Safe Sex On College Campuses

While attending the facility myself, the school did not provide any forms of contraceptives for the students. According to current students, the school still does not supply contraceptives. Besides providing education about sex we need provide ways to have safe sex. The likeliness of getting all teens to stop having sex is impossible, but the possibility of adolescents having protected sex is quite possible. After working in retail for three years, I have seen contraceptives for both men and women being stolen almost daily. This allows us to believe people want to have protected sex; however, some of individuals do not have the money to acquire

Studies have also shown that abstinence-focused programs have failed to reduce STI rates. The American Sexual Health Association states, “More than half of all people will have an STD/STI at some point in their lifetime,” (“Statistics”). Comprehensive sex education would teach teenagers how to improve their sexual health, prevent unwanted pregnancies, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Providing students with this information does not encourage them to participate in sexual activity sooner. Several findings show that, “[Comprehensive sex education] effectively promotes abstinence and may delay sexual debut, reduce sexual frequency, reduce the number of sexual partners, reduce STI risk, and increase the likelihood of consistent contraceptive use,” (Jeffries 173). Comprehensive sex education will be beneficial to students by teaching them how to have sexual intercourse safely, if they choose to not remain abstinent.

It is pertinent to ensure that we are able to provide the populous with the facts in regards to being responsible and safe when choosing to engage in intercourse. Due to the availability of sexual material, it is fair to say that this generation will continue to carry the torch of exploring and redefining casual sex. These points help propel Lara Riscol’s argument ahead of Rebecca Hagelin ‘s view. Despite her strong arguments, Rebecca Hagelin fails to identify how the responsibility for an individual’s actions become his or her own and are no longer the responsibility of the parent and teacher. College is often viewed as the time in which young men and women take what was taught to them by their parents and teachers as guidance on how to handle situations on their own. During this time if they were reared right, they will learn how to handle sexual situations and avoid being irresponsible if they choose to engage in these activities. One of the great benefits of becoming an adult is the ability to make your own decisions and the key element to making a wise decision is gathering all the facts in regards to that decision. I believe that by teaching young adults avoidance without providing the information needed in case they choose not to avoid is an

It’s back to school time and while most people don’t necessarily want to think about it, STD’s are very prevalent among college students. Partying and social engagements, are a big pastime and stress-reliever for many college students, which sometimes result in sexual encounters than can unfortunately, end with one or both parties contracting an STI. While that should not deter students from enjoying themselves, they still need to know about and be safe in regards to sexual encounters during their college career.

College campuses have seen a rise, in the epidemic of Sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases have quickly become a household name amongst Americans. The dangers and health issues related to acquiring a STD has been the reason why more attention has been brought to the STD epidemic. The reason for this attention is to hopefully, slow down the rate of STD’S amongst students. There is a very astonishing fact stated by the Agape Pregnancy Resource Center, “Nearly 80% percent of people that are infected with STD’s do not know it. ("Agape Pregnancy Resource Center") The use of condoms, knowing your status, and the practice of abstinence are very effective ways of avoiding contracting STD’s. If we do not make students

Numerous sexual partners enables the chances of contracting an STI, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Syphilis, to increase; that being said, statistics indicate that one in every five teens has had four or more sexual partners. Teens of the ages 15 through 19 are among the highest rates of the population infected with the previously mentioned sexually transmitted diseases. Teens engaging in sexual activity are often exposed to diseases without full understanding of the ease that these infections can be transmitted; students need to be exposed to the severe consequences in order to promote more cautious future decisions, like the amount of sexual encounters. Many young males and females never acquire information on the numerous sexually transmitted infections that they could catch and distribute nor how to prevent or treat such diseases. The statistics of high school students that document receiving counseling on STDs and STD testing at a routine checkup with their doctor meets low expectations, recording at 42.8 percent for females and only 26.4 percent for males. The high rates of infected teens could be directly related to the lack of knowledge they receive on the possible diseases that can be distributed through sex. Without proper knowledge on sexually transmitted diseases, the

According to Koumans et. al (2005), there have not been any studies conducted on STD education or services provided by higher education institutions here in the U.S. However, several studies demonstrate that misinformation and lack of educational resources contribute to risky sexual behavior which can lead to STDs (Wyatt & Oswalt, 2014).Therefore, it is imperative that universities and colleges find ways to increase awareness of sexual health services available for students on campus.

Comprehensive education teaches students about contraception, including emergency contraception, reproductive choices, LGBT issues, anatomy, and other traditional topics, including abstinence, as part of the curriculum, because of this comprehensive education is referred to by some as abstinence plus. (“Comprehensive Sex Education vs. Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage-Programs”) Comprehensive education focuses on giving student options on how to manage if they do choose to have sex. As the average age at which Americans start having sex drops, teaching students about how to prevent or deal with sexually transmitted diseases and avoid unplanned pregnancy becomes increasingly important. (“Sex Education Promotes Understanding and Safety”) 34% of sexually active students said they didn’t use a condom the last time they had sex, which is what increases the odds of getting an STD or becoming

Adlerian, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy are three major theories that are used today. All three theories have things that make them similar as well as different.

College campuses everywhere are teeming with budding young adults, and the subject of casual sex among them has never been so open. Especially now that women are bringing their sexuality into conversation more often. Though there has always been a presence of hooking up within the college experience, it seems that millennials seem to be sleeping around more than the generations before them. Comparisons must be made between the casual sex scene on campuses now, and the way it was with previous generations, as well as the causes of the changes in the casual sex game and the pros and cons for women as they are the ones mostly affected by these changes. However, first a solid definition of hooking up must be

In Chapter 8 of, “Culture Anthropology”, Guest provides several interesting topics that society faces or has continued to face with sexuality. I felt the most vexing issue that stood out to me personally was the section of sexuality and power on U.S. college campuses. As important as sexual awareness is in society, I was not aware of how it affected U.S. college campuses. The college provides the backbone of starting new relationships and expressing sexuality. These new relationships can generate positive attributes, however, what has continued to plague schools is the attention that sexual violence has on college campuses. In my opinion, the most important matter addressed while evolving as a freshman at the University of Oregon was my awareness of sexual violence. Through Chapter 8, I was able to explore how sexuality is conducted through society including its uses through U.S. college campuses.

The reason why high-risk sex still occurs among the well-educated reasonably affluent Americans is because in the heat of the moment they tend not to think about it. It’s more that they think about the lust and passion they’re having for the other person that is distracting their mind even if they’re knowledgeable on the subject of safe sex. I believe that people should really focus on protecting themselves from diseases by keeping protection always on you if you feel that it’s likely that you will end up in a ‘eventful’ night that day. Education plays a huge role in educating children around their teen years and above about how they can protect themselves from sexual transmitted diseases, and what they are. Studies has shown that a well implemented

The United States sex education poorly educates students on how to protect themselves from both unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease. When one looks at data comparing the United States to countries with comprehensive sex education, you can see the significant difference in numbers of these issues. You can also see how the lack of education among students leads to more sexual harassment towards females. In order to combat these issues, the United States should put in place a better education strategy that teaches young adults how to have safe sex that prevents unwanted pregnancy and STIs, instead of stressing the importance of abstinence.

Conceptual model also is known as grand theory is used to explain philosophical standpoint. The theory consists of concepts and rational statements used to describe their relationship. Scientific theories are considered law because of their relationship which has evidence. Middle range theories are relevant to both research and practice. it developed from qualitative data, clinical experiences, clinical practice guidelines. Middle range theory compared with the grand theory is less abstract, and more frequently used. Middle range theory helps the practitioner to understand their patient’s behavior to be able to come up with interventions that are beneficial to the patient. (Grove, S., Burns, N., & Gray, J.,

Coinciding with the onslaught of the new millennium, schools are beginning to realize that the parents are not doing their job when it comes to sexual education. The school system already has classes on sexual education; these classes are based mainly on human anatomy. Most schools do not teach their students about relationships, morals, respect, self-discipline, self-respect, and most importantly contraceptives. Everyday students engage in sexual activity, many of them with out condoms. This simple act jeopardizes these students' futures and possibly their lives. An increasing amount of school systems are starting to combine messages involving abstinence from sexual activity,
