    For centuries homosexuality was viewed as taboo but in actuality it has been present since the days of Alexander the Great. As of late people’s attitudes towards homosexuality have shifted in connotation. In the 1980’s, due to the HIV and AIDS epidemic gay men were looked down upon and isolated because people did not understand that the disease was sexually transmitted and could be given by direct contact. They just knew gay people were associated with the disease. These views contrast with new public attitudes towards homosexuality in 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled same sex marriage as legal in all states of the United States.…

    Sexuality is more than just sexual activity. It is a part of what makes us human and it is anything that constructs sexual feelings. Unfortunately, individuals are restrained from expressing and embracing such art. Certainly, there are expectations imposed on society as individuals are caged up trying to live up to such conservative expectations and traditions of purity and heterogeneity (Kilgore and Ranu 359). Therefore, sexuality is influenced by various aspects in our life from past to present events that have shaped our identity.…

This is especially true in 15th century Europe, but still remains true today. During the late 1400’s sodomy was a crime that could be committed by men and women, although the term was not used when in reference to women. Sodomy was somewhat of a new trend being recognized in women, but rising in popularity.…

    For my human sexuality class, I was to conduct a sexual interview with an individual focusing on sexuality. We were to ask questions focusing on the individual’s attitudes and feelings towards sexuality and any misconceptions they may have held about sexuality. This activity also allowed the interviewer to become aware of their own feelings and attitudes about sexuality during the interview. I intentionally wanted to conduct this interview with a male, because asking questions around sexuality with males is an issue I am still learning to become comfortable with. Working as a family based therapist I have to ask questions surrounded around sexual activity, sexual trauma, and being to provide parents and adolescent with resources about sexual education.…

    Being a part of a Human Sexuality course has definitely opened my eyes to many different topics and issues that are occurring around the world. I believe I have lived a very sheltered life after learning about some of these topics, because I hadn’t even heard of most of them. I liked to think I knew all there was to know about human sexuality simply because I understood sexual intercourse, STI`s, and using protection. But human sexuality involves much more than those three things. Three of the major topics that have made me really think about how uneducated I was in regards to human sexuality were sexual birth defects, gender identity and gender roles, and sexual assault.…
