Sex: How It Works Page #8

---

NARRATOR:
Although Jenni

isn't interested in sex,

she has a boyfriend.

JENNI:
Come on you.

Hey you.

NARRATOR:
Tim and Jenni are a

few weeks into their sexless

relationship.

TIM:
I mean, like, the first

time that Jenni sort of

mentioned in conversation...

JENNI:
In my very subtle way.

TIM:
... that she

was a-sexual, umm,

well my initial thought was,

Hmm, that's kind of odd.

But then I- I did know enough

to know not to make assumptions

sort of about what that meant.

NARRATOR:
Even though asexuals

are not sexually attracted to

other people, research shows

many still have a sex drive

which they satisfy

through masturbation.

But even when couples

don't have sex,

studies have shown that kissing

and cuddling can cause the brain

to release oxytocin, a hormone

that's also released when people

in sexual relationships orgasm.

Jenni might be happy

to go without sex,

but in LA Rob is not.

It's been 2 weeks since

Rob last had intercourse,

to satisfy the demands of his

hormones he's turned to close

friend Brittany.

ROB:
Tonight, I'm

looking forward to, uh,

to going out with...

with Brittany.

Brittany is a is

a friend of mine.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna

go out and have a lot of fun,

and then we'll probably

make our way back here.

I'm pretty sure

that's gonna happen.

The sex with Brittany...

it's good, yeah, definitely.

Yeah! Really good,

she knows what she's doing.

But yeah, good sex.

Hello Brittany.

BRITANNY:
Hi!

ROB:
How are you?

BRITTANY:
Good. How are you?

I mean I like hanging out

with you 'cause we have

a really good time together

and you make me feel good about

myself.

It's just, you know, fun

and games but we're good

friends... with benefits.

ROB:
Yeah.

That's well put.

Sex is supposed to feel good,

you're supposed to feel good

after having sex and I don't

want to hook up with a girl

that goes, Ah, what

why did I do that?

BRITTANY:
Exactly, you want

to you don't want to wake up

the next morning and say,

I couldn't even tell you what

she looked like, I can't even

tell you her name,

I don't know where

she came from.

ROB:
Do you have to

wake up early tomorrow?

...Like, do you

want to sleep over?

BRITTANY:
You can't

just ask that,

you have to get me drunk first.

ROB:
I don't have to

get your drunk first!

You've stayed over

about fifteen times...

BRITTANY:
I've only

had one glass of wine.

ROB:
'Cos I need to know if

not I'm going to call another

person.

BRITTANY:
Oh, you

have your line-up,

I'm a loser... your booty-calls?

ROB:
I'm joking.

BRITTANY:
We should

talk about something...

more juicy.

ROB:
Sexual?

The plans for the rest of the

evening is going to go like

this:
ah, we're going

to go and pick up, ah,

ingredients to make S'mores and

Brittany is going to make her

special whiskey cider, cook

that up and have a nice dessert,

and then maybe more dessert.

BRITTANY Stop.

ROB:
There's nothing better

than... than a nice kiss.

It's the first spark, it's

the first initial, you know,

feeling.

NARRATOR:
Packed with nerve

endings our lips and tongue

are incredibly sensitive

to stimulation.

A passionate kiss causes our

bodies to go into pleasure

overdrive; our pulse

and breathing quickens,

more oxygen rushes to our

brain, pleasure hormones flow

and our cheeks flush.

Not only does kissing arouse

us, it can improve sexual

gratification.

With his hormones flooding his

system Rob's body is primed

to have sex.

Oh, is that what you wanted...

see I wanted that.. Here take it

Brainwashed by his sex hormones,

Rob's libido is in overdrive.

He's turned to friend

with benefits, Brittany.

BRITTANY:
Ah!

ROB:
You taste like

marshmallow and gram crackers.

BRITTANY:
inaudible Oh please.

Ow!

ROB:
C'mere baby!

BRITTANY:
Oh, jeez... Ah!

NARRATOR:
Foreplay stimulates

a number of physiological

responses.

In Rob blood becomes trapped

inside his penis causing it to

swell and harden.

The vaginal walls

thicken and lubricate.

Upon penetration nerve

endings in the penis,

clitoris and vagina are

stimulated increasing activity

in over 80 regions of the brain,

including the pleasure centers,

triggering the

start of the orgasm.

As the orgasm builds pulses

travel from the anal sphincter

to the tip of the penis.

These pulses increase

in speed and intensity,

until climax is reached,

causing muscles around the body,

including the face, to spasm.

After an orgasm, a man's

brain releases chemicals,

such as prolactin, that

bring on tiredness.

ROB:
That was a wonderful

passionate night and, ah, yeah.

We can't really show you what

went on because it would be

rated X.

We're starting to

connect more, you know,

there was definitely more

passion and more emotion.

BRITTANY:
If you can

have fun together,

you have good sexual chemistr,

you have a lot in common.

It's hard to find

that in one package.

COUPLE 1:
Yeah I would say, I

mean an orgasm feels like, yeah,

it's like pleasure but

it's also stress release,

it's a connection to her, it's

like relaxation coming over

your whole body.

MALE 1:
Oh I absolutely

can get a girl to orgasm.

MALE 2:
No, I think, um, that

actually for me it almost gets

me off to make the girl orgasm,

you know I would rather her

orgasm first obviously and

multiple times, if possible,

but um, no, it's a sense

of accomplishment, I think.

MALE 3:
Yeah, the goal's

definitely her first and a

couple of times before you.

NARRATOR:
Finding a compatible

sexual partner is vital for the

survival of the human species.

But for some people sex is

not about reproduction...

BRYAN:
I would say 17 years old

was definitely my first sexual

encounter. It was with a guy.

I remember being nervous and

everything - there was that

awkwardness, like, is this what

you're supposed to be doing?

But I just sort of that

mentality where it's like,

I'm gay, so what?

I'm just sort of like fearless

about it, I'm just like,

You know what, just

whatever happens, happens.

Sex is supposed

to be fun, right?

I figure everybody has

sex, just, you know,

we have different kinds of sex.

DR LINDA:
One of the interesting

things about differing

sexualities is that in- in

recent years we've found that

there's at least some evidence

to suggest a physiological

a biological hereditary

basis to this,

but having said this we

don't know a lot about it,

we don't know necessarily,

you know, why it exists,

and why it exists in the animal

kingdom as well because it's not

just, not just with humans.

NARRATOR:
Homosexuality is found

throughout the animal kingdom,

having been observed

in almost 1, 500 species

ranging from giraffes

to bottle nose dolphins.

But the cause of homosexuality

is still unknown,

however some reports suggest

each older brother increases

the odds of a man being

gay by 33%.

BRYAN:
Once you know

that you are gay,

it then gets to the point where

you're taking that to the next
