Females are considered the “fundamental”
sex that is, without such chemical
prompting, all fertilized eggs would develop
into females. To become a male, an
individual must be exposed to the cascade
of factors initiated by a single gene on the
male Y chromosome. This is called the SRY
(Sex determining Region of the Y
chromosome). Because females do not have
Y chromosome, they do not have the SRY
gene. Without a function SRY gene, an
individual will be female.
Different sex steroid hormone concentrations between the sexes also contribute to
the development and function of secondary sexual characteristics.
Development of the Secondary Sexual Characteristics:
Are vital for the continuation of any species. One of the
primary tasks for most living organisms is reproduction.
Erogenous Zones
• Breast and Nipples – Female breasts can
obviously play an important role in breastfeeding,
but breast and nipple play on anyone can also set
off the fireworks of sexual excitement.
• Mouth and Lips – Science says
we speak kiss because it floods
the body with natural feel-good
chemicals like dopamine,
oxytocin, and serotonin.
• Neck – We sometimes refer to
the hairs on the back of our neck
standing up, and there’s a
reason for that.
• Ear – The ear bone is connected
to the neck bone.
The famous lab studies done by William Masters and Virginia Johnson
documented the social response cycle in men and women. Our sexual
response progresses through four stages:
Refers to a person’s physical, romantic, and/or
emotional attraction towards other people. Sexual
orientation is distinct from gender identity.
Lesbian women and gay men are attracted to
individuals of the same sex and/or gender identity as
themselves.
Bisexual people may be attracted to individuals with
the same or different sex and or gender identity.
Cisgender means having a
gender identity that
matches one’s assigned
sex,
Queer is an umbrella term
which is commonly used to
define lesbian, gay, bi,
trans, and other people and
institutions on the margins
of mainstream culture.
Intersex people are born
with physical or biological
sex characteristics
(including sexual
anatomy, reproductive
organs, and/or
chromosomal patterns)
that do not fit the
traditional definitions of
male or female.
or sexually infections (STIs) – are generally
acquired by social contact. The organism
bacteria viruses or parasites that cause sexually
transmitted disease may pass from person to
person in blood semen or vaginal and
unreliable fluids.
Symptoms – Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) can have a range
of signs and symptoms, including no symptoms.
Signs and symptoms that may indicate an STI include:
• Sores or bumps on the • Pain during sex
genitals or in the oral rectal • Sore, swollen lymph nodes,
area particularly in the groin but
• Painful or burning urination sometimes more widespread
• Discharge from the penis • Lower abdominal pain
• Unusual or odd smelling • Fever
vagina discharge • Rash over the trunk, hands, or
• Unusual vaginal bleeding feet
In choosing a method on contraception, dual protection from the
stimulation risk for HIV and other STDs also should be considered.
Reversible Methods of Birth
Control
• Intrauterine Contraception
Levonorgestrel intrauterine
system (LNG IUD) – it is small T-
shaped device like a Copper T IUD.
It is placed inside the uterus by a
doctor.
Copper T intrauterine
device (IUD) – This are
you using small device
that is shaped in the
form of a “T”. your
doctor places it inside
the uterus to prevent
pregnancy you can
stay in your uterus for
up to 10 years.
• Hormonal Methods
Implant – The implant is a
single, thin rod that is
inserted under the skin of the
women’s upper arm. The rod
contains a progestin that is
released into the body over
three years.
Injection or “shot” –women
get shots of hormone
progestin in the buttocks or
arm every three months for
the doctor.
Combine oral contraceptives -
also called “the pill”,
combined oral contraceptives
contain the hormones estrogen
and progestin. It is prescribed
by a doctor.
Progestin-only pill – Unlike
the combined pill, the
progestin-only pill (sometimes
called the mini pill) only has
one hormone, progestin,
instead of both estrogen and
progestin.
Patch - This skin patch is
worn on the lower abdomen,
buttocks, or upper body (but
not on the breast). This
method is prescribed by a
doctor.
Hormonal vaginal
contraceptive ring - the ring
releases the hormones
progestin and estrogen. You
place the ring on your
vagina.
• Barrier methods
Diaphragm or cervical cap -
each of these barrier
methods are placed inside
the vagina to cover the
cervix to block sperm. the
diaphragm is shaped like a
shallow cup.
Sponge - the contraceptive
sponge contains and is
placed through the vagina
where it fits over the cervix.
Male condom - worn by the man, a male condom keeps
sperm from getting into a woman’s body.
Female condom - worn by the woman, the female condom
helps keeps sperm from getting into her body. It is packed
with a lubricant and is available at drug stores.
Spermicides - these
products work by
killing sperm and
come in several forms-
foam, gel, cream, film,
Suppository, or tablet.
they are placed in the
vagina no more than
one hour before
intercourse.
• Fertility
Awareness-Based
Methods -
Understanding your
monthly fertility
pattern external
icon can help you
plan to get
pregnant or avoid
getting pregnant.
• Locational amenorrhea method for women who have
recently had a baby and are breastfeeding, the
Locational amenorrhea method (LAM) can be used as
birth control when three conditions are met:
1)amenorrhea (not having any menstruation periods after
delivering a baby),
2)fully or nearly fully breastfeeding, and
3)less than six months after delivering a baby. LAM is
temporarily a method of birth control, and another birth
control method must be used when any of the three
conditions are not met.
Emergency contraception is not a regular method
of birth control. emergency contraception can be
used after no birth control is used during sex, or if
the birth control method failed, such as if a condom
broke.
Copper IUD - women can have the copper T IUD
inserted within five days of unprotected sex.
Emergency contraceptive pills - women can take
emergency contraceptive pills up to five days after
unprotected sex, but the sooner the pills are taken,
the better they will work.
• Permanent Methods of Birth Control
Female Sterilization - Tubal ligation or “tying tubes” - A woman can
have her fallopian tubes tied (or closed) so that the storm and eggs cannot
meet for fertilization.
Male Sterilization – Vasectomy - This operation is done to keep a man's
sperm from going to his penis, so his ejaculate never has any sperm in it
that can fertilize an egg.
