People are likely to flock to fires but to avoid scenes of violence. How to avoid date rape: -Tell your partner how far you would like to go so that he will know what the limits are. -Meet new dates in public places, and avoid driving with a stranger or a group of people you've just met. -Be firm in refusing a sexual overture. Look your partner straight in the eye. -Listen to your "vibes". Trust your gut-level feelings. -Be especially cautious if you are in a new environment, such as college or a foreign country. -If you have broken off a relationship with someone you don't really like or feel good about, don't let him into your place.

Many colleges have mandated date rape seminars and workshops.*

They think if they can force their partner into sex "everything will be ok" *The long-term effects of partner rape on survivors are also similar to those experienced by survivors of stranger rape including: fear, depression, and sexual dysfunctions. Moreover, the woman who is raped by her husband usually continues to live with her assailant and may fear repeated attacks.*

Genetics, The Brain and Sexual Orientation
Considerable evidence exists that gay male and lesbian sexual orientation run in families. Researchers have found evidence linking a region on the X sex chromosome to a gay male sexual orientation. The tip of the X chromosome is a region that may hold a gene that predisposes men to a gay male sexual orientation. They haven't found a specific gene but a possible general location where the gene may be found. Savic & Lindstom did MRIs on the brains of 90 subjects 25-heterosexual men and women, 20 gay men and lesbians. They found that the brains of the heterosexual men and the lesbians were slightly asymmetrical; the right hemisphere was slightly larger than the left hemisphere.

Enabled the populace to anonymously accuse individuals of sodomy, During the 70 years that the office was in operation, 17,000 men were investigated as possible sodomites, nearly half of the males population of Florence throughout that period. Fewer than 3,000 were actually convicted, if they were convicted they had to pay a fine rather than going to prison. -Christians considered any non-procreative sexual act was considered sinful, even within marriage. By late Middle Ages, most civil statutes throughout Western Europe contained penalties for non-procreative sexual acts involving the discharge of semen: oral or anal sex, masturbation, male-male sexual behavior, and bestiality. Our legal system, grounded in this religious tradition, maintains criminal penalties for sexual practices commonly associated with male-male and female-female sex, such as anal and oral sex. But much of the criminalization of male-male and female-female sex has been directed against men.

Some gay people feel that saying that you are bisexual is a "cop-out" that people use to deny that they are gay. Possibly because of fear of leaving their spouse or "coming out". Others view it as sexual experimentation with people of one's own sex by people who are mostly heterosexual.
Heterosexual Orientation
Erotic attraction to, and preference for, developing romantic relationships with, members of the other sex. In absence of heterosexual outlets, adolescents and isolated populations such as prison inmates may have sexual experiences with people of their own sex while they maintain their heterosexual identities.

Like heterosexual people, they struggle to incorporate their sexuality within their personal identity, to find lovers, and to establish satisfying lifestyles.

Some gay and lesbians will marry members of the other sex but harbor unfulfilled desires for members of their own sex. Some people are bisexual but may not act on their attraction to members of their same sex.

The same brain segment was larger in the brain tissue of heterosexual men than in the brain tissues obtained from a comparison group of 6 heterosexual females. No significant differences in size were found between the brain tissues of the gay men and women.

In western culture, few sexual practices have met with such widespread censure as sexual activities with members of one's own sex. -Ancient Greece, establish men frequently formed sexual relationships with adolescent males at about the age of first growing a beard. The older man putting his penis between the younger mans thighs until he ejaculated. -Roman described highly feminine gay men who dressed flamboyantly, had showy hair styles and mannerisms, and cruised certain neighborhoods, searching for partners.

Even being humiliated by one's partner may be relatively harmless if the partner consents. Exposing oneself in public or enticing children into sexual relations, do have victims and may cause harm, sometimes severe physical or psychological harm. They are also against the law.

Kinsey Continuum
Kinsey and his colleagues conceived of a 7-point heterosexual-homosexual continuum that classifies people according to their homosexual behavior and the magnitude of their attraction to members of their own gender. People in category 0, who accounted for most of Kinsey's study participants, were considered exclusively heterosexual. People in category 6 were considered exclusively homosexual. ** Finding suggest that 10% of the US population was gay or predominantly gay, a number that dramatically exceed current estimates.** Some were considered equally gay and heterosexual in orientation and could be labeled bisexual (3). Most people were classified as exclusively heterosexual. (0) Half of the men who reported male-male sexual activity in Kinsey's sample limited it to the ages of 12-14. Another 3rd had male-male sexual experiences by the age of 18, but not again. Kinseys research showed that sexual behavior patterns can change, sometimes dramatically so. Sexual experiences or feelings involving people of one's sex are common, especially in adolescence, an do not necessarily mean that one will engage in sexual activity exclusively with people of one's own sex in adulthood. It is estimated that 2%-10% of the population is gay male or lesbian.

The drug lowers inhibitions, lessening their ability to resist sexual assault, and when it is mixed with alcohol, sometimes causing blackouts that prevent the victims from remembering the assault. *Rohypnol is also called: "the forget pill" "trip-and-fall and "the mind-eraser"* The drug has no taste or odor, so victim does not know what is happening when they sip their drink. - about 10 mins later the woman may feel dizzy and disoriented - simultaneously too hot and too cold - nauseated - She may have difficulty speaking and moving - then pass out - She may "black out" for 8-24 hours with little of no memory of what happened *Rohypnol is a prescription drug used as treatment for insomnia and as a sedative hypnotic in other countries. It is in the same class of drugs as the tranquilizer Valium, but about 10 times stronger.* It is often used with alcohol to create a dramatic "high". *Rohypnol intoxication is generally associated with: -impaired judgement, memory, motor skills and can make a victim unable to resist or recall a sexual attack. Effects begin within 30 mins, peak within 2 hours and last for up to 8 hours or more.* How to avoid problems with Rohypnol: -Be wary of accepting drink from people you do not know and trust -Do not put your drink down or leave it unattended -If you think you have been a victim notify the police immediately.
