This course was awesome! I really enjoyed learning the any perspectives to Human Sexuality.
This course looks at the material in all 3 of Habermas' Paradigms:
1)Empirical-Analytic
-->Statistics, Research about contraception, dysfuctions, cycles, STI's, etc.
2) Critical Theoretic
--> Feminism, Sexy Inc, Prostitution, etc.
3) Situational Interpretive
-->Private Dicks, Models of love, Sexual Orientation, etc
There was much more to this course then sex, I learned many things I was unaware of.
Course Overview:
*What is your most significant take away learning from our class?
--> There are 3 things I found to be the most significant;
First, Habermas' Paradigms, I liked being able to incorporate these 3 paradigms into everything we learned.
Second, I liked the many different models we learned about (Sternberg, Kinsey, Storm, Masters and Johnson) how each model was different but each one seemed accurate.
The third thing I found to be signifcant, was the discussion about Sexual Education and how we could use this knowledge to teach it ourselves and make it more beneficial for the students.
I enjoyed this class so much it is hard to think of individual things that were significant, when everything seemed to benefit my knowledge and will help me become a better teacher.
Thank you Robert Nellis!!

Prostitution
Prostitution is the sale of sexual activity for money or goods of value such as drugs."A progression to the word prostitution is referring this occupation to "sex work" and the people working this job are referred to as "sex trade workers" This is a change to give the women, men and children some dignity.
It is known that the exchange of money for sex if legal, however everything else associated to this trade is illegal. Things such as;
1)Transporting, Directing or Offering someone to a common body house
2)Keeping, Being in or providing a common body house
3)Procurring or Obtaining and living from the profits of prostitution
Are illegal.
These are some of the issues identified in the following videa about Victor Malarek. Victor Malarek wrote a book, "The Johns", about these same issues.
This video discusse the idea of Women Trafficing, that most prostitutes are drugged and forced to perform sexually for money. "96% of these women said they want out if they could."
What is a problem with prostitution being legalized??
*If prostitution becomes legal it will open the trade up to more people. Women who didn't think about "sex work" as an occupation might reconsider once it is legal. More men might become more likely to go and "rent" sex from a prostitute once it is legal.
In my opinion prostitution and all the aspects should remain illegal. More men should be aware of these ongoing issues and discontinue these bad habits, which would lead to a decrease in women working in this trade.
