Dr Marc Molendijk, clinical psychologist, researcher
The terminology describing sex are rapidly changing through time
Sometimes the terms used to describe sexual disorders might
stigmatize people who have it
Studies demonstrate that there is an
increasing % of men roming pubic hair
throughout the years
Pigmy chimpanzees (pan paniscus), common chimpanzees (pan
tryglodytes) and homo sapiens were common at some point,
however, they evolved in different ways
In 1920, some researchers tried to perform intercourse between
chimpazees and humans, however the eggs and sperms are not
compatible
Taxonomy: a way of describing different species

, COLOUR SPECTRUM
It exists in nature
Sex exists by virtue of social agreement, which means there is room
for interpretation. So there are no factual boundaries!
Humans are sexual beings and most of us can recognize sexual
stimuli
Ex: If someone touches my neck with their hands, I might not see it as a
sexual act. However, if someone touches my clitoris with their hands I
consider it as a sexual act. But if someone touches my neck or clitoris
with their tongue, I right away consider it a sexual act
SEX IS DIFFERENT THAN GENDER!
Sex: sexual intercourse; sex we assigned at birth (male- XY, female-XX
or intersex XXY)
Gender: roles of cis, trans or any gender constructed by society
