Evidence suggests the timing of sexual intercourse and sequence of sexual trajectories (e.g., pace and sequence at which adolescents progress from less intimate to more intimate behaviors) are related to health outcomes (de Graaf, Vanwesenbeeck, Meijer, Woertman, & Meeus, 2009).
Also needed is longitudinal research to explore temporality in relation to learning about sex and sexual trajectories along with further intervention research, specifically exploring how best to meet the needs of young men and support parents in communicating about sexual matters in a timely manner.
From time to time, I think about how my sexual and life trajectory would have been impacted if he felt my lady parts or took my virginity.
The cerebellum's unique protracted developmental trajectories, sexual dimorphism, preferential vulnerability to environmental influences, and frequent implication in childhood onset disorders such as autism and ADHD make it a prime target for pediatric neuroimaging investigations.
Today, it's not clear that any such linear trajectory of sexual development exists, Cochran says.
The striking sexual dimorphism for programming trajectories necessitates a considerable revision of current dietary intervention protocols.
Our experimental results will hopefully stimulate theoretical models to further consider the implications of negative genetic correlations in shaping species' evolutionary trajectories via sexual selection.
Hence, in systems where both sexes possess display traits, the pleiotropy of genes generating the traits could influence the evolutionary trajectories of sexual signals and lead to their divergence, with speciation being the ultimate result.
Additional adjustment for the other factors shown in Table 1 made no further difference to the associations with HSV-2 or HIV.> -wrap-foot> ate at menarche in this population has a profound influence on adolescent trajectories through sexual debut and marriage.
It is possible that, because these youth had not made a choice to either actively avoid all risk or to be completely unconcerned about the consequences of risk behaviors, their behavior was inconsistent because they were more affected by the context of their sexual events or the trajectories of their relationships than the other two types of youth.
