Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
As sexually active adults develop intimate relationships, they learn techniques of stimulation that are satisfying to both themselves and their sexual partners. Some adults need permission or af-firmation that alternative ways of sexual expression other than penile-vaginal intercourse are normal. While the other options prove acceptance, they are not as sensitive in their wording or address the issue as completely.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Adolescence is often a time when individuals explore their primary sexual orientation. Although the behavior should not be discouraged or encouraged, in order to avoid undo stress on the ado-lescent, the experimentation should be viewed as an acceptable way to determine sexual orienta-tion.
