Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

On the Health Benefits of Sex
To paraphrase a great old slogan for Guinness beer: Sex isn’t just
good, it’s good for you! The evidence is accumulating that the more
sex you have, the better off you are.
Some potential benefits of sex are: easing depression and stress, relieving
pain, boosting cardio health, countering prostate cancer, healing wounds
and fighting aging.

Cultural Myths About Male Sexuality
From the website: 'The myths regarding male sexuality have been particularly
tenacious because men have traditionally not talked about their sexual feelings
and experiences honestly and openly with each other. Our culture has perpetuated
these myths and makes it difficult for men to admit to any lack of knowledge
or experience, and this has lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy
for many men.
There have been positive signs recently that this is changing. The men's
movement is beginning to redefine what it means to be a man, and qualities
of gentleness, caring, and vulnerability are becoming more valued. More
men are beginning to discuss their sexuality more openly, and this can only
benefit both the men themselves and their partners.
Myths debunked include penis size, that men are always willing and want sex, very few men are virgins, sex requires an erection, sex is over when a man comes, all orgasms are earth shattering, men in relationships don't masturbate.'

Aging in Men: Decrease in Sexual Arousal & Activity
From the essay: 'Few studies have assessed the role of pituitary and gonadal
hormones on age related changes in sexual behavior in healthy men. We conducted
an evaluation of sexual function and behavior in 77 healthy married men
aged 45 to 74 years. The subjects were studied in the sleep laboratory for
four nights with the last night devoted to sequential blood sampling every
20 minutes.
Significant age related decreases in sexual desire, sexual arousal and activity,
and increases in erectile problems were noted. Aging was negatively correlated
with bioavailable testosterone (bT), was positively correlated with luteinizing
hormone (LH), and was not related to total testosterone, estradiol, and
prolactin.
There was no evidence that changes in circulating hormones contribute to
erectile disorders in healthy aging men.'

The Easy Erection: Sexologists Experiment with Viagra
An interesting essay written by two sexologists who experiment with Viagra.
They are concerned that the emotional or psychological aspects of erectile
dysfunction (stress, anxiety, disconnection from partner, lack of communication)
are not being addressed by doctors prescribing Viagra (which helps the physical
ailment).
Note: It is very difficult to prove that sexual disorders are physical or
psychological. They are an interconnected mix of both.

Australian Study of Sexual Health and Relationships
The Australian Study of Health and Relationships surveyed the sexual health
behaviours of Australians. The sample consisted of 10,000 men and 9,000

The study found the age of first sexual intercourse has been declining for
the last fifty years, the age of getting married is rising, sexually transmissible
infections appear relatively common, people who identify as gay, lesbian
or bisexual is small, but those reporting a homosexual experience is considerable
greater.

Alfred Kinsey on Male Homosexuality
'The data indicates that at least 37% of the male population has some
homosexual experience between the beginning of adolescence and old age.
Among the males who remain unmarried until the age of 35, almost 50 % have
had a homosexual experience.
It is true that there are persons in the population whose histories are
exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual. But the record shows
that there is a considerable portion of the population whose members have
combined both homosexual and heterosexual experience.'

Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable. ... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
