Unhealthy sexual activity has a profound effect on one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being because there is a chemical release that occurs during orgasm that creates a bond between two people; soul ties are created with each sexual encounter; engaging in early sexual activity fosters unhealthy views; sexual abuse is somewhat common, and it is destructive; pornography and the lack of a father figure results in unhealthy views of one’s self. Exploring the chemical bond reveals that there has been much research in regards to the chemicals released in the brain during sexual activity and the effect that the bonds created during such activity has on one’s whole person health. Dr. Douglas Weiss is a noted expert in the field of sexual addiction and pornography. He has researched the brain and has provided insight into the possibility that a bonding occurs through chemicals released in the brain during sexual activity. A renowned Scientist, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, also researched the idea of conditioning. He determined that a conditioning can occur that teaches the brain to recognize a familiar event or activity that reminds one of a desired feeling. (Wilson 43-44) The theory suggests that the chemical acts like super glue on the soul. The souls are “glued” by the chemical, and it is impossible to separate the two souls without damage. In essence, the studies established that the brain becomes addicted to such behaviors. Learned behaviors lead to such addictions. According to research the brain learns behaviors or is trained. “The pleasure center of the brain is the most easily trained part of the human mind. This place in the brain is called the Medial Pre-optic Nucleus (MPN), and when the body experiences great pleasure,... ... middle of paper ... ...nee, In.: Evangel Press, 1996.

    For a positive future, it is only common sense that a generation of healthy children must be raised. A stable family unit and personal attention seem logical ways to rear successful young people. Yet statistics show that in 2003, approximately 37,000 marriages and 21,000 divorces occurred in Kentucky; other states showed very similar ratios, such as Ohio, with about 73,000 marriages and 40,000 divorces (NVSR, Pg. 6). Clearly, many students already have “broken homes” as obstacles, but the homogenous

    There appears to be widespread agreement that family and home life have been changing dramatically over the last 40 years or so. According to Talcott Parsons, the change in family structure is due to industrialization. The concept that had emerged is a new version of the domestic ideal that encapsulates changed expectations of family relations and housing conditions. The family life in the postwar period was highly affected. The concept of companionate marriage emerged in the post war era just to build a better life and build a future in which marriage would be the foundation of better life. Equality of sexes came into being after...

  • Love and Neurobiology: Not So Strange Bedfellows

    1370 Words  | 3 Pages

    The scientific definition of love is "having stimulation that one desires" (5). Recent research by two British neurologists concludes that love is linked to certain brain activities. By conducting tests using a magnetic resonance imager, the scientists measured brain activity in 17 people while they were viewing a picture of their loved one, and while they were viewing a photo of a friend of the same sex as their lover. When the individuals see the picture of the person they love, clear activity occurs in four regions of the brain that were not active when the image of the friend was present. The media insula, which is responsible for instinctual feelings, and the anterior cingulate, which acts in response to euphoria-inducing drugs, such as cocaine, are the two areas of the cortex stimulated by pictures of a lover. The striatum, that is activated when we are rewarded and the prefrontal cortex also increase their activity when shown the same picture.

  • What is a Sex Addiction?

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sex is a beautiful thing that happens between two people, but sometimes sex can become addictive, and like with any other addiction, it can ruin lives. Patricia is in her mid-thirties, and to those who know her, she is a soccer mom with a successful career. But after her marriage ended due to her husband’s affair, Patricia became insecure, and started exploring dating sites on the internet – soon, Patricia was going on dates, sex dates - and in an interview with the Philadelphia Weekly, she admits that she is addicted to sex, and there is a problem. The American Psychiatric Association and Diagnostic (APAD) and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) don’t recognize the abuse of sex as an addiction. Although not recognize as an addiction, the abuse of sex has the same qualities as drug addiction and should be recognized as a medical condition.

    Over the past decades, the patterns of family structure have changed dramatically in the United States. The typical nuclear family, two married parents with children living together in one household, is no longer the structure of the majority of the families today. The percentage of single-parent families, step-families and adopted families has increased significantly over the years. The nuclear family is a thing of the past. Family situations have tremendous influence upon a child’s academic achievement, behavior and social growth.

  • Psychodynamic Theory

    857 Words  | 2 Pages

    Through case study, the psychodynamic approach was developed by Sigmund Freud. Freud visited Charcot’s, a laboratory in Paris investigating people suffering from hysteria. There, Freud began patient case studies (Crain, p. 254). Freud developed 5 stages of human development known as the Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency and Genital stages. The Oral stage is from the ages of birth to 18 months. This stage engages in oral activities such as sucking. Next the Anal stage begins around age 18 months to 3 years of age. Freud suggests that during the Anal stage a child focuses on the pleasure of purging from the rectal area. The Phallic stages, none as the masturbation stage, when a child get’s pleasure from focusing on his genital areas usually happens during ages 3 years to 6 years of age. After the Phallic stage come the Latency stages. Latency is when children at the ages of 6 to 12 years old work to develop cognitive and interpersonal skills suppressing sexual interests but those 12 years and older fall into the Genital stages. During the Genital stage those suppressed sexual interests re-occur and the need to find gratification dependent on finding a partner (Craig & Dunn, p 12)

  • Male Parental Care: The Evolution Of Male Parental Care

    1434 Words  | 3 Pages

    Female parental care (maternal care) seems to be logical and prevalent in animals than the male parental care (paternal care) and these differences in parental investments by male and female are associated to the differences in their reproductive investments (Trivers, 1972). However, there are many vertebrate species in which males contribute significantly towards parental care (Nunes et al., 2001; Chen et al., 2007). Male parental care seems to be rare in animals having internal fertilisation (Duellman and Trueb, 1994) and is most likely to evolve in species with external fertilisation (Gross and Shine, 1981; Beck, 1998). But there another school of thoughts predicts that evolution of parental care is more dependent on the costs and benefits ration than the mode of fertilisation (Beck, 1998). Apparently, evolution of paternal care depends on a) the mode of fertilization, b) territoriality and c) female mate choice or female fecundity (Ridley, 1978; Gross and Shine,

Nevertheless, compared to other sexual addictions, this could be known as one of the most riskiest and dangerous addiction.
