ABSTRACT
People believe that women are very complex in terms of sexuality, while men are very simple. To understand the sexuality of men and women, the optimal model is a multidimensional, integrated, biopsychosocial approach. Sexuality is a lifelong developmental process, grounded in the body, profoundly enriched through psychological growth, and culminating in interpersonal integration. Men's sexual health has a fascinating history. Throughout history, there is evidence of a variety of sexual behaviors but with a wide range of societal acceptance or condemnation. For example, monogamy was often the norm, in other phases, polygamy was not uncommon. Throughout history, men and women have shown remarkable cooperation and achievement. At the same time, history shows a tension surrounding gender roles, love–hate relationships, and evidence of a war between the sexes. Contemporary sexual science struggles to balance knowledge amidst social biases, psychological fears, political pressures, and past scientific sloppiness. Contemporary sexual science endeavors to provide an objective perspective on human sexual development and behavior.
