SEXUALITY: Sexuality is a set of anatomical, physiological and emotional features of each sex.
is also the set of emotional and behavioral phenomena related to sex, marking a decisive human beings at all stages of development.
The concept of sexuality includes both the sexual impulse, directed towards immediate gratification and reproduction, such as different aspects of the psychological relationship with one's body (feeling man, woman or both at once) and expectations social role. In everyday life, sexuality plays a major role because, from the standpoint of emotional and relationship between people, goes far beyond the reproductive purpose of the rules or sanctions that society provides.
addition to sexual and emotional union between persons of different gender (see heterosexuality), there are relationships between persons of the same genus (see homosexuality) that even with a long tradition (already existed in ancient Greece and in many other cultures ) are priced in the negative Actulamente and even cause social discrimination.
SEXUALITY IN THE WEST: In Western society, sexuality should not depart from two basic principles: mutual consent and overcoming self-censorship, so that each individual accepts himself, although it sometimes required to achieve difficult balance between individual inclinations and certain prejudices and social atavism.

COMMUNITY INTEGRATED COMMUNITY GLBT = Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Transsexual GAY
: The word gay (noun or adjective) refers to people who are attracted to the same sex, and is synonymous with homosexual. Refers almost exclusively to men. Women are often called lesbians. So, to avoid confusion we often speak of "gays and lesbians."
Most gays, especially the younger generation, refuse to use the term homosexual, considering clinical connotations, and because it emphasizes the sexual act, rather than attraction, romantic relationships and gay culture. The term homosexual is also reminiscent of an era in which same-sex relationships were considered a psychiatric illness.
The term "homosexual" is a recent invention (XIX century) and corresponds to a union is not clear from a Greek word and the other Latino, as more accurate translation would be "same sex", a term that can work as an adjective but not as nouns. Thus, a serious sex marriage same-sex marriage, but refer to someone as "gay" or homosexual person etymologically mean "same sex", something meaningless. Taking all this into account, we recommend using the term "gay" to refer to people who prefer erotic-romantic relationships with others of the same sex.
HOMOSEXUAL: 1. Affected individual is said of homosexuality. 2. Said of the erotic relationship between individuals of the same sex. 3. Of or pertaining to homosexuality.
HOMOSEXUALITY: 1. Tilt the erotic relationship with individuals of the same sex. 2. Practice of the relationship.
Lesbian: Female homosexual.
Female homosexuality is also called lesbianism, although it should be said lesbians (as lesbian), and the suffix "ism" is pejorative, as with the word "homosexuality." The adjective caesarean is a lesbian or lesbian. This term refers to the ancient Greek poet Sappho, the Greek island of Lesbos (Mytilene present in the Aegean Sea), whose poems describing their passionate love for her friends and life surrounded by other women, which earned him reputation as a homosexual.
BISEXUAL: Describes a person who practices alternative homosexuals with heterosexuals.
in human sexuality, a bisexual person can fall in love, feel sexual attraction or sexual relations with persons of both sexes. Note that bisexuals often have a preference, whether to men or to women. TRANSSEXUAL
: Said of a person by hormone treatment and surgery becomes sexual characters of the opposite sex.
A transsexual is a person who having been born with a given biological sex, trying to become the opposite, by permanent physical changes.
Transgender people are often associated with the GLBT community or homosexual, and some are identified with this community, others do not. It should be noted that transsexuality is not associated or dependent on sexual orientation (homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality).
men and transgender women have the same variety of sexual orientations that have non-transsexual people. In fact, they invariably use terms to refer to sexual orientation related to their "kind of destiny." For example, a transsexual birth which was assigned the male gender but who identifies as a woman and you only attract men, identified as heterosexual, not as gay, and a transsexual who was assigned female sex at birth, that man and prefers to sit out with other men, are considered gay, not straight.
Transsexualism should not be confused with cross-dressing (dressing in clothes of the opposite gender) or the behavior of drag queens, people who could be described as transgender, but usually not transsexual. Similarly, fetishistic transvestism has little to do with transsexualism.
Crossdressing: For many centuries women had vetoed them play any role in the stage, whatever the artistic expression to be executed (Theater, dance, opera, etc). Therefore, men should assume the female roles, dressing up and assuming the characterization of the behavior of women. Here you can find the source of cross-dressing.
must limit assumes that a person only through the clothing, glitter, makeup and hair styling both physical appearance of the opposite sex behavior, but not necessarily have a real identity to him.
TRANSGENDER: A term that describes a wide range of people who experience and / or express their gender differently than you would expect most people. It is a term widened to include transgender people, transvestites, as well as all that or those expressing gender characteristics that do not correspond with characteristics traditionally associated with sex (or sex it is assumed) of the person. Transgender is not a sexual orientation. Some transgender people may be defined as female-to-male or male-to-female, and can take hormones prescribed by a doctor and get gender reassignment surgery. Others identify as transgender because they do not feel comfortable with male or female only.
Transsexual is a medical term that describes a person whose gender and sex are not aligned, and who often seek medical treatment to align their bodies with their gender identity. Transvestites are identified with their gender of birth, but sometimes dress in clothing of the opposite gender. Transvestite is a psychiatric term describing a man who regularly wears women's clothes or a woman who wears men's clothes for sexual gratification. Many people who are not heterosexual crossdress and / or not do so for sexual gratification, which is why many people who express their transgender nature thus prefer the terms transvestites, drag, drag king "or" drag queen. " Many
transgenders and transsexuals are gay, lesbian or bisexual.
STRAIGHT: 1. It is said of individuals who practice heterosexuality. 2. Said of the erotic relationship between individuals of different sex. 3. Of or pertaining to heterosexuality.
STRAIGHT: 1. Sexual orientation to the other sex. 2. Practice of heterosexual erotic relationship.
also refer to sexual orientation, the term also refers to heterosexual sexual behavior between people of opposite sex. Many animal species (those that have sex and internal fertilization), including is the human species reproduce by heterosexual sex.
Sexual Orientation: Sexual orientation, preference or sexual orientation characterizes the object of amorous desires, erotic fantasy or an individual. Sexual orientation is usually classified on the basis of sex or unwanted people:
* heterosexual (to the opposite sex)
* homosexual (same-sex)
* bisexual (equally suitable for both sexes )
* asexual (it has no inclination). In this case it may happen that the desire is in another direction, for example: craving for sweets.
has not yet been found indications that there would be a sexual orientation regardless of the circumstances. We assume that there is a significant part of the population, as in the whole animal kingdom, a more or less heterosexual impulsivity prepared by nature, but the persistent hypotheses of genetic predisposition is any issue, by the difficulty of explaining by a process of natural selection. For now, the influence of environment where one lives is the idea evoked.
sexual orientation, whether innate or acquired origin is attributed to feelings and concepts personal sexual behavior of a person may be different from their orientation.
Identity: 2. Set of traits of an individual or a collective that differentiate it from others. 3. Awareness that a person has to be herself and unlike any other. 4. Being someone or something is the same as or searching.
Homophobia: The term homophobia refers to aversion, hatred, fear, prejudice or discrimination against gay men or women, but also includes others who make up sexual diversity, as is the case of persons bisexual and transgender.
A person who suffers from homophobia told "homophobic" (noun), while the corresponding adjective is "homophobic" (for example, "homophobic person.")
While homophobia is not a psychiatric term and there is no such thing as "homophobia clinic," there are individuals in this state acquires pathological very radical ends, frames with other mental health disorders.
The phenomenon of homophobia continues to be studied by psychologists and psychiatrists. Some studies have linked the hatred of homosexuality or transgender repressed homosexual feelings. Theorists Gender linked to homophobia with the dominant patriarchal culture, which also discriminate against women.
Others have turned their attention to the relationship of the homophobia with some specific mental structures of the personality, and more specifically to the authoritarian personality. UNDERSTANDING

Transvestism Gina Alva
Men dress as women??
transvestism in its simplest definition is the "dress code as the image of the opposite sex itself", implying sex: genital sex.
However, things are much more complicated. Basically
There are four kinds of cross-dressing. Some originating in their own sexuality and that is based on sexual identity.
Fetish Crossdressing Transvestism as an expression of one's sexuality is simply a kind of fetishism, and do not necessarily sexual identity of the practitioner. There are men who are men inside and yet, they enjoy imitating women for erotic, fantasy is a form of self-transposition into sex objects, and virtual approach to it. In short, is a somewhat surprising way of making love without the partner is present and can be regarded as a deviation from the endogenous psychology and social subject. Crossdressing
histrionic and theatrical expression Transvestism or transformers is one of many forms of artistic expression and if it is difficult for a well-known actor like him come dressed as a woman, who is truly an actor can do with high quality and supported by characterizing that seek to obtain the ideal person according to the script or libretto for the work. There are "actors" who repeatedly act like women, are called "Performers" in the world of theater light, it has spread to television. The action itself must be added to the suspicion that the constant is a characterization of any other forms of transvestism. Homosexual
Crossdressing Transvestism as a form of courtship in homosexual prostitution is the device used by the gay prostitute in front of their customers but also homosexuals hidden (closet homosexual) they will feel less guilty when interacting with someone having at least the appearance of a woman. The transvestite prostitute street uses of unsafe homosexual to increase its customer base through cross-dressing. Existential
Crossdressing Transvestism as an expression of sexual identity implies that the psyche is not the bottom line with the actual physical sex and sexual personality with public (social sex acquired). Then brings the production of a private sexual personality to resolve the conflict between identity and sexual morphology, or appearance. Therefore, from the subjective viewpoint of the practitioner, is at the moment when the person reconnects sexual drive and coherence, and at least feel transvestite.
THEN ...
WHEN a man dressed in women is not a transvestite?
The person being identified through identification, feels transvestite only when forced to produce an appearance according to their physical sex, ie, when other people perceive as sexually congruent (Paradoxical is not it?).
Normally, cross-dressing by identification with the opposite sex physically, progressing to higher states of anxiety and internal pressure to restore sexual drive (ie gender dysphoria), to assume the condition of transsexualism that consciously or unconsciously lives since the beginning of l life, and initiate a full sexual transition (anatomical, genital, social and legal).
A person who has completely transformed his physical and genital sex, transvestite can no longer be any point of view, it is taking on the look for the physical sex of their innate psychosexual identity.
Since a person's sexual identity born transsexual is often hidden by the ego socialized from childhood sexual (read sexual personality induced) occurs in those cases that transvestism is the generation of alternative sexual personality (mostly private), and usually for a long time the only way to acquire subjective sexual consistency, until at some point, sexual identity is taken with full awareness (which requires self-recognition of one's instincts, recovery of self-esteem and personal independence), to act from self , uninhibitedly and not from social conditioning.
The momentary encounter with its own coherent sexual truth, that the person transvestite experience when he takes the sexual personality is consistent with deep sexual identity, it produces states of euphoria and joy that release their sexual energy naturally and can lead to orgasm. In turn, any state of arousal of the person whose sexual identity has not yet become public and permanent, automatically makes fundamental sexual identity emerges as the sexual instincts inherent in the individual is awakened and activated, and the ensuing irrepressible desire to express, which in the stage of everyday masking of identity is still in the act episodic crossdressing.
In this sense, sexual and psychological response elated that some psychiatrists call "autogynephilia" is in fact a true indicator of a person's sexual identity, sexual and consistency that comes with the alignment of its shape, its appearance and personality with his sexual identity. In no event autogynephilia (read like themselves) can be taken as a symptom of a mental disorder suffered by a male gender, but the sign of being in the presence of a woman's psychological stage of full recognition of their identity true sexual.
Transvestism in this case is neither a sexual act, not a psychological deviation of the subject, but the manifestation of her true sexual personality, conditioned and limited by their inappropriate genital anatomy, and is the vehicle for the gradual recovery of their sexual integrity. As the practice of cross-dressing allows it to reach fully recognized in their feelings of gender and finally begin adjusting their physical sex and social, sexual drive will ultimately peace of his soul and the eradication of his hitherto latent conflict transsexual.

Different facets of the word trans
these days talk about transsexuality is a bit difficult because we generally know very little this does not mean that there is no material on this subject, there are some thoughts, articles and even some works devoted to this, but few more so full of prejudice and confusion.
Currently, there is a concern for "understanding", classify and identify transsexuality. People and society in general, is egregious mess and even confusing homosexuality, transgender, intersex, transvestism and transsexualism. Even the media and some well-meaning, contribute to the confusion of terms related to sexual diversity, language seems Salvadoran with crossover cables are not very clear, and tend to confuse one thing and another.
other hand, there are many prejudices, ideas rooted in concepts that have nothing to do with the reality of l @ s transsexual, who only respond to part of your reality, but rather biased and unilateral, little flexible to the discussion. Something similar to "all transsexuals mimic the prototype more exaggerated femininity," "all are and want to be a marginal," which women believe, "" feminine appearance is linked to transsexuality ", etc. ... (Almost all of these ideas are related to the transsexuals, because in the reverse case is less, and there seems to a lesser extent). Today
, transsexuality is considered, not as a sexual orientation, but as part of sexual identity, ie men and women are transsexual, independent of sexual orientation. With this, it is to end the misunderstanding or the fact that diversity, by unknown, it considers all under the same name. This is where it becomes important or desirable to differentiate what is the sexual identity of the subject orientation of sexual desire. In other words, identity answers the cuestionante Who am I, and is associated with feelings of adequacy and inadequacy sex, this classifies us in women or men, and in our particular case, as male or female transsexual. Sexual orientation responds to the question "who attracts me?, And relates to who we are attracted to sexually, this we classified as heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or asexual.
As the orientation and identity are two completely different realities, are in reality all combinations of one or the other. In this case we understand that just as there are men and women who are accepted as such and are heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or asexual transsexuals may also like men, women, both or none.
In addition, it is valuable in this section, clarifying the differences between transvestism, transgender and transsexual. We therefore consider that:
transvestism is wearing the clothing of another gender, eye transvestite person may feel very identified with their gender and only experience the pleasure of wearing apparel for the other sex, has nothing to do with its identity sexual orientation. When it becomes permanent in an individual merges with the transgender.
Transgender is a gender change in relation to sex. That is, transgender people experience the opposite gender to their sex, and generally do not want sex-change, otherwise this makes in transsexuals. \\
Transsexualism is to live in gender-based sex corresponding to where it belongs, namely transgendered people suffering and show a mismatch at the genitals of birth, who can not appreciate. It is essential to underline that the person when operated on and should not be classified as a transsexual, but a man or a woman, simply.
It is also important to note that transsexuals are extremely unhappy about sex that they have been assigned to transgender individuals over the years have been invisible and are encased within the group of transvestites gay or lesbian, many transsexuals have undergone a profound marginalization, particularly by the homosexual community, Bisexual and Lesbian. His coming-out process is similar to gay, lesbian and bisexual, and can bring the loss of support from family, friends and employment.
Discrimination against transsexuals is extreme, even more for transsexual women for wanting to belong to a group that society has historically discriminated against. The path of the transsexual is long, difficult and tortuous, because no society is yet ready to merge them in his bosom, and trauma. Before the operation, many transgender hate themselves, living constantly with the feeling of being trapped in a body that is not theirs. Those who choose sex-change have to fight a widespread misunderstanding.
Another issue is striking is how little that certain groups have made progress in removing the stigma surrounding transsexuals in comparison with other issues in our society were frowned upon, the issue of transsexuality is still regarded as a phenomenon a disorder, an abnormality, disease or perversion. Medicine and psychology play a role in the breakdown or maintenance of this stigma on transsexuality, and more so in our country.
So this is where a number of questions arise, such as why transsexualism is still considered as a phenomenon?, what role they play in psychiatry and psychology in the maintenance of stigma towards transsexuals?, what is the relationship of stigma on transsexualism with the division of roles gender, ie the maintenance of the prototypes of femininity and masculinity in force yet?, "who is responsible for the classification of certain terms?," which is responsible for concept development?, what are argued to develop these concepts?, what factors are taken into account to classify groups?, etc. As you can see the questions are multiple, and the truth is that not only have a favorable response, but can hardly be a reflection to start beating around the bush.
Also, another thing worth rescuing a point of reflection, is that most of our Latin American countries is extremely difficult to understand how some people who have the physical characteristics of a genre may actually believe they belong to another, and if we add the lack of education and information, will be even more difficult to break this stereotype.
Moreover, the scarcity of economic resources, the difficulty of finding decent work and in good condition, prostitution almost the only way out for many, physical and verbal abuse, discrimination, on rights, legal abandonment, and also because they say, looks of contempt for people who still consider transsexuals as "strange creatures" causes more suffering and frustration, and all this means to them A CHALLENGE.
And finally, I would make a final call attention to this: the transsexual who unfortunately do not have access to the operation, for various reasons, should not be considered less women and fewer men, and this should be a collective struggle which all and all work together in breaking stereotypes while contributing to social awareness, is a challenge to create opportunities for further discussion regarding this issue within the community Homosexual, Bisexual, Lesbian and Transgender in our population.

For men who sleep with men: What you need to know about safer sex, a little girl sexy Nadia
For men who sleep with men: What you need to know about safer sex by Ellen K.
Friedrichs
Translated by Emi Canahuati, 06/03/2002
Is there much to talk about safer sex, but what they need to know the men who have sex with men? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find information for men who have sex with men, because most education about sexuality is for men who have sex with women. It may not be well informed when it comes to sex between men. Many people know that there are certain types of sexual behaviors that are "risky", but do not know how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections. Here are some key things you should know. First
clarify this - the safest sex is something we do to reduce our risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. It's about having more fun with less risk. The most important ways to reduce your risk are:
* Do not enter your body fluids of your partner - in the mouth or anus. Body fluids which must be most careful about are blood, semen, pre-ejaculate (the fluid-like semen from the penis before a man has an ejaculation) and the discharge from sores sexually transmitted infections.
* Do not touch sores or tumors caused by sexually transmitted infections.
Safer sex also means get a medical checkup at least once a year and receive the right treatment if you have a sexually transmitted infection.
sexual games with the least amount of risk are stimulation of the genitalia (with clothes on), kissing, mutual masturbation and erotic massage. But remember that some infections such as herpes and HPV (the virus that causes warts) can pass just by touching the skin. Oral sex
Now let's talk about oral sex. Compared with vaginal and anal sex, oral sex is less risky. If a man is receiving or giving genital stimulation, oral sex even with the man is still exposed to infections such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, herpes, hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus and HIV rarely. Also remember that a man who has an infection is more susceptible to others. To reduce risk, some men have oral sex until the moment before ejaculation. Other people use condoms for oral sex, making it even safer. Condoms without lubricants and flavors are usually preferred for oral sex.
What about licking the anus? This involves stimulating the anus orally. You can put two people at risk for hepatitis, herpes, HPV and parasites. To make this safer practice, people use a thin piece of latex between the anus and mouth, therefore acts as a barrier. You can also use condoms as a barrier cut and cellophane. Like condoms, some of these barriers come in many flavors.
Anal
unprotected anal sex is considered a high risk activity, like unprotected vaginal sex. Men who have unprotected anal sex are at high risk for many sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, HIV, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes and hepatitis. The correct use of male and female condoms latex (yes, many men prefer the female condom when having sex with men) may reduce the risk of dangerous infections. Only use water-based lubricants like KY ® jelly or Astroglide ®, with latex condoms. The oil-based lubricants such as Vaseline or hand lotion, or mineral oil or plant damage latex. (One advantage of using a female condom is that they are made of polyurethane and can use any type of lubricant). Normally, the anus does not produce enough lubrication for sex comfortably, so it is very important to use lubrication during anal sex. The lubricant also reduces the risk of damaging the tissue of the anus and the condom breaks.
There are many ways to make safer sex between men. Knowing how to protect yourself and your partner not only makes sex safer, but also more enjoyable.
