Remarks

The Dictionary of the French Academy, in its 4th edition (1762) described the “genital” adjective like a “ Didactic Term. Who is used for the generation. Virtue, genital faculty. Genital spirit. Genitals. ”, implying that it does not describe only the reproductive organs, but also the spirit which at the man, via the erotism and the conscious and estimated thought strongly contributes to the process of reproduction. The man seems to differentiate other mammals by a capacity to be reproduced all the year and by Culture S which produced Tabou S, rites, and various forms of decency surrounding the Nudité or the visibility of the sexual organs. These artefacts are more or less important, prégnants and they evolve/move during time, according to the social classes or groups, the age (nudity is tolerated in the babies or young children) or the context (medical, family, holidays, etc). Often, it is at least required to cover the genitals in company with a Vêtement, sometimes symbolic system (the contemporary minis string, simple a Pagne, a sheet held by a fine cord among women of certain tribes Amerindian born (Xingu for example, where the men traditionally carried a wire tying their foreskin and holding the raised penis). These regulations or taboos apply especially starting from the Puberté.
Après one period when decency was exaltée by the elites of the Occident (of 17th at the 19th century) one still qualified at the beginning of the 20th century the human genitals of bodies “ashamed” , by not authorizing their representation (for the representation of body of men, but not of women) that in the sculpture and painting, whereas Greek, Etruscan or Roman civilizations tolerated or encouragaient nudity (with the combat, the exercise, at the time of the Olympic Games, etc). For reasons often still badly included/understood, certain cultures or religions tolerated or encouraged the Circoncision, the Excision even the Infibulation or conversely the wearing of clothing or attribus emphasizing the male genitals (cf certain clothing of the rebirth) or the case pénien.

In the majority of the countries, since the end of the 20th century, the sex education at the school has as a role to learn to the children operation from the human reproductive apparatus, while being often limited to the functional and medical aspects of the function.

Psychoanalyze and physiology of the genitality

The psychoanalysis and physiology do not compel the genitals with the only reproduction of the species: they are connected, like dispositon, with the concept of Génital.
