Question 1

Dave and his partner Tim enjoy making love in the "Greek style." What is it they enjoy?

Accepted Answer

"Greek style" typically refers to anal sex.

Question 2

Which intercourse position is sometimes thought of as the most impersonal?

Accepted Answer

Rear entry is sometimes thought of as the most impersonal intercourse position because there is no face-to-face contact and the partners' bodies are positioned in a way that can feel less intimate.

Question 3

Which of the following statements about the rear-entry position is false?

Accepted Answer

It is possible for the partner to stimulate the clitoris in the rear-entry position using either their hand or a sex toy.

Question 4

Many lesbian couples engage in genital apposition, which involves

Accepted Answer

Genital apposition refers to the act of rubbing one's genitals against a partner's genitals, which is commonly practiced by lesbian couples. This involves physical contact and stimulation of the clitoris and vulva, without penetration. Therefore, option D - rubbing their genitals together - is the correct answer. Options A and C may involve physical contact but not necessarily stimulation of the genitals. Option B is not always applicable to lesbian sex as it refers to simulating heterosexual intercourse positions.

Question 5

Why might a woman want her partner's finger in her anus at the moment of orgasm?

Accepted Answer

Many women find that having their partner's finger in their anus during orgasm can heighten their sexual sensation. This is because the anus and the vagina share some nerve pathways, so stimulation in one area can enhance pleasure in the other. It can also provide a feeling of fullness or pressure that can be pleasurable for some women. It is important to note that this type of activity should only be done with clear communication and mutual consent between partners.

Question 6

Enzio is a homosexual male who does not want to engage in anal sex, but fears that potential sex partners expect that he will perform or receive anal sex. According to research on sexual behaviour among gay and bisexual men, what would you tell Enzio?

Accepted Answer

Research on sexual behaviour among gay and bisexual men has shown that not all non-heterosexual men desire or engage in anal sex. Therefore, Enzio should be reassured that he is not alone in his desires and preferences.

Question 7

Considering findings from an Australian survey of sexual behaviour, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

The survey found that a higher variety of sexual behaviors increased the likelihood of a female reaching orgasm. This suggests that it is not just one specific act that leads to orgasm for women, but rather a combination of different activities.

Note: A is incorrect as the survey found that men are more likely to experience orgasm during a sexual encounter than are women. C is incorrect as the survey found that stimulation of the anus with fingers is more commonly practiced than anal intercourse. D is incorrect as the survey found that the majority of sexual encounters involve multiple sex acts, not just vaginal intercourse.

Question 8

Anilingus is defined as

Accepted Answer

Anilingus is the act of orally stimulating the anus, often referred to as "rimming." Inserting a finger or dildo into the anus would be considered a separate act. Anal sex between a man and a woman involves penetration of the anus by the penis and is also a separate act.

Question 9

Fantasizing during sexual activity is a clear sign of relationship dissatisfaction.

Accepted Answer

Fantasizing during sexual activity is very common and does not necessarily indicate relationship dissatisfaction. It is a natural way for individuals to enhance their sexual experience and explore their desires. However, if a person feels the need to fantasize to avoid being present during sexual activity with their partner, it may be a sign of underlying relationship dissatisfaction.

Question 10

Sexual sadistic fantasies directly predict male sexual offending.

Accepted Answer

Sexual sadistic fantasies alone do not directly predict male sexual offending. While some individuals with these fantasies may commit sexual offenses, many do not act on their fantasies. Other factors, such as impulsivity, lack of empathy, and opportunity, play significant roles in the transition from fantasy to behavior.

According to the NHSLS study, approximately what percentage of men and women reported that they had engaged in anal sex in the previous 12 months?

Question 12

Men are more likely than women to fantasize about being sexually coercive.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that men are more likely than women to fantasize about being sexually coercive, even in consensual scenarios. However, it is important to note that not all men have this fantasy and not all who have it act on it. It is also crucial to differentiate between fantasy and actual behavior, and to prioritize respect and consent in all sexual encounters.

Research on gay male sexual behaviour has focused

Accepted Answer

Research on gay male sexual behavior has predominantly focused on the risk of infection rather than the pleasure derived from sexual practices. It has examined various aspects of sexual behavior such as condom use, the number of sexual partners, and frequency of testing for HIV and other STIs in the gay male population. While there is some research on sexual practices, it has mostly been conducted as part of studies on infection risk.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

The NHSLS study reported that the incidence of anal sex was highest among college graduates.

Question 17

Evolutionary theory suggests that women are more likely to fantasize about familiar partners because female reproductive success in ancestral times was dependant on protective relationships with reliable partners.

Accepted Answer

According to the theory of parental investment, women have a higher investment in reproduction due to the greater physical cost of pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, in ancestral times, women were more likely to seek out protective relationships with reliable partners to ensure the survival of their offspring, leading to a preference for familiar partners in their sexual fantasies.

Question 18

Bryce is reading a popular magazine and finds an article on how to improve one's sex life. Which of the following is the article most likely to recommend?
