Sexuality Psychology – Basic Studies Of Human Sexuality by Jeff Carter
Today, many people especially the adults are having a difficult time establishing the true meaning of human sexuality to the younger generations. More often than not, parents and guardians find it challenging to prepare children for adulthood specifically in terms of human sexuality education. As mature as one may be, human sexuality has been a complex issue as it involves various aspects and interpretations.
The general culture in the past has been infused with respect for essential values in order to protect as well as maintain the family regardless if sexual education was provided. For the significant part of society in both developed and developing countries, traditional models of sexual education had declined through the years. Most of the younger generations have been deprived of sufficient knowledge and consistent guidance on human sexuality and left unprepared for adult life.
These days, various contexts of human sexuality have emerged from the society and the mass media, providing misinterpreted and depersonalized information. Most of the information is insufficient with regard to the different stages of formation and progress of children and young people. In addition, the information on human sexuality today is predisposed with a misleading concept of freedom in a world that lacks fundamental values of human love, family, and life.

Here is a short sample from the book:
According to most common definitions of human sexuality, it is the ability of an individual to have sensual responses and experiences. Based on this definition, human sexuality may implicate an individual’s sexual attraction to another depending on sexual orientation. A person’s sexual orientation may be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual. Heterosexuality involves attraction to the opposite sex; homosexuality involves attraction to the same sex; bisexuality involves attraction to the opposite sex and same sex; and asexuality involves no attraction to anyone sexually.
Human sexuality can affect an individual’s cultural, legal, philosophical, and political views. It can create an impact on different aspects of life including ethics, religion, spirituality, morality, and theology. In fact, there have been some cases where a number of cultures have been discerned as repressive in terms of sexuality.
More often than not, the interest of an individual in human sexuality is triggered during puberty. In this stage, most people become curious in sexual activity. According to some studies on human sexuality, an individual’s sexual behavior is asserted by genetics while other studies claim that it is based on the environment. This long-standing debate of nature versus nurture has provided various contexts of human sexuality. Based on the concept of nature, human sexuality is determined by behavioral traits, which are innate characteristics in an individual. These characteristics include drives, urges, and instincts. On the other hand, the concept of nurture claims that human sexuality is determined by external stimuli or environmental factors, which affects an individual’s emotions, thinking, and behavior.
Apart from the concepts of nature and nurture, evolutionary perspectives also create another context on human sexuality. The evolutionary perspectives include the theories of sexual strategies and social learning on human reproduction and/or coupling. They also include socio-cultural aspects of human sexuality, which include religious beliefs and historical progressions. Recently, evolutionary perspectives have included human identity within social groups, birth control methods, and sexually transmitted diseases such as STIs and STDs.
There are certain innate characteristics in humans that determine their sexuality; however, these characteristics may be altered through physical and social interactions within the environment. The concept of nature claims that human sexuality is determined by genetics while the concept of nurture claims that it is determined by mental activity.
On the other hand, there are some theorists who claim that human sexuality is determined by both the normative characteristics and the cultural, social, environment, and educational characteristics of an individual, which all affect the sexual drive. The sexual drive creates an impact on the personal identity development of an individual along with various social interactions and activities.

The Horny Heart? by Paula Jacobsson
Show me ONE person who doesn’t want to have an amazing and breathtaking sex life! Not that everybody considers sex to be the most important factor in life, but when we do engage in sexual activities we want to experience the stuff that rocks our world and leaves us lying in bed spent and happy with a silly grin on our faces. I know I do. But, how do we go about it? Well, as far as I have understood the majority go out to buy some new spicy underwear, a sex toy or two, watch porn together or something to that effect. In many cases that might help to put some zing back into the relationship for a short while, but the effect doesn’t last and instead of rushing back to the store for some more supplies they need to turn back inwards, towards their relationship. The media feeds us with a zillion different outfits, looks, toys and porn-inspired scenarios to make us believe that’s what’s missing. They couldn’t be more wrong because the most important factor to a fulfilling and awe-inspiring sex life is….wait for it: INTIMACY. Read that again. Intimacy. Some say you can read this word as: In-to-me-see. And that’s just it. When you relate to someone intimately, you know them deep down, you can read their eyes and gestures for an update on the mood right now, you know their dreams, innermost needs and wishes, there is absolutely no end to the possibilities and dimensions that you can experience together. This doesn’t mean that every sexual encounter need be an earth moving experience; sometimes it’s ok with the wham-bam-variety. Why doesn’t intimacy sell? Well, it takes time. There is no quick-fix and we live in an age where instant gratification is key. On the other hand many also recognize that these quick-fixes leave us with a feeling of emptiness. Porn shows us a warped version of “reality” by presenting always-ready-to-go-solutions where all the participants at all times are a hundred percent focused on sex and nothing else. Newflash! Nobody in the real world lives or functions like that. If they’re emotionally healthy that is. If you want to settle for porn, that’s your choice, but be aware that you are settling for something that can never be anything but a cheap and sadly lacking copy of the real thing. You have this extraordinary possibility of really living, right here, right now, don’t sell yourself short. So, instead of spending precious time on running around trying to find the aphrodisiac that is missing in a sex shop or on the internet, spend time together with your partner, as well as with yourself, make an effort to get to know each other better, listen attentively, tell each other about vulnerabilities, needs, sorrows, joys and dreams. In fact use every waking moment together to find out something more about your partner, look at it as an adventure, a treasure to be excavated, lovingly. The book “The Horny Heart?” is an outspoken, inspirational, easy-going but still serious reminder that we need to make conscious choices in order to have the fantastic and enriching experiences we all dream of.

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
