PHL243H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Digitality, Bisexuality, Agathon
Document Summary
Emotions are the source of your moral convictions and values. The ironic thing is that the beliefs people hold most near and dear are the beliefs they generally think are universal and have nothing to do with their cultural backgrounds. Our ideas of what is sexual are constantly subject to change depending on our own personal experiences and the context of the situation. The vocabulary of sex is generally made up of euphemisms and curse words. Intercourse generally refers to pivmo, so this isn"t an adequate characterization of all types of sex. Religious words are also used as curse words in some cultures. Sexual words as curse words today are no longer nearly as taboo as they were even ten years ago. Intercourse is a word that has lost its original meaning ex. Social intercourse, economic intercourse, but now it refers to pivmo. Active verbs are usually attached to the man and passive verbs are usually attached to the woman.
