| | Sex - Uncyclopedia |
| | Sex (from the Latin for "painful", sexus) is like a troll hunt, where the villagers (the men) must carry their pitchforks and brandish their torches as they make their way deep into the forest to bring the troll out of hiding. | | | Another form of sex is to engage in monkey-spanking. | | | The most common kind of sex is found on message boards, where posters bolster their ego by flirting with board members whom they believe to be of the opposite sex (or the same sex, if they are preverted). |

| | Talking With kids: Sex |
| | Teaching your children about sex demands a gentle, continuous flow of information that should begin as early as possible -- for instance, when teaching your toddler where his nose and toes are, include "this is your penis" or "this is your vagina" in your talks. | | | Studies show that kids who feel they can talk with their parents about sex -- because their moms and dads speak openly and listen carefully to them -- are less likely to engage in high-risk behavior as teens than kids who do not feel they can talk with their parents about the subject. | | | By discussing the emotional aspect of a sexual relationship with your child, she will be better informed to make decisions later on and to resist peer pressure. |

| | USATODAY.com - Teens define sex in new ways |
| | Though the study provides data, researchers say, it doesn't help them understand the role oral sex plays in the overall relationship; nor does it explain the fact that today's teens are changing the sequence of sexual behaviors so that oral sex has skipped ahead of intercourse. | | | But relationships that are focused more on sex tend to be "less sustained, often not monogamous and with lower levels of satisfaction." | | | Sex — even oral sex — "just becomes kind of a recreational activity that is separate from a close, personal relationship," he says. |

| | Sex During Pregnancy |
| | If you're pregnant or even planning a pregnancy, you've probably found an abundance of information about sex before pregnancy (that is, having sex in order to conceive) and sex after childbirth (general consensus: expect a less active sex life when there's a newborn in the house). | | | You should not have sex with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have a sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, or HIV. | | | You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable. |

| | Sex assignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Criteria for assignment in these cases have evolved over the decades, as our understanding of the biological factors and our diagnostic tests have improved, as surgical techniques have changed and potential complications have become clearer, and in response to the outcomes and opinions of adults who have grown up with various intersex conditions. | | | However, the usual act of assignment carries with it some conscious and unconscious assumptions, namely that the external genitalia reflect other aspects of biological sex, such as internal anatomy, gonads, hormones, and chromosomes. | | | The act of assignment usually carries the implicit expectation that future gender identity will develop in the gender of anatomy, assignment, and rearing. |

| | Gender role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When an individual exhibits a gender role that is discordant with his or her gender identity, it is most often done to deliberately provoke a sense of incongruity and a humorous reaction to the attempts of a person of one sex to pass himself or herself off as a member of the opposite sex. | | | Transsexualism also exists, where a person who is born as one sex and is brought up in that sex, but has gender identity of the opposite sex and wishes to live and does live according to the gender roles associated with that sex. | | | Biological conditions that cause a person's physiological sex to be not easily determined are collectively known as intersex. |

| | Sexual differentiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Because we cannot explore hormonal influences on human reproductive behavior experimentally, and because potential political implications are so unwelcome to many factions of society, the relative contributions of biological factors and learning to human psychological and behavioral sex differences (especially gender identity, role, and orientation) remain unsettled and controversial. | | | The relationship of biological factors to more advanced and more specifically human aspects of differentiation, and especially the ways and degrees by which social and environmental influences contribute to psychological and behavioral differentiation, is less well understood and a common subject of political controversy. | | | Structural sex differences begin to be recognizable by 2 years of age, and in adult men and women include size and shape of corpus callosum and certain hypothalamic nuclei, and the gonadotropin feedback response to estradiol. |

| | The therapist brings about a reversal of roles: the sessions and the relationship are no longer about the therapist being of use to the patient in service of the patient's welfare but rather the patient being of use to the therapist in service of the therapist's sexual gratification. | | | It is the therapist who is licensed by the state in recognition of the need to protect patients from unethical, unscrupulous, and harmful practices, and it is the licensing boards and regulations that clearly charge therapists with refraining from this form of behavior that can place patients at risk for pervasive harm. | | | Beyond investing therapists with trust regarding their own privacy, confidentiality, and "secrets," patients trust therapists to act in a way consistent with patient well-fare and to avoid intentionally engaging in any behavior that not only is unethical and prohibited by law but also places the patient at so needless a risk for harm. |
