The Importance Of Oral Sex

Decent Essays
There are many sexual activities that are common in the sexual repertoire of emerging adults. One of the main activities is oral sex. “The majority of young adults who’ve ever experienced oral sex have already done so by the age of 18” (Regnerus 33). More specifically, between 70 to 85 percent has done so. Cunnilingus is oral sex on a woman and fellatio is oral sex on a male. Teens see oral as replacement to coitus.

    The social view on adolescent sexuality varies across cultures, societies, communities, and families. It is a controversial topic because some individuals perceive sexuality as an important development of a teenager’s gender and identity, while others are opposed to the sexual interaction of adolescence. In the book Not Under My Roof, Amy Schalet demonstrates that in the Netherlands, society provides information and support about sexuality to teenagers. The normalization of sexual behavior in the Netherlands has allowed teenagers to develop a greater control over their sexual desires. In contrast, America’s perspective of adolescent sexuality makes the experience unenjoyable to young adults.…

    In this section, a review of literature highlights the emerging adult’s attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions about sex and sexuality. Rather than oversimplifying a diverse generation cohort into a homogeneous group, the aim here is to give a deeper understanding of how the emerging young adults (Millennials) ages 18-29 years are shaping the culture with new sexual scripts. Let me begin first by explaining “sexual script”. The term “sexual scripts”, was introduced in the 1970s by John Gagnon and William Simon in their book Sexual Conduct.

    A norm is an expectation regarding behavior. Any violation of that norm creates actions that are deviant, which then can cause the label deviant to be applied to those who have violated the norm. Throughout history these norms, and thus deviant behaviors, have been adjusted to fit with the always modernizing society. What once was considered a deviant behavior, such as being a bachelorette until 30, is now considered a norm; and what once was a norm, such as being married at 14, is now considered deviant. All types of deviance are subject to this shift, most notably sexual deviance in the recent years.…

    1.) I believe that Steinem‘s main message in her article If Men Could Menstruate is to show us that how we understand what is normal and acceptable about our bodies is very much culturally dictated. Steinem proposes that “the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless”(pg.209).

    Our society’s perception of sex and sexuality is influenced by various factors, such as the media, culture, and religion. The media influences our perception of sex by oversexualizing women and over masculinizing men in advertisements, music videos, television, and film. Female models and actresses may dress or act in a provocative manner to gain attention by the media and particularly from men. Women may be influenced to imitate these behaviors, or even exaggerate their sexuality, to appear desirable to men. Women may also feel unconfident when comparing their bodies to those seen in the media, creating an unhealthy perception of their sexuality.…

    Unlike the effects of abstinence only sexual education, comprehensive has more of a positive effect on a teenager’s sexual outcome. Comprehensive sexual education has been proven by multiple studies to be the most “effective” form of sexual education.

In some states, comprehensive sexual education teaches about the use of condoms and contraception to lower the chance of getting pregnant and of receiving an infection with STDs, or HIV. Many of the courses help teens develop interpersonal and communication skills and help them “explore their own values, goals, and options.”…
