It normally starts with desire and a sexual stimulus that is perceived positively. Such stimuli can even be imaginary like masturbating. Sexual fantasy is a vital part of humans’ lives. Psychological factors can not only stimulate sexual arousal but also inhibit it. A person may be engaged in sexual activity and then become turned off by something a partner does. Other people desire sex but have difficulty becoming or staying aroused. Temporary arousal problems can be leaded by stress, fatigue, and anger. Sexual dysfunction refers to a long time of period, impaired sexual functioning that makes a person feel distressed. There are many reasons such as injuries, diseases, and drug effectsm but some causes are psychological. Arousal difficulties also may stem from performance anxiety or may be a psychological consequence of sexual assault or childhood sexual abuse. (Michael W. Passer and Ronald E. Smith,

Sex drives all Throughout our lifetime, we are all constantly powered by desire, whether we want to or not. Our desire is stemmed from the human need to be connected with other human beings, either intellectually, emotionally, or sexually. However, our sexual desires are so strong that they are able to create a total body experience. For instance, parts of ourselves that are often asleep awaken, areas that are uninvolved or detached become deeply involved or attached. These desires heighten our senses and allow the experience to be unforgettable.
of social control. Modern understanding, terms, and science may help to simplify the complexity of human sexuality but also in this complexity creates boxes for in which people do not fit. These theories relate to the critical sexuality studies because it allows for the idea that human sexuality is more complex than the categories people place it in. The unique analysis this theory gives is that sexuality can only be understood on an individual basis, because social categories and scientific understanding cannot completely define it. “Because the binaries are revealed to be cultural constructions or ideological fictions, the reality of sexed bodies and gender and sexual identities are fraught with incoherence and instability.
The lack of sexual education also contributes to young marriage and motherhood rates (Ngo & Leet-Otley, 2011). Hmong parents do not understand sexual education and do not discuss it with their children. In Meschke and Dettmer’s (2013) study on sexual health communication, Hmong daughters inferred that parents believed the talk about sexual health might encourage their daughters to be sexually active. Talking about sex is impolite and embarrassing so Hmong families do not usually have discussions on that topic. However, when they do give out information it is often wrong and exaggerated (Meschke & Dettmer, 2012).

Paraphilia is a condition in which a person’s sexual arousal and gratification depend on fantasizing about and engaging in sexual behavior that is a typical and extreme. When it comes to paraphilia, it becomes a broad topic for which it can be broken down to several sexual disorders. In the eyes of many experts the most commonly diagnosed with sexual disorders are men, but recent research has shown the increase of women falling under this umbrella. Women and paraphilia are rare and basically almost non-existent to the public eye. During a case series made by Paul Fedoroff, Alija Fishell, and Beverley Fedoroff, fourteen women were compared to 118 men who were presumed to have a paraphilic sexual disorder.
The society has also grown more tolerant of sexual portrayals. Pornography however, as much as it is criticized, has its advantages (Krayzelburg, 2011). In addition, pornography also can be used as therapy in cases where he partner having problem in libido or lack of interest in the sexual intercourse. It also can be used in several cases like erectile dysfunctions where it was cured by using pornography as a therapeutic application. By using pornography, the sexual desire of the couple can be improved significantly as it leads to intensifying of sexual orgasmic feeling.
In today’s generation, sex is always the answer. It is common for two people in a relationship to have sex simply because they are together. According to a data survey dated back in 2001, men are mostly the instigators of the act. Reasons such as desire, lust, boredom and love came out as top answers to the question. When asked, men just usually shrug and say “It felt right at that moment to do it, and so we did it”.
It’s more than likely that most taboo-highs required for achieving sexual orgasm have evolved from a previous lower level of pornography use and abuse of certain images; images that were deemed by the male user or abuser as no longer effective in stimulating exciting sexual orgasmic experiences. Therefore, some males are involved with taboo activities that assist with elevating the level of sexual orgasm achieved through pornography use and abuse by viewing the following taboo pornographic images or scenes: males and females urinating or defecating; males and females urinating and defecating on other persons; males and females eating feces or drinking urine; nude children and preteens in various natural or lewd poses; incest scenes: mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons or fathers and sons having sexual relations with each other or participating in an orgy; sisters having sexual relations with each other or participating in orgy; other family members involved in incestuous activities; females and males being sodomized; little girls, preteens or women playing with their anus or smelling their own panties, males or females having sex with animals,

People ashamed while talking about the sex and don’t want to talk by thinking that what images they would have in their society if they talk openly in this topic or rather they think that talking on this topic will down their prestige in society.
