Just 40 or 50 years ago teens were very closely monitored by their parents in all aspects of their life. Slowly over time parenting became a hassle and kids became more independent and undisciplined. As this process progressed, kids started turning to their friends and eventually the internet for sexual guidance. Now, parents rarely talk to their kids about sex because “it’s awkward” or “the school will teach them about it”. This leads to teens learning about sex from pornography and other unreliable internet sources, because it’s not cool to talk to their parental figure about their sex life. Often teens will leave their phone laying around and their younger sibling will pick it up and see pornography or other sex related content. This causes kids to know about sex and unrealistic sexual encounters at a younger and younger age. This all leads to kids starting to have sex or start sexual acts at a younger age than most other generations. ]]> 2019-01-17 00:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/321503041 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/323720195 Warning: There are curse words.
A high school male tries to guess random facts about the female anatomy. Surprisingly, he does pretty well for not knowing much about female anatomy. I didn't know some of the answers to the questions that were asked, but I found the questions to cover a wide area of the female sexual anatomy. ]]> 2019-01-23 23:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/323720195 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/328403011 This article discusses some topics that were in our chapter and some things that not many people would know unless they took a sexuality class. Some "facts" they list may not be real facts, but they discuss what they think to be true. The article goes over penis size, realistic sex duration, orgasms, what can be bad for male genitals, and some other interesting topics.]]> 2019-02-06 18:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/328403011 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/331525117 This video talks about previous  studies that have supported the idea that couples should not cohabitate before marriage. They point out that a current study has supported the idea that premarital cohabitation actually does not contribute to divorce BUT the age of the individuals does.]]> 2019-02-14 20:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/331525117 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/336203393 Should you admit to an affair that's over? According to Dr. Victoria Wilson, a clinical psychologist, you should not admit to an affair that is already over unless you believe that your partner already suspects the affair. Dr. Wilson believes that telling a partner about an affair that has already ended will only cause pain and conflict in the relationship. She said that if you are having trouble dealing with guilt and your feelings about having cheated, then you should find a way to deal with your feelings without telling your partner about the affair.

Because she is a clinical psychologist, would you follow her advice? Why/Why not?]]> 2019-02-28 00:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/336203393 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/338158107 A Virtual Initiative for Busy Married Couples
Back in 2015, the Bishop of Arlington named Paul Loverde created a married couple's retreat online. Reverend Loverde posts 15 minute videos for busy married couples to watch to help keep their marriages alive. A couple talks about their experience with the videos.

Have you ever heard of this before?
Do you think this is a good idea for married couples who are very busy? Why/Why not?
Would you try this for your marriage?]]> 2019-03-05 21:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/338158107 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/345893590 Is Homosexuality in Your Genes?
Recently, scientists have found two gene variants that are more common in homosexual men than heterosexual men. This discovery supports the idea that homosexuality is genetic. There were already some chromosome regions that were found to be correlated with homosexuality, but this time researchers found specific genes (not just regions) on the 13th and 14th chromosomes. The video goes into more depth about the genes, what the affect, and how they are correlated to gay men. The video also goes into depth about how there is no research on women's genes being correlated with homosexuality.]]> 2019-03-27 20:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/345893590 cslater120 https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/347893447 After discussing sex disorders in class, I decided to go look deeper into what is out there. Many sex disorders we discussed in class are more likely to be in men than women. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is actually a disorder that is very likely to happen to women. This article discusses what HSDD is, what causes HSDD, if it can be treated, some questions to ask yourself to see if you may have HSDD, and what kids of treatments may be used to help treat HSDD. What I found to be most fascinating is the pill that doctors can give women with HSDD to help increase their sexual desire. Do you think that this is just a way to make women want sex more/be more pleasurable to their husbands? Why or why not?]]> 2019-04-03 02:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cslater120/psy340/wish/347893447
