Joseph Fletcher in ‘situation ethics’ when approaches to sex and relationships became freer because of contraceptive pill. Situation ethics seeks equal treatment of everyone and acts out of love.

Love is not something only between male and female but all of the people, no matter he or she, young and old. First, it is about the birth of desire showed in speech of Aristophance. Next, it will be focus on dialogue between Diotima and Socrates about what is Love and sane-sex love. Third, it is about Michel Foucault idea of true sex using Alexina as a case. The birth of desire according to Aristophanes is due to the lack.
Most individual's only view sexual desire as an outlet to engage in the physical aspect of sex. However, there is more to having sex than physical satisfaction. The traditional purpose of sexual activity or sexual desire was primarily for reproduction which could be categorized as a naturalistic point of view. This type of perspective was very similar to Christian outlooks on sexual behavior. According to the teachings of Christianity sexual desire was only useful within the sanctity of marriage.
Whether Dimmesdale decided to reveal his deep dark hidden secret or not, merely has no significance. As Puritan Society stated, women were more prone to be sinners; the envisioned picture of me was already painted as the corrupter. Is that moral? Would God find this acceptable because the Puritan Society apparently does. If Dimmesdale had came forth, it might have saved him from the mental and physical deterioration but would the Puritan Society had honestly punished him the way I had been?
Lewis explains that this happiness is only “sexual happiness”. Lewis emphasizes in this article that we do have a right to pursue happiness as far as it follows Natural (moral) Law, and legal Law. To Lewis, this situation was not abiding by moral law. Lewis’ statement that “our sexual impulses are thus being put in a position of preposterous privilege. The sexual motive is taken to condone all sorts of behavior which, if it had any other end in view, we would be condemned as merciless, treacherous, and unjust.” rings so true to me.
We need to step away from the forces that not only make us ashamed of our mestizo skin, but also of our language and sexuality. Sexuality in Chicanas has been historically neglected, with the majority of focus going towards male’s sexual desire. Anzaldua explains the way that our language “is a male discourse.” (Anzaldua, pp. 76) Our Spanish language has been utilized to enforce male dominance denying females even the smallest ability to expert their female being. We need to create a new identity where we openly explore the pleasures of our sexuality, our pride in our brown skin and the creation of a language that does not only focus on the male
just as we do but different sexual orientation. To me, I don’t care if you a Homosexual, as long as you’re comfortable with your sexuality, that’s fine with me. Also that’s just being very Page 2 judgmental. If I was president, would make Homosexual marriage legal because they have a right to love and to care just like we do. 3.
c. Rape is motivated only by a desire for sex. Rape is actually an expression of power that uses sex to humiliate,
I attempt to follow a value rule that is based on “utilitarianism” (Rathus, et al., 2005, p. 6), in which my values reflect concern for the greater good of society’s majority, rather than my own. As with my value system, my critical thinking skills in making decisions about sex have long been set. I remain skeptical of the beliefs and biases of others, preferring to come to my own conclusions concerning sex and what I find sexually stimulating. However, I fervently condemn many behaviors as immoral, such as rape, unethical as in the case of adultery, or against nature as with practicing bestiality. Other sexual behaviors, whether I agree with them, or not, such as sodomy, sexual preference, and any other sexual choices that does not harm another, are not mine to judge.
The Right to be Equal Imagine not reaping the benefits of marrying a loved one or getting turned down at a job interview not because of your resume but because of your sexual orientation. Imagine living a lie to make others happy and disguising yourself to be the ideal human being in the eyes of society, all because being a homosexual is different. Although rights for homosexuals have improved a great deal, the gay community is often still frowned upon and lacks equality. Homosexual lifestyles need to continue to be recognized and offered the same rights as heterosexuals. All people deserve the right to life, liberty and happiness, regardless of their sexual orientation.
