sexual (6do encyclopedia)



Sexual intercourse is a biological activity that includes the insertion of the erect penis into the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person. This action can be performed for various reasons, including procreation, pleasure, or intimacy. While sexual intercourse is typically associated with heterosexual couples, it can also occur among same-sex couples and within other consensual sexual relationships.

The act of sexual intercourse can be broken down into four distinct phases: arousal, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. During the arousal phase, the body prepares for sexual activity by increasing blood flow to the genitals, and individuals may experience changes in heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension. In the plateau phase, sexual tension continues to build as the individual’s body approaches orgasm.

Orgasm marks the peak of sexual pleasure and can be achieved through a variety of methods, including penetration, oral stimulation, or other forms of manual or digital stimulation. During orgasm, the body releases a rush of hormones, including oxytocin and dopamine, which contribute to feelings of pleasure and bonding.

Finally, during the resolution phase, the body returns to a state of relaxation as sexual arousal subsides. While the act of sexual intercourse is highly pleasurable for many individuals, it can also carry some risks, including the spread of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.

In order to reduce these risks and promote healthy sexual behavior, individuals are advised to use barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, during sexual activity. Additionally, regular testing for sexually transmitted infections and open communication with sexual partners can help promote safer and more enjoyable sexual experiences.

While sexual intercourse is a natural and healthy part of many people’s lives, it is important to recognize and respect the boundaries and preferences of each individual involved. Consent is a critical component of any sexual encounter, and all parties should feel comfortable and able to communicate their desires and boundaries with one another.

Ultimately, the act of sexual intercourse is a complex and multifaceted experience that can vary widely among individuals and couples. By prioritizing safety, communication, and respect, individuals can enjoy healthy and fulfilling sexual experiences while minimizing the risks.

Sex? Intercourse? ‘Sneaky link’? US teens weigh in on changing terms, habits

South China Morning Post

23-05-12 20:00


New national surveys indicate that American teenagers are having less sexual intercourse than in previous years, as researchers have found that the rates of US high school students having sex have fallen from previous levels. Researchers link part of this trend to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as young people in the US increasingly turned to online sources during the pandemic. While the CDC has been conducting research on these trends for the past three decades, the language of young love and the expressions behind it are evolving, leading some experts to question whether these surveys are adequately up-to-date, as the surveys do not encompass all the nuances of sexual activity today. Experts cited examples such as high school hookup culture or “situationships,” gender fluidity, relationships among spiritually and sexually diverse youth, and access to online pornography, which are all areas of sexual activity which are not adequately being captured by national surveys.

Military referred 93 sexual offence cases to civilian police, 64 under investigation

The Toronto Star

23-05-12 19:15


The Canadian military has referred 93 cases of criminal sexual offences to civilian police since December 2021, with 64 of them under investigation. The move follows an independent report's recommendation to remove jurisdiction over the issue from military police, made after a series of sexual misconduct scandals. However, 29 cases that were passed to federal, provincial or municipal police forces were declined, with some forces complaining about the additional strain on their resources. Another 97 cases reported to the military police service were not passed on. There are concerns that the military's justice system is not equipped to handle these cases.

A former correctional officer at a California federal women's prison where inmates say they were subjected to rampant sexual abuse has been arrested and accused of abusing three inmates in his care. Darrell Wayne Smith is at least the sixth employee at the Dublin prison charged with abusing inmates, whose reports led to increased scrutiny from Congress and pledges from the Federal Bureau of Prisons that it would fix problems and change the culture at the prison. The bureau has launched new training for prison wardens and created specialized teams aimed at curtailing sexual abuse in federal prisons.

Spiking as bad as stabbing, warns ‘unashamedly edgy’ consent campaign

A new campaign by the Consent Coalition aims to tackle the issue of drug-spiking by highlighting that it is "serious crime" and "like choosing to knife someone." The Night-time A-Z of Consent campaign has launched in Nottingham to coincide with the re-opening of the city’s night-time economy. The scheme will see buses and trams adorned with 26 words related to night-time sexual consent, ranging from I for Intervene to G for Groping, to educate the city on consent and respect, and give people the tools they need to intervene safely and effectively as 'active bystanders.'

Ex-Labour MP Paul Clark jailed over child abuse images

Former UK Labour MP Paul Clark has been sentenced to 28 months in prison for making and distributing indecent images of children. Clark, who held the Gillingham seat from 1997 to 2010, was caught with 1,446 images, some of children as young as three. “Examination of the electronic devices revealed chatlogs in which Clark discussed his sexual desires, distributed indecent images of children to others for their sexual gratification and used social media to identify and talk to users under the age of 18,” stated prosecutor Catrin Attwell. The court was told that there was no evidence any of Clark’s offending took place while he was in office.

Sexual harasser should not receive one cent in defamation case: Pauline Hanson

The Sydney Morning Herald

23-05-16 05:23


Former Australian senator Brian Burston has won a defamation payout over accusations of sexual abuse and physical assault made by fellow politician Pauline Hanson. However, Hanson is seeking to overturn the $250,000 damages order, arguing that Burston should never have been awarded a cent as the allegations of sexual harassment, not abuse, were proven in court. During the trial, it was found that Burston had sexually propositioned a member of staff by saying “I can come around to your place. No one would need to know. It will be the best f--- you’ve ever had”.

Beijing LGBT Center closes its doors, a blow for diversity in China

Washington Post

23-05-16 07:43


The Beijing LGBT Center has ceased operations, potentially marking a blow to China’s LGBTQ+ movement. Despite being officially illegal, it remained active for 15 years through offering services including counseling and fun runs, and campaigning against conversion therapy. It has been suggested that the closure was prompted by the Chinese government’s ongoing crackdown on civil society. In contrast, Taiwan on Tuesday passed an amendment allowing unmarried couples, including those of the same gender, to legally adopt children unrelated to them. Taiwan also legalised same-sex marriage in 2019, with China in contrast denying the LGBT+ community several key rights.

Guess What? Mem Fox children’s book banned in Florida as ‘pornography’

The Sydney Morning Herald

23-05-16 05:55


The Florida county of Duval has banned Australian author Mem Fox's Guess What? because a picture of main character Daisy O'Grady taking a bath has been deemed pornographic. The book joins a host of LGBTQIA+ or culturally diverse-themed books that have been removed from school libraries in the state. The banning has come as a result of legislation enacted in 2022 that many Florida schools believe could lead to prison sentences. Although books must be "age appropriate" and "free of pornography", what constitutes both "appropriate" and "pornography" remains unclear in the legislation.

The Independent

Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and former lawyer to Donald Trump, has been hit by a $10m sexual assault and harassment lawsuit from a former aide. In a civil complaint filed with the Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, former employee Noelle Dunphy alleges that she began working for Mr Giuliani in January 2019 as an off-the-books business development director and public relations consultant, thereafter being sexually abused, regularly pestered for sex, drinking to excess, and being subjected to racial rants. Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Mr Giuliani, denied the allegations, stating: “Mayor Giuliani’s lifetime of public service speaks for itself and he will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims.” Giuliani has faced personal and professional criticism recently, and this lawsuit is just another complication occurring during his career.

Reports of rapes by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary have emerged in Sudan, following the outbreak of war last month. The accounts have been shared widely on social media, as the internet has hampered other forms of communication. Although the stories have yet to be independently verified, they suggest a pattern of increasingly indiscriminate attacks on women, frequently in front of family members. Professionals such as doctors and psychologists have provided support to survivors, providing phone numbers and other information relating to emotional and physical care. The UN has said there are “critical shortages” in the supply of items for raped women.

Why we can’t name the high-profile man charged with rape

The Sydney Morning Herald

23-05-17 01:24


Media outlets and members of the public are prohibited from naming an unnamed rape suspect in Queensland, Australia, because of Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act. The act states that anyone charged with rape, attempted rape, assault with intent to commit rape, and other sexual offences cannot be identified publicly until a magistrate has decided there is enough evidence available for a trial and has referred the matter to the district or supreme court. The defendant has been charged with rape over an alleged incident in October 2021. A coalition of media organisations had earlier appealed for the man’s identification to be revealed on grounds of public interest.

Six surprising reasons sex helps you live longer

Telegraph

23-05-17 08:00


A recent study in Japan found that men who expressed a strong sexual interest had a lower mortality risk than those who reported a lack of sexual interest. Sexual activity has been linked to a number of other health benefits, such as an enhanced immune system and memory, a reduction of migraines and arthritis pain, a lower likelihood of heart problems, and potentially even a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Intimacy in general can also have positive effects on hormone levels, such as increased production of oxytocin and decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

A former IT worker has had her sexual harassment case against her "rich and powerful" boss thrown out by an employment tribunal in central London. Karina Gasparova, who worked as a project manager at the paperless documents firm essDOCS, had claimed that an email from her boss Aleksander Goulandris marked with "xx" was code for a sexual invitation. She also argued that a file renaming incident was an acronym for "A Jumbo Genital". Ms Gasparova's case was dismissed, with the tribunal ruling she had a "skewed perception of everyday events". Ms Gasparova was also ordered to pay £5,000 costs.
