The symptoms described are consistent with someone who has AIDS, which is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). When a person’s immune system is compromised in this way, they are vulnerable to other infections and diseases. A paraphilia refers to a sexual attraction to objects or behaviors that are considered atypical. HPV is an infection that can lead to genital warts or various types of cancer. Erectile disorder refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. None of these conditions fit the description given in the question.

Accepted Answer

Mr. Gander's behavior is indicative of a paraphilia, which is a persistent and intense sexual arousal to atypical or nonhuman stimuli, in this case, women's undergarments. The other options (erectile disorder, orgasmic disorder, and refractory period) do not fit Mr. Gander's symptoms.

Question 3

Which of the following is passed much more often from males to females than from females to males?

Accepted Answer

HIV infections are primarily transmitted through sexual intercourse, and studies have shown that women are more vulnerable to acquiring HIV from men than the other way around. This is due to biological differences in the genitalia and the fact that semen is more likely to transmit the virus than vaginal fluid.

Question 4

Condoms have been ________ in preventing certain skin-to-skin STIs,such as herpes.Condoms have been ________ in preventing transmission of HIV.

Accepted Answer

Condoms are less effective in preventing skin-to-skin STIs like herpes because these infections can be transmitted through areas not covered by a condom. However, they are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV when used correctly and consistently.

Question 5

Question 6

Which of the following is an example of a paraphilia?

Accepted Answer

Exhibitionism is considered a paraphilia, which is a sexual disorder characterized by persistent and intense sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that involve non-human objects, suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner, or non-consenting or inappropriate partners. Erectile disorder, female orgasmic disorder, and premature ejaculation are all sexual dysfunctions but are not considered paraphilias.

Question 7

Natasha and Sergio want to prevent their daughter from contracting a specific STI,so they arrange for her to receive a vaccination.Which STI are Natasha and Sergio trying to prevent?

Accepted Answer

Paraphilias involve sexual behaviors that are considered socially unacceptable and may be harmful to oneself or others. While some individuals with paraphilias may not experience personal distress, their actions can still be harmful and lead to legal or social consequences. Medical treatment may be available for some types of paraphilias, but it is not always effective or necessary. The prevalence of paraphilias is relatively low and they are not considered common or typical sexual behaviors.

Accepted Answer

Recent studies have shown a significant link between oral sex and the transmission of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to the development of cancers in the mouth, throat, and genitals. It is important for individuals to practice safe sex by using dental dams, condoms, and getting vaccinated against HPV to reduce the risk of transmission.

Question 11

An inability to develop or maintain an erection during intercourse due to insufficient bloodflow to the penis is most clearly an indication of

Accepted Answer

Erectile disorder, also known as erectile dysfunction, is characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection during sexual activity. This can be caused by various factors such as age, certain medical conditions, and psychological factors.

Question 13

AIDS results from the transmission of ________ from an infected sexual partner.

Accepted Answer

AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is transmitted through infected bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk. It is primarily spread through sexual contact with an infected partner, but can also be contracted through sharing needles or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are terms used to refer to any infection or disease that can be transmitted through sexual activity, but HIV/AIDS is specifically caused by the HIV virus. HPV (human papillomavirus) is a separate sexually transmitted infection, but it does not directly cause AIDS or HIV.

Question 14

This is a type of sexual fetish where an individual becomes sexually aroused by rubbing their genitals against a non-consenting person. It is considered a criminal offense and a form of sexual assault. Erectile disorder pertains to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection. Exhibitionism is a paraphilia where an individual becomes sexually aroused by exposing their genitals to non-consenting people. Necrophilia is a paraphilia where an individual is sexually aroused by dead bodies.

It can also include experiencing sexual arousal from the suffering of others, known as a sadomasochistic paraphilia. A and B do not accurately describe a paraphilia, and D may be a symptom or related issue but is not a defining characteristic of a paraphilia.

Question 19

Which of the following is an example of a sexual dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Erectile disorder, also known as erectile dysfunction, is a common sexual dysfunction in which a person has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection during sexual activity. Pedophilia is a paraphilia, not a sexual dysfunction. A refractory period is a natural occurrence in which a male is unable to achieve another erection for a certain period of time after ejaculation. The plateau phase is a stage in the sexual response cycle, not a sexual dysfunction.

Option B, sexually transmitted infections are infections that are typically spread through sexual contact, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HIV. Option C, nocturnal emission or "wet dreams" refers to the involuntary ejaculation of semen during sleep, and is not related to erectile disorder.
