When Does Sexuality Begin?

March 19, 2016

Stages of the beginning of sexuality

beginning of sexualityThere had been times when sex and sexuality were one of the least discussed topics, they were more like taboos. But nowadays it’s perfectly normal to discuss them; these are still fairly personal but no more considered as forbidden knowledge. The terms Sexuality and sexual orientation are sometimes alternatively used for each other and to a great extant its well justified. Sexuality is about understanding your personal sexual feelings and attractions towards others while sexual orientation is exploring your sexuality and placing yourself in pre-defined categories such as heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality. There is no definite age at which sexuality begins as there are multiple environmental and social factors that are responsible for it. Biological and socially the age of beginning depends upon Gender, hormonal balance, ethnicity, family values, substance and drug use, socioeconomic makeup, religious beliefs, cultural views about sex, women liberation etc.

It’s not justified to say that sexuality only begins when a child starts understanding its environment because we all are sexual beings, even  an infant have a different overall body structure and organs distinctly a male or a female or sometimes both, these factors through some extant can predict a child’s sexual orientation. On the other hand young children are usually curious about their bodies, between ages zero to five, it is considered normal for them to touch their own body parts and also ask questions about related topics.

Gender plays a very important role in the onset of sexuality. It refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that are assigned to men and women in any given society There are defined gender roles and expectation in every society that how men and women should behave. There are cultures where it is alright for men to talk about sex whether women are expected to stay silent on these matters. They cannot be assertive about their sexual preference and orientation; simply they are not given enough liberation to express their sexual desires.

The hormonal theory of sexuality and gender identity explains in detail that, exposure to certain hormones  at early stages of development plays a very important role in fetal sex differentiation, such exposure also has a strong influence on the sexual orientation and or gender identity that emerges later in the adult. Differences in brain structure that come about from chemical messengers and genes interacting on developing brain cells are believed to be the basis of sex differences in countless behaviors, including sexual orientation. Prenatal factors that affect or interfere with the interaction of these hormones on the developing brain can influence later sex-typed behavior in children. On the other hand hormonal production and balance biologically determines the increased awareness of sexual behaviors in children. Usually children start facing hormonal changes after the age of ten that greatly impacts their attitude towards sex and sexuality.

Socioeconomic and environmental issues have long been discussed as key role players in the onset of sexuality in children. Within sound socio economic settings, children are more exposed to facilities such as internet, magazines, sex educations guides and most importantly social media at an early age. Also in cultural settings where public show of affection is culturally accepted, children possess early beginning of sexuality. They have more references to real life so they could understand their own desires in a much better way as compared to those children who do not have access to our basic information systems and facilities. The trends of proper sex education in a culture can enhance the rates of children getting involved in sexual habits at an early age. On the other hand educated families tend to be more open about sex and sex education with their children. The question “what is the appropriate age?” for discussing such personal and sensitive topics with children has haunted parents and psychologists for a long time, but now it’s an established fact that healthy sex education can greatly reduce the risk of children developing aberrant sexual habits due to wrong information from wrong sources.

In societies where children can have easy access to drugs and other similar substances, it has been seen that sexual behavioral abnormalities and early understanding of sexual practices occur as one of the many side effects of these drugs. The concept of normal and abnormal habits is totally relevant to the age of a child. There are practices that are considered for a child five years of age but the same practices are normal for a child around ten years of age.

One more important parameter in determining the commencement of sexuality is religious practices. Religious practices often forbid extra marital sex, and private habits like masturbation. From a psychological perspective it is perfectly normal a child to have inappropriate thoughts and touching their own body parts but these same practices are at time forbidden, when these practices are strictly followed, children are kept socially isolated from being getting indulged in such activities that can delay social inception of sexuality.

In conclusion, the commencement of sexuality can not only be based one or few factors, it’s a complex process which has equal involvement of biological processes and social and environmental practices around the individuals. Sexuality cannot be generalized, every individual is unique and so are their experiences towards life, there are multiple encounters that shape the sexual orientation of a child. Even once decided and sorted out, there are significant chances that a person’s sexuality can change over the period of time. These intricate matters still need a lot of discussion to answer more complex questions related to this basic knowledge. For this purpose we have arranged Integrative Addiction Conference which focuses on more sensitive issues of human sexuality and addiction. It is a great opportunity for health professionals. Students, psychologists, policy makers and every related field experts to join this platform and help build an integrated system for the solution of current problems related to above mentioned issues.

Low carbohydrate diets and health benefits

Low carbohydrate diets effectiveness and health benefits: How it works to control weight

Low carbohydrate

Low carbohydrate diets effectiveness and health benefits is offering real time solutions to weight loss problem

From the founding fathers of this discovery (low carbohydrate diets) many physicians have over the last century applied Doctor Atkins discovery in the treatment of several health conditions including obesity, diabetes, and many other health problems. Some of the applications commonly used may include low carb high fat (LCHF), Rosedale diet, Atkins, Ketogenic and Protein power. In a little while and with the help of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, we will be discussion in details low carbohydrates diets work in addressing all these health complications but in the meantime let us look at some of the benefits and side effects that may come with this application:

Prospective benefits

  • It provides the very best diet for carbohydrate-sensitive individuals
  • It encourages consumption of fatty foods which is the preference of many people
  • Improvement of energy
  • With this one may not need to count calories
  • Improvement of moods
  • It is one of the best and effective diet for weight loss
  • Possess high potential of eradicating food cravings and obsession
  • Offers good ways of managing chronic health complications

Even though the concept of low-carbohydrate diets was made popular in recent decades by Dr. Atkins, the concept was discovered very long time ago and has been in exisistance for more than a century now. Over the period quality scientific research findings have established that very low-carbohydrate diets are effective not only as a weight loss strategy, but also as a way of treating and in many cases preventing chronic conditions like diabetes, epilepsy and other common chronic diseases caused by insulin resistance. Now for us to find out how low carbohydrate diets works, we are going to seek answers to some questions as we move along in this order.

Low carbohydrate diets effectiveness and health benefits: How safe are low carbohydrate diets?

The question of safety is very vital and scientific evidence has confirmed that low carbohydrates are indeed safe. This has been further affirmed by the fact that over the years the indigenous Eskimos who were gatherers lived and thrived for centuries feeding essentially on almost carbohydrate free diet and no trace of complications were registered in them. It therefore means that the body can actually survive on a zero grams of carbohydrate and so eliminating carbohydrate from your diet will certainly not cause any harm to your health.

Besides the factors of safety highlighted above, it is important to note that, this is only applicable where one is in perfect health. That is to say if an individual is under certain medication like for instance that of any chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure, such individuals needs to be under close supervision by their physician from the initial stages of this diet. This is very necessary for the medication dosage to be proper. The reason why this is necessary is because this diet can have a powerful effect on your body chemistry quite very fast. With that the blood pressure and blood sugar can naturally fall towards more normal values even in just a few days, thereby necessitating the need for medication dosages to be reduced progressively to avoid any possible serious medication side effects.

The effectiveness of low carbohydrate diets

If one was to ask if the administration of low carbohydrates is effective the answer would be yes and not just yes but exceptionally effective. Research has established that majority of people do lose essentially more body fat much faster and more comfortably on a low carbohydrate diets in relation to other tested diets. The message being passed there is simple and direct to the point that low carbohydrate diets are much healthier than other diets simply because they improve cholesterol profiles together with blood sugar or insulin profile far much better than other diets. The reason behind this is because carbohydrates are a driving force behind cholesterol and blood sugar problems. Experts have since concluded that these diets are actually the best for patients struggling with any pre-diabetes and even diabetes type I and II, besides this category of people this diet is also suitable for all those people who are generally carbohydrate sensitive. The good news about this diet is that it has the potential to entirely reverse the complications of type I and II diabetes.

Low carbohydrate diets effectiveness and health benefits: Ketogenic diets

The most interesting thing about ketogenic diet is that besides being very low in carbohydrates, it is also very limited in protein. These characteristics enable the body to burn fat for energy effectively. Over the years these low carbohydrates diets have been used to effectively and successfully treat epilepsy and have been seen to be much more effective in relation to the anti-seizure medications in most cases. At the moment researchers are busy carrying out test with a view of finding any possibilities of cancer treatment through the application of low carbohydrate diets and any positive result in this line will be a serious break through. Finally and besides the aforementioned, low carb diet is also recommended for treatment of mental health like depression, eating disorder, anxiety and bipolar disorder.

Low carbohydrate induction phase

Like with all new things sometime of adaptation will be necessary. If you are going to begin using low carb diet for the first time, things may not be as normal in the early stages of usage. Like for instance in most cases the first few hours (24-72 hours) of being introduced on a very low-carbohydrate diet, you will be faced with some tough situations as your body makes adjust to living without dietary sugars and starches. During this period of adaptation you are likely to feel some changes in your system including being irritable, hungry, moody and tired most of the time. You could also have trouble with sleeping and just feeling restless and unease. It is however important to note that these are very normal experiences and once you get through that preliminary withdrawal period, your body shall have become adaptable to the new environment and you will be able to feel much better.

Because the body was originally designed to be burning fat, our daily practices have made it almost impossible for this function to be performed effectively thanks to the high intake of carbs. And because of this the body has over a very long period of time been changed or reduced into a tool of carbs instead of burning fat. Because of this, it is therefore necessary that the body will have to take some few weeks to completely transition to its original function of burning fats and that is why there will be such feelings during the transition period.
