Hi Everyone and Welcome to the Wonder of Blogging!! I'm flattered that some of you have chosen to follow my blog post. For those who don't know me; I am a volunteer Peer REACH Educator for USF Wellness. As a Peer REACH Educator, I'm responsible to aware other students on the subjects of: Sex, Drugs or Alcohol. Let's face it there is a lot of myths on those subjects for instance; SIZE MATTERS!! NO IT DOESN'T PEOPLE!! There is no correlation between hands or feet to Penis size.
What is sex?
Sex. When people hear that word, they automatically assume the act of sex or intercourse. Sex isn't just the act its biological and gender. Sex is the foundation of one's genetics that make you a boy or a girl or inter-sexed. Gender is quite difficult to understand. Gender is the way one was brought up. I am a female. Gender is difficult to understand because as one may now, some civilians don't identify with their gender. Someone can be by nature a female but may identify as a male. I know this sounds confusing at first but it gets better.
How Does Sex play in our Society?
Sex, is important in our culture. Without some knowledge of it your parents wouldn't have ever made you. Most people experiment with a range of sexual activities during their lives, though they tend to engage in only a few of these regularly. Most people enjoy some sexual activities. Some people enjoy many different sexual activities, while others avoid sexual activities altogether for religious or other reasons (chastity, sexual abstinence, asexuality). Some prefer monogamous relationships for sex, and others may prefer many different partners throughout their lives.
Why do we have sex?
People engage in sexual activity for any of a multitude of possible reasons.
Most people engage in sexual activity because of the sexual pleasure they derive from the activity, most commonly through orgasm. Erotic pleasure can also be experienced during foreplay and from flirting, and from fetish or BDSM (Bondage and Principles, sadism and Masochism) activities. The most common pleasurable sexual activities are sexual intercourse (including foreplay) and masturbation.
Most commonly, people engage in sexual activity with a person to whom they are sexually attracted; but at times, a person may engage in a sexual activity solely for the sexual pleasure of the partner, such as because of an obligation they may have to the partner or because of sympathy or pity they may feel for the partner.
Also, a person may engage in sexual activity for purely monetary considerations, or to obtain some advantage from either the partner or the activity. Furthermore, a man and woman may engage in sexual intercourse with the objective of conception. Some people engage in hate sex, which occurs between two people who strongly dislike or annoy each other. It is related to the idea that opposition between two people can heighten sexual tension, attraction and interest.
What's to come?
I hope all of you have had a taste of what my future blogs are going to be. You might learn new facts and share it. Don't be hesitant to tell me in class what a good topic on "Sex" should I discuss.
Remember: DON'T BE SILLY WRAP YOUR WILLY!!
BOOKS BEFORE BOYS BECAUSE BOYS BRING BABIES!!
Wow interesting blog. I think you picked a really cool topic because it is a very common and open subject in our generation; also since your apart of an organization that deals with that subject, you can share more facts about sex with the class. I took a class about sex during the summer (called Human Sexual Behavior) and I learned many things I did not know before. It was my first sexual education class and I did not know what to expect. But it focused on many of the points that you mentioned, like the difference between gender and sex. I found it interesting to learn that the media have such a strong influence on the way we perceive sex and sexuality. Many shows and commercials use sex appeal to increase their ratings or to sell a product and the fact is… it works. Anyway, I’m interested in knowing more of what is going on around us so again, good choice of topic.
ReplyDeleteWell I think you've picked the most intresting topic so far. That's awesome how your a volunteer for REACH and you are well informed. You got to share some of this with us in class. You have alot of facts of what sex is and how we see sex. And I took that Sex Class in the summer too and geez you do learn ALOT well more than what I already knew. But it's going to be awesome how you are going to be posting more and more facts on the topic. It's something to look forward honestly and I guess I'm going to be learning alot this year.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I have some feeling that my dear friend Gladys would decide to dedicate her blog to sex and its do's and don't's? But anyway, this blog definately took me back to Deidre's Sex Health decision Making class over the summer where we learned so many things about the world of Sex. Sex is a word that so many people shy away from and I feel that it shouldn't be looked down upon as much as it is because without it, where would any of us be? There are wrongs and rights of it yes, but with more education and willingness to know about it and interest shown in trying to know more about it, it will make a world of difference. I don't think that there is a set chart of the things you can do when it comes to sex but there must be responsibilty. So you tell 'em girl! Let everyone know that the withdrawl and pray method won't always work for you everytime! This is going to be an INTERESTING blog to comment on no doubt.
