- ... like her person. The traditional psychoanalytical theory states that all human beings are born with instinctual drives that are constantly active even though a person is not usually conscious of them. Two drives, one for sexual pleasure and the other called aggression, motivate and propel most behaviors in people. Lisa creates a very intense sexual drive for her fictive person. Readers may speculate that this creation may have been brought about by experiences beginning at birth. In the infant, the libido supposedly first manifests itself by making the act of ... sucking the thumb an activity with pleasurable sensations in the mouth. Later, according to Freud, similar pleasures are experienced in the anus during bowel movements, and finally these erotically tinged pleasures are experienced when the sexual organ is manipulated. Thus psychosexual development progresses from the oral through the anal to the phallic stage. During the height of the phallic phase (about ages three to six), Freud notes that these drives ...
- 202: Homosexuals: A Suspect Class?
- ... Amendment 2] bars gay men, lesbians and bisexuals from having an effective voice in governmental affairs, insofar as those persons deem it beneficial to seek legislation that would protect them from discrimination based on their sexual orientation. The United States Supreme Court must now determine whether or not to uphold the Colorado Supreme Court's decision, despite the results of the referendum that was basically a public affirmation of orthodox Christian ... hundreds of years homosexuality has been uniformly condemned by traditional Christian societies as immoral. On that ground, it was never contested that sodomy should remain illegal and unprotected by any legislation-- homosexuals were considered unnatural sexual deviants, and were treated as such.

This study raises an interesting question: If homosexuality is hereditary, is there any basis for societal ...

In stanza 40, Byron has fun with an even more ridiculous aspect of repressive edu tion: The Classics are published in different versions, in which any lines with sexual references in them are removed from the text, so that the text may be taught to schoolboys without the fear of corrupting them. But we are then told that, in respec for the great ...
- 204: The Storm by Kate Chopin
- ... The Storm" so soon after completing her 'feminist' novel, Chopin had "the protest of "The Awakening" off her mind" (p169).

(Pickering 1992, p209) Calixta's unbuttoning of her jacket foreshadows the sexual encounter to come, but her actions imply something greater.

Experiments conducted led to the possible conclusion that the region Xq28 carries a gene influencing male sexual orientation. However, there are a few flaws to their interpretation of the results.
