Reflection 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.

These facts taken directly from students support her efforts to prove how not all students are enjoying an unemotional, unattached sex life which appeals to the readers pathos. The detail placed into developing facts allow the reader to understand how common others share their same beliefs. Since so many students are not just looking for one-night stands the reader can begin to make a logical conclusion that maybe there is hope for them. The delivery on the topic allows her to accomplish her goal near the middle of the article which inspires the reader to not conform to social pressures.

Relate value systems and critical thinking to your sexual decision making before and after this course.

Upon enrolling in Sexual Communication, my initial belief was that I️t would be an easy course. I also had the belief that I wouldn’t learn much due to my prior knowledge regarding sex and communication. Weeks later, this notion was dismissed and I began learning facts, tips, and other pieces of information I most likely would not been exposed to if I did not enroll into this class.

The Balloon fetish was interesting to watch as was the other video, but watching it almost ruins my childhood as Balloons were always so excited to have and to play with but knowing someone else enjoys them more as a fetish is a little unsettling for me. Matt’s Giantess videos were interesting and making me think does everyone liked to be control or overpowered similar the dominance and submissive relationship. I think we all fall under neath the BDSM somewhere and the dominance and submissive relationship might be the easiest for people or it could be as easy as tying someone up but everyone should fall underneath the term. As it relates to Matt’s case it was interested to hear more as I kept watching because it is not one we normally hear people

Gabriella Visaggio Optional Assignment 3 10/1/14 Sex Education I graduated high school in 2013, during my four years of high school we were required to take all our health classes online, even Sex Ed. I remember being a junior in high school working on the lessons for the Sex Ed sections and found that I really could care less about the topic. I had no teacher to listen too or ask questions to so, by myself had to read the lessons online and get all the questions correct in order to get an A. In order to pass this health section I basically had to teach my self about everything that involved Sexual Education. After reading Michelle Fine’s “Sexuality, School, and Adolescent Female The Missing Discourse of Desire” really opened my eyes

This weeks readings were “The Languages of Sex” by Jeffrey Weeks and “Theoretical Perspectives” by Steven Seidman. Both readings and in class discussion brought up some really interesting points. Tuesday we had an interesting in class discussion on the idea of if we were to travel to a culture where ankles were sexualized rather than say breasts. How we become aware that some body parts are sexualized. This discussion was so interesting because it became aware how weird it is that our society has certain body parts that are sexualized. This carried on into Thursday’s discussion about how both authors touched on the increased emphases that humans have a natural drive or need for sex and what happens when he described sex has a natural desire.

After careful consideration, it was evident I didn’t have many choices in which to structure my risky business. There was no way to avoid that my business and research was a sexual matter whether I liked it or not, or whether I wanted to accept it or not. My powerful mysterious presence, my colorful character, my cleavage or my spiked heels had turned on most men in private sessions. How and what I did to dominate them was icing on the cake. Most men exhibited erections immediately, frequently before the session started, often before I had even entered the dungeon! Anticipation was powerful.

Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, is a novel set in London, England of AD 2540 or 632 A.F., “After Ford” as Huxley refers to it (Baldassarro). The novel predicts developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation as well as classical conditioning that, through joint effort, impact a society as a whole. In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World as fifth place on its list of 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century (Modern Library Board Members). Then in 2003 a writer for The Observer, Robert McCrum, said that Brave New World was at number fifty-three in the “top 100 greatest novels of all time” (McCrum). It was then later listed as eighty-seven in BBC’s survey “The Big Read” (BBC).

Freshman year during K-week I went to just about everything that offered free food and t-shirts, or other prizes. Included in that group of events was a general club-like fair where many of the organizations on campus could have a booth/room and host games or whatever to attract members. One of the booths I had the fortune of stopping at was the "sexperts." The sexperts were a group of women, typically in the healthcare profession, who chose to educate students on the importance of knowledge about sex and all its intricacies. However, unlike many of the sex presentations you see in normal school settings they choose to educate you through an entertaining format.

In a busy and complicated landscape of sexuality and gender, it is generally recognized that children need instruction in how to behave. Unfortunately, the way that adults wish young people to be introduced to sexuality is governed by diverse worldviews and values, and the subject is seen as so important that this disparity leaves little room for neutrality, much less reasoned compromise. In many cases, the education of children in sexuality is regarded on all sides as a life-and-death issue, involving fundamental assumptions about the role of public and private institutions and even the very stability of society, to say nothing of the potential risks to individuals. As When Sex Goes to School puts it, there is very little within the domain of American politics and the infamous “culture wars” that is not touched by or based in the realm of sexuality and gender, and sex education is an arena where each side seeks to have its values publicly established for the benefit of students.

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.

Throughout history, definitions of sexuality within a culture are created and then changed time after time. During these changes, we have seen the impact and power one individual or group can have over others. In the Late Nineteenth Century into the Early Twentieth Century, we see multiple groups of people and or authorities taking control over the idea of sex and how they believe society is being impacted by sex. At this point in time, society had groups of people who believed they had the power to control how society as whole viewed and acted upon sex. Those particular groups and ideas changed many lives and the overall definition of sexuality within that culture.
