In Suzanne Kesslers article “ The Medical Construction of Gender” physicians handle intersex infants a defect that needs be corrected. The need to find the baby's gender is crucial in western culture, even though their are typically no biological threats to the babies health. When an intersexed baby is born physicians immediately test the babies hormone levels to discover the babies “true sex” since being both male and female is not possible in our culture. A primary factor in determining the sex is the penis size, if the baby has an average sized penis then they will most likely be reconstructed as a boy but if there penis is too small than the babies so called penis must be an oversized clitoris. The importance of diagnosing the child is stressed at birth because physicians want the baby to grow up with their gender identity and gender roles in society match.
Obligations (As a single mother, whom kept making the wrong choices in men, my obligation to my family is my reason for being non-sexual. I have made the informed choice to wait on getting involved in a sexual relationship because of my college studies is top priority as well as, my children’s happiness. An obligation to achieving a goal is a good reason to be abstinence. 5. Call to Action (You asked the question “How can I be successful at practicing abstinence?” According to the American pregnancy Association here are some helpful tips; Do things with friends or with groups, go on double dates, minimize physical interaction that could lead passionate moments and last but not least avoid situations when you’re alone.
Quindlen herself reminds us several times about how she is going to make sure her sons know about what will happen if they get a girl pregnant and how to avoid it at all costs. These "moral component[s]" create a brief backing for any further knowledge she will back her essay with. Logically Quindlen places each point from most common to those less heard. From "how long sperm lived inside the body" to how being called a virgin is "shorthand for geek, nerd [and] weirdo" (271-72). She also uses a time period change from the late sixties where "there was a straightforward line on sex... boys could have it; girls couldn't" and those having it never admitted it and would pretend she still was.
Surveys could be a good thing with the questionnaires and interviews if all the people were honest during the survey, or people could have been dishonest and didn’t want to reveal the truth maybe because they feel ashamed for masturbating at a young age or being sexually active before marriage. There are four different types of methods: case studies, survey, direct observation, and experimental method. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method. The advantages for Kinsey’s survey research method are people were more open to talk about sex and if Kinsey interviewed other ethnicities, he would have had different results. The disadvantages are that Kinsey only interviewed white, middle class and college
Even children’s programming has some sort of sexual innuendo in it. It sparks there curiosity and leads to them having sex at an earlier age. Why would you not want to educate them on safe sex and how to protect themselves against disease? While I do agree with Rush Limbaugh on the fact that the only way to prevent disease and unwanted pregnancy is to abstain from sex, but what happens when they do decide to have sex and have no idea how to use a condom? There will be diseases spread and unwanted pregnancies.
Pornography helps us to free ourselves from the abstinent attitudes about sex that have long dominated our society. As for that, opponents believe that pornography is not harmful and should therefore be legally tolerated. I totally disagree with that statement as pornography causes people to have more negative attitudes towards women to engage in harmful behaviours like rape and child molestation. We can find pornography facilitates and child molestation in several ways. For example, pedophiles often prefer children close to puberty who are sexually inexperienced and use pornographic photos to demonstrate to their victims what they want them to do.
It would not cure the issue at hand but it might help in the long run. I feel that we as parents need to talk to our children about sex, so they don’t listen to the media. What are the effects of the media’s portrayal of sexuality on adolescents’ sexual lives? On the positive side, many teens say they have learned something helpful from sexual scenes on TV, like how to say no to a sexual situation that makes them uncomfortable (60%) and how to talk to a partner about safer sex (43%). The survey, Teens, Sex and TV, is a nationally representative sample of more
