  1. Chapter 12 Motivation pt. 2: Sexual Motivation, Belongingness, and Achievement Motivation

  2. Alfred Kinsey • Considered the father of the study of human sexuality for conducting his studies in the 1940’s. • Studies showed that there were wide variations in “normal” sexual practices of individuals and that premarital sex was commonplace.

  3. Criticism of Kinsey’s Studies • 18,000 people • 1940s-1950s • Sample was unrepresentative • Well educated whites • Misleading questions

  4. Sexual Response Cycle • Following Kinsey’s studies, scientists looked to identify typical sexual reactions among volunteers in the 1960’s. • Master and Johnson filmed and identified the sexual response cycle: refers to the four stages of sexual response: • 1. Excitement • 2. Plateau • 3. Orgasm • 4. Resolution

  5. Sexual Response Cycle • 1. Excitement: blood flows to the genital areas causing both sexes’ genitals to enlarge. • 2. Plateau: peak of the excitement phase; breathing increases; penal and vaginal secretions increase. • 3. Orgasm: ejaculation in the male and vaginal contractions in the female. • 4. Resolution phase: body returns to unaroused state. In males, enter refractory period: resting period where they cannot have another orgasm.

  6. Hormones and Sexual Behavior • Certain hormones help activate sexual fertility, putting animals in “heat.” • Females become sexually receptive when estrogen(sex hormone greater in females) peaks during ovulation. • Testosterone levels also effect sex drive in both males and females. • Hormones are monitored by Hypothalamus.

  7. Effect of External Stimuli on Sexual Motivation • Studies have shown that both males and females are both aroused by seeing, hearing, or reading erotic material. • Some psychologists have argued that sexual explicit materials can have negative effects. How?

  8. Sexual Disorders • Sexual Disorders: a problem that consistently impairs sexual arousal or functioning. • In Men: • Premature Ejaculation: ejaculation before they or their partners wish. • Impotence: inability to maintain an erection. • In Women • Orgasmic Disorder: infrequent or never experiencing an orgasm.

  11. Sexual Orientation • Sexual Orientation:an enduring sexual attraction toward members of either one’s own gender (homosexual orientation) or the other gender (heterosexual orientation)

  12. Possible Causes of Homosexuality? • Have found brain differences between heterosexual men and homosexual men and women. Hard to get at causation. • Identical twin brothers, 52% both will be gay. Genes not everything. • Prenatal exposure to certain hormones. • Most psychologists believe that nature more than nurture influences sexual orientation but the answer has not been completely solved.
