Part of the beauty of saying “no” ’is that you’re doing much more than staving off an unwanted assignment or a new responsibility or obligation. The rush of confidence and even the slightly otherworldly sense of well-being that arrives after a decisive no moment comes in part from the knowledge that you won’t have to […]

Ejaculations
One way of explaining how an ejaculation works is by comparing it to firing a rifle. In that case too one first has to load before one can shoot, with the urethra acting as the barrel of the rifle. Ejaculation changes as one gets older: both the emission and expulsion phases last longer. Emission stands […]
ADOLESCENCE AND SEXUALITY
Unremembered youth INTRODUCTION Adolescence, a concept just a century old, encompasses dramatic variations across time and cultures at almost every level of application.

They ignore the figures that the primary mode of heterosexual transmission is male to female […]

When you’re between the ages of eight and eighteen, one of the worst things in your own mind is to be considered “weird” or “different.” We all want to fit in and feel “normal.” When puberty kicks in, many of us think something is very wrong with us, especially if we don’t have the guidance […]
Sexual citizenship, sites of governance, and internal schisms
Early discussions of citizenship in Europe and North America usually rested on the assumption of a unified notion of the citizen, which implicitly used the middle-class, white, heterosexual man as the prototype (Marshall 1950). This narrow understanding of citizenship has been criticised for its failure to address the patterned inequalities and exclusions of the underclass, […]
Sex-Reassignment Procedures
The initial step of a sex change involves extensive screening interviews, during which a person’s motivations for undergoing the change are thoroughly evaluated. Individuals with real conflicts and confusion about their gender identity are not considered for surgical alteration. Individuals with an apparently genuine incongruence between their gender identity and their biological sex are then […]
Travel Funds

Of those who responded, 56 percent of men and 59 percent of women indicated that they did (see Appendix 4-11). Again, there was no substantial gender difference at this level […]
