In today’s world there are different ways you can define yourself, for example, Gay, Lesbian, Bi. These are just a few but there are a lot more, and this can be hard for a person to know where they belong. I believe that once you find your group you can define the term sex to the way you see it to fit. Sex can be defined in numerous ways, and this can be confusing among the sex’s. I will address some of the ways that people define sex. The presentation that Billy gave to our section made me realize that sex can mean a whole lot. One of the topics Billy discussed that stood out at me was the different ages from 18-60+ coming into his store and acting different when they buy something or when the customers come in and they might be shy or very extroverted. This stood out at me …show more content…
This can be hard for people as well but knowing what you believe will help to define what ‘sex’ is for you. This class has been opening doors up for me because I get to hear what other people believe in and I have never had that happen before in a classroom setting. To define sex I believe people need to know on what they like and dislike, and this will make it easier to know what sex is for you. Billy said that you need to experience stuff that makes you feel uncomfortable in order to know if you like it or not. I agree trying things that you might be interested in doing is super important because like what Billy said “how do you know you don’t like it if you have not tried it before”. My response to define sex is that it’s complicated and can have a lot of meanings, but whatever you believe in stick to that, but don’t close the doors to other people when they try to explain what they believe in, but instead grow from these experiences to develop more understanding from a
My parents provided me the old traditional lecture about the birds and the trees. In which, how nature takes it role to produce offspring’s for different species and how humanity plays the same roles. The mention of morality, values and waiting until you get married would be the correct choice. Also, my sex education didn’t stop after high school and continued on during my tenure in the military with our mandatory annual POSH training that covers sex and our responsibilities as a soldier in the United States Army. If I had the choice to go back and change anything about what I learned about sex I would change the peer group philosophy about what I was led to believe about sex and relationship values between men and women.
Parents teach their kids to walk, to talk and good manners, which is all beneficial to a child. However, when it comes to teaching a child about sex, most parents tends to feel uncomfortable. Feeling uncomfortable does not change the fact that kids are maturing faster and they need the education to help them make decisions which will prevent them from making bad choices. For parents who tends to feel this way, sex Ed curriculum will be beneficial to both parents and children. The information kids gained will not only teach them about their genitalia, also about inappropriate touching, STD’s and early pregnancy.
This week we learned about how to keep respect for ourselves and for each other. We learned that chastity is respecting sex as a gift for your spouse. The speaker shared with us her own life story and we learned that she was a teen parent herself and that she had gone through some rough times. She shared with us that she was a teen mom and that before she engaged in sexual behavior, she was an honors student and she was focused on what was important but then after engaging in sexual behavior, she saw her grades drop drastically and she started to not care about the important things in life anymore.
It’s now more common for sex to be a topic of conversation then it was forty plus years ago and teens are more open to talk about sex than past generations. “Texas lawmakers are still way out of step with common sense and public opinion. Some even argue that sex education gets teens so “hot and bothered” that they can’t wait to jump in the sack with each other. Check The Numbers”. People don’t like being told what do especially teens who feel they are treated like they don’t know a thing and are expected to act like adult but at the same time are treated like they aren’t intelligent and as if they were motivated by constant deviant thoughts.
I thought sex was something magical, something you did with only someone you really loved, and only when you were ready to have a
In "Are We Having Sex Now or What?" by Greta Christina, she addresses many different definitions and criteria for what she thinks sex is or should be labeled as. She starts by thinking about and conceptualizing what sex actually is. She goes and performs her own tests on what sex is like for her with many different people. Originally, she only accounts for the binary and traditional sex which is between a man and a woman. But she realizes this isn't good enough.
Comparison of Why I Want a Wife and Sex, Lies, and Conversation Since we are kids, there has been a battle between men and women. The conflict is also of misunderstanding reactions of each one to problems with authority, financial problems, communication, etc. Women blame men for not wanting the relationship to work, while men defend themselves, saying that women are too emotional. These happen because men and women look for different behavior from the other one.
For Goodness Sex, by Al Vernacchio, is a welcome relief from the two previous books; Girls & Sex and Man Interrupted, as the focus is about sexuality as a whole; gender, sexual orientation, etc., rather than on the culture of females and males. 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.”
Sex has a history of being defined somewhat narrowly, centering on traditional cultural and religious norms and heterosexual practices. “Some definitions imply that sex can only happen if someone is trying to get pregnant. Other definitions imply that penetration must be involved for sex to have occurred(alice 5).” Although this straightforward definition might work in some cases, it clearly doesn’t include all sexual activities that we count as sex, not everyone can spot their sexual experiences in these definitions, so why not alter or expand definitions to reflect lived experiences?
Understanding gender and sexuality as socially constructed categories is important because it helps people understand a certain group. Gender and sexuality is expressed in many categories and people must be careful not to mix people in the wrong category. Simply because one expresses their sexuality different from another person does not mean they should be bashed or treated differently. Sometimes it does not matter what you identify as, who you identify with, people will always judge you, so its best people just do what they want. Putting gender in a category helps others not stereotype them as something they are not.
Sexuality includes how society views each gender’s relation to sex. Double

From my peers, being around them, I had seen that people held different values when it came to sex and sexuality. I noticed that when it came to sex, in high school, a lot of my peers were doing it and ended up pregnant. Seeing some of my peers getting pregnant at such an early age had shown me

But, what exactly sex education is? Sex education is the process of developing in young people’s skill so that they can have a clear idea and can make their own choice based on the knowledge they have gained about the sex.
