108.What is sociobiology? How do humans choose mates, according to sociobiologists?

Sociobiology is defined as the application of evolutionary biology to understanding the social behavior of animals, including humans. Sexual behavior is a form of social behavior, and so sociobiologists try, often through observations of other species, to understand why certain patterns of sexual behavior have evolved in humans. Sociobiologists argue that many of the characteristics we evaluate in judging attractiveness—for example, physique and complexion—are indicative of the health and vigor of the individual. These in turn are probably related to the person’s reproductive potential; the unhealthy are less likely to produce many vigorous offspring. Natural selection would favor individuals preferring mates who would have maximum reproductive success. Thus, perhaps our concern with physical attractiveness is a product of evolution and natural selection.

According to sociobiology, parents are most interested in the survival and reproductive success of their genetic offspring. Parental investment refers to the behavior and resources invested in offspring to achieve this end. Research indicates that fathers invest the most money on the genetic children of their current union and the least money on stepchildren from a past relationship. However, they spend an equal amount on their genetic children and the stepchildren of their current relationship, perhaps to cement the pair-bond with their current partner.

110.According to Freud, what are the three components of the human personality?

Freud described the human personality as being divided into three major parts: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the basic part of personality and is present at birth. It is the reservoir of psychic energy and operates on the pleasure principle, thus making it pretty irrational. The ego operates on the reality principle and tries to keep the id in line. It functions to make a person have realistic, rational interactions with others. The superego is the conscience and it operates on idealism. Thus it aims to inhibit the impulses of the id and to persuade the ego to strive for moral goals rather than realistic ones.

111.According to Freud, how does the Electra complex in girls differ from the Oedipus complex in boys?

The Oedipus complex and Electra complex are associated with the third stage of psychosexual devolvement—the phallic stage. According to Freud, the resolution of the Oedipus complex is a key factor in personality development as, once the castration anxiety becomes too much, the boy stops desiring his mother and starts identifying with his father. He starts taking on the gender roles and characteristics expected of males by society. In comparison, in the Electra complex, the girl suffers from penis envy over the fact that she does not have a penis. She begins to desire her father sexually and wishes to be impregnated by him to substitute for the unobtainable penis. Because she already lacks a penis, she does not experience castration anxiety as in the case of boys. Thus, the Electra complex in the girl is never completely resolved. Owing to this incomplete resolution, the girl remains somewhat immature compared with men.

112.What were some of the criticisms leveled at Freud’s psychoanalytic theory?

From a scientific point of view, one of the major problems with psychoanalytic theory is that most of its concepts cannot be evaluated scientifically to see whether they are accurate. Another criticism is that Freud derived his data almost exclusively from his work with patients who sought therapy from him. Thus, his theory may provide a view not so much of human personality as of disturbances in human personality. Feminists have also been critical of Freudian theory as a male-centered theory that may cause harm to women. They object to Freud’s assumption that because women do not have a penis they are biologically inferior to men, and to his distinction between vaginal and clitoral orgasms. Finally, many modern psychologists feel that Freud overemphasized the biological determinants of behavior and instincts and that he gave insufficient recognition to the importance of the environment and learning.

113.Sexual behavior plays dual roles in learning theory. Explain.

According to operant conditioning, behaviors that are rewarded and reinforced are more likely to occur again, while those that are punished are less likely to be repeated. In learning theory, sexual behavior plays dual roles. It can be used as a reward or a positive reinforcer, as in the case of a person who frequents nightclubs because of the probability of “hooking up” with someone; and it can also be the behavior that is rewarded or punished, as in the case of a man who contracts a sexually transmitted disease (STD) after having unprotected sex.

114.What is the matching hypothesis?

The matching hypothesis predicts that men and women will choose as mates people who match them on physical and social characteristics. People who match will provide each other with similar rewards on dimensions such as attractiveness, social status, and wealth. As such, people at all levels of attractiveness find partners, reflecting the operation of matching.

115.Explain the relationship between gender schema theory and stereotypes.

A gender schema predisposes individuals to process information on the basis of gender. It is comprised of the attributes that we generally associate with males and females, and in this way reinforces gender stereotypes. Gender schemas help us remember information that is consistent with the schema (and the stereotype), while they distort or filter out information that is schema- and stereotype-inconsistent. Owing to this, stereotypes—whether they are about males and females or about heterosexuals and homosexuals or other groups—may be very slow to change.

116.Briefly explain queer theory.

Queer theory is broader than just the topic of sexual orientation and includes other topics that have been considered “deviant,” such as intersex and transgender. Queer theory questions the social categorization of sexuality and gender. It challenges binaries (the idea that people fall into one of just two categories), especially the sexual orientation binary—that is, the assumption that people are either homosexual or heterosexual and there are no other possibilities or spaces in between. Similarly, it questions the gender binary that separates people into male and female, as if they were opposites, with no recognition of similarities or other gender possibilities. It also argues that sexual identities are not fixed for the individual. That is, sexual identities may vary depending on the situation or time in one’s life. Another definition of queer is peculiar or odd—that is, different from the norm. In this sense, queer theory questions what is categorized as peculiar and what is not. It questions norms. It uses this approach to challenge heteronormativity, the belief that heterosexuality is the only pattern of sexuality that is normal and natural. Queer theory argues that social norms privilege heterosexuality and marginalize other sexual orientations.

117.What is meant by the medicalizationof sexuality? Give some examples.

The increasing influence of medicine on sexuality has not been taken lying down. The domination of contemporary theory and research based on the biomedical model is referred to as the medicalization of sexuality. Medicalization has two components: Certain behaviors or conditions are defined in terms of health and illness, and problematic experiences or practices are given medical treatment. The medicalization of male sexuality is being hastened by the development of drugs to treat erectile dysfunction, and many physicians and pharmaceutical companies are seeking to medicalize female orgasmic dysfunction by finding a pill that will “cure” it.

109.Describe the similarities between the clitoris and the penis.

The female’s clitoris is homologous to the male’s penis; that is, both develop from the same embryonic tissue. The clitoris varies in size from one woman to the next, much as the penis varies in size from man to man. Also, the clitoris, like the penis, is erectile. Its erection is possible because its internal structure contains corpora cavernosa that fill with blood, as the similar structures in the penis do. Like the penis, the clitoris has a rich supply of nerve endings, making it very sensitive to stroking.

110.Briefly describe the different types of female genital cutting (FGC).

Female genital cutting (FGC) is practiced in several forms, depending on the customs of the particular culture. The simplest is clitoridectomy, the partial or total removal of the clitoris, sometimes just the prepuce. The WHO classifies this as Type 1. Excision (Type 2) involves the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the inner lips. The most extreme form is infibulation (Type 3), in which the clitoris and all of the inner lips are removed, part of the outer lips are removed, and the raw edges of the outer lips are stitched together to cover the urethral opening and the vaginal entrance, with only a small opening left for the passage of urine and menstrual fluid. WHO Type 4 refers to all other female genital procedures for nonmedical purposes, including nicking or piercing the prepuce, which is favored by some as preserving the tradition but injuring the body the least.

111.Describe the structure and functions of the vagina.

The vagina is the tube-shaped organ into which the penis is inserted during coitus; it also receives the ejaculate. Because it is the passageway through which a baby travels during birth, it is sometimes also called the birth canal. In the resting or unaroused state, the vagina is about 8 to 10 centimeters (3 to 4 inches) long and tilts slightly backward from the bottom to the top. At the bottom it ends in the vaginal opening, or introitus. At the top it connects with the cervix (the lower part of the uterus). It is a very flexible organ that works somewhat like a balloon. In the resting state its walls lie against each other like the sides of an uninflated balloon; during arousal it expands like an inflated balloon, allowing space to accommodate the penis. The walls of the vagina have three layers. The inner layer, the vaginal mucosa, is a mucous membrane similar to the inner lining of the mouth. The middle layer is muscular, and the outer layer forms a covering. The walls of the vagina are extremely elastic and are capable of expanding to the extent necessary during intercourse and childbirth, although with age they become thinner and less flexible. The nerve supply of the vagina is mostly to the lower one-third, near the introitus. That part is sensitive to erotic stimulation. The inner two-thirds of the vagina contains almost no nerve endings and is therefore relatively insensitive except to feelings of deep pressure. Some women have a spot on the front wall of the vagina that is more sensitive than the rest of the vagina, but even it is not nearly so sensitive as the inner lips, outer lips, or clitoris. This spot is referred to by some as the G spot.

The vagina is highly elastic and expandable. Thus, at least in principle, any penis can fit into any vagina. The part of the vagina that is most responsible for a man’s sensation that it is “tight,” “too tight,” or “too loose” is the introitus.

112.How are the uterus, the fallopian tubes, and the ovaries related?

The uterus, the fallopian tubes, and the ovaries are related in the following way: The ovaries produce eggs (ova). When the egg has matured, the follicle bursts open and releases the egg. The ovaries do not actually connect directly to the fallopian tubes. Rather, the egg is released into the body cavity and reaches the tube by moving toward the fimbriae, which are the finger-like projections of the infundibulum. The egg is fertilized in the fallopian tubes, typically, in the infundibulum. The fertilized egg then travels through the rest of the fallopian tube to the uterus, which is responsible for holding and nourishing a developing fetus.

113.What is male circumcision? Why is it practiced and what are its advantages?

Circumcision refers to the surgical cutting away or removal of the foreskin. Circumcision is practiced in many parts of the world and, when parents so choose, is done to boys in the United States within a few days after birth. Circumcision may be done for cultural and religious reasons. Circumcision has been a part of Jewish religious practice for thousands of years. It symbolizes the covenant between God and the Jewish people and is done on the eighth day after birth, according to scriptural teaching. Circumcision is also common in Muslim cultures. In some cultures circumcision is done at puberty as an initiation ritual, or rite de passage. The ability of the young boy to stand the pain may be seen as a proof of manhood. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics (2012) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015c) recommend circumcision, stating that there are medical benefits and advantages to circumcisions that outweigh potential risks. The evidence indicates, for example, that uncircumcised male babies are 11 times more likely to get urinary tract infections than are circumcised babies. There is also evidence that uncircumcised men have a higher risk of infection with HIV, the AIDS virus.

114.What is the cremasteric reflex? What is its function?

The testes are able to move up close to the body or down away from it. The mechanics of this movement are made possible by the cremasteric reflex, named for the cremaster muscle connecting the scrotum to the body wall. Reflex contraction of this muscle pulls the testes up. These changes are brought about mainly by changes in temperature (although emotional factors may also produce them). If a man plunges into a cold lake, the scrotum will shrivel and move close to the body. If the man is working in an extremely hot place, the scrotum will hang down and away from the body. This mechanism is important because the testes should remain at a fairly constant temperature, slightly lower than normal body temperature. This constancy of temperature is necessary to protect the sperm, which may be injured by extremes of temperature. Thus if the air is cold, the testes move closer to the body to maintain warmth, but if the air is too hot, they move away from it to keep cool.

115.Describe the stages of maturation of the male germ cells.

Following initial cell division in the seminiferous tubules, the male germ cells go through several stages of maturation. At the earliest stage, the cell is called a spermatogonium. Then it becomes a spermatocyte (first primary and then secondary) and then a spermatid. Finally, when fully mature it is a spermatozoan, or sperm. Spermatogenesis, the manufacture of sperm, occurs continuously in adult men.

116.Describe the structure and function of the prostate gland.

The prostate lies below the bladder and is about the size and shape of a chestnut. It is composed of both muscle and glandular tissue. The prostate secretes milky alkaline fluid that is part of the ejaculate. The alkalinity of the secretion provides a favorable environment for the sperm and helps prevent their destruction by the acidity of the vagina. The prostate is fairly small at birth, enlarges at puberty, and typically shrinks in old age.

117.Briefly describe the risk factors for breast and cervical cancer, the treatment options available, and their likely outcomes.

1. Breast cancer

Risk factors: Breast cancer in women can be due to genetic factors, long-term use of menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and obesity. Scientists have identified two breast cancer genes: Breast Cancer 1 (BRCA1) on chromosome 17 and Breast Cancer 2 (BRCA2) on chromosome 13. Mutations of these genes create a high risk of breast cancer.

Treatment: Several types of surgery may be performed when a breast lump is found to be malignant. If the lump is small and has not spread, the surgery may involve only a lumpectomy, in which the lump and a small bit of surrounding tissues are removed. Other surgeries include radical mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, and simple mastectomy. Following surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy are used. These may be followed by drug therapy such as tamoxifen.

Outcomes: Treatments are generally highly effective; and if the cancer is localized, the survival rate is more than 98 percent five years after treatment. Apart from this, the psychological impact of breast cancer and mastectomy can be enormous.

1. Cancer of the cervix

Risk factors: Approximately 95 percent of cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papillomavirus, HPV. Early initiation of heterosexual intercourse during the teenage years and intercourse with multiple partners are known risk factors for cervical cancer.

Treatment: Treatment varies according to how advanced the cancer is when diagnosed and includes methods such as cryotherapy, cone biopsy, hysterectomy, and radiation therapy.

Outcomes: A hysterectomy carries risks similar to those of any major surgery; however, it does not leave women “masculinized,” and they can continue having intercourse.

118.Briefly describe the risk factors for cancer of the prostate and testes, the treatment options available, and their likely outcomes.

The major cancers of the reproductive system of men are prostate cancer and testicular cancer:

1. Cancer of the prostate

Risk factors: Research indicates that men with a greater number of female sex partners have an increased risk of prostate cancer.

Treatment: This often involves surgical removal of some or all of the prostate, plus some type of hormone therapy, radiation therapy, or anticancer drugs.

Outcomes: Surgery may result in erection problems.

1. Cancer of the testes

Risk factors: It tends to be a disease of young men, and it is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 29 and 35. Also, an undescended testis has a much greater risk of developing cancer.

Treatment: Cancer of the testes may be treated by surgically removing the entire testis. An artificial, gel-filled testicle may be implanted to restore a normal appearance.

Outcomes: When a lump is reported to a physician early and is localized, the five-year survival rate is 96 percent. However, if the cancer has progressed to Stage III, the survival rate is 70 percent.
