The sex information of younger boys.

Abstract

ATA are presented in this report concerning: (I) the nature of the sex in-D formation of 291 pre-adolescent and early adolescent boys; (2) ages a t which the information was acquired;(3) sources of information; (4) the sex vocabularies of these boys. The data are drawn from the complete sex histories of these boys. All of the histories were obtained by personal interview. Ages ranged from 10 to 20 years, although 85 per cent of the population ranged from 12 to 16 years of age. Five of the boys were Negro and 286 were white. Approximately 75 per cent of the group was Protestant, 7 per cent Catholic, 3 per cent Jewish, and 15 per

Evolutionary changes in the physiological control of mating behavior in mammals.

“…Comparable behavior occurs in human children in free social situations. Although the sexual play of children in Western cultures is severely restricted (82,89), it is well known that under less rigorous repression young boys and girls will indulge in coital mimicry involving nearly all of the elements of adult copulatory performance (73).…”

The Perceived Need to be Hot: an Investigation of the Relationship Between Belief in Sexual Stereotypes and Erectile Dysfunction in Gay Men Using Thermal Imaging

“…Nonetheless, some research suggests that the presence of anxiety has no effect on erectile function, and may actually increase erectile function (e.g., Beck & Barlow, 1984). For example, increases in sexual arousal have been found in response to threats of knives and other weapons in the event of an absence of a sexual response (Sarrel & Masters, 1982), as well as during imaginary exposures to threats including being chased by the police, being threatened with punishment, and accidents (Ramsey, 1943). Similarly, in an investigation of sexually functional men, participants experienced an increase in physiological arousal after having been told they would receive an electric shock if their erection was not adequately rigid ).…”

Show me the data! Empirical support for the “centerfold syndrome”.

“…Young males in the United States found ways to access adult content well before the Internet made such acquisitions elementary, however. As illustration, early research by Ramsey (1943aRamsey ( , 1943b showed that it was not uncommon to find that boys' first sexual arousal occurred as a result of exposure to nude females in magazines or films. Similarly, a study of approximately 600 high school students found that males had already read about 16 adult magazines (Bryant, 1985).…”
