Answer 1

Discuss at least three different se-xual arousal issues or practices (i.e. for-eplay, se-xual practices, aphrodisiacs, etc.) as influenced by physiology, culture, society, age, gender, or se-xual orientation.

1. The intimacy type: people who are have this mode of arousal are the ones who believe that in order to be intimate with someone or have an intimate relationship, it is important that there should be an emotional connect between the two people. This is especially important in the Asian cultures, where, se-xual encounter before marriage is not preferred. They tend to develop this thought process which does not allow se-x with strangers or before marriage.

2. The attractor type: this is mostly seen in women of middle age or around age 40, who have been in a long marital relationship. For these ladies, a small appreciation from their husbands makes their day. Amidst the work of day along with responsibilities of taking care of household and children, a small appreciation adds to arousal.

3. The sensual type: this is the type of arousal that is seen in areas where there are no particular norms such as “no se-x before marriage”. People in these areas, try to hook up, as a casual se-xual encounter, which may or may not have meaning. These are people mostly in their 20s. The physical appearance, to slight touches of the partner as well as a good perfume turn out to be stimulators.
