Objectives

1. Each student will gauge his/her attitude toward sexuality through use of a survey.
2. The students will list the secondary sex changes during adolescence.
3. The students will identify male and female anatomy and the function of the organs.
4. The students will explain the stages of the menstrual cycle.
5. The students will describe how human conception occurs.
6. The students will describe the stages of fetal development to birth.
7. The students will identify different means of contraception and the effectiveness of each.
8. The students will explain the causes, prevention, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

I. Survey of Students’ Outlook

Rationale

The teacher should be aware of student attitude prior to the teaching of the unit. At this point a survey covering the areas of self-concept, attitude, and general knowledge of sexual facts will afford the students an opportunity to express themselves. It will also allow insight as to the instructional needs of the students. Pre- and post-administration of the survey can measure the influence of the unit’s effectiveness.

Information

Each culture has specific rules and practices surrounding the initiation of an individual into adulthood. The universality of cultural and societal rules as applied to sexual experiences has been documented in the research of Margaret Mead and other noted anthropologists. The point should be made that the essential features of sexual instinct are present from conception and influenced by life experience.

Lesson Plan

(Administer the survey)

Introduce the unit by discussing the information section. Explain to students the importance of each person’s opinion and the need to respect everyone’s ideas. Each student should have an opportunity to express ideas. Pass out the survey (or part of it) and have students complete it independently.

II. Changes in Adolescence

Rationale

The normal changes that occur during adolescence may have a less traumatic effect if the individual fully understands what will happen to his/her body during puberty. It is important to stress the variation in individual growth rates. Students should not become alarmed if their bodies or social maturity does not match their peers’.

Information

During puberty the pituitary gland signals the body to release hormones which stimulate physical and emotional changes.

Males—usually starts between 12 and 16 years of age:

1. grows taller and heavier
2. growth of different parts at different rates (i.e. hands and feet grow first)
3. growth of hair (face, underarms, chest, legs, and around sex organs)
4. oilier skin and hair
5. appearance of pimples or acne
6. perspires a great deal
7. change in voice—lower and deeper (cracking or breaking of voice during the change)

Females—usually starts between 9 and 16 years of age:

1. growth and filling out of breasts; larger rounder hips and buttocks
2. increased rate of growth
3. growth of hair (underarms, legs, and around sex organs)
4. oilier skin and hair
5. appearance of pimples or acne
6. perspires a great deal
7. begins to have her period.

Males and Females:

1. becomes more aware of the opposite sex
2. becomes more conscious of appearance (own and others)
3. becomes more concerned with cleanliness

IV. Menstrual Cycle

Rationale

Menstruation is the normal process of the female

reproductive system which has emotional as well as physical

effects on the body. In order to understand conception,

students should know the stages of the menstrual cycle

and the hormonal influence on the body. It is necessary

to address the specific problem of personal hygiene

during menstruation.

Information

A. Menstruation—periodic cycle involving hormonal, physical, and psychological changes
____ 1. Beginning of menstruation (menarche)—age 9 to 16; end of menstruation (menopause)
____ —age 45 to 55
____ 2. Involves production of an egg and preparation of the uterus for pregnancy, and its return to an “unprepared” state if pregnancy does not occur
____ 3. Lasts about 28 days in women, about 31 days in teenage girls
B. Cycle is continuous and divided into 4 stages
____ 1. Two events must take place:
____ ____ a. maturing of an egg in the ovary
____ ____ b. beginning preparation of uterus in case egg is fertilized
____ 2. Ovulation—mature egg breaks through outer wall of one ovary
____ 3. Thickening of uterine wall; movement of egg through one Fallopian tube toward the uterus (3-4 days)
____ 4. Menstruation (period)—thickened lining of uterus breaks down
____ ____ a. cellular material, fluids, and small amount of blood lost through vagina
____ ____ b. Lasts 3 to 7 days

____ 2. need not interfere with any physical activity
D. Products to absorb menstrual flow
____ 1. Sanitary napkins—used with belt or by adhesive strip sticking to underpants
____ 2. Tampons—inserted into vagina
E. Sex and menstruation
____ 1. not dangerous; no medical reason to avoid intercourse during period
____ 2. Less chance of becoming pregnant, but not completely “safe” time

V. Sexual Response

Rationale

Among the increasing responsibilities of adolescence is decision-making surrounding dating. This portion of the unit should be preceded with discussion of the issue of human sexual response and its relation to social maturity and peer pressure. The foundations of mutually nurturing interpersonal relationships rest on open communication between partners. It is essential to stress the importance of the partners’ honest sharing of feelings before beginning sexual activity. The physical and emotional act of sexual intercourse is the expression of the partners’ strong attraction for one another. Sexual partners should be aware of not only the positive outcomes but also the negative consequences as well.

Information

A. Dating
____ 1. Sharing feelings
____ ____ a. talking together
____ ____ b. body contact—necking
____ ____ c. body contact—petting (deliberately stimulating the person’s sex organs using hand or mouth)
____ ____ d. involving loving feelings for the other person
____ 2. Sexual activities—foundations for meaning and enjoyment
____ ____ a. both partners consent—involves decisionmaking
____ ____ b. atmosphere of relaxation—externally and internally (body hygiene necessary for enjoyment)
____ ____ c. foreplay—deepening of sharing (kissing, caressing, petting)
____ 1. causes erection in male
____ 2. causes female to secrete liquid along vaginal lining
____ 3. Decision-making
____ ____ a. negative consequences of premarital sex
____ ____ ____ 1. unexpected emotional involvement erroneously interpreted as long-term commitment
____ ____ ____ 2. unwanted pregnancy
____ ____ ____ 3. guilt and regret—violating moral codes of parents or religion
____ ____ ____ 4. feeling “conned” or “used”
____ ____ ____ 5. possibilities of V.D.
____ ____ b. positive consequences of premarital sex
____ ____ ____ 1. Learning pleasure of sexual response within a loving healthy relationship
____ ____ ____ 2. feeling good about your body—attractive, desirable
____ ____ ____ 3. deepening the sense of intimacy and caring
____ ____ ____ 4. Learning about sexual functioning
____ ____ ____ 5. Learning about sexual responsibility
B. Sexual Intercourse
____ 1. Physical act (coitus)—man’s penis enters the woman’s vagina
____ ____ a. before intercourse
____ ____ ____ 1. male—penis becomes erect
____ ____ ____ 2. female—does not have to be sexually aroused, but usually vagina becomes lubricated making it easier for the penis to enter the vagina
____ ____ b. during intercourse
____ ____ ____ 1. couples move rhythmically
____ ____ ____ 2. penis moves in and out of the vagina
____ ____ ____ 3. may be kissing, touching, making sounds, expressing feeling
____ ____ ____ 4. continues until both reach orgasm
____ ____ c. after intercourse
____ ____ ____ 1. relax, talk or continue to pet
____ ____ ____ 2. if couple decides to have intercourse again, they must wait until male is able to have another erection
____ 2. Conception
____ ____ a. (at orgasm) semen ejaculated into vagina
____ ____ b. sperm swim into uterus then into Fallopian tubes
____ ____ ____ 1. several hundred sperm reach there
____ ____ ____ 2. Live for 72 hours or longer
____ ____ c. fertilization—sperm joins egg
____ ____ ____ 1. if egg arrives in the tube while sperm are there, it can become fertilized
____ ____ ____ 2. egg can only be fertilized within 24 hours after entering Fallopian tube
____ ____ ____ 3. once one sperm cell fertilizes the egg, other sperm cells cannot enter the egg (If more than one sperm penetrates the egg, it dies.)

(Note: Possible for pregnancy to occur even if actual intercourse has not taken place. If during petting or sex play, the male ejaculates semen near the opening of the vagina, it is possible for some of the semen to get into the vagina.)

____ 3. Genetics
____ ____ a. chromosomes—joining of 23 chromosomes from the mother’s egg with 23 chromosomes from father’s sperm; embryo resulting with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
____ ____ b. genes—each section of a chromosome responsible for transmitting characteristics from parent to off-spring
____ ____ ____ 1. physical traits are inherited from one’s parents
____ ____ ____ 2. genes are either dominant or recessive (dominant traits overshadow recessive traits)—example: father with brown eyes, a mother with blue eyes—the offspring will most likely have brown eyes since “brown-eyedness” is a dominant gene.
____ ____ c. sex determination—sex of offspring is controlled by chromosomes in the sperm cell
____ ____ ____ 1. male sperm cells have XY pair of chromosomes
____ ____ ____ 2. female cells have XX pair of chromosomes

(ex. When sperm cell fertilizes an egg, the embryo becomes a female it is is XX or male if it is XY)

____ ____ b. also depends on whether the woman has someone to share the experience with or not
____ 6. sexual intercourse is allowed during pregnancy, unless medically or emotionally hazardous
E. Fetal Development

VII. Contraception

Rationale

Contemporary social mores dictate that careful decisions be made concerning the use of contraception. It is important to stress that people do have some control regarding reproduction. With current medical knowledge, one can limit the number of offspring, avoid an inopportune time to become pregnant, or determine not to have any children at all. Throughout this portion of the unit, the partnership of those engaged in sexual relations should be stressed, with particular emphasis placed upon the shared responsibility for contraception.

The information exposes the individual to the purpose of contraception and how it may be utilized positively in order to achieve one’s future goals, especially regarding partnership and family. The specific methods, devices, and surgical techniques are presented in a comparative manner, stressing use, effectiveness, and possible side effects. Abortion is handled as an optional means of terminating a pregnancy, a “back-up” technique in the event that one’s primary method of contraception has failed.

Contraception Lesson Plan

In order to present the facts to the students, we put all of the information on charts

Step 1. Pass out the charts to each student and discuss each form of contraception. (Which partner uses it, effectiveness, etc.)
Step 2. Bring in each contraceptive device—ex. plain their use—pass around the room for students to examine.
Step 3. Have a guest speaker (someone associated with a hospital or clinic) to redo step 2. Also this person can answer any questions the students may have and tell the students where to go for help.
Step 4. Contraception Ditto for students to complete in class.

B. Abortion—termination or end of pregnancy
____ 1. Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)—natural termination of a pregnancy, usually occurring during the first sixteen weeks
____ 2. Induced abortion—not natural; caused by an outside agent
____ ____ a. dilation and curettage (D and C)—a metal instrument (dilator) holds open the cervix, while a sharp metal instrument (curette) scrapes the embryo and placenta off the walls of the uterus
____ ____ b. vacuum or suction method—a tube is inserted into the uterus and mild suction is used to suck out the growing embryo
____ ____ c. saline injection—hormones and chemicals are injected into the bloodstream or uterus causing labor to begin so that the fetus is pushed out
____ ____ d. hysterotomy—surgery to remove fetus
____ 3. Safety of abortion
____ ____ a. within the first 12 weeks—relatively simple procedure
____ ____ b. from the 13th to 20th week—more complicated
____ ____ c. after the 20th week—for legal reasons, difficult to get an abortion Abortion should not be considered a primary means of birth control but can be considered a back-up measure in case contraception fails.

Abortion was legalized in 1973, but is surrounded by much controversy. Opposing views:

prolife—fetus is a living being from moment of conception; abortion is murder
pro abortion—fetus is alive but cannot survive outside mother’s body; therefore, abortion is not murder of another separate human being
pro-choice—woman’s body is the host of the child and she undergoes many dangerous risks in pregnancy; she should have the choice whether to carry or abort

A feasible alternative to abortion is adoption.
