The term “sex” is a common word used in any given convsersation, whether used directly or indirectly. Human sexuality surrounds us in the biological and psychological aspects of the world. In this course, we gained the knowledge of the origin of the sexual revolution, sexually transmitted diseases, roles of men, and women in society, and how culture influenced in the shaping of human sexuality, so I think anyone would benefit from taking Human Sexuality. For example, people forget that the term “sex” refers to gender identity, sexual organs, and sexually transmitted diseases. This course helps people understand the world they live in from a different point of view. As I began to register for classes, I noticed that due to my late registration, I noticed that there were not many classes for me to choose from. I ended up registering for Human Sexuality, and when I first entered the …show more content…
Even in the beginning, when society restricted human sexuality publicly, for example, comparing how women used to dress before with all the clothes, corsets, and long puffy dresses in comparison to how women dress now with their tight small shirts and skinny jeans. Also, mentioning the famous Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytic theories using his “Fives Stages of Psychosexual Development”. Also, as we began to discuss Sexually Transmitted Diseases, I was in shock to actually learn how the Bacterial Vaginosis, Chlamydia, Genital Herpes, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV), Pubic Lice (Crabs), Scabies, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis and, Yeast Infections and other disease are left raw most of the time or how many people do not know that they have these diseases until they start to experience symptoms. Also, learning about gender identities was a fascinating fact because it helped me understand the gay community and their

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
Wysocki, 2015 estimated that half of all people in the United States will have contracted a sexually transmitted disease in their lifetime. Numerous young women under age 25 haven’t been screened and are asymptotic. Infections impact individuals of all economic levels and backgrounds. Three sexually transmitted diseases are required to be reported by physicians to public health officials. These three are syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. African American and Latinos have barriers which increase rates of sexually transmitted diseases (Sutton, 2012).
In James Baldwin’s short story “Sonny’s Blues”, two emotionally damaged brothers learn that communication is essential in strengthening their relationship. The logical narrator is Sonny’s older brother by seven years, who attempts to provide for the dreamer and fails. Sonny needs his music to escape the horror of his childhood, and the narrator feels guilty for not looking after him better. Trying to make up for his mistakes, the narrator makes an effort to talk to Sonny about the boy’s future in music, which he does not understand the necessity of, leading to frustration on both parts, fighting, and years of silence. Consumed by his inner loneliness, Sonny copes with Heroin and gets caught, while the narrator again feels responsible. After
Human sexuality can be fascinating, complex, contradictory, and sometimes frustrating. Sexuality is interwoven into every aspect of being human; therefore, having knowledge about sex is as essential as having education about human anatomy. However, it is highly recommended to pay close attention when sex education is delivered to youths. (Donatelle 171)
If sexual orientation is something that we can’t change or choose, then how are these specific preferences such as heterosexuality and homosexuality created? How does one person progress to either heterosexuality or homosexuality? Studies showed that there were genetic factors linked to influencing sexual orientation in males before they were born by increasing the female reproductive capacity in mothers during multiple births. (Iemmole, Ciani, 2008: 393) Though that doesn’t mean that there technically is a “gay gene” that has been discovered, just that several human genome studies has suggested promising areas of research that are pointing to that direction. (Iemmole, Ciani, 2008: 393) With more
In the article The World Is Not Black and White: Racial Bias in the Decision to Shoot in a Multiethnic Context Implicit racial biases were examined in the decision to shoot potentially hostile targets in a multiethnic context. Results of two studies showed that college aged participants and police officers showed anti-black racial bias in their response times: the participants were quicker to “correctly” shoot armed black men or targets and to indicate “don’t shoot” for unarmed Latino, Asian and white targets. In addition to this, the police officers showed racial biases in response times toward Latino versus Asians or whites, and surprisingly, toward whites versus Asians (Sadler, Correll, Park, Judd, 2012, pg.286). These results also
The scientific method is research of assumptions, scientifically to see if they are true or false. It is important in human sexuality research because first, people might be afraid to be honest about answers if they think that they're being judged. Sex is a very interesting topic, but people often think they're being judged and it is hard to open up. There are two scientific goals of sexology: understanding and predicting behavior. (pp.30). The scientific method is important research because it is free from bias. The scientific method is more based on facts, rather than opinions.
As you mentioned Rebecca Haglin provides examples of her on life and even goes on to use a single example of an experience in a sex education class by a couple young girls who were along for Spring Break. Unfortunately, she provides no valid statistics or reliable sources to support her claims that sex is becoming too casual. On the other hand, she does stress the importance of parents and teachers playing a larger role in educating the youth on the perils of sex. Not surprisingly, her idea of educating is teaching abstinence, which I think is unrealistic approach to sex education. I can understand preaching abstinence until a certain point in life but this education needs to be coupled with tools for how to protect themselves if and when
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.
In recent multicultural and globalized age, the number of immigrants tends to increase in many countries because many countries authorize right opportunity to their citizens to emigrate from their original birth countries to another. As consequence, the idea of citizenship became controversial subject by politically and personally perspective. Furthermore, dual citizenship was a disputed question within citizenship policies. In addition, Pogonyi (2011) claimed that from the nineteenth to half way through the twentieth, dual citizenship failed to be accepted by political policies, and also it was considered as political conflict compulsion. However, in recent decades citizenship policies of many democratic states have become widely incapable of adopting the changes and accepting dual citizenship. Pogonyi also argued that diffusion of the dual citizenship is often regarded as the
If for some reason the students are able to handle the lessons of sex, then that means they’re going to be motivated to want to have sex with each other--regardless their sexuality. Evidently this class is going to motivate them, the students, to have sex, and the students are not going to give a flip about the results. They’re going to eventually learn that sex can be a pleasurable action as explained in both stage three and five of Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual development theory. Stage three, which is the phallic stage, states that around the age of three to five years old, the child will seek for pleasure that is centered on masturbation and/or oral sex. Furthermore, stage five of the theory, which is the genital stage, states that around the age of 12 through adulthood centers on the seeking for sexual pleasuring through romantic
Throughout the course, Religion and Sexuality, I have gained new insights on religion and its relationship to sexuality, further, I have learned skills on how to approach people about such topics (religion and sexuality) and how to critically evaluate these subjects efficiently. Lastly, this course has enabled me to discover new qualities about myself.
Sex education, also known as sexuality education or sex and relationships education, is a process of giving knowledge and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. It is a broad term that describes education on human anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse,
