What are the PSychological perspective on HUman Sexuality?

Answer 1

One of the most powerful human drives is that of our sexuality. Sigmund Freud stipulated that most of our emotional energy is of a sexual nature. Many of his disciples disagreed including Jung and Adler, the latter maintaining that personality difficulties are rooted in a feeling of inferiority (see complex) deriving from restrictions on the individual's need for self-assertion. We experienced sweeping changes in sexual mores in Western societies in the latter half of the 20th century. They range from growing social tolerance of divorce, Birth Control, abortion, and premarital and extramarital sex, to movements for women's liberation and gay rights, to changing perceptions of men's and women's roles in the home and the workplace.
