 | | Sexual selection depends on the success of certain individuals over others of the same sex, in relation to the propagation of the species; while natural selection depends on the success of both sexes, at all ages, in relation to the general conditions of life. | | | Malte Andersson's (1994) book entitled Sexual Selection is a fantastic source of information about the theoretical and empirical support for various hypotheses about mate choice. | | | The runaway process will eventually halt when there is no longer genetic variation for further trait or preference exaggeration or when the viability costs of the trait balance sexual selection. |

| | sexual relationship - a relationship involving sexual intimacy | | | relationship - a relation between people; (`relationship' is often used where `relation' would serve, as in `the relationship between inflation and unemployment', but the preferred usage of `relationship' is for human relations or states of relatedness); "the relationship between mothers and their children" | | | To explain the conditions of that relationship we must first establish a conception of the expression of will, referring it to man and not to the Deity. |

| | Female Sexual Selection |
| | Sexual selection depends on the success of certain individuals over others of the same sex, in relation to the general conditions of life. | | | Whereas natural selection and male competition tend to produce convergent evolution onto rather mundane, pragmatic adaptations, sexual selection through female choice tends to produce divergent evolution that explores all the extreme corners of the vast space of beautiful morphologies and charming behaviors. | | | Rather, sexual selection through mate choice is a process equal in importance to natural selection to the external environment. |

| | That some relation exists between polygamy and the development of secondary sexual characters, appears nearly certain; and this supports the view that a numerical preponderance of males would be eminently favourable to the action of sexual selection. | | | Besides the primary and secondary sexual differences, such as the foregoing, the males and females of some animals differ in structures related to different habits of life, and not at all, or only indirectly, to the reproductive functions. | | | Our difficulty in regard to sexual selection lies in understanding how it is that the males which conquer other males, or those which prove the most attractive to the females, leave a greater number of offspring to inherit their superiority than their beaten and less attractive rivals. |

| | Sexual selection depends on the success of certain individuals over others of the same sex, in relation to the propagation of the species; while natural selection depends on the success of both sexes, at all ages, in relation to the general conditions of life. | | | The sciences of evolutionary psychology and sociobiology study the influence of sexual selection in humans, though this is often a controversial field. | | | Because traits held to be due to sexual selection often conflict with the survival fitness of the individual, the question then arises as to why, in nature, in which survival of the fittest is considered the rule of thumb, such apparent liabilities are allowed to persist. |

| | Why We're Gendered Beings...Theological Refelections on Sexual Identity by Gary W. Deddo, Ph.D. |
| | Relations between persons of the same gender cannot image in their sexual attraction or in any sexual behavior [8] the differentiation essential to the marital relations of a man and woman. | | | The point is that although these may also be present, they are operative despite the sexual dimension of the relationship, and dont in the least alter the moral/spiritual meaninglessness of any behavior involving the sex organs or the erotic feelings which desire such involvement. | | | Homosexuality then de-sexualizes and depersonalizes the partner by regarding their gender as morally and spiritual irrelevant.[9] The sexual dimension of the relationship is rendered a spiritually meaningless act.[10] The act is referred to as sexual only because the organs used are called sex organs. |

| | Sexual morality was an attempt to transform a genetic need into a personal relation. | | | We surround the sexual act with constraints and interdictions that are in no way dictated by the species, precisely so as to focus our thoughts and desires on the free being, rather than the bodily mechanism. | | | Each of us, he believes, acts in obedience to a strategy built in to our genes, which seek their own perpetuity through our sexual behavior. |

| | In Masters and Johnson's original research of the human sexual response cycle, orgasm is the third of four stages, occurring after the plateau phase and before the resolution phase. | | | Orgasm is the sudden discharge of accumulated sexual tension resulting in rhythmic muscular contractions in the pelvic region that produce intensely pleasurable sensations followed by rapid relaxation. | | | Orgasm is also in part a psychological experience of pleasure and abandon, when the mind is focused solely on the personal experience. |

| | First of all, these theologians all give the impression that Pope Gregory is speaking about sexual pleasure in relation to moderate marital sexual intercourse, but Pope Gregory is actually speaking about sexual pleasure in relation to "immoderate" marital sexual intercourse. | | | Thus Pope Gregory is not criticizing the mere presence of pleasure in moderate marital sexual intercourse, rather he is criticizing the act of making pleasure the "primary" purpose in marital sexual intercourse by means of "immoderate" copulation ("et cum immoderatae admixtioni servientes propagantionis articulum in usum transferunt voluptatis"). | | | Secondly, all three theologians claim that Pope Gregory states that by the presence of this sexual pleasure in intercourse "the married couple have transgressed the law of marriage." But Pope Gregory actually states about the married couple that by making sexual pleasure the primary purpose of intercourse ". |

| | Per-versions are sexual activities which either extend, in an anatomical sense, beyond the regions of the body that are designed for sexual union, or linger over the intermediate relations to the sexual object which should normally be traversed rapidly on the path towards the final sexual aim. | | | It is concluded that the whole of the sexual currents have become directed towards a single person in relation to whom they seek to achieve their aims, this then being the closest approximation possible in childhood to the final form taken by sexual life after puberty. | | | The theory of psychical hermaphroditism presupposes that the sexual object of an invert is the opposite of that of a normal person. |
