***media reflection due oct 3: magazine/newspaper article about, sex, sexuality, or sexual health. Way we view sexual health is not static. Yin = men, yang = women: maintaining balance, masturbating and homosexual sex was frowned upon due to having imbalance from yang, its okay as long as you don"t ejaculate . With christianity, sex became less about pleasure/emotion and more about procreation and duty. Sexology: scientific study of human sexuality: refer to what it includes on slides. ***social constructionism: we construct meaning to various aspects in our lives: meaning is shaped by culture & surroundings, socially determined. Sexual scripts i. e. guy from tinder messages you to come over = booty call: does not include safety; condoms, sti"s, dominant sexual scripts do not take into consideration minorities (lgbtq), cultural diversity. Ted video talking about sexual activity = baseball: can"t result in safety , better model when looking at sexual education: pizza pros cons pizza.
