                 Sex Effects on Human Health

There are numerous health issues that can be related to the sexual relationships. The sexually transmitted diseases are extremely risky and could lead to a life threatening situation, with most of them being preventable if detected early enough. However, even when there is no risk of transmission, there is still always some risk and people may develop some sort of disease resulting from sexual activities. It is in this context that I would like to address one of the major health concerns as it pertains to sexual behaviors.

Sex-related health problems

Sex-related diseases and other chronic conditions are more common as a result of sexual intercourse. This includes those sexually transmitted infections, venereal diseases, pregnancy complications, and certain cases of breast cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. While some of these issues are completely preventable or treatable if caught early enough, others can more often than not require treatment by surgery or chemotherapy. In addition, they can also be caused by substance use disorders or certain medical conditions. For example, many men with gonorrhea have one of the following as their primary diagnosis. Gonorrhea itself can be treated and cured by simply getting infected with the bacteria, yet some other serious diseases such as gonorrhea can have a more dangerous and deadly impact on males, leading them to need immediate attention. Other sexually transmitted infections include sexually transmitted pneumonia, urinary tract infections, as well as sexually transmitted infections of any kind. A study found that about 70 percent of sexually transmitted diseases are caused by unprotected sex. These kinds of sexually transmitted diseases are easily transmitted through contact with an infected partner.

Sex-related behaviors

Sex-related practices can enormously affect someone's overall prosperity and success. They are directly linked to sexual activity as they involve physical intimacy, as well as emotional closeness and close exposure to others and in some cases, intimate personal exposure. Many studies have focused on the relationship between sexual behavior and depression for two reasons reasons. First, they find that individuals who engage in frequent sexual intercourse are at higher risk for developing depression than those who do not indulge in such sexual activities. Secondly, many studies have shown that the levels of negative moods and thoughts tend to be high after having a night out or having sexual intercourse. Even those who abstain from all sexual relationships have high rates of anxiety after experiencing a negative emotional state during sexual arousal.

Sex-related outcomes

Sex-related outcomes are directly linked to sexual health practices and behaviors. As such, the outcome of a single sexual act or combination of sexual acts may affect the overall health of a person. Sexual health outcomes also are directly affected by sexual behaviors themselves. Some examples that relate to sexual health outcomes are HIV infection, the ability to reproduce physically, and sexual performance. It is therefore important to examine both the individual and group level aspects for any particular sexual behavior to determine the health risks and benefits.

Sexual behaviors and health risks for males and females

A good number of studies have reported the correlation between sexual behavior outcomes and health risks. Males are estimated to be two times more likely to contract sexual diseases as compared to females and have the highest risk of contracting HIV. It is estimated that sexual behaviors affect a man’s risk for acquiring HIV by three to five times. Similar to women, males also experience sexual complications that affect their sexual health.

In addition to this, there is increased research into male sexually-transmitted infections as a result of sexual interactions. Studies have shown that sexual behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions about health and health care have an influence on female sexuality and reproductive health risks. One study has shown that sexual behavior behaviors are strongly associated with decreased sexual health risks. This is supported by the study of Kortes et al. where they reported that sexual lead impacts a woman's bet for having unplanned pregnancies.

Sex-related health risks for females

An individual that engages in sexual practice is at increased risk of contracting a wide range of factors from sexually transmitted illnesses and pregnancy to sexually transmitted cancers. Because females are not aware that these are occurring at the same time and without awareness, it can be extremely hard for them to prevent themselves from contracting the disease. Additionally, they are not always able to effectively detect when they are infected by sexually transmitted diseases. Women are more likely to suffer from sexually transmitted infections due to lack of education and the inability to make informed decisions. Therefore, it is important to educate females on how to protect themselves and how to identify symptoms. Research has shown a strong link between sexually transmitted infections and poor health outcomes, especially among females. As a result, it is required to conduct extensive research and development on how to better understand the role played by sexually transmitted diseases and other health complications in females.

Sex-related health risks for males

Men are three times more likely to engage in sexual practices for one reason. Men are more prone to get involved with multiple partners due to their nature of sex and because they are at increased risk of contracting a number of sexually transmitted diseases. Due to their nature of sexual practices and frequent partners, men are less likely to take preventive measures. Most studies have shown that a majority of sexually-transmitted infections and diseases are sexual-associated. In fact, the greatest risk factors for sexually transmitted infections include sexual orientation that does not conform to conventional gender roles. With the prevalence of sexual health risks higher among women as compared to men, it is important that studies be conducted to determine whether male sexually-transmitted diseases are riskier as compared to females. Furthermore, it is also crucial to make sure that programs and policies such as mandatory sterilization of the penis and condom use for men do not put men at greater risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Sex-related health risks for females

The prevalence of sexually-transmitted infections and diseases is significantly higher amongst females, which increases the likelihood of contracting STDs. Females also engage in more sexual practices and behaviors for one reason, which are very risky. During sexual intercourse, there are heightened chances for a female to be exposed to sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Because females are more concerned about their own sexual health and are usually the ones to provide their bodies with protection, they are more likely to engage in unsafe sexual practices like masturbation and anal sex. This is in fact, one of the main causes of sexually transmitted diseases as the female partner uses the body for protection.

In addition to this, females are more prone to engage in multiple, casual sexual relationships due to the same reasons, which increase the risk of engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse. Female sexual partners frequently share bed space, and therefore come into closer proximity to each other while not wearing a condom. Because of their sexual relations, one partner is more likely to be sexually or physically aroused and the other needs to use protection. Also, females enjoy sexual pleasures such as orgasms with less fear and more enjoyment from sexual experiences. Both females and males engage in multiple sexual activities for one reason; to satisfy sexual desires that exist within the body as females are more dependent on bodily functions and systems and thus, less likely to think much about their sexual health and practices. Since females are more likely to engage in sexual activities alone, a problem with their self-esteem or confidence might arise, increasing the likelihood that they will engage in unprotected sexual interaction.

Sex-related health consequences for males and females

Sex-related health consequences are connected to sexual health behaviors and health risks that are associated to sexual activities and sex-related behaviors. Males have a greater risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections as compared to females, which is because females are generally unaware that they are engaging in sexual activities with others. Male sexual activities engage more with several partners. This leads to the spread and spread of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, causing serious and sometimes fatal health effects.

Sex-related health consequences for females and males are not directly linked to sexual health behaviors but rather to attitudes in society towards and beliefs around sexual health. Male sexual behavior is driven by the internal drive of wanting to satisfy his sexual urges and sexual desires which can lead to multiple sexual partners. Although male sexual behavior is determined by his own sexual desire, female sexual behavior is determined by the external force of society.

Sex-related health circumstances and health risks for females

Sex-related health circumstances and health risks are directly linked to the mental and physical health of a person or group, which have been shown to be significantly correlated in females and males by past studies. Mental health is also affected in females in the way that it is related with the mental health of males and vice versa. Specifically, males are known to be affected by mental changes such as anxiety attacks and paranoia, especially in the first months of marriage. This has been observed to affect females in that females can perceive themselves as a threat to their husbands or as an issue or worry. Another issue with sexual behavior is addiction and the possibility of over being exposed to sexual stimuli due to repeated sexual activities and behaviors. The psychological distress and physical harm related to social norms and social pressures can lead to behavioral changes, which are then responsible for negative health outcomes. Social factors and attitudes that expose groups to multiple, repeated sexual interactions can lead to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

Sex-related health risks for females and males

Sex-related health risks and health consequences of sexual behaviors and behaviors can only be fully addressed if we address the health risks and consequences of sexual behaviors that are correlated to health risks and health consequences. In most cases, health risks that are associated to sexual behaviors and sexual practices are caused by the direct transmission of sexually transmitted infections and diseases from men to females, where the female is the female partner and the male is the male partner. Men are more likely to get involved with multiple partners in sexual practices, which increases the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and infections. In addition, the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections and diseases is greatly dependent on the sexual intercourse act, which makes it easier for a female companion to contract and spread sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Finally, environmental factors influence the
