Effects Of Sex In The Philippines

1732 Words7 Pages

Sexuality and reproduction are imprinted on one human’s nature. And yet the topic of sex, when raised, will most likely elicit snickers, jokes, and blushes in most Filipino adults or expressions of indignation and disgust (“The Funny Way Filipinos talk about Sex”, 2011), it should not be that way. Filipino people tend to feel embarrassed about tackling such topics: sex and what goes along with it, mainly because of what others might depict them to be. This attitude is what leads the Filipinos to rather be ignorant than be prepared. It is all a matter of choosing whether society depicts you as a sexually knowledgeable individual or as a weak individual one can easily use as a sexual stimulant.
Every 53 minutes, a woman or a child is raped, with seven in 10 victims of rape being children (CWR, 2016). Preys attract predators and predators are most attracted to the easiest ones to grab a hold of. With sexuality not being openly conversed about with the youth, sexually driven individuals turn to them as ways of letting out some steam. The youth are most likely to be the easiest access for sexual stimulations and satisfaction to people driven by arousal.

    This week’s discussion, “How America is Oversexed and under Educated” has brought up a sensitive topic that is typically viewed by the average American household as some type of taboo, hidden secret, sin, private or personal topic that is never openly discussed outside the confines of the household. The family usually allows this sensitive topic to be handled at the school level for sex education awareness or behind closed doors at the home by parents or a relative. However, today’s assertion that sex is everywhere in America is probably one of the biggest understatements that you could ever make about America’s culture. The sexual exploitation measures that are founded throughout our society to sell or buy items that elicits the natural instinctive

    The lack of sexual education also contributes to young marriage and motherhood rates (Ngo & Leet-Otley, 2011). Hmong parents do not understand sexual education and do not discuss it with their children. In Meschke and Dettmer’s (2013) study on sexual health communication, Hmong daughters inferred that parents believed the talk about sexual health might encourage their daughters to be sexually active. Talking about sex is impolite and embarrassing so Hmong families do not usually have discussions on that topic. However, when they do give out information it is often wrong and exaggerated (Meschke & Dettmer, 2012).

In a chapter titled “Gender Myths,” Vernacchio (2014) asks the question, “male and female, is that all there is” (Vernacchio, A., p. 112, 2014)? In teaching his class on Sexuality and Society, Vernacchio asks these questions and questions similar, demonstrating that he takes into consideration that there are feelings at stake and keeps in mind the human aspect of sex and sexuality as he is intentionally behind challenging students to foresee and develop their sense of values about sex, instead of constantly being “in the moment.”

    When I was younger, rape was always a distant topic to me. It was something intangible that I could not understand. My mother would occasionally speak on instances of violence where rape could be a result, but she would never directly come out and say “rape” to define it.
