Premarital Sex Essay
Premarital Sex
Premarital sex is defined as when two people begin to engage in sexual intercourse before
marriage. In todays society premarital sex has become part of the norm and has been accepted.
Many young adults are living together before marriage and engaging in sexual activity. It has
become apparent that more people are involving themselves in premarital sex and do not
acknowledge that it is an immoral act. Sex has become a symbol for pleasure and is no longer
considered sacred in today's society. I believe sex before marriage should not be accepted and that
abstinence should be promoted more. According to civil law, the church/divine law and the
teachings we learned in Grade 12 religion class, premarital sex is an immoral...show more content...
According to God, sex is supposed to be meant for reproduction and love, not for pleasure and lust.
The act of sex is behavior that goes against our faith and beliefs. The bible is our standard of what
is right and wrong. In the bible it states, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8). This
means that God views the sin of premarital sex as equal to murder, prostitution, and lying. Even
though society accepts fornication, it doesn't mean God does. As Catholics we are to follow his
blessings and teachings regardless of society. God wants us to be pure until it is the appropriate
time and to flee from our selfish desires. "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man
commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not
know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from
God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (1
Corinthians 6:18–20). This scripture means that premarital sex is not only a sin against God but it is
also a sin against your own body. Our bodies are sacred and pure; once we have sex we loose our
purity and wholesomeness. God gave us our body and we are to cherish it and respect his

Sex and Gender Essay
Sex and Gender The terms employed most frequently to describe the differences between men and
women are 'sex' and 'gender'. Sex refers to the differing physical attributes of women and men (Lee,
Shaw). The categories of sex are male and female. In every society sex differences are given social
meanings. Social identity, which is confessed on the basis of assumed sexual differences, is called "
gender" (Lee, Shaw). People are born female or male, but learn to be girls and boys, who grow into
men and women. Males are supposed to be masculine, strong, and macho, while females are
attributed to be feminine, fragile,...show more content...
Gender differences, in spite of being constructed in complex ways, are not unchangeable. In reality
masculinity and femininity are not fixed categories acquired in childhood but are constantly being
tested, challenged and reworked. To this, one could add that most aspects related to gender
differences over time vary and have changed across cultures.
The pressure of gender conformity can be very strongly felt by both girls and boys. In the case of
girls, the pressures on some in relation to body image lead to anorexia and death. In addition, girls
are faced with a maze of decisions about whether to be like a girl in this situation, or like a boy in
that situation–and are often damned in either. In the case of boys, the key aspects of dominant
masculinity are clearly in evidence in any classroom in which there are boys. It is based on being
strong and rough, on learning to take it, on being first or the best, on disassociating from girls or
boys whose identity does not 'pass the test' of macho maleness, on not showing affection, and on
defying authority, especially female authority. All these things serve to prove acceptable masculinity.
Boys create and preserve this masculinity through fear of whatever might be constructed as female,
since whatever

Speech : Speech About Sex
Thank you so much for selecting me for this award. I couldn't be more grateful for my teacher,
Ms. Harris, who has definitely given me the courage to use my voice to speak on matters that
mean a lot to me. I also want to shoutout my fellow peers who have supported me the whole way
through, and have really inspired me to use my voice in a positive way. Now to my intriguing
topic. You guys are getting to that age where you are thinking about stuff that you may have not
about before... Okay skip the parent talk. Let's talk about sex. Yes it's an embarrassing topic but I
think we can agree that it's something that needs to be talked about. I was thirteen years old when I
had my first non–consensual "sexual"' encounter. And before you get your panties in a bunch. Stop
right there, I am still a virgin. But unfortunately, I have been in a very uncomfortable situation
that has changed my views on anything sexual, especially sex. So let us rewind. I'm with a few of
my friends hanging out in front of my house. We tell stories about our childhood but then it
started getting a little chilly out. Fernando gave me his sweater which didn't help. So Alex told
me to get into the back seat of their van to warm up. I get in and im almost instantly feeling better.
He gets in as well and begins calling me pretty. That threw me off. I knew he was a flirt but he'd
never been that way with me, especially because he was seventeen. I tell him to stop as he starts
moving closer to me. He try's

Gender and Sexuality Essay
Males and females are classed differently from the moment they are pronounced boy or girl. Gender
determines the differences in power and control in which men and women have over the
socioeconomic determinants of their health, lives and status in their community. Our society moulds
how men and women should and should not behave and can be observed in all parts of our society.
As a result of these Gender stereotypes men and women have issues which affect their health which
are unique to each gender. Males for example are perceived to be greater risk takers as a whole in
our society than that of females. We represent risk taking behavior with masculinity and violence,
high speed driving and contact sport with the male gender. (Doyle 2005)...show more content...
Women in the last thirty years or so have fought for equality among the sexes in all forms. The
Women?s movement have fought hard to change this socially constructed view of our society.
Due to this double burden placed on working mothers there is a far greater demand on their bodies
and an increasingly likelihood of illness in many forms as well as psychological trauma such as
depression and anxiety due to the constant workload. Females in the past were argued as having a
less likelihood of illness because they were not as abundant in the workforce thus giving them more
relaxation time.
When males retire around the age group of 55 to 65 many of them pass away early due to the
dramatic change in lifestyle. They go from five days a week working nine or ten hour days to
completely nothing and because they have become so adapted to the working week they change
their habits, their lifestyle differs and they develop sickness and health problems.
As health is seen as a holistic concept we also have to focus on the psychological side of health.
Mental illnesses affect around one in every three people and an individual?s gender is a critical
determinant of mental health and mental illness. Women are much more likely to develop mental
health problems then males do. The most predominant of these disorders are depression, anxiety and
somatic complaints.

Sex and Adolescence Essay
Adolescence is the longest period of development that is characterized by rapid physical growth,
reproductive maturity and psychosocial advancement (Fantasia, 2008). This developmental phase
brings sexual intercourse in to consideration for the adolescent. Adolescent sex is the popular
thing to do. In the 1980s and 1990s, adolescents were being taught that sex was a taboo and when
married. Since puberty is occurring at a younger age, marriage is delayed until later in life. A
growing number of sexually transmitted diseases occur more frequently in adolescents (Fantasia,
2008). In society today, sex among adolescents is on the rise due to lack of education, lack of
parental influence, and peer pressure. In the past, adolescents were...show more content...
Whereas other adolescents are embarrassed, worried about what their partners will think, and do
not want to discuss the topic of STD testing or using contraception (Cates, 2008). Even parenting
styles determine whether or not the adolescent will rebel and have sex (Carlson & Tanner, 2006).
Many parents vary in whether or not they will talk to their adolescents about sex and the
responsibilities that go along with it. Some parents may leave the decision up to the adolescent,
which may lead to an early pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Adolescents need to
develop socialization skills to learn about sex, talk to their parents about sex and have an
understanding of what happens when they start engaging in sexual activities. Parents play an
important role in their adolescent's decision to engage in sex. Peer pressure plays a part in
whether or not the adolescent will have sex. Because many of their peers are already having sex,
the adolescent will have sex to fit in with their peers (Cates, 2008). Some adolescents have the
desire for intimacy, so they may have sex so they can experience this desire (Fantasia, 2008).
Becoming in charge of oneself may increase peer influence thus causing early sexual relations
(Cates, 2008). Every year, 900,000 females between the ages of 15–19 become pregnant. Three
million adolescents (one in four sexually active teenagers) acquire a sexually

Essay about Human Sex Trafficking
Human Sex Trafficking Human sex trafficking is an illegal form of modern day slavery that has
turned into a lucrative business throughout our nation. Sex is very big business and there is a
tremendous amount of money that can be made. There are people that will use any means
necessary to be a part of this industry. Young women and children are used as a commodity,
offered a better life and then sold like property to increase the wallets of these criminals. I am
against this kind of inhumane treatment and know that as a nation we can do more to abolish this
so called business forever. I believe this possible with more laws, stronger penalties for breaking
those laws, and awareness that this is a very big and rapidly growing problem...show more content...
He took her to get something to eat and then to the guesthouse he was renting. He made her
shower, which was the first time she had ever showered in a bathroom and was very freaked out
by that. He then proceeded to have sex with her and drove her back to the brothel. When they got
back he gave her extra money for herself. She began to see him more and more and every time he
would give her extra money for her to do what she wanted with it. She would go shopping and buy
clothing that didn't say whore. They were just normal clothes, jeans and t–shirts. After a while she
stayed with him at night and went back to aunty nop during the day. That soon came to an end
and she was given a key to his place and she never went back to auntie's house. Then the day came
that Dietrich's contract was up, it was time for him to go back home to Switzerland. He offered to
take Somaly with him but she refused. Before he left he asked one of his friends Guillaume to
look after her. He let her stay with him in his villa. Guillaume knew a lot of people and had a lot
of parties. He also got her work cleaning houses for his friends. At one of the parties is where she
met Pierre. Pierre was a lab tech for a humanitarian agency from France, in Cambodia called
Medicins Sans Fronieres. Somaly and Pierre became very close and he gave her an opportunity to
volunteer at the clinic. She spoke the right language for the patients. She began working every

Essay on Sex Trafficking
Sex trafficking is essentially systemic rape for profit. Force, fraud and coercion are used to control
the victim's behavior which may secure the appearance of consent to please the buyer (or john).
Behind every transaction is violence or the threat of violence (Axtell par. 4). Just a decade ago, only
a third of the countries studied by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had legislation
against human trafficking. (Darker Side, par.1) Women, children, and even men are taken from their
homes, and off of the streets and are brought into a life that is almost impossible to get out of. This
life is not one of choice, it is in most times by force. UNODC estimates that the total international

The adult services ads on the internet offer an accessible means for the commercial sexual
exploitation of children, but the truth is that the demand for sex with underage girls precedes the
technology. Closing down such avenues may temporarily interfere with business, yet the industry of
selling children for sex continues as long as there are buyers. (Axtell, pg.2) According to the U.S.
Department of Justice, human trafficking is the second fastest growing criminal industry– just
behind drug trafficking. Approximately half of all victims are children. (Axtell, par.2) The buyers
have it made so easy when they can just go online and purchase their girl of choice. The internet
has black market pages for buying humans, but most are only open for a certain number of hours
then deleted completely. Websites such as Backpage and Craigslist are monitored but not all are
captured. Backpage accounts for about 70 percent of America's prostitution ads (many placed by
consenting adults who are not trafficked), according to the AIM Group, a trade organization.
Backpage cooperates with police to screen out ads for underage girls. (Times, par. 9) With all of
these portals being available it makes capturing some of the sick people out there buying their own
kind close to impossible. Craigslist used to have an erotic section but it was removed from the page
after the infamous "craigslist killer" case. However, there is a personal section

Essay about Sex, Lies, and Conversation
Tannen: "Sex, Lies, and Conversation" #2 The first thing that comes to my mind when reading an
article like this is, "Has this writer maybe encountered frustrating situations like this before?", or
"Is the writer possibly trying to express personal emotions in the topic discussed?" Whatever the
case may be, the point she is trying to make is clear to me. It is the events and relationships that
happen early on in life that may interfere and have effect on the intimate relationships that occur
later on in life. This holds some truth in my opinion, and must be examined carefully to make sure
and read between all the lines. Let us not neglect important detail and variables. The way she

Even myself, I feel the need sometimes to be more macho than I should just because I can't help it. I
believe that's why males choose to converse in the way they do. It's the DNA I tell you... In
understanding the way that conversation affects couples later in life, we must examine the past. In
the article Tannen explains that males seem to think that in conversation, thefemale is only trying to
interrupt and express her own points of view. While the male is seemingly not interested in what the
other has to say. I believe this all is a matter of perspective. Tannen also explains how females see
conversation as a means of emotional rapport, rather than just sorting through the events of the
week. In comparison to my personal experiences, this seems to be true in may aspects. I for one
have a hard time staring at a girls face when talking, especially if I don't even know the girl. This
must be true in some way during marriage, I know that I am paying attention but I just can't seem
to stay focused on the face. As a matter of fact, even when I'm conversing with my guy friends, I
still can't focus on the face. I don't know, I guess this is one of those default characteristics. This
doesn't mean I'm not paying full attention. I can see how this may cause conflict during the latter
years of marriage and so on. Just how Tannen described the college couple about the guy that
covered his face and seemed to fall asleep.

All About Sex Essay
Have you ever had sex? How old is acceptable to start having sex? How does your society accept or
resent sex? What is sex? What do you call sex? What is a man's perception on sex, compared to a
woman's? I think of sex way different than say my grandparents do. These are just some of the
questions that I think of when I think of the real meaning of sex. How did sex come about in history?
"Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply..." (The New King
James Version Bible, Genesis. 1:28). Sex is dated back before Christ in the Bible. Sex was used
simply to multiply creation and make more of man, not used as fun but still accepted. "The
aversion to sex by early Christian leaders extended to marriage being viewed as a...show more

There is sex with toys, where vibrators, dildos, beads, nipple stimulators, anal plugs, anal probes,
cock rings, chains, eggs, lubes, massagers, oils, creams, lotions, exc. are used. There is sense sex,
where nothing is actually entered into the body, instead your senses are turned on to their fullest.
I think sex can be any type of intimacy that gets two people aroused and can cause an orgasm. I
love the fact that sex has broadened so much, and so openly, over the years. I like it all. Why can't
people just say the word sex? The word sex sounds so dirty and unacceptable to most people, that
they would rather call sex by these other crazy words! It doesn't make any since to me. I have
heard it described in many different ways. Many ways I found in another dictionary such as
"banging, boinking, boning, bumbing, bump nasties, bump uglies, shag, fuck, hump, screw, boot
knockin', do, get it on, get laid, get some booty, hit it, lay pipe, make babies, make woopie, make
love, poke, poon, put out, tapping ass, the old in–out, twerk something," (Words, 1–2). and more. I
just like to keep it simple, sex, unless I'm in the mood and then I want to "rape" my lover, in a good
and sexy way of course. When do people first have sex now–a–days? I was 14 years old. I do
strongly wish that I had waited longer and had sex with someone different , but I find it very
"normal" for our area these days. I went to school with girls that

Essay about The Adult Sex Industry
When discussing the adult sex industry one must understand the differences between human
trafficking, sex slavery, and prostitution. An individual also has to taken into consideration why
another individual would choose prostitution as means of income verses any other job that doesn't
include the buying and selling of sex. One must be able to empathize with the individuals who choose
prostitution and be able to take into consideration some factors that may lead an individual to
prostitution as a means of economic trade. Such factors might include; the country these individuals
live in, their living conditions, education, social and economic status and various other reasons.
When understanding the topic of prostitution an individual must...show more content...
I feel Kate is confusing her opinion with actual fact and not so much diving into the root of the
problem; the government[s] involved in the human sex trafficking industry. If we are provided with
an estimated annual amount of money generated from human–trafficking how are those involved in
collecting such data not able to trace where the money is being generated from and stop the issue.
Instead the people often targeted, blamed, and penalized are those individuals who choose
prostitution as a profession.
Unfortunately in this article Kate does not define the differences between sex slavery and
prostitution, causing confusion for any reader who knows little about the two. Prostitution can
be defined as any sexual act performed by two or more consenting adults in exchange for a trade,
most often currency. Prostitution has been one of the oldest forms of trade however because we
live in a society where religion and monogamy are the ruling forces of humanity the sexual act for
trade is looked upon as socially unacceptable. People fail to comprehend that in many
monogamous relationships there still comes a form of sexual trade. Many people who have this
perspective may not able to see that anytime there is sex involved between two people there is an
exchange. People who are in monogamous relationships often exchange the idea of love for sex
and sex for love. In some relationships there is a trade for financial security or whatever else the
individuals need

Research Paper On Human Sex Trafficking
Human Sex Trafficking
Human Trafficking is a crime not involving just hundreds or thousands of victims but millions and
"Human Sex Trafficking" has been termed the most common form of "modern–day slavery" (Leary).
It is an industry that is "woven into the fabric of everyday life". (Leary) The reasons for human
trafficking range from forced prostitution, pornography, forced labor, organ harvesting and drug
smuggling. In 2000, the U.S. Congress passed the "Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA)"
(Gouty) and as defined in this act of legislation, human trafficking does not require transportation of
victims from one location to another and it does not require the crossing of an international border
(Gouty). President Obama signed the latest...show more content...
