My Perspectives on Human Sexuality

This is Damian form your Monday's & Wednesday's 12:30 pm class , it came to my attention that there seemed to be some problems relating to the test we just took on chapter 2 of the Human Sexuality class. Personally, im under the impression that i took the new exam although it had no timer applied to it and some of the question's apparent responses seem a little contradictional. On this questions for example # 1; "Which of the following statements regarding the desire phase of sexual response is true?" , #2; In which of the following areas would Masters and Johnson's research on sexual response be least helpful?, #3; Which of the following most accurately describes the plateau phase?, the book clearly states that this is

Human sexuality plays a major role in everyone's life. Regardless, whether we are young or old, man or woman, American or Japanese, it is an integral part of what we do and who we are. There has been much done by way of research and scholarly writing examining human sexuality (e.g., Abramson & Pinkerton, 1995; Beach, 1976; Diamond, 1997; Reinisch et al., 1990; Stalcup, 1995; Tiefer, 1995). This paper will explore the topic of human sexuality as a motivation. Of course, there are many emotions associated with human sexuality, but the primary aim of this particular paper will be a general overview of sexuality with special attention to the various perspectives, including the:

Contemporary understandings of sexuality are not the same as back in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Understandings and terminology in the past hold multiple differences and similarities than our current contemporary understandings.

I think that before I had started this class I really didn’t think of the different types of sexual identities and honestly didn’t really care too much. Then I started to really think about it and I realized that I am ethical relativism and I still stand by that today. Ethical relativism means, that I reject the idea that there is a single correct moral view. I think

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

The purpose of this project is to introduce a brochure, based on current evidence, that can help rape victims find a healthy approach to recovery. It is important to provide victims with support, contact numbers, counselors and self help strategies in case they do not follow up with a medical professional. If victims refuse to talk it is important to teach them about therapeutic poetry and journaling which are optimal ways of expressing emotions. Holding in feelings over time can lead to self directed violence, nightmares, trust issues, and changes in relationships. Victims are at risk for re-victimization by society and the justice system. A brochure could provide reading material that can enable victims to regain

In class we defined “culture” as, “an organized system of learned beliefs and behaviors made manifest by groups distinctive from one another. Culture is not innate but does rest on the biological base of complex symbolic capacity. Culture is primarily transmitted through language, it is cumulative, includes artifacts as well as attitudes and is humankind 's chief adaptive mechanism”. As humans and citizens of society when we think of culture this definition probably doesn’t come to mind to the average individual, however, we still recognize how important culture is and how much it affects us. Human Sexuality was a very riveting class that exposed me to different realms of culture that I had no idea about.

It is necessary to recognize rape and sexual assault as the heinous crimes they are in order to increase public awareness and build a better support system for victims. Small solutions can help to resolve the problem. Media and news sources can bring an end victim-blaming by focusing instead on the rapists. If we hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions, we take an active stand against sexual assault and rape culture. Today, many areas of the world, including the United States, lack comprehensive education regarding rape because of a general unwillingness to discuss topics involving sex. As a result, an idea of sexual power and dominance persists in modern society despite being out-dated. Some believe that it is normal and even acceptable to exhibit the aggressive behavior present in instances of rape and sexual assault. Efforts to adjust the education system could have a profound impact on the way people view these crimes and their reactions to them. By presenting sexual intercourse as a consensual partnership, we can create a new environment. We can and must end the sexual objectification of people to bring about change and eliminate rape

There are many components to sexual victimization that must be addressed as uncomfortable as they may be. This research will demonstrate the importance of acknowledging topics deemed uncomfortable such as types

Throughout history, sexuality has been an extremely discussed and disputed topic. In the United States, views on gays and lesbians have fluctuated as social norms changed and adapted rapidly as the nation grew into a major international superpower. Even today, the topic of sexuality is one of the most controversial and progressive movements sweeping the country as more and more states pass laws allowing the marriage of gay and lesbian couples. This essay will attempt to delve into the controversial history behind sexuality in the United States, addressing both positive and negative issues, beginning in the 1920s until the end of the 20th century.

I think Kinsey became obsessed with human sexuality because he wanted to create change and increase the awareness of this subject. Throughout this film you can see his intensity and his drive to do research as well as studying human’s sexual acts. Not only did he want to create awareness but Kinsey also wanted to unravel all the secrets regarding human sexuality. It’s crazy to think that back then people were not willing to talk about anything sexual. In the film, it shows how people were not educated and knew little to nothing about sexuality. It blows my mind that people know almost nothing about something so natural. Now a day’s sex is everywhere. Sex is how we sell everything from perfume to cars.

There has been a lot of discussion of rape within sociologists, criminologists, and feminist networks. In my own words, rape is someone engaging with someone else sexually without their consent. Rape is not strictly vaginal penetration, nor an exclusive heterosexual only act. If two people are in a relationship or married, there is still no justification to the perpetrator for their act. In the 21st century, although rape crimes have dropped 24.1% from 2001 to 2010, but not all rapes are reported (Eitzen, Zinn, & Smith, 2010). Curtis (1997) reported that 42% of rape victims do not tell anyone of their assaults. There may be a number of reasons why victims don’t speak out. Victims of rape typically fear their own safety and lives if they speak out on it. Men who are victims typically don’t report rapes because it’s considered demasculizing to their gender. Rape victims are traumatized for life, they live with the burden, as their perpetrators walk away free (Curtis, 1997).

Every theme we have touched and gone in depth with in Ethics of Living and Dying has touch me in one way or another, but the theme that has touched me whole heartedly is rape. Rape is the most disgusting act that can happen to anyone women, men, lesbians, bisexuals, straight, no matter your gender, ethnicity, etc. we are all human and no one should have to go through such a life scaring situation that affects victims in one or more ways. Not only has rape affected many women and men, but an attempt has also scared others from trusting those around them as well. This theme has affected me personally because of those whom I know that have been victims of an attempt or rapped.

Even though many people would like to ignore this minority group, thousands of LGBT Christians have felt hated and ostracized by their religious communities creating space for psychological issues as they are forced to believe that something is wrong with them. According to psychology studies on sexuality, humans are sexually aware at a very young age in order to separate the differences between mom and dad and find characteristics between them both which allows them to later on identify the differences between what makes mom, mom, and what makes dad, dad. As the child begins to grow up they experiment with both masculine and feminine roles which gives them a general idea of what they like in the terms of sexuality. According to Erik Erikson's

In today’s society things are being expressed and experienced at younger ages, than ever before in our time. Children and teenagers are discovering their sexuality at very early ages. Sexuality is the discovering of who you are and what makes you different from everybody else.
