Florida Southwestern State College Human Sexuality Sexual Philosophy Discussion
Overview & Guidelines
Remember, when writing your sexual philosophy step into the mindset of a philosopher, and engage in the pursuit of wisdom, search for an understanding of your values, and analyze your beliefs, reasoning, and attitudes. The goal of establishing your sexual philosophy is to be inquisitive and explore how your thoughts and behaviors influence the quality of your personal life, relationships, society and the world at large.
Part 1:
At the very end of the chapter (past the Summary section) locate the section titled: Questions for Discussion. Select and respond to ONE of the Questions for Discussion (Note: If you would prefer to write your sexual philosophy on something else discussed in the chapter instead of one of the Questions for Discussion, feel free to do so). Your response should be a minimum of 100 words, and your word count should be indicated at the end of your statement.
“Questions for Discussion
-The text describes some of the challenges faced by people who choose to live together without marrying. Should society support cohabitation regardless of sexual orientation by providing tax benefits or acknowledging domestic partnerships? If so, how? If not, why not?
-Given the three models of sexual orientation (see Figure 2), which model do you think is most accurate? Can you find a place for yourself within each model?
-Many changes have taken place in marriage policies, and there has been liberalization of divorce laws. Has it become too easy to get divorced? What factors do you feel contribute to long-term partnerships?”
Part 2:
At the very end of the chapter (past the Questions for Discussion section) locate the section /box titled: Sex and the Internet. Follow the instructions in this box making sure to clearly respond to all of the prompts.

In each one of these, investigate several categories related to sexuality and prepare a summary of what you have learned. Would you recommend this site to others? Why or why not? Would you feel comfortable entering your own response? What position did you take on the issue that you investigated?”
