Sexual desire disorders stem from a person interests and want for sexual desire. There are too main types of sexual desire orders. There is Hypoactive Sexual Desire which is when a person how low interest or drive to engage in sexual acts. Hypoactive Sexual Desire can be caused by many factors ranging from ones physical attributes such as hormones to past sexual encounters to relationship and trust issues. There are a vast amount of factors that can cause Hyporactive Sexual Disorder. This disorder can also stem from a perceived perception that one will or has not met the level of desire they wish they could (David, F. H., Fertel, E. R., Singh, D., Fernandez, F., & al, e.) The most common treatment for Hyproactive Sexual Disorder is though a sex therapist. The second form of Sexual desire disorders is Sexual Aversion Desire which according to Lori A.

Sexuality is very diverse, in some instances normality is based on the cultural context of the individual 's society. In "The other side of desire" by Daniel Bergner, the author goes in depth into the lives of four individual 's whose lust and longing have led them far down the realms of desire. The current paper addresses the four individual 's Jacob, the Baroness, Roy, and Ron each exhibits a paraphilia that may or may not meet the full criteria in the DSM-5. Furthermore, each person’s specific paraphilia is conceptualized and explained in depth. Countertransferential issues anticipated before working with these individuals is analyzed and clarified. Also, the apprehension of sexual arousal and sexual behaviors is conceptualized into normality
Before the war started, European countries felt a force pushing them towards war. As these feelings started to rise the Great Powers of Europe started to form alliances. The first alliance consisted of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary they called themselves the Triple Alliances. The second alliance consisted of France, Britain, and Russia and they called themselves the Triple Entente. International tensions start to build up between the European countries. Each country trying to prove itself as more superior compared to the other countries. An increase in nationalism within certain countries. During the war, countries created new weapons and increased technological advancement. Such creations included rapid machine gun, artillery gun, aircraft, tanks, poison gas, u-boats, etc.
The next main cause for the war was that there was a large amount of overwhelming nationalism coming in abundance from both sides. Germany (the Germanic Empire at that point) was one of the most nationalistic countries. They would teach children from around 1st grade all the way to the point where they could enlist in the war that there is nothing more honorable or...

The reason I am writing this paper is to share the information I attained about human sexuality by learning about sexuality in a college setting and by exploring my sexuality through personal experiences. I do not consider myself to have experienced much exposure to sexual behavior but I do have a cultural bias to what I consider a heavy amount of exposure because the North American culture is considered more promiscuous and sexually active than other cultures.
Medicalization describes the shift in authority concerning abnormal human conditions. Quirks previously seen as by-products of maturation began to see heavy examination and were classified under medical terms. As a result, the past few decades have seen an obscene number of compulsions and disorders deemed medical conditions, further exacerbating the unnecessary institutionalization of many harmless irregularities. This string coincides with the growing popularity of sex addiction and the debate over its inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The mere thought of such a neurotic desire potentially joining the DSM alongside major mental and learning disorders epitomizes the depths to which society has sunk in recognition of truly straining abnormalities.

World War I is easily one of the deadliest wars the world has ever seen. Millions of military associates and civilians were left injured, and even more, dead. The war took place within the four years of 1914 to 1918. In 1914, when a Serbian nationalist assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, tensions had triggered in Europ. Austro-Hungary had then invaded Serbia; which then set of the start of a major world conflict. The war ended with an armistice on 11:11 on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the signing of the Versailles Treaty in 1918 and an Allied victory. Although it still remains a mystery to what the initial cause for WWI was, three important factors were definitely the alliance systems, imperialism and militarism.

We expect the results of this study to agree with our hypothesis. After comparing the scores for all three measures for both men and women, we expect to see a decrease in the desire for sexual variety for men in all three measures and no change in sexual variety for women after close relationships. According to the research presented at the beginning of this proposal, we have found that men and women do differ in their desire for sexual variety, but because they share similarities in their relationship values, men are affected by close relationships.

Ros Boa, A practitioner of Sexual Medicine defines female sexual pain has “prevalent and distressing for patients.” Boa concentrates on sexual pain or Vaginismus in women despite age, race, and ethnicity. According to the article of “Female sexual pain disorders,” female dysfunction is anything that intervenes with the sexual response cycle. A problem such as ‘pain’ prevents the individual from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity due to involuntary muscle spasm that closes off any form of penetration by the tampon, speculum, or the male penis.
In 2004, one researcher claimed that “in both sexual aversion disorder and HSDD, there usually is or was a sexual orientation toward partners of either or both genders, but there is either an aversion for genital contact with these partners (e.g., extreme anxiety when a sexual encounter presents itself) or a low sexual desire for these partners. Sexual aversion disorder and HSDD issues often arise within the context of couples—as, for example, when a ‘discrepancy of sexual desire’ is diagnosed. Asexuality, in contrast, can be defined as the absence of a traditional sexual orientation, in which an individual would exhibit little or no sexual attraction to males or females” (Bogeart, “Asexuality: Prevalence” 1). Ignoring the problematic adherence to the gender binary, this distinction does not provide for asexuals who may experience romantic attraction (commonly mistaken by both asexuals and non-asexuals as sexual attraction), but not
