Sexual intercourse in every culture and religion are all different from same gender

sex, age of Marriage, giving birth, or even becoming a sexual partner with one or more

people.Living in America, We are a melting pot and have lots of open people when it

comes to same sex marriage being legal in every state in America. (newsweek.com

supremecourtgaymarriagelegalall50states.com). After doing more research and reading

many of the articles my mind started really thinking of what I value in my own sexual

culture and religion. However, each person is different based on morals and

what environment they were raised in.

Having one or more sexual partner could make or break your future for yourself and

partner. For example, …show more content…

Both are actually very hard to maintain for ourselves and partners. However, I

believe sexual restraint contains much more belief and practice. Sex is very common

now of days in America in any state.There is more credence and truth behind the sexual

restraint theory based off of religion and culture ethics.In the book “Modesty and Sexual

Restraint” Celia Rothenburg explains how sexual restraint is highly elaborate to daily life

in the Islamic cultures in the Middle East and North Africa.

America is a melting pot with all cultures and religion more and more

people feel a certain way against sex and marriages. Also, it depends what generations

and Age groups you are looking at comparing ethics. For example, My Father who is

now 53 would not let me have a boyfriend or go on birth control until I was 16 years old.

However, My dad had his first girlfriend at the age of 20. Rules, Morals, and respect is

something I always Wanted to feel being who I am as a person which most people want

to feel that way too. Sexual Compatibility is easier to be given in to as far as a sexual

satisfaction, but denial id common in the world between ourselves and

In Sex in the Heartland, Beth Bailey details how the cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s manifested in the seemingly polarized town of Lawrence, Kansas. Though the town was small and was in no way revolutionary like the cities of New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, the city of Lawrence was conditioned by many outside social, cultural, and political aspects, which led to it having such an intricate role in the sexual revolution and the other cultural and social movements of the 1960s. Beth Bailey seems to argue that Lawrence, despite being a small town in the heart of the American farmland and no where near any so-called powder-kegs of the 1960s was still able to become a central location for vocalization because of the roles of

Ceara Cavalieri HIST107H Waddington Puritan Sexuality in the 17th Century The typical stereotype of a Puritan is widely described as religious extremists whom held strong beliefs against sexual pleasure in its entirety, causing them to be sexually oppressed. Although there have been instances of deviancy being punished for sexual acts, for the most part these acts received lighter sentencing than their laws were said to uphold. This is due to the Puritan ideology that man is flawed and deserves forgiveness. Puritan sexuality was extremely complex—more than many realize.

Generational Attitude Changes About Sex "Changing Attitudes about Sex" an article from Obesity, Fitness, & Wellness Week (2015), informs the reader that the growing acceptance for same-sex sexual relations, premarital sex, and a greater number of sexual partners is due to the growing inevitable need for individualism in younger generations. From the trivial topic of mandatory uniforms in school to the foremost political debate over same-sex marriage the controversial word that unites the topics is individualism. Most people feel as if they have the freedom to be themselves in every aspect of everything they do. People express themselves and communicate to others not only through what they say but as well as what they wear and how they carry themselves. Ranging from the people born in the 1900 's to people born as late as 1990 's as each generation grows so does the acceptance for premarital sex, multiple sexual partners, and same-sex

a. There are many advantages to being single such as personal freedom, privacy, financial independence, mobility, career opportunities, and the ability to form personal friendships. Nonetheless, the disadvantages are just as numerous including loneliness, social disapproval over time, safety concerns for women, and the fact that economic pressures rely solely on you. Contemporary sexual scripts have come a long way from the traditional ones as the gap and standards we hold between men and women narrows. Today, sexual scripts show that sexual expression is positive, non-marital sex is okay in the context of relationships, sex is for the mutual exchange of pleasure, and that sexual activities can be initiated by either partner.

A discourse community is a group of people who share common interests, goals, and beliefs. In order to become a part of a discourse community one to should appeal to logic, credibility, and emotions. Appealing to logic can occur through the representation statistics and facts, appealing to credibility can be shown through past experiences, and appealing to people’s emotions can be seen through telling personal stories. People use these strategies in order to become a part of something different and new. I will demonstrate how I became a part of the piano playing discourse through researching information on my own, showing my past experiences, and explaining the passion and attachment that I have for the piano.

Throughout history and continuing through into modern times, homosexuality has often been a point of controversy and discussion. Accompanied by this progression throughout history is the culture of many people becoming distanced from a strictly religious viewpoint, and rather adapting themselves to the secularization of society. In modern day, homosexuality is generally being met with less prejudice, with same-sex couples increasingly becoming regarded as relationships of equal esteem. However, with this also comes those who continue to adhere to quite strict religious practice, where the influence of their religion is greater than that of the secular society. This is exhibited through Roman Catholicism and Islam, whose scriptures parallel

To summarize my thoughts and research on sexuality there are an endless amount of perspectives on what people think sexuality and morality are and what they should be. I presented facts and my opinion on how I believe that everything is a case by case scenario and that you are ultimately the main factor in if these things will affect your relationships. I don 't think you should refrain from sexual relations or what people refer to as "sowing wild oats" whatsoever but I also don 't think you should just try to have relations with every and any person available because I believe that can hurt future relationships. I think you should just let life take its course and make right decisions based around emotions and physical attraction but not worry too much about how it could possibly affect a future relationship because you won 't be living your life.

Marriage is a contract between two people and honestly I think that the society should not be interfering this bond. Not permitting the right to marry another human is a severe violation of the human rights and freedom. James Carville “I was against gay marriage until I realized that I didn’t have one.” The statement is self-explanatory: “You don’t get to judge because you don’t have the
