I know of two people that are middle aged and widowed. One a male friend of ours and the other my aunt. After 5 years of being a single adult they both continue to maintain their sexual integrity. Some might think it easier to do this than compared to a younger adult who has never been married. In the video Single Sexuality by Dr. Sharon Hart Morris (2016), it is pointed out by Jennifer Cisney (2016) that no matter what age a person is, they are still a sexual being so this indicates that even though they are older and probably wiser, they still struggle with the same sexual frustrations as a younger, unmarried person. I know both of these individuals quite well so I feel confident in knowing how they keep this integrity. In the video by

    Sex/Gender Binary Analysis

    The notion of a sex/gender binary has not been historically around for a relatively long time. In fact, the belief that only males and females should exist in society was not a relevant topic until the late eighteenth century. The Age of Enlightenment paved way for sex dichotomy and was succinctly explained by Harold Garfinkel’s Studies in Ethnomethodology written in 1967. In this seminal text, he creates a summary of the laws of gender that the sex/gender binary heavily relies upon. These laws are; “(1) There are two genders, and everyone is has one; (2) Gender is lifelong, invariant, and unchangeable; (3) Exceptions to genders are jokes or abnormalities; (4) Genitals (penis, vagina) are the essential sign of gender and (5)…

    Female Sexuality And Objective Lens

    Elisabeth Lloyd’s analysis on the prior research done about female sexuality explored the flaw of those research. As these studies were mostly done by male scientists, many explanations of female sexuality were in relation to their biological role of reproducers. This social bias then affect the design and execution of the study, leading to misinterpret data and ignoring evidence that would have counter those stigmas. As such it is difficult to say that we can view science through an objective lens. Should we avoid any science that could be influenced by social norms?…

    Human Sexuality Reflection Assignment

    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.…

    Same Sex Video Analysis

    (1) The major complaints men have, regarding their wives, according to the video, are that their wives do not participate in sexual activity enough. The men claim their significant others are not necessarily maintaining their sexual needs. Multiple men discuss that their wives do not give them enough relaxation/freedom/personal time/space or just simply more breaks to themselves. After a long day at work the men want to just be able to kick off their shoes, watch sports and be lethargic, instead of feeling attacked or, as mentioned by few of the men in the video, "nagged."
