Introduction / Summary (Nov 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!

Study on the Importance of Sex for a Healthy Life
To paraphrase a great old slogan for Guinness beer: Sex isn't just good, it’s good for you! The evidence is accumulating that the more sex you have, the better off you are. While researchers are trying to nail down the impact of sex on overall health;
'We do not have good data to show a direct connection to all-around good health. We know that healthier people have more sexual activity. But we do not know which comes first. Does the good health make you more willing to have sex, or does the sex have a positive impact?' (Jennifer Bass, Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction in Bloomington, Ind.)
Data is mounting when it comes to some specifics. The assumed health benefits of sex are generally thought to accrue to people in loving, monogamous relationships or those engaging in solo practice. Risky sex with lots of partners will probably do more harm than good. Here are several potential benefits of sex:
1. Easing depression and stress
'The release from orgasm does much to calm people. It helps with sleep, and that is whether we talk about solo sex or sex with a partner.' (Jennifer Bass)
A recent study of college students at the State University of New York in Albany suggests that semen acts as an antidepressant. Females in the study who were having sex without condoms had fewer signs of depression than women who used condoms or abstained from sex.
'These data are consistent with the possibility that semen may antagonize depressive symptoms and evidence which shows that the vagina absorbs a number of components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within a few hours of administration.'
2. Relieving pain
Orgasm is a powerful pain-killer. Oxytocin, a natural chemical in the body
that surges before and during climax, gets some of the credit, along with
a couple of other compounds like endorphins.
According to a study by Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University
and a famed sexologist and author, when women masturbated to orgasm 'the
pain tolerance threshold and pain detection threshold increased significantly
by 74.6 percent and 106.7 percent respectively.'
3. Boosting cardio health
It’s possible that male cum can lower blood pressure. Another recent study found that women who gave their men oral sex, and swallowed, had a lower risk of preeclampsia, the dangerously high blood pressure that sometimes accompanies pregnancy.
'The present study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is correlated with a diminished occurrence of preeclampsia,' said the Dutch authors.
There have been other studies showing that sex lowers blood pressure, and
might even protect against strokes because of its stress-relieving ability.
But when we think of sex and the cardio system, we tend to think of poor
old Nelson Rockefeller having a heart attack in flagrante delicto. Well,
not only does that hardly ever happen, but sex might actually protect the
heart. A 2002 report from a large British population of men said 'some protection
from fatal coronary events may be an added bonus' of frequent sexual intercourse.
4. Countering prostate cancer
Over the past few years, several journals have published studies showing that the more ejaculations the better.
'High ejaculation frequency is related to decreased risk of total prostate cancer.' (The Journal of the American Medical Association)
5. Healing wounds
Some evidence suggests sex can be rejuvenating to the point of helping wounds to heal faster. Several experiments have shown that oxytocin can help even stubborn sores, like those suffered by diabetics, to heal by regenerating certain cells.
6. Fighting aging
Maybe it’s the rejuvenation, maybe the happiness, maybe all of the
above. One thing’s for sure: 'Use it or lose it' is literally true.
For example, postmenopausal women often suffer from 'vaginal atrophy,' which
is what it sounds like and can lead to all sorts of complications like urinary
tract infections. What's one way to prevent it? More intercourse.
Sex is a form of exercise, after all, and like all exercise, it burns calories
and can help battle the onslaught of the years.
Can sex really make you live longer? Maybe. In the same population of British
men cited earlier, researchers found a 50 percent reduction in overall mortality
in the group of men who said they had the most orgasms. There was a dose
response: the more orgasms, the better.
Of course, as Kinsey's Jennifer Bass reminds us, it could be that these
blokes were just healthier and felt like having sex more often. But since
there's no evidence that lots of sex is bad for you, what have you got to
lose?
Not Just Good
but Good for You: A Study on the Importance of Sex for a Healthy Life

Whats in Semen: Spit or Swallow?
Obviously, semen contains spermatozoa, but sperm accounts for only a small
percentage of spunk. Cum is 90% seminal fluid, which is composed of dozens
of chemical components. The base of seminal fluid is primarily fructose
(sugar) and proteins, with many other trace minerals and substances.
Healthy semen (from a well nourished, disease free male) may in fact be
not only safe to eat, but actually good for you. Semen is a source of highly
concentrated, high-quality protein amd also contains high concentrations
of some minerals, such as zinc, and trace amounts of calcium and magnesium.

Health & Relationship Benefits of Masturbation
Masturbation
can be a very satisfying substitute for sexual intercourse which relieves
tension, exercises the body, stimulates the imagination, and keeps the sexual
capacities alive. It can help people to learn about their genitals, sexuality
and pleasure.
It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to higher self esteem. Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other, in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.
Both from the standpoint of avoiding unwanted pregnancy and that of avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, masturbation is the safest of sexual practices. There is no credible scientific or medical evidence that manual masturbation is damaging to either one's mental or physical health. In fact, studies show that men have a lower rate of prostate cancer if they ejaculate regularly.

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.
(Albert Einstein)
