surges from the body, the mind interprets what society will accept and what not, and the rest of the signals are edited out by culture,” Flesh: A History of Desire".
Modern advances
Many historians and psychologists see the late 1800s as a kind of watershed period for sexuality in the Western world. With the industrial revolution pushing more and more people together—literally—in dense, culturally-mixed neighborhoods, attitudes towards sex became more liberal.
The liberalization of sexuality kicked into high gear by the 1960s with the advent of the birth control pill, letting women get in on the fun and act on the basis of desire as men always had, (Shorter). This unhesitant willingness to grab sex for the sheer sake of physical pleasure," he said, noting that the trend of openly seeking out sex just because it feels good, rather than for procreation alone
Global variations and Freedom
Despite the modern tendency, there are vast differences in attitudes across the world. "Cultures vary tremendously in how early they start having sex, how open they are about it, and how many sexual partners they have," said Buss,
A global sex survey-2005 sponsored by the condom company Durex - Just 3 percent of Americans polled called their sex lives "monotonous," compared to a sizable 26 percent of Indian respondents. While 53 percent of Norwegians wanted more sex than they were having (a respectable 98 times per year, on average), 81 percent of the Portuguese were quite happy with their national quota of 108 times per year.
The Rules of Attraction in the Game of Love- by Bjorn Carey, LiveScience Staff Writer:
To figure out how we pick mates, scientists have measured every shape and angle of the human face, studied the symmetry of dancers, crafted formulas from the measurements of Playboy models, and had both men and women rank attractiveness based on smelling armpit sweat.
A short list of scientific rules for the game of love is emerging. Some are as clearly defined as the prominent, feminine eyes of a supermodel or the desirable hips of a well-built man. Other rules work at the subconscious level, motivating us to action for evolutionary reasons that are tucked inside clouds of infatuation. In the end, lasting love depends at least as much on behavior as biology. But the first moves are made before you're even born.
Conception- the human body develops by neatly splitting cells. If every division were to go perfectly, the result would be a baby whose left and right sides are mirror images. But nature doesn't work that way. Genetic mutations and environmental pressures skew symmetry, and the results have lifelong implications. Good symmetry shows that an individual has the genetic goods to survive development, is healthy, and is a good and fertile choice for mating.
"It makes sense to use symmetry variation in mate choice. "If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and reproduce with them, your offspring will have a better chance of being symmetric and able to deal with perturbations," said evolutionary biologist Randy Thornhill of the University of New Mexico.
Thornhill has been studying symmetry for 15 years and scanned faces and bodies into computers to determine symmetry ratios. Both men and women rated symmetrical members of the opposite sex as more attractive and in better health than their less symmetrical counterparts.
He also found that men with higher degrees of symmetry enjoy more sexual partners than men of lower symmetry. "Women's sex-partner numbers are dependent on things other than attractiveness,"
Body shape- Psychologist Devendra Singh of the University of Texas studied people's waist-to-hip ratio (WHR).
Women with a WHR of 0.7—indicating a waist significantly narrower than the hips—are most desirable to men. In general, a range of 0.67 to 1.18 in females is attractive to men, Singh concluded in a 2004 study, while a 0.8 to 1.0 WHR in men is attractive to women, although having broad shoulders is more of a turn-on.
People in the ideal hip-ratio range, regardless of weight, are less susceptible to disease such as cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and diabetes, studies have shown. Women in this range also have less difficulty conceiving. "The idea is that beauty is conveying information about health and fertility, and we admire that,"
Face structure gives insight to fertility.
Estrogen caps bone growth in a woman's lower face and chin, making them relatively small and short, as well as the brow, allowing for her eyes to appear prominent. Men's faces are shaped by testosterone, which helps develop a larger lower face and jaw and a prominent brow.
Men and women possessing these traits are seen as attractive, symmetrical dancers are seen as more attractive. The women found the scent of a symmetrical man to be more attractive and desirable, especially if the woman was menstruating.

Request-Dear friends read care fully don’t mind it, I am not like this but feel more about our society, generation activities so write this on the basis of researchers report and experience of the persons in the world. Please comment on this issue more as you know with your experience without any doubts. Further I will do work on another topic ………like this. Thanks. (alg.nsingh.ad@hotmail.com).
