Sexuality Research

A detailed Summary of Sexuality Research

The article, "Adolescent Sexuality, Pregnancy, and Parenthood", was about peoples attitudes and behaviors on sex. There was a survey done of 697 students from 20 schools in Missouri indicated they had not has sex. The factor's scores differed by gender, grades, alcohol consumption, family structure, father's education, and urbanicity.Their most frequent reasons for not having sex were related to fears of pregnancy and disease, including human immune-deficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). The least frequent reasons were related to problems concerning the cost and availability of birth control and protection. The results of the survey pointed three broad reasons that adolescents perceive they have not engaged in sexual behavior: fear, confusion, and religion.The impact of family planning on women's lives in the district of Bamako, Mali, Fifty-five first-time users of contraceptives were interviewed in October 19996.High portions have hidden their use of birth control method from their husbands.They want to gain and hide their methods of family planning and to keep their use secret from their spouses and other marital relatives. They thought their husbands would become aware of their use is if they have

menstrual disruption. Contraception appears to be a valuable resource, permitting women to improve their economic and social status.In the long term, the underlying causes of men's objection to contraceptive use need to be addressed so as to facilitate communication and joint decision making about the family planning.

Not everyone is afraid to have sex either. There are a lot of diseases out there and there are some that are afraid of having sex, but there are some who don't really care much. Prostitutes are an example of ones that don't seem to care if they get a disease. That is why there are so many diseases in the world today, because of people going out and having sex, whether they know they have the disease or not. I also think some go out and have sex to be a rebel. But that isn't always the case. I feel it's just an excuse to why they keep having sex all the time. They should go and see a psychiatrist then.In order to have the research to be legitimized, they would need to have more studies done on each factor. They are not very accurate, and they shouldn't write articles and assume things when they aren't even 100 percent sure themselves.Some of the information given seems slightly accurate. Maybe about 50 percent accurate. People do fear sex, just because so many diseases are out in the world.Things are very different then they used
