Title: Chapter 04 Question 02

2. Discuss differences in the refractory period of males and females.

Feedback: Males usually experience a refractory period, which can last from a few minutes to days. The length of time depends on many factors, such as age (younger men have shorter refractory periods than older men do) and frequency of previous sexual activity (the less frequent, the shorter the refractory period). Females, on the other hand, do not have a refractory period and can more readily experience multiple orgasms. Masters and Johnson (1966) found that orgasms that occur in close succession to one another do not differ physiologically from one another, although the second and subsequent ones typically require less stimulation than the first.

Title: Chapter 04 Question 04

4. Describe the arguments of those who are for and against male circumcision.

Feedback: Proponents of routine circumcision have documented health benefits including the following: a decrease in the incidence of infant and childhood urinary tract infections, a decrease in some sexually transmitted infections (including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS), a decrease in the incidence of adult penile cancer, and a decrease in genital wart infections (Dickerman, 2007). In addition, circumcision can prevent or correct a painful condition called phimosis, in which the penile foreskin is too tight to retract. Other proponents support it because of religious doctrine.

Those who oppose routine circumcision, however, indicate that the procedure entails a number of risks, including hemorrhage, infection, shock, penile mutilation, and psychological trauma; in rare cases, death can also occur. In addition, the procedure is painful. Male infants circumcised without anesthetic were found to exhibit heightened pain responses to vaccinations four to six months post-circumcision.

5. What are three explanations for the presence of pubic hair on humans?

Feedback: First, pubic hair is believed to play a role in sexual communication through pheromonal signalling, by helping to dissipate volatile compounds (Pagel & Bodmer, 2003). Second, it is assumed to provide protective padding during the friction of intercourse (Ramsey, Sweeney, Fraser, & Oades, 2009). Third, it visually signals sexual maturity. Despite these functions, women have been removing their pubic hair since at least the times of ancient Egypt and Greece, when a lack of pubic hair was likely considered sexually attractive.

6. Why is the hymen sometimes considered to be a controversial topic?

Feedback: The hymen and its rupture at first intercourse are a controversial topic. In some cultures that condemn coital sex before marriage, the presence of an intact hymen has been taken as sole evidence of virginity, over and above the word of the woman. As such, some future husbands insist on a pelvic examination to "prove" the woman's virginity before marriage. In some countries, some women seek hymenoplasty, or hymen reconstruction surgery, to hide the fact they no longer have an intact hymen.

Title: Chapter 04 Question 07

7. How does age affect sexual response in males and females?

Feedback: In general, sexual response decreases with age. Arousal takes longer and the intensity of all aspects of one's sexual response is dampened. In females, the amount of vaginal lubrication is reduced and the walls of the vagina become less flexible. In males, erections take longer to occur and require more stimulation, and the degree of firmness is less than it is in younger males.
