Types and Mating Strategies of Sexual Activity in Human
What is Sexual Activity?
Sexual activity may follow sexual arousal. Human sexual activity has sociological, cognitive, emotional, behavioral and biological aspects; these include personal bonding, sharing emotions and the physiology of the reproductive system, sex drive, sexual intercourse and sexual behavior in all its forms. It is an innately physiological function, but like other physical activity.
Risks That May Arise From Sexual Activity:
There are four main types of risks that may arise from sexual activity:
- Unwanted pregnancy,
- Contracting a sexually transmitted infection (sti/std),
- Physical injury, and
- Psychological injury.
Illegal Sexual Activities:
Some sexual activities are illegal either universally or in some countries or subnational jurisdictions, while some are considered contrary to the norms of certain societies or cultures. Two examples that are:
- Criminal offences in most jurisdictions are sexual assault and
- Sexual activity with a person below the local age of consent.
Types of Sexual Activity in Human:
Sexual activity can be classified in a number of ways:
- Acts which involve one person (also called autoeroticism) such as masturbation, or two or more people such as vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex or mutual masturbation.
- Penetrative sex between two people may be described as sexual intercourse, but definitions vary. If there are more than two participants in a sex act, it may be referred to as group sex.
- Autoerotic sexual activity can involve use of dildos, vibrators, butt plugs, and other sex toys, though these devices can also be used with a partner.
Mating Strategies of Sexual Activity in Human:
It includes the following:
- In evolutionary psychology and behavioral ecology, human mating strategies are a set of behaviors used by individuals to attract, select, and retain mates.
- Mating strategies overlap with reproductive strategies, which encompass a broader set of behaviors involving the timing of reproduction and the trade-off between quantity and quality of offspring.
- Relative to other animals, human mating strategies are unique in their relationship with cultural variables such as the institution of marriage. Humans may seek out individuals with the intention of forming a long-term intimate relationship, marriage, causal relationship, or friendship.
- The human desire for companionship is one of the strongest human drives. It is an innate feature of human nature, and may be related to the sex drive.
- The human mating process encompasses the social and cultural processes whereby one person may meet another to assess suitability, the courtship process and the process of forming an interpersonal relationship. Commonalities, however, can be found between humans and nonhuman animal, in mating behavior.
