BPK 140 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Endometrium, Hormonal Iuds, Fertility Awareness
Document Summary
It is difficult to express your intentions and determine your partner"s when the hormones are flowing. To practice responsible sexual behaviour, it is necessary to understand why the sexual activity is occurring. Sex can be to express love, make babies, or attain physical gratification. Most high school-aged males that engage in sexual activity have a higher than normal self- esteem. For similar aged females, they have a lower than average self-esteem and lower than average mental health. One might recognize incompatibility here: agreed-on sexual activities. Each sexual partner must engage in each sexual act willingly. Coercion is a very bad sexual act; whether it is done by drugs or physical dominance, coercion is unacceptable: sexual privacy. Not only do you respect the person during the act, you respect them afterwards and do not discuss you or your partner"s sexual activities with others. If you do not want a pregnancy then use contraception.
