Reading Maltz Hierarchy website and also the text material I realized I have had level 1-impersonal interaction, level +2 making love and level +3 authentic sexual intimacies. I experienced level 1 when I was younger and had no responsibilities. My mindset was childish, but thankfully nothing bad ever happened to me. I did things I am not proud of such as having unprotected sex, and sex under the influence. Now as I am older I think back and realize all the different times I put myself in situations where there were drive by shootings and environments where cops were constantly looking for drugs and alcohol. To my advantage I have always had an angel by my side and I’ve been very lucky. I experienced level +2 making love when I met my significant

I don’t believe that abstinence education works. Young adults will do what they want no matter how hard we try to teach them otherwise. I’ve always believed people learned by experiencing situations themselves. Nobody learns by listening to someone else. Parents need to focus on having a good communication with their children and building a bond of trust. Parents shouldn’t be afraid to talk about sensitive topics such as sex, drugs and alcohol, instead educating your children can prevent pregnancies and STD’s. Having good communication with your children in my opinion is the best thing we can do at this point because kids are developing and learning faster each day. When we talk about religious beliefs this is a very delicate subject because some people might be offended by another person’s view. I don’t believe people with religious duties should not have sex or wait till marriage. You can love God but wouldn’t he want you to be happy? I have always found this topic very contradicting and sensitive because young adults are having sex earlier and earlier from what I have seen. The reality is that we can’t stop it we just need to have better communication with our children. “One average, individuals have sex 103 times per year” (Crooks & Baur, 2016, p.249). I have learned over the years that when parents say no to their children the worse it is because they will do …show more content…
Let’s face it not all parents like to touch this subject with their children so how do they expect children to learn and do it in a safe way? Masturbation leads to sex in most cases and then girls come home pregnant and parents get mad but then again they never bother to touch the subject? The ugly truth that no parent wants to admit is that this is going to happen regardless so it’s better to educate your child before it happens. Masturbation could sound disturbing to some people but it’s actually healthy and it most definitely helps a relationship long term. Masturbation also helps with anxiety and it helps you sleep better at night time because your body is relaxed. “Indeed, people can learn a great deal about their sexual responses from masturbation. Self-stimulation is often helpful for women learning more about their arousal or to experience orgasms and for men experimenting with their response patterns to delay ejaculation. Finally, some people find that masturbation helps them to get to sleep at night, because the same generalized feelings of relaxation that often follow a sexual encounter can also accompany self-pleasuring” (Crooks & Baur, 2016, p.244). Learning about your body helps you have better intimacy with your partner. Teaching children about safe sex and masturbation can help them in the future when they find a long term relationship. Most
