Kama Sutra And Its Influence On Indian Marriage Life

Adolescence can be a very confusing and difficult time for many teens because they are pushed out of childhood and into adulthood. The push for the use of comprehensive sex education programs is causing the rates of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to increase. By providing teens with a comprehensive sex education program that can not only confuse them about their sexuality, but also lead them to engage in sex before they are mentally ready, is extremely harmful. Because abstinence is the only sure way to prevent the spread of STDs and stop unwanted pregnancies among adolescents, it should be the only curriculum taught to them.

There is much controversy over which form of sex education should be taught, comprehensive sex education, or abstinence-only sex education. The definition for comprehensive sex education is responsible and balanced sexuality education that seeks to assist young people in understanding a positive view of sexuality, provide them with information and skills about caring for their sexual health, and help them acquire skills to make decisions now and in the future. It is medically accurate and provides information about abstinence and contraceptives as tools to prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. On the other hand, abstinence only sex education is a form of sex education that teaches abstinence from sex. This type of sex education promotes sexual abstinence until marriage and avoids discussion of use of contraceptives. Comprehensive sex education goes against some family morals and encourages teenagers to have sex. But abstinence only sex education does not teach students enough about sex or how to protect themselves from STDs and pregnancy. Comprehensive sex education should be mandatory in all of our nation’s schools.

I first learned about the birds and the bees by my grandmother giving me “the talk”! It was completely horrible and embarrassing at the time but in the long run it was better to know than to be completely in the dark about the situation. My parents never talked to me about sex. In middle school, I remember having to complete a comprehensive sex education program. Hopefully, sex education programs have become more effective today. I felt at the time it wasn’t a very informative program and could have used more structure. The key is to provide students/teens with as much information as possible on the subject matter.

The Aphrodisia festival , an annual festival held in Ancient Greece in honor of the goddess Aphrodite Pandemos, the festival took place in several Ancient Greek towns, but was especially important in Attica and on the island of Cyprus, where Aphrodite Pandemos was .No bloody(humans) sacrifices were allowed to be offered to her, but only pure fire, flowers, and incense.

In the United States of America, sex education is taught in two main ways: comprehensively and abstinence-based. Abstinence-only sex education focuses primarily on abstinence as a means of avoiding STDs, STIs, and unplanned pregnancies. On the other hand, comprehensive sex education programs focus on informing students about the choices available to them in regards to sexual health; these programs also provide education that includes information on both contraceptives and abstinence. In this paper, I will argue that all American public schools should implement holistic, comprehensive sex education programs and dismantle abstinence-based programs as quickly as possible.

Women are not given the position of power, such as a political leader or as Brahmins who are usually males a part of the priestly caste in India with the authority to learn and teach the hymn of Vedas that is the knowledge of revelation. As the Brahmins are at the apex of status, they were given the leadership role of the discussion of knowledge where the scripture gives them superiority, thus their viewpoint representing the establishment of the values and traditions of Hinduism. Hinduism has an underlining of masculine thinking where only men can renounce the world and attain moksha or liberation from rebirth, where a woman's life are divided into three main phases of maidenhood (kaumarya), marriage (vivaha) and should the husband pass away

The girl looked down at the pregnancy test, seeing those two straight lines, almost staring into the scared eyes of the sophomore in high school. One time, one mistake, and the girl’s life would be changed forever. In order to prevent devastating situations like this from happening, students need to be properly educated. If this girl would have learned how to safely use a condom or alternate forms of birth control, this crisis may have been averted. Teenage pregnancy and STD’s can be prevented if educated properly. Since comprehensive sex education leads to declining pregnancy and STD rates, school’s sex education curriculum must incorporate a more comprehensive based focus.

‘Sexual act’ is not an evil by itself. Indeed, sexual act is the powerful driven force for the survival of human race – don’t you agree. In biological sense, sexual act can lead to the exchange of genetic materials. Although, some might argue, the transfer of genetic information can be done in vitro process, in normal circumstance the natural method (referring to the sexual intercourse between male and female Homo sapiens) is more cost-effective. Besides, natural method can, while vitro process cannot, give physical and emotional pleasures to the extent that most sexual practitioners would crave for more.

Throughout this essay, I will discuss the social roles of men and women in the home, within rituals and within creation. I will look at the roles of a husband and wife, as well as Goddesses and Kings. The main traditional texts that support these roles are the Rg Veda, the Kalpa Sutras, the epics (the Ramayana and Mahabharata), Tryambaka, and Manu Smrti. They are believed to lay the foundations for order in society, as well as giving people the knowledge of their duty. I will show how these separate texts have defined roles within castes and genders and show how their different styles of writings have defined roles in different ways.

The debate over whether comprehensive sexual education should be taught in has been a controversial issue in the United States for over a decade. The United States has more than double the teenage pregnancy rate of any western industrialized country. Recent statistics has shown that more than a million teenagers become pregnant annually. In addition, teenagers have the highest rates of sexually transmitted disease of any age group. In fact, one in four young people contract a sexually transmitted disease by the age of twenty-one. Comprehensive sexual education in educational institutions is crucial as a means of combating the alarming rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies amongst teenagers.

The meaning and understanding of sexual practices has long been a subject of debate amongst humanity. The issue of sex is an intimate one that evokes intense emotional responses from people. One’s interpretation of what is right and wrong in sexual ethics and therefore their viewpoint on particular practices arises from whether they take an absolute or relative standpoint on such matters. Dilemmas are compounded further by the evolutionary, anthropological and ontological viewpoints of sex that differ widely - the conflict between these three invite debates about what kind of behaviour is correct.

Religious norms also play an important part in constructing the social status of women in Thailand. Communities such as the ethnic Akha that is predominantly a Buddhist community, accredits in the strict readings on the basic truths of Karma. Seabrook further elaborates that women are inherently impure and carnal according to various undeniable Buddhist sects and these communities relate the involvement of women in sex trade as “a consequence of their karma, their demerit in a former life. In this way, men can express lust without demerit because it is caused by women” (qtd. in Mah, 80). This specific reading of Buddhist sects exempts men from any sins when associated with human trafficking. Moreover, the spiritual beliefs associated with the social status of the women grants the same status to be cemented into a culture. Religious norms then become a principal factor in determining the cultural values of a community, especially in rural areas. Hence, it creates a feedback loop of religious values that allows men to consume prostitution without fear of wrongdoings

This article, Gaps Between Actual and Desired Sex Life: Web Survey of 5,665 Japanese Women, by Koichi Nagao, Toshihiro Tai, Rieko Saigo, Masaki Kimura, Yumi Ozaki, Norie Tanaka, Hideyuki Kobayashi, and Koichi Nakajima, discusses the gap between women’s actual and desired sex life. The authors believe this gap may change based upon the presence of effective communication. It has been thought that a sufficient sex life leads to a better well-being (Davison, Bell, LaChina, Holden, & Davis, 2009). An individual’s sexual quality of life is largely impacted when both partners are satisfied. When an individual is not satisfied, a gap between the actual and desired sex life of an individual often exists and can have a large impact on both partners quality of life. This web based study aims to explore the area surrounding women’s desired and actual sexual lifestyle, coupled with the presence of effective communication. Due to the study being limited to heterosexual women in a small area, there are limits the representation of some prospective participants.

When are children first exposed to sex? It is hard to control what a child is exposed to with the growing trend of sexual imagery in advertising, television, movies, and in the general public. An article, Children Learn Best by Observing Behavior of Adults, written by Jodie Michalak states “While children will always have their own personality and emotions, they are constantly influenced by their environment” (2013). What and how children learn is a very significant part of how healthy our society will be in the future. School has been an integral part of a child’s progression into adulthood since the 17th century. Schools carefully build the curriculum that is proper for a child’s age group. The educational system adapts to societal

I chose to watch Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love because although we covered some of the aspects of this topic in class, I thought it would be interesting to see a more visual interpretation of how the “art of love” is treated in India. The movie related directly to the readings from The Art of Tantra that we had in class. This relation in my opinion focused on religion and its connection to sexual intercourse, religious tradition when it comes to sex, and mutual cooperation between couples.
