  • Marital
  • Extramarital
  • Postmarital
• Phases of human sexual response

  • Excitement phase
  • Plateau phase
  • Sexual climax
  • Resolution phase
• Nervous system factors


  The entire nervous system plays a significant role during sexual response. The hypothalamus and the limbic system are the parts of the brain believed to be responsible for regulating sexual response, but there is no specialized "sex center" that has been located in the human brain
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)


  Infections transmitted from an infected person to an uninfected person through sexual contact
• HIV


  Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus - this virus can only infect human beings, its effect is to create deficiency in the immune system, and it is a virus incapable of reproducing itself
• AIDS


  Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome - a condition one must acquire or get infected with, it affects the body's immune system making it deficient, and it is a syndrome where someone with AIDS may experience a wide range of different diseases
• Gonorrhea


  • Vaginal discharge, pain when urinating, vaginal bleeding, redness and irritation of the genital area. Caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Can infect anus, genitals, throat, eye. Can be cured with antibiotics but 70% of women have no symptoms, enabling this infection to spread unchecked
• Syphilis


  • Highly contagious disease spread primarily by sexual activity, including oral and anal sex. Can be passed through prolonged kissing. Caused by the bacteria Treponema Pallidum
• Contraception

  The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10354), informally known as the Reproductive Health Law or RH Law, is a law in the Philippines, which guarantees universal access to methods on contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care
• Types of contraception


  • Natural methods
  • Artificial methods
• Natural contraception methods


  • Abstinence
  • Calendar method (Rhythm method)
  • Basal body temperature
  • Cervical mucus method
  • Symptothermal mucus method
  • Ovulation detection
  • Coitus interruptus
• Artificial contraception methods


  • Oral contraceptives
  • Transdermal patch
  • Vaginal ring
  • Subdermal implants
  • Hormonal injections
  • Intrauterine device
  • Chemical barriers
  • Diaphragm
  • Cervical cap
  • Male condoms
  • Female condoms
  • Surgical methods (Vasectomy, Tubal ligation)
• Abstinence – involves refraining from sexual intercourse.
• Calendar Method (Rhythm method) – It entails withholding from coitus during days that the woman is fertile.
• Basal Body Temperature – indicates the woman’s fertility when a slight decrease in the BBT followed by a gradual increase in the BBT can be a sign that woman has ovulated.
• Cervical Mucus Method – The woman is said to be fertile as long as the cervical mucus is copious and watery. The CM can be stretched up until at least 1 inch and is slippery.
• Coitus Interruptus – When a man withdraws the moment he ejaculates to emit the spermatoza outside of the female reproductive organ.
• Ovulation Detection – uses an over-the-counter kit that requires the urine sample of the woman. The kit can predict ovulation through the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) that happens 12 to 24 hours before ovulation.
• Symptothermal Mucus Method – Combination of the BBT method and CM method.
• Oral Contraceptives – contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen suppreses the Follicle Stimulating Hormones and LH to prevent ovulation.
• Transdermal Patch – contains both estrogen and progesterone. The woman should apply one patch every week for three weeks on the following areas; upper outer arm, upper torso, abdomen, or buttocks.
• Vaginal Ring – releases a combination of estrogen and progesterone and it surrounds the cervix.
• Subdermal Implants – two rod-like implants inserted under the skin of the female during her menses or on the seventh day of her menstruation to make sure that she will not get pregnant.
• Hormonal Injections – contains progesterone and is usually given once every 12 weeks intramuscularly. The injection causes changes in the endometrium and cervical mucus and can help prevent ovulation.
• Intrauterine device – a small and t-shaped object containing progesterone that is inserted into the uterus via the female reproductive organ.
• Chemical Barriers – Spermicides, vaginal gels, and creams, and glycerin films are used to cause the death of sperms before they can enter the cervix and to lower the pH level of the female reproductive organ.
• Diaphragm – Circular, rubber disk that fits the cervix and should be placed before coitus. It works by inhibiting the entrance of the sperm into the female reproductive organ and it works better when used together with a spermicide.
• Cervical Cap – made of soft rubber and fitted on the rim of the cervix.
