Abstracts | Social sexological research
|
|
E. Ketting, Th. Sandfort, F. Deven
|
During the past 25 years a considerable number of studies in the
field of social sexology have been done in the Low Countries.
Initially, research was focused on problems resulting from a
restrictive sexual morality. During the 1970s attention shifted to
the rapid process of sexual liberalization and its practical
consequences, such as the need for family planning education and
services. The past decade of social sexological research was largely
dominated by two issues: sexual abuse and the spread of STD,
including AIDS. As most of these studies have been published in the
Dutch language only, they have not sufficiently added up to the
international body of knowledge. This is regrettable, because,
particularly The Netherlands is now characterized by an open and
permissive attitude regarding sexuality, which gives it quite a
unique position in the world, not just in terms of attitudes and
behaviour, but also in terms of research possibilities. For that
reason, international comparative and collaborative research
including the Low Countries should be stimulated in the future.

Sexual psychophysiology
|
|
J. Dekker, E. Laan
|
In this research on sexual psychophysiology in The Netherlands is
reviewed. Research is conducted in three centers (Amsterdam,
Rotterdam and Groningen). The research is concerned with three main
areas in sexual psychophysiology, i.e. the identification of sexual
stimuli, determinants of sexual arousal and applications of sexual
psychophysiology in sexual medicine.

Animal Sexology
|
|

Animal sexology investigations in Belgium and The Netherlands can boast
two research traditions. The ethological tradition is concemed with
observations on mating strategies under natural or seminatural
conditions. This approach is followed by the University of Utrecht, and
observations are taking place at Burgers Zoo and Safari Park in a variety
of species. The second research tradition is directed at the experimental
analysis of sexual behaviour under controlled laboratory conditions. The
research efforts concentrate on brain mechanisms involved in hormonal
control of sexual behaviour. This approach is followed by three research
groups at the universities of LiŪge, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. These
investigations concern the analysis of copulatory behaviour in the quail
(LiŪge) and in the laboratory rat (Amsterdam and Rotterdam) and the
stumptailed monkey (Rotterdam).

Information about changes in sexual functioning after medical
treatment is not being provided routinely by doctors. The inadequate
information about possible effects of diseases and therapeutic
interventions in patiënts' sexual functioning is also reflected in
the scarce amount of empirical research available on this issue,
nationally and internationally. This article outlines Dutch
investigations dealing with the effects of disease or handicap on
sexual functioning.

Sex and AIDS education for adolescents
|
|
H. Schaalma, G. Kok, D. Braeken,
M. Schopman, F. Deven
|
This article elaborates on the assumed quality of sex and AIDS
education for adolescents mainly in The Netherlands. Some examples of
the Dutch mass media campaigns on AIDS and programs on sex and AIDS
at secondary schools are presented, and the impact of some of these
activities is discussed. It is concluded that, although The
Netherlands are regarded as an outstanding example in the field of
sex education, systematic research on sex and AIDS education is still
in its infancy. Little is known of the impact of the mass media
activities. The impact of education on sex and AIDS at secondary
schools seems to be limited to an improvementy of knowledge and, at
best, minor changes in some attitudes. It is argued that, in order to
produce behavioural changes, education programs on sex and AIDS
should include cognitive and behavioural skill training addressed to
interpersonal problem solving, planning and assertive communication.
Besides, it is argued that the development of future programs and
campaigns with regard to sex and AIDS education should be thoroughly
planned and evaluated. None of the existing Dutch programs on sex and
AIDS meets this necessity. Finally some comments and suggestions are
addressed to the issues of cooperation between researchers and
practitioners, and implementation and feasibility of health
educational interventions, among which education on sex and AIDS.
