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 Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was created by sponsors U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes(D-MD) and U.S. Representative Michael G. Oxley (R-OH) in response to very public corporate fraud and accounting scandals. In a seemingly short period of time, Enron, Tyco International, Adelphia, Peregrine Systems and WorldCom all collapsed. The majority of these scandals resulted from the inaccurate reporting of financial transactions. The financial statements of these organizations were so gravely misrepresented and misstated that once the organizations' records were presented fairly, it caused the total collapse of the company. As a result of these scandals, investors lost billions of dollars when the share prices collapsed, and the public lost confidence in the nation's securities markets and the auditor who were supposed to protect the public's interest.…

    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.…

    We all as humans have sexual behaviors; it’s something that is a part of every one of us and part of our humanity. Sexual behavior is with you even before you are born, for example a fetus can actually express some sexual behaviors. These sexual behaviors are more likely to happen if the fetus is a male versus a female. These sexual behaviors start to arise when we are all in our infancy stage. The development of these behaviors continues through our age. One thing that male babies have are erections even before birth a unborn baby can have an erection. Baby girls experience something a little different. Baby girls start getting lubrication in their vaginal opening and also swelling. This also happens before birth. The ages that kids start showing pelvic thrusting is at about 8 to 12 months and begin to masturbate a few months after that. Kids while they are young experience sexual curiosity and behaviors and it’s a completely normal part of their growth and development. One specific game that children play is a kissing game, this kissing game involves sexual stimulus. In the adolescence stage which is ages 9 to 13 is when the child experiments with masturbation and is the top key sexual behavior at this age. The child will continue to show sexual curiosity and different sexual behaviors as they become older and go into the adult stage. At this stage the male and the female will experiment with mutual masturbation. Puberty also takes place, once puberty happens then reproduction is a possibility and something that can happen. During adolescence women start to menstruate. The body of a woman produces something called estrogen and with estrogen production it causes to form women body parts like breasts. Men produce something different, its called testosterone and this causes genital growth and other male behaviors. The number one outlet for sexual desires in the adolescence…

    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.…

    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.…

    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,…

    Sexual Code Of Ethics

    • 1137 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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…
