Sex
Should sex be practiced freely between anybody you choose without sharing any feelings or emotion, or should it be a sacred tradition between a man and his wife? For example, in Brave New World all of the people living in the State had sexual relations with many different partners, solely for the pleasure. Nobody in this community had any spiritual connections with one another, they moved from one person to the next eliminating the chance to experience heartbreak or commitment. On page 43, Lenina says, "Everyone belongs to everyone else" and with that it proves that nobody from their society has the opportunity to share love with a partner of their choice. I believe that the lust for sexual pleasure with someone other than your spouse is morally incorrect. I think the lack of a religion containing morals is a reason why they engaged in meaningless, emotionless sexual intercourse. Before taking such a big step in life, there should be a marriage with a lifelong commitment of love, respect, and belongingness. How do you feel about premarital sex? Should sex be practiced for pleasure, or for love?

I disagree with Ricky saying that it is morally incorrect to engage in sexual pleasure before marriage, only because some people in our society, for example lesbian and gays, are not allowed to be married legally. It is not fair to say that one should wait until marriage when they do not know how many days, months, or years it will be for that to legally happen. However, in my personal situation, I would especially agree with Ricky in the opinion in waiting until marriage.
ReplyDeleteI believe with Ricky, that sex should be based on a faithful commitment of marriage. The institution of marriage is a important bond that our society has sadly degraded. Sex should be an act of faith to join with spouse because sex should not be taken lightly. Premarital sex usually though not always leads to sex with more than one person. However, sex bound by marriage usually is monogamous. This is how sex should be used, not for physical pleasure sex should be symbol of faith and love between a man and his spouse or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteIn today's society, the general public no longer considers sex as a sacred act of commitment or marriage. Whether we like it or not, there's going to be people who just do it for the sake of doing it. I don't think it should be taken lightly and should be saved until you personally believe that the time is right.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ricky in saying that sex is a monogamous act, and should only be done between two committed partners. However, I find that whole "no sex before marriage" conundrum to be a little extreme. Like Alexa said, there are still certain groups of individuals that cannot legally wed. Should that keep them from sharing pleasure with one another? I don't think it's right. Waiting until marriage is definitely the ideal choice, but love has the ultimate jurisdiction.
I agree with Ligaya in the fact that sex should wait until you feel the time is right and that is no longer a sacred act of marriage. Even marriage itslef is taken more lightly today. In the U.S. there is a forty percent divorce rate despite couples' oaths to stay with each other until death.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that sex should wait until marriage and should only be done between two committed partners but in reality no one truly knows who their soul mate will be. For instance, when couples get married they believe they will be together forever, but end up having a divorce a couple years later. So overall, nonreligiously speaking, were humans really made to commit to one person or was that a manmade concept?
I agree with Ricky, sex should be between two people who truly love each other and there should be an emotional connection behind it. With no emotions involved to me it just seems pointless and meaningless. Like Joe said I also agree that sex should be symbol of faith and love between a man and his spouse, because there is a connection behind it and it should be special and shared with the person you truly love and care for.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ricky and his idea of waiting until marriage to have sex. I believe sex should be saved for you sacred significant other that you know you will spend the rest of your life with. Another reason why it should be saved for marriage is because there are many things that can happen during sex and if you are then these things can easily be kept under control.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Alexa when she says it is not fair for gays or lesbians who cannot legally be wed which counts them out of having sex. I feel that if gays or lesbians are truly COMMITED too their significant other then it should be fair for them to have sex just like any other sexuality.
Giving your body to someone you love after you have been married, is definitely sacred and I agree with that. Waiting for the one you know you will spend the rest of your life with, God-willing, is definitely a life-long commitment of love and respect. However, is it really our place to tell someone what to do with their body, to judge them on how they live their lives? Why must people get involved with things they cannot control, if those people are fine living that way, then why does everyone feel the need to change it? This is one of the many reasons there are so many conflicts in the world. Many people try to control what cannot be controlled.
