SOC 152A Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Erection, Stage Fright, Vaginal Lubrication
Document Summary
As humans take over earth global wildlife populations have shrunk 60% in the past 40 years. People learn their sexual turn-ons through pavlovian conditioning (aka classical conditioning) when some new stimulus gets paired with sex. Examples of turn-ons: images of nude bodies, being touched erotically, words associated with sex, etc. Stimuli present while masturbating or during coitus become sexual-turn ons that can arouse sexual urges and positive feelings. The more sex-related stimuli that a person pairs with masturbation or coitus, the more turn-ons the person will develop. Different socializations lead to different numbers of sexual turn-ons. Males typically end up with more turn-ons for sex, although that is changing. Females often prefer softer porn than men (i. e. storylines, less aggressive, etc. ) Males and females listen to 1/4 different audios of male- female interactions. Second audio: erotic and romantic (sex sounds, romantic affirmations) Fourth audio: no sex, no romance, general mundane conversation (the control group)
