Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital

2.2K
The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12.

The erogenous zone in this stage is the genitals, and conflicts arise as children develop desires toward the opposite-sex parent. Boys experience the Oedipus complex, where they desire their mother and view their father as a rival. This leads to castration anxiety, the...

  • Sexuality Studies

Background:

  • Historical trends in premarital sexual behavior among college students are not well-documented.
  • Understanding shifts in sexual norms is crucial for public health and social policy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze changes in the proportion of college-aged males and females participating in coital relationships.
  • To identify trends in sexual activity from 1903 to 1980.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of 35 academic studies conducted between 1903 and 1980.
  • Analysis of reported rates of coital involvement among college students.

Main Results:

  • A significant overall increase in sexual intercourse participation among college students.
  • A more rapid increase in female coital involvement compared to males, narrowing the gender gap.
  • Prior to 1970, males reported higher rates; by 1970, male and female rates became nearly equal.

Conclusions:

  • The data supports a major shift in sexual standards, moving from a double standard towards greater sexual permissiveness for both genders.
  • Current norms suggest intercourse is acceptable in love relationships and casual encounters without exploitation.
