Changes in sexual behavior patterns due to stimulants use: three case reports

Distinctions are commonly made regarding preferences for active or receptive sexual roles within the Chinese lesbian community. Three sexual self-labels are typically specified among Chinese lesbians: “T”, meaning a lesbian who prefers the active role, “P”, meaning a lesbian who prefers the receptive role, and “H”, meaning a lesbian without a strong preference for either role. The aim in this study was to examine personality differences within Chinese lesbian sexual self-labeled groups. Among the participants, comprising 217 Chinese lesbians, significant differences were found between sexual self-labeled groups in gender-related and Big Five traits. Ts scored higher than Ps in masculinity and self-ascribed masculinity/femininity; Ps scored higher than Ts in femininity; Hs gained intermediate scores in a gender-related traits compared to those of Ts and Ps. There were significant differences in the Big Five traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability among the self-labeled groups. Sexual self-labels appear not only to distinguish sexual behavior patterns but may also suggest personality differences among Chinese lesbians.

Behavior Profiles

Throughout the ages, human beings Have consumed a wide variety of drugs to increase sexual desires, performance and pleasure. However in terms of alcohol and marijuana use in conjunction with sexual behavior patterns, little research has been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine whether individuals who use alcohol and/or marijuana prior to coitus have sexual behavior profiles significantly different than those individuals who do not use alcohol and/or marijuana prior to coitus. A sample of convenience which comprised 1,090 students and 5 per cent of the student population was drawn. The Belcastro Sexual Behavior Inventory was utilized to collect the data. The analysis indicated that for this population experimentation with alcohol and marijuana prior to coitus is not atypical among college students. The pattern of sexual behaviors for black students was not all that dissimilar between those who did and did not use alcohol and marijuana prior to coitus. This was not true for white students. White females who used alcohol and marijuana prior to coitus had a sexual behavior profile which was in sharp contrast to those females who did not use these drugs prior to coitus. It was suggested that the use of these drugs may be a form of “chemical foreplay” where they are used to enhance and culminate the coital episode. If this premise is supported by future empirical research it would seem that education which segregates the area of drugs from the area of sexuality is inadequate.

Chi Square Analysis

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sexual behavior patterns of student athletes of senior high schools in the Upper East Region of Ghana and to assess the differences in sexual behavior patterns between male and females. A sample of 400 student athletes using a convenience sampling technique from public senior high schools was drawn to complete a self-designed research study. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test tool were used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that student athletes practiced various forms of sexual behaviors such as celibacy, foreplay, vaginal-penile sex, sexual fantasy, masturbation, oral sex, and anal sex. The Chi-square analysis showed significant gender differences in prevalence of masturbation (χ2 (1, n = 400) = 4.6962, probability = 0.030) and sexual fantasy (χ2 (1, n = 400) = 6.8477, probability = 0.009), but not vaginal-penile intercourse (χ2 (1, n = 400) = 1.3197, probability = 0.251) and celibacy (χ2, (1, n = 400) = 0.0721, probability = 0.788). The study concludes that student athletes of senior high schools might be vulnerable to unplanned parenthood and are at risk of STIs, including HIV. Regular health promotion campaigns on sexual risk-taking behaviors are required to help reduce the prevalence of student athletes’ indulgence in risky sexual behavior patterns that can harm their health. It is essential to implement gender-specific interventions (e.g., decision-making skills) when addressing the problems of sexual behaviors among the student athletes in the region.
