SHORT ANSWER
1. Describe how the upright posture of our early human ancestors played a role in the evolution of human
sexuality.
ANS:
Our ancestors began walking upright more than three million years ago. this evolution changed forever
the way the human species engaged in sexual intercourse. the upright posture of the female resulted in
the possibility of face-to-face intercourse. With more body area in contact, the female clitoris is much
more easily stimulated. only in human females does orgasm seem to be an important part of sexual
contact.
ANS:
Egyptians had sexual lives that do not seem all that different from the way humans engage in sex
throughout the world today. although the Egyptians condemned adultery, it may still have been fairly
common and women had the right to divorce husbands. Egyptians seem to have invented male
circumcision, and Egyptian workers left behind thousands of pictures, carvings, and even cartoons of
erotic scenes.
ANS:
Honor crimes occur most frequently where female chastity is of utmost importance, including the
places like Middle East and South Asia. The crimes target women whose actions, whether actual or
suspected, violate the honor of her family. It can include things like speaking to someone who you
should not speak with, losing one’s virginity, wearing inappropriate clothing, or even saying something
that they are not supposed to talk about.

4. Describe the influences of the early founders of the Christian religion on the attitudes of Christian
people toward sexuality.
ANS:
St. Paul and other founders of the religion condemned sexuality in a way found in neither Hebrew nor
Greek thought—nor anywhere in the teachings of Jesus. All sex outside of marriage was considered
sinful. Chastity was a virtue, and celibacy, or abstaining from sexual intercourse, was a sign of
holiness (Bergmann, 1987). The result was that the average Christian associated the pleasure of
sexuality with guilt (stark, 1996). Thomas Aquinas’s strong condemnation of sexuality—and especially
homosexuality, which he called the worst of all sexual sins—set the tone for Christian attitudes toward
sexuality for many centuries.
5. Identify the key departures of Protestantism from Catholicism regarding views of sexuality and
marriage.
ANS:
Instead of valuing celibacy, Protestants saw in the Bible the obligation to reproduce, saw marital love
as blessed, and considered sexuality a natural function of marriage. Protestantism broke away from the
Catholic Church’s forbiddance of divorce; however, it did accept the belief that women are weaker
than men and should humble themselves before their fathers and husbands.
6. Describe how settlers throughout early American history used the sexuality of minorities as an excuse
to disdain or oppress them.
Full file at https://testbanku.eu/
ANS:
Native Americans had their own cultural system of sexual morality; nonetheless, they were branded as
savages for their acceptance of premarital sex and their practice of polygamy, which existed primarily
because of the large number of males killed in war. Native Americans were freely raped by white men
(D’Emilio & Freedman, 1988). Mexicans, who were religious Catholics with strict sexual rules, were
considered promiscuous by the Protestants because they did not consider it wrong to dance or show
affection in public. The settlers often criticized others for sexual behaviors, such as homosexuality and
premarital sex, that were not uncommon in their own communities.
7. Describe the strong campaign against prejudice and discrimination that swept the country following
Stonewall.
ANS:
Groups and businesses hostile to gays were picketed, legislators were lobbied, committees and self-
help groups were founded, legal agencies were formed, and educational groups tried to change the
image of homosexuality in America. For example, in 1973, strong gay lobbying caused the American
Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM),
the official reference of psychiatric disorders. The DSM change removed the last scientific justification
for treating homosexuals any differently from other citizens and demonstrated the new national power
of the movement for homosexual rights. Soon the gay movement was a powerful presence in the
United States, Canada, Australia, and Western Europe (Adam, 1987).
8. If you ask a biological theorist why a woman is not able to orgasm, what might she suggest?
ANS:
If you ask a biological theorist why a woman is not able to orgasm, she would most likely suggest that
physical issues, such as anatomy or hormones, or even vascular issues, should be considered. With
regard to treatment, a biological theorist would advise physical tests or blood work to evaluate the
causes.
ANS:
Before puberty (between the ages of 6-12), the child passes through the latency stage, and sexual
interest goes underground. During this stage, little boys often think little girls have “cooties” (and vice
versa), and childhood play primarily exists in same-sex groups.
ANS:
Many problems in sexuality research are more difficult to navigate than in other types of research.
Problems and issues that sexuality researchers must confront include ethical issues, volunteer bias,
sampling problems, and reliability issues.
