Human Sexuality

Introduction

The aim of this assignment is to discuss the personal comprehensive sexual philosophy. The main source of this assignment is the book on “Human Sexuality”, written by Roger R. Hock. In this book Hock took an interpersonal approach to human sexuality. The book helps its readers to develop and identify their own sexual philosophy. Similarly, Hock takes a psychological approach towards the human sexuality and its impact. The book is divided into fifteen chapters.

It is very important to understand that there is a huge difference between the social and cultural views of what and how people think about men and women in the course of human sexuality. The most important aspect to be discussed is the difference between healthy and unhealthy sexuality. Although, the basic activities included in human sexuality are same but there are some boundaries and cultural and social views that makes human sexuality healthy or unhealthy (Malone, 2007).

In this connection, many cultures place a religious or spiritual intercourse and see this as a method to improve (or lose) health. The cultural attitudes towards male and female sexuality influence the sexual desires of both male and female genders. A human being throughout the different stages of life is curious about sex regardless of gender. It is very important to understand the boundaries of healthy and unhealthy human sexuality. Unhealthy sex could cause an individual serious damage and could also cause death of an individual. The culture in different regions of the world influences the people residing in that region to a great ...
