Blog 6? Sexual Morality

     Let's all face it! We all want "to get it on" regardless of our orientation. Sexuality is a staple of our modern global society, even the hiearchy of Maslow indicates that sexuality is a natural essential for humans and animals in order to survive. Nowadays liberals and the conservatives in a nonpolitical and even political spectrum battle on the terms of sexual morality.

     Good old media and other lefties tell us all that sex is ok and you don't need to marry and as long as you use protection and such. The other chicken little known as the conservatives and religious authorities tell us that sex is great only when you get married and that sex should only be used for the purpose of procreation and so on...

     The two readings "Sexual Morality"(Scruton) and "Plain Sex"(Goldman) discuss the views on sexual morality. Scruton favors sexual morality and gives us the Nichomacheanic viewpoint of sexual morailty. Scruton argues that morailty is something to be taught to as a child and such teachings can prevent people form engaging in sexually immoral acts. Another concept Scruton gives us that education is key to virtues.

     Scruton argues that traditional sex education(known to all of you as Sex-Ed) has pursued sexual virtue. This shows that this piece of educatinon teaches a person to regard their bodies as an important treasure and such things arise from the fears of the obscene and so forth.

     I will really not go into both lectures because the topic of sexual morality is not something for me to taking a position. Truly the issue did not create any impact on my beliefs and principles, my pendulum does not swing either sides because sexuality is a natural thing.

     We are all born with a sexual desire, as in the desire to "get it on" or to do something sexual, academia is a great example, most likely in those dorms students are watching online porn or hooking up. But we do need some sexual morals to make sure society doesn't go out of control, like it is gross for man and animal making love, but overall when it comes to sexual morals we can't force these things entirely. Let them be!!
