Introduction / Summary (Feb 2009): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. The video provides a good introduction which we think you will enjoy!
While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it).
About this Philosophy Website on Truth and Reality: We are listed as one of the top Philosophy Websites on the Internet with around 300,000 page views each week. The central thesis of philosophy is that we must know the truth to act wisely and truth is founded on a correct understanding of physical reality. Clearly people have a strong sexual instinct due to our evolution and survival as a species. However, our planet faces many serious environmental problems, thus our survival now depends on a true understanding of our place in nature, as a way of better protecting life on earth. Truth and reality are beautiful subjects which are profoundly important to our future survival - they are the source of wisdom, the foundation for everything you see and experience in the universe!
Sincerely,
Karene Jade Howie
P. S. I would really like these pages to be fantastic, so please comment / rate this page or suggest content!

Quotes from 'The Story of V: A Natural History of Female Sexuality' by Catherine Blackledge
'In
modern medical terminology, 'cervix' is understood as meaning the short,
thick tube of smooth muscle which surrounds the narrow channel (the endocervical
canal) which leads from the vagina through to the uterus. The lower end
of the cervix dips into the vaginal chamber, and is called the external
os (opening, or mouth), while the upper uterine end of the cervix is known
as the internal os. The intimate connection between the cervix and the uterus
is highlighted in the full title of the cervix, the cervix uteri, which
means the neck of the womb or neck of the uterus.' (Blackledge, p. 64, 2004)
'Curiously though, the word cervix does not mean neck. Collum is the Latin for neck. The source of the word cervix lies, surreally, in the curving, cresent-shaped horns of many mammals. And curiously, although this horn meaning was somehow lost in human anatomical vocabulary, it survives today in animal physiology. A cervid is any ruminary mammal of the class Cervidae, mammals that are characterised by the presence of horns or antlers.' (Blackledge, p. 64, 2004)
'The conception of the Fallopian tubes as horns of the uterus is easily understood. A look at any modern illustration of a woman's uterus reveals the source of the idea. Fallopian tubes do trace a graceful horn-like curve, and are positioned in conjunction with the uterus in such a way that it's not too fanciful to see them as mirroring the horns and antlers of deer or bulls.' (Blackledge, p. 65, 2004)
Evolution, Human Reproduction & Fertilization: Sperm, the Penis & Cervix
A very interesting essay from the journal of Evolutionary Psychology on evolutionary strategies in humans for successful fertilization.
From the essay: 'Magnetic resonance imaging studies show that during coitus, the typical penis fills and expands the human vagina, and with complete penetration often pushes up against the cervix. When ejaculation occurs, thrusting diminishes and vaginal penetration reaches its maximum point (Masters and Johnson, 1966). Not only does this serve to release semen in close proximity to the cervix, but data on ejaculatory pressure shows that the first several ejaculatory contractions project seminal fluid with such force that it can be expelled at a distance of 30-60cm if not contained in a vagina (Masters and Johnson, 1966). Thus, there appear to have been a series of adaptations that serve to confine or focus the release of semen to the uppermost portion of the vaginal tract, possibly as a means of making it less vulnerable to displacement by other males. A longer penis would not only have been an advantage for leaving semen in a less accessible part of the vagina, but by filling and expanding the vagina it also would aid and abet the displacement of semen left by other males as a means of maximizing the likelihood of paternity.'

Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)

The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres of cultural life. ... Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society, nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms.
