hey here is your answer
Human sexuality is a true complexity, as complex and multifacetedas human nature itself, there exists very few general similarities in human sexuality, rather a multitude of unique and diverse tendencies.[1] Sexology is more than just the study of sexual intercourse.[1] Psychological, cultural, spiritual, social, political and physical dimensions of sexuality play a role in Sexology. A Sexologist is a person who has advanced academic knowledge in sexual science and is committed to the objective, empirical study of sexuality and employs numerous academia's, scientific disciplines and therapeutic practices that may be medical, psychotherapeutic or educational.[2] The general population have minimal knowledge of the role of a Sexologist outside of sex therapy when in actual fact the profession is extremely multifaceted and maintains an extensive area of expert practices
In its historical origination, Sexology dates back to the ancient Greeks when physicians such as Hippocrates and the philosophers Plato and Aristotleconducted extensive observations and offered the first elaborate theories regarding sexual responses, dysfunctions, practicesand ethics.[1] In the 1800's, Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing published Psychopathia Sexualis,considered to be the establishment of Sexology as a scientific discipline.[3] Other important contributors of the eras to follow were Sigmund Freud, Magnus Hirschfield and Havelock Ellis who challenged the sexual taboos of his era by documenting that sex was not merely a method of procreation but also a source of pleasure.[4]
Sexology took a more scientific influence throughout the 1940's and 50's through the works of scholars such as Alfred Kinsey who founded the Institute for Sex Research in 1947.[5] Kinsey and his staff collected over 18,000 interviews, and published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948 and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female in 1953.[5] In 1966 and 1970, Masters and Johnson released their works Human Sexual Response and Human Sexual Inadequacy, respectively.[6] The Masters and Johnson Institute was founded in 1978. Their sometimes controversial methods have been appropriately revised and many are still applied to this day.
Today Sexology is the term to describe the multi-disciplinary scientific study of human sexuality.[2] Initsapplication as an academia Sexologists study sexual functions, relationships, behaviors, gender roles, activities, development, sexual health andmany more. Sexuality is a vast array of actions, thoughts and attitudes most often influenced by our societal values and expectations, education, socioeconomic status, culture, religion, laws, politics as well as an individual's personal values, morals and ethics.[7] The study of sexuality is constantly changing and progressing along with societiesvalues regarding sexuality making it a very progressive and dynamic mode of study.
Sexological research is essential to the continued expansion of knowledge of human sexuality, to the evaluation and improvement of sexuality programs.[8] Research can cover many areas and generally involves studies on specific human sexual behaviors or dysfunctions through the collection of statistical datain order to create specialised treatment implementations, policy reviews and rationales for practices.[8] Medical research is also a Sexological area, sexual health, STIs and BBV's and sexual dysfunctions are the common fields of clinical research. Studies are vast and varied but lead to improved methods for the treatment of sexuality-related issues.
Sex therapy is a popular mode of treatment for those wishing to avoid medicalisation of their sexual issues. The public holds an interest in new ways toenhance sexual performance and relationships and cure common sexual dysfunctions.[11] Sexual dysfunctions are defined as problems that interfere with a person's ability to engage in, enjoy, or achieve satisfaction from sexual interaction.[12] Most therapists practice a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychotherapyand systemic interventions including, sexual education, communication training, assertiveness practices, physical awareness techniques and sensuality exercises. Sex Therapy may also focus on exploration of past trauma, sexual abuse or negative events that may be contributing to, or maintaining, current sexual problems.[13]
