Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the colonial period, Indian intellectuals--philologists, lawyers, scientists and literary figures--all sought to hold a mirror to their country. Whether they wrote novels, polemics, or scientific treatises, all sought a better understanding of society in general and their society in particular. Curiously, female sexuality and sexual behavior play an outside role in their writing. The figure of the prostitute is ubiquitous in everything from medical texts and treatises on racial evolution to anti-Muslim polemic and studies of ancient India. In this book, Durba Mitra argues that between the 1840s and the 1940s, the new science of sexuality became foundational to the scientific study of Indian social progress. The colonial state and an emerging set of Bengali male intellectuals extended the regulation of sexuality to far-reaching projects that sought to define what society should look like and how modern citizens should behave. An exploration of this history of social scientific thought offers new perspectives to understand the power of paternalistic and deeply violent claims about sexual norms in the postcolonial world today. These histories reveal the enduring authority of scientific claims to a tradition that equates social good with the control of women's free will and desire. Thus, they managed to dramatically reorganize their society around upper-caste Hindu ideals of strict monogamy"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: none, - (C.M.J.University), course: Ph.D (sociology) - Social Science, language: English, comment: Adolescent all over the world experience sex-related problems. In India, this age group forms 21.4 percent of the total population. In India there is a resistance to the concept of 'adolescence. Aside from these objections to the relevance of the concept of adolescence to the Indian scenario, it is also arguable whether the term itself is valid. This paper attempts to understand the sex related problems facing the Adolescent in India and the urgent need for educating adolescents' on their reproductive health issues., abstract: Adolescent all over the world experience sex-related problems. India India too, they are remarkable in their similarity. The cause could vary from country to country. For example, while in the USA there is a teenage out-of-wedlock pregnancy every three seconds and a sexually transmitted disease every 13 seconds, in India most of the pregnancies occur within marriage and no statistics on sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents are available. It is considered to be high and perhaps equal to the USA figures. The process of adolescence is a period of preparation for adulthood during which time several key developmental experiences occur. Besides physical and sexual maturation, these experiences include movement toward social and economic independence, and development of identity, the acquisition of skills needed to carry out adult relationships and roles, and the capacity for abstract reasoning. Almost any of the physical changes occurring during adolescent can cause concern to the boy or the girl. The onset of puberty gives the physical excitement never experienced before. The adolescent reacting to these experiences is excited, often without realizing what is happening to him. Some react with pleasure or excitement and some others experience shame, disgust, con

Download or read book Love in a Different Climate written by Jeremy Seabrook and published by Verso. This book was released on 1999 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this carefully researched and finely written work, Jeremy Seabrook deals with subjects rarely discussed in Western narratives about South Asia. Going beyond a straightforward contextualisation of the gatoei (lady-boys) in Thailand and the hijara (eunuchs) of India, he unravels the less familiar and more complex territory of homosexual and homoerotic encounters in general, and asks how valid Western models of sexual identity are in the South Asian context, and how effective they might be in dealing with global issues of sexual health, HIV awareness and gender politics. Much of the book is based on interviews which reveal the extent of the complexity at play: wives who traditionally vacate the marital bed to accommodate their husbands' friends; kotis—"passive" male sex partners of men—many of whom will be married but see their relations with the kotis as fulfilling their destinies as males; the fundamentalist politicians who curse the Western influence of "gay liberation" and continue to justify the punishment of life imprisonment for homosexuality; and the activist groups who are working towards a clearer and more helpful understanding of contemporary issues. The first work of its kind on India, Love in a Different Climate reveals how a traditional shrouding in mystery of sexual difference is slowly but surely giving way to a more open and essentially local celebration of that difference.

Download or read book India s Gender Divided Sex Behavior written by Nilanjan Raghunath and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the misinterpretation of survey data of gender-divided sex behavior in India and argues that the misinterpretation of statistics can mislead policy makers and present challenges in policy making. Some academic and media interpretations have indicated that Indian premarital sex rates have risen sharply in recent decades. On close examination these reports appear to have misrepresented the data. For instance, small-scale local surveys have been portrayed as representative while research on one age cohort has been reported as if it had covered multiple decades. In contrast, the National Family Health Survey, which is a multi-decade national survey, asked detailed questions on sexual history, shows small but statistically significant declines in female pre-marital sexual activity from the late 1960s (2.4%) to the 1990s (1.7%) (IIPS, 2006a). During the same time period male premarital sex rates have increased from 9.8% to 20.0%. This observed gender gap in sex behavior calls for special male-focused policy response.

Download or read book The Cultural Context of Sexual Pleasure and Problems written by Kathryn S. K. Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using rich case material and research presented by distinguished authorities in the fields of sex, couple, family, and psychotherapy, this edited book contributes to our efforts to help individuals and couples increase their sexual satisfaction. The authors explore social and cultural backgrounds, the meaning of sexual problems in specific cultural contexts, and the way in which culture presents challenges to traditional psychotherapy. More importantly, they answer the question: should therapists accept any and all behaviors, values, and attitudes that are considered normal, even if they violate the therapist’s own cultural standards? The case studies identify challenging cultural issues and provide clinicians with culturally sensitive treatment options. The book’s sections also separate chapters based on the degree to which psychological treatments are recognized and utilized for dealing with sexual problems in different countries, making it an ideal reference for professionals and students. The concluding chapter looks at culture through the lens of the provider, rather than the patient, and ties together the major themes and questions posed.
