Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Causes of any form of sexual dysfunction are varied. Although the reproductive system can malfunction just as any body system can, biological problems are not solely responsible for all cases. Other common causative or contributing factors include substance abuse, stress, performance pressure, exhaustion, symptoms of illness, relationship tensions, and poor communication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Student opinions will vary. Biological explanations focus on research into genetics, hormones, and differences in brain anatomy. Psychological and socioenvironmental explanations examine parent-child interactions, sex roles, and early sexual and interpersonal interactions. A multifactorial model incorporates biological, psychological, and socioenvironmental factors. Current research does not, however, support the claim that sexual orientation is a choice.
