Understanding Human Relationships: Love & Sexuality
SPEECH ON TEENAGE SEXUALITY ISSUES

For teens, the mere thought of sex can be overwhelming. I know, I have been a teenager before. However, there is so much to think about, so much to worry about, and so much that can go wrong. Whether you are sexually active or not, knowing the facts about what sex is, and what it is not, is very important. And I am here to feed you with some knowledge about “What is SEX all about?” please, bear with me till then.

So now what is sex? What do we know about sex? Parents might say it's about our bodies or our hormones, about our feelings and our relationships, or about touching and being touched. Some might think it's about doing or engaging in one kind of sex or any kind of sex, or about wanting, seeking out or experiencing certain kinds of pleasure. Others might say it's about parts of our identity, like our gender identity or sexual orientation. Biology teachers might say it's about reproduction: about making babies (or not). You might say it's about our desires to be close to -- or far away from -- other people in ways we define or experience as sexual, or about feeling horny, lusty, tingly, mingly, hungry, itchy, twitchy or whatever words you use to express a strong feeling of "I want to have sex NOW."

If any one of those things were your answers, you're right. If all or most of those things were your answers, you're even more right. But allow me to rephrase all these in a more appropriate way so that you would get a better insight of SEX.

Sex involves physical and emotional touch. It is risky; as you can get pregnant – for females, worse a sexually transmitted infection, on top of all these, you can get your heart broken or your ego bruised, or might even feel let down and disappointed when it is over. Sex; it is a milestone; you only get one chance to lose your virginity. So think before doing it girls. It is sensitive; be sure that the timing is right for you and your

    The term sexuality, is described by The Penguin Dictionary of Sociology (Abercrombie et al. 2000:313) as ‘the mode by which sexual interests and sexual preferences are expressed '. Sexuality is described by biologist David Buss, (Myers 2001) as the instinctive and innate behavioral tendencies that increase the likelihood of sending ones genes into future offspring. Sexuality is not one 's sex, which is simply ones physiological and anatomical characteristics of maleness or femaleness (Marieb 2001). Also, sexuality is not ones gender, which is the socially learned characteristics or roles of maleness or femaleness (Poole & Jureidini 2000). These terms, sex and gender, imply the differences between men and women physiologically and characteristically. Sexuality is not sex or gender, although sexuality is somewhat intertwined with the two. Sexuality is sexual behavior; the ‘behavior related to copulation and similar activities ' (Oakley, 1985 p.99: as cited in Zajdow 2002:63). Sexuality is the whole area of actions and thoughts surrounding ‘achieving and having sexual relations ' (Pinker 1997). The behaviors one exhibits when attracting a partner, the interactions with other humans in a sexual manner, and actual sexual activities, are all components of sexuality (Vida 1996).…

    In an article written by Deborah Myers, Educating our Teens about Sex, she writes that it is extremely important they we as parents start to talk to our children when they are younger about their body parts and how they function. By doing this when they are young, this lays the foundation for more detailed conversation about sexuality when they are older. There will be less embarrassment and they are more likely to come to the parent with questions and advise on topics as they get older. By approaching the subject of sexuality naturally and as a healthy bodily function, this eliminates guilt and fears associated with the subject.…

    It’s no secret that we all have sex. Every person grows up as an individual, learning things about themselves as they go along, as well as learning about others. We all eventually end up calling someone else our significant other, whether it be of the same sex or not, and we all end up making personal decisions about our sexual identity and actions as we progress through life. We define our sexual identities of something unique to only us and we acquire our identities with a mix of influences: biological, psychological, social, cultures, values, and society in the time in which we are growing up. After such influences, we make the choice when to lose our virginity, when to start dating, whether or not to use precautions during sexual intercourse, when to bear our first child, and so on. There are many stages of life a person goes through before they actually know everything about themselves, know their true gender role, and sexual identity.…

    Before this class I hadn’t put much thought into my sexual philosophy, and how that has changed throughout the years. Growing up my view on sex was distorted, because I didn’t know what it was until high school due to the misinformation that I had gathered throughout the years. My parents never had the “sex talk” with me and never discussed it. I believe that this may have had a lot to do with the fact that they grew up in a catholic household and didn’t have the talk with their parents, and the fact that it may have been uncomfortable as I was the oldest and only girl in my family, and the assumption that my school would take care of it. During middle school, the information that I had gathered about sex was that it involved kissing, no clothing,…

    Sex Ed

    When I think of the word “sex” I think of intimacy, privacy, and discretion. For most teenagers sex is just what is popular at the time. They don’t understand that it is not like any other fad. Now that sex has become popular it is the parents’ job to do something to change it. Children are taught how to interact with others and the difference of what is right and wrong by their parents from birth. If parents don’t teach their kids that no amount of popularity is worth the burden of a child at a young age then no one will. In Anna Quindlen’s essay “Sex Ed” she sat with six 16 year old girls at a family planning clinic in New York, the girls knew a lot about sex but were also pregnant. Where were their parents? Schools are wasting their money on sex ed classes. Do you really want a stranger to teach your child about sex anyway? It is important for our children to be educated about sexuality, but it is not the schools’ place to teach it.…

    Many teenagers just don't understand the responsibilities that go along with being sexually active, they don't even think about them. But maybe they should sit back and think before taking part. People should not be having sex just to have it, but because they are in love. The only time premarital sex may be okay is in the boundaries of a loving, trusting relationship. Other wise you will most likely regret it when you get older.…

    Sexual Code Of Ethics

    I would define sex as the penetration of a male’s penis into a woman’s vagina by heterosexual definition. Sex is a big deal. It is the most appealing, common and acceptable sexual behavior among heterosexuals. My belief is that sex should be used in the context of marriage exclusively by a man and a woman. I also believe that in order to have sex with someone it requires full trust, communication, and the ultimate commitment, marriage because when you choose to have sex with someone you also choose to give them a part of yourself as well. If you have these factors in your sexual interactions with your significant other than you do not have to worry about the stress and unhappiness that comes along with relationship that do not have commitment. Sex is enjoyable and a pleasurable experience and when you find that one person that you want to share yourself with it is one of the most emotionally, physically, and mentally connecting moments to your…

    Children are the future generation of the world. Their mind, belief and understanding of life are created through the baseline of their childhood. Educating a young child about sex can be a difficult subject to come across. Schools around the world have slowly incorporated some type of abstinence-only sex education for children, yet, the sex education that students receive lack a good foundation for them. The abstinence- only sex education program only focuses on promoting abstinence from sex, character building, does not teach about contraception and condom use, avoids talking about sexually transmitted diseases, and does not acknowledge that teenagers will become sexually active (Fentahun, 2012). The sex education programs in school have…

    Good Sex

    • 288 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Good sex is the one on one intimacy you have with the person that you love as opposed to just hooking up with someone that you don’t have strong feelings for. Mutual attraction is also needed for good sex. Not only must you be attracted physically and emotionally, but you should also display your attraction towards that person. The other person should also display the attraction they feel towards you. Physical attraction is being attracted to their body and the way they look, also known as thinking that they are hot. The other person must be attracted to you as well and show their attraction which would boost your confidence. Being attracted to a person emotionally is being in love with them and truly caring about how the sex feels for them. If you are emotionally attracted to someone you want to make sure that they are enjoying the sex and feel just as amazing as you do. The actions that lead up to the sex can turn average sex into good sex. For example, if it is the first time you are seeing that person for quite some time it can make the sex good because of lust. I love romantic gestures; therefore, I would be turned on if the person I am having sex with goes out of their way to make the setting romantic with flowers, candles, etc. Foreplay such as blowjobs and fingering can also affect the outcome of the sex. All in all, great sex includes loving the person you are having sex with, being attracted physically and emotionally to that person, having that person be attracted physically and emotionally to you, length of separation from that person, romantic setting, and…
