Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.” (WHO, 2006a) Sexual orientation is an enduring personal quality that inclines people to feel romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or to both sexes or more than one gender. These attractions are generally subsumed under heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality, while asexuality (the lack of romantic or sexual attraction to others) is sometimes identified as the fourth category. Sexual expression is a somewhat vague term that is used to describe not only sexual activities we engage in, but ways we communicate and present ourselves to the world as a sexual being. Our sexual
Sexual decisions affect not only our physical wellbeing but our mental and even spiritual wellbeing too. Positive sexual experiences can make us more confident in how we see ourselves, raise our self-esteem, and make us hold ourselves in a generally higher regard. Negative sexual experiences can sometimes irreparably damage our self-esteem and self-image, making us perpetually insecure and unsure, making it difficult for us to have healthy personal relationships both platonic and sexual. It is up to us to decide which decisions will be for our ultimate benefit or loss, and running it through the filter of critical thinking is a way to judge this. In my own life I used critical thinking perhaps less often than I should have when making sexual decisions, however, there was one area that I am proud to say I always exhibited control over- contraception.
I will be discussing the arguments of two a Philosopher who wrote in the midst of the sexual liberation. Thomas Nagel has closely related arguments with some points of agreement and some in contention. Thomas Nagel establishes the “sex as communication” metaphor when he presents his own argument for what constitutes sexual perversion. Before he makes his case he offers what he calls the “skeptical argument”. This argument contends that sex is an appetite like any other, with a number of ways of being sated.
With that being said, pornography could be moral if it brought out happiness after viewing pornographic material. Pornography is something that has been around for many years, there have been many debates on whether or not pornography is moral or immoral. From Utilitarianism view on pornography it is said to be morally correct as long as it brought happiness and pleasure for people for the greater good. An example of this would be through an artistic viewpoint. An artist painting a naked woman or naked man would see pornography as something beautiful or stunning, and that it would help create art.
You hold it together with sex, and use anger in arguements to try to force the other person to understand, rather then calmly explain so that they can understand. If anger becomes the tool in your relationship it will either end it, or lead to an unhelathy relationship. However I belive that if you two can learn to talk and express your hurts things can work out into a beautiful relationship. You two have so much in common, and have very real feelings for each other. And ill be around as long as it is conveient for
To be able to work on understanding his sexual inappropriateness, Bradley will first need to recognize how it affects others and be able to view his behaviors from the victim’s point of view. It may be helpful to create role plays with Bradley to be able to fully show him the impact of his actions. Also, it would be beneficial to provide Bradley with healthy sexuality and sex education classes. This is due to helping Bradley create positive cognitive processes about sexual
Popular magazines tell the truth about sex. Do you agree? Would Foucault agree? Discuss in relations to representation of sexuality in popular magazines and so-called ‘natural’ distinctions between men and women. According to (Williamson 1978), “people are made to identify themselves with what they consume”.
In total opposition to this belief is determinism, the theory that all behaviour is pre-ordained and we cannot chose our destiny so to speak. This idea can be most clearly seen in psychological approaches such as the biological or the behaviourist. Other approaches such as the cognitive approach present the idea of soft determinism, the suggestion that whilst some behaviour is determined we still have some degree of control and choice over what we do. The most firm believers in free will are humanistic psychologists. The humanistic approach has been praised for its great emphasis on autonomy, the idea that we have control over everything we do.
Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defence mechanism of repression. He is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life which is directed toward a wide variety of objects; as well as his therapeutic techniques, including his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship and the presumed value of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires. Freud is often referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his work has been highly influential making such notions as the unconscious, the Oedipus complex, defence mechanisms, Freudian slips and dream symbolism popular. Freud proposed that the psyche could be divided into three parts: Ego, super-ego, and id. The id is known as the child-like portion of the psyche that is very impulsive and only takes into account what it wants and disregards all consequences.
