Human Beings…

Human Sexuality, what is it exactly? Do we really need to understand and go into its details? Yes. The youth now-a-days will perceive Human Sexuality as the manner in which 2 opposite sexes have sex. It is not always the case. To start with, we teenagers don’t really understand Human Sexuality in its real form. Generally, Human Sexuality is the way in which we express ourselves as Sexual beings. We are all formed or developed by several factors as sexual beings, one of which is our own gender, it is the manner in which males act as males and females act like females. We differ so much not only in the physical aspects but, socially, mentally and emotionally. There was actually a seminar workshop conducted in our school, SLU-LHS, to teach us students about Human Sexuality. Basing it from what I have understood, we all need to study Human Sexuality with several reasons but I would only give my opinions and details about one, the modern world. The modern world is not actually what we want it to be basing it with the ideas of Human Sexuality. We are Christians, well most are here in the Philippines, that’s a fact. We Christians have created a simple idea of what sex really is, what its causes are and why it is done. Why do we actually have sex? Is it not for the main purpose of having a child? If that’s the case, why is it that we have multiple kinds of contraceptives that are being allowed by the government? We are contradicting to what we all believe in, we want to have sex but we don’t want to have a child, does anyone see something erroneous with what I have just stated? I did, I believe that the Catholic Church would too. The problem with our view as a modern world is that we don’t really keep in mind that sex is sacred, actually it’s not anymore for most people, it is perceived as a time for pleasure, and it is a recreational time for the people. We see advertisements of condoms and other kinds of contraceptives, it’s like it’s a good thing! One of which is the advertisement by Robin Padilla, in his advertisement, he tells us that we should prevent unwanted pregnancies by using contraceptives. There was an organization created, Trust. This organization recognizes the effects of sex in every aspect that it would need it to be. Why was this created? Wouldn’t it be better if it wasn’t created if there would be simply no reason for it to be? That is the problem; it needs to be done because the people now cannot stop the urge to have sex. The problem here is that we know for a fact that sex is done because it is a way to express our love for the other sex, but we should also take into consideration that this holy act is done by people who are of proper age. Pre-marital sex is one problem that is growing in our country, no, the world. This is one major reason why the country is trying to find ways to promulgate the effects and consequences of what these minors will get if they would have sex in these times. We see music videos which depict sex as again, a time to have fun. We should try to all change this very wrong perspective of Human Sexuality for the cause of the greater good. If we don’t, I’m sure that this world that we call it would not be the world that we would call it in the future…
