Theories of Sexuality and Gender

• Life History Theory
• A.J. Figueredo, Ph.D. The Evolutionary
  Perspective
• In the aftermath of AJs talk, some notes on The
  Evolutionary Perspective
• In each species, some individuals are better
  adapted to their environment than others.
  Better-adapted members are more likely to survive
  to pass on genes to subsequent generations.
• Genes are the basic units of heredity. The
  particular combination of genes that one inherits
  from ones parents determines the individuals
  characteristics.
• The theory of evolutionary psychology proposes
  that certain behavior patterns, including
  patterns of sexual behavior, are genetically
  transmitted.
• In response to various social and cultural
  forces, people show different levels of sexual
  desire.
• Evolution is not moralistic. A trait either does
  or does not enhance reproductive success.

  have most influenced your viewpoints (some things
  to consider religion, friends, family, age,
  hometown, TV and movies, etc.)?
• Do you have any prejudices regarding sexuality?
  Why do you feel you have these?
• Would you be able to stay friends with someone
  who held very different values related to
  sexuality? Why or why not?
