Corona- the ridge that separates the glans from body of the penis. 2. Root- the base of the penis, which extends into the shaft. 3. Shaft- the body of the penis, which expands as a result of vasocongestion. 4. Foreskin-the loose skin that covers the penile glans. Also referred to as the prepuce. 5. Circumcision-surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. 6. Scrotum- the pouch of loose skin that contains the testes. 7. Vas deferens- a tude that conducts sperm from the testicle to the ejaculatory duct of the penis. 8. Cremaster muscle-the muscle that raises and lowers the testicle in response to temperature changes and sexual stimulation. 9. Dartos muscle- the muscle in the middle layer of the scrotum that contracts and relaxes in response to temperature changes. 10.Sperm- the male germ cell. 11.Androgens- male sex horomones. 12.Testosterone- a male steroid sex horomone. 13.Spermatozoa- mature sperm cells. 14.Vasectomy- severing of the vas deferens, preventing sperm from reaching the ejaculatory duct. 15.Seminal vesicles- small glands the lie behind the bladder and secrete fluids that combine with sperm in the ejaculatory ducts. 16.Prostate gland- the gland that lies beneath the bladder and secretes prostatic fluid, which gives semen its characteristic odor and texture. 17.Semen- the whitish fluid that constitutes the ejaculate, consisting of sperm and secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate, and Cowpers glands. 18.Urethritis- an inflammation of the bladder or urethra. 19.Prostatitis- inflammation of the prostate gland.

20.Erection- enlargement and stiffening of the penis caused by engorgement with blood. Part B Chapter 5 1. Erogenous zones- parts of the body that are especially sensitive to tactile sexual stimulation. 2. Aphrodisiacs-drugs or other agents that are sexually arousing or that increase sexual desire. 3. Anaphrodisiacs-drugs or other agents whose effects are antagonistic to sexual arousal or sexual desire. 4. Antiandrogen- a substance that decreases the levels of androgens in the bloodstream. 5. Hormone- a chemical that is secreted directly into the bloodstream by ductless gland, and which influences the functions of the body and/or behavior. 6. Estrus- a brief period of fertility that corresponds to ovulation. 7. Ovariectomy- surgical removal of the ovaries. 8. Sexual response cycle- masters and johnsons model of sexual response, which consists of four phases. 9. Vasocongestion- the swelling of the genital tissues with blood, which causes erection of the penis and engorgement of the area surrounding the vaginal. 10.Myotonia- muscle tension. 11.Excitement phase- the first phase of the sexual response cycle, which is characterized by erection in the male, vaginal lubrication in the female, and muscle tension and increases in heart rate in both males and females. 12.Sex flush- a reddish rash that appears on the chest or breasts late in the excitement phase of the sexual response cycle. 13.Plateau phase- the second phase of sexual response cycle, which is characterized by increases in vasocongestion, muscle tension, heart rate, and blood pressure in preparation for orgasm. 14.Sex skin- reddening of the labia minora that occurs during the pateau phase. 15.Orgasmic phase- the phase of the sexual response cycle that is characterized by rapid succession of muscular contractions in the genital regions of both males and females, and also by ejaculation by the male. 16.Resolution phase- the forth phase of the sexual response cycle, during which the body gradually returns to its prearoused state.

17.Refractory period- a period of time following a response during which an individuals is no longer responsive to stimulation. 18.Multiple orgasms-ore or more additional orgasms following the first, which occur within a short period of time and before the body has returned to a preplateau level of arousal. 19.Primary erogenous zones- erogenous zones that are particularly sensitive because they are richly endowed with nerve endings. 20.Secondary erogenous zones- erogenous zones that become especially sensitive through experience. Part C The Influences of Hormones on Sexual Behavior. The male sex hormone that drives sexuality is testosterone. Without testosterone males experience a decrease in sex drive. When a man gets a chemical or surgical castration he loses sexual desire. In the article Pedophiles on drugs(Cutts,pg.1) shows the relationship between castration and sex drive. The article stated that legally in Poland if you are convicted of rape it will be mandatory for you to be chemically castrated as a punishment to make it less likely of them raping again because castration lowers their sex drive. Men can also suffer from hypogonadal which is a loss of sexual desire and a decline in sexual activity. When puberty starts is when boys will produce testosterone and will then the adrenal glands will secret the hormone in small amounts. For females the ovaries produce small amounts of estrogen and progesterone. These two hormones will occur during puberty and will regulate the menstrual cycle. during estrus a women is at the highest risk of getting pregnant because estrogen is at its highest during ovulation. Women produce smaller amounts of androgens then men do but it does not mean that womens sex drive are not as high as men. In the article Patching up sex drive after loss of ovaries(London Times,pg.16) it stated that testosterone can be released into the body through a patch. Since these women no longer have testosterone producing ovaries this patch will make up for the loss and resulting in a better sex drive compared to without the patch. When a women can no longer produce female hormones this does not mean their sex drive will decrease but she will no longer be fertile. No longer producing female hormones can mean that she had a hysterectomy or has gone through menopause. The loss of the female hormone estradiol causes dryness and discomfort. There are estrogen-replacement therapy which helps women keep their mind right psychologically it also increases sexual desire.
