PERSONAL SEXUAL IDEOLOGY

Personal Sexual Ideology

1.) What ways do you think that your sexuality impacts your view of yourself? (This might impact how you feel about yourself psychologically, emotionally, physically, etc.)

Sexuality plays a vital role in a person's life when it comes to their identity and sense of self. Sexuality is mostly confused with sexual self-esteem, which influences our sexual decisions. Sexuality is about a person's sexual orientation or sexual preference and how they self-identify based on their sexuality (Fennell & Grant, 2019). Sexual orientation refers to who a person is emotionally, physically, and mentally attracted to. My sexuality impacts my view of myself in that based on my sexuality, I can tell what is good for me and what is not right. Being a straight or heterosexual human means, I am attracted to the opposite gender. I feel more connected sexually when interacting with people of the opposite gender and when I spend too much time with people of the same gender, I feel a disconnect.

I find myself gravitating towards the opposite gender instead of my gender, and I have better conversations and discussions with people of the opposite gender. When presenting something in a room with mixed genders, I tend to focus more on people of the opposite gender since they give me the confidence to continue presenting. Sadly, I get disgusted when a person of my gender attempts to make a pass at me or flirts with me. The lack of sexual attraction to my gender puts me off, and I prefer a platonic relationship rather than an emotional one. To attract the attention of the opposite gender, one has to look good, making me pay close attention to my attires, body, and looks. I have found myself watching what I eat because I do not want to gain too much weight. While this might seem nice, it could be damaging, especially when the person you want to recognize fails, which can create negative emotions.

2.) What role does sex and sexuality play in your relationships with other people, especially romantic or sexual partners?

Sexuality plays a significant role in my relationships with other people....

Being a heterosexual being, I prefer having romantic and sexual partners of the opposite sex. I do not have any romantic attraction towards people of my gender, and I mostly consider them friends. I have not had any sexual relations with a person of a similar gender because there is no attraction. I limit situations where there might be a loss of control when it comes to dealing or spending time with people or person of a similar gender. Being self-aware of my situations ensures that I do not find myself in awkward situations that lead to unfavorable interactions. Therefore, I only express and show interest to people who identify as heterosexual and of the opposite gender. I have...…woman have to come together to create a home and start a family. How do same-sex couples come together and start a family without the assistance of an outside party? Gay or lesbian couples cannot start a family without a donor. Therefore, they will be siring a child who will have the genes of one of them and the donor. The biological parents of the child will not be the two couples. Instead, it will be one of the couples and an external party.

My parents have instilled in me the importance of family, and in our family, we are heterosexual. I have never had differing viewpoints, and I was raised to desire people of the opposite gender for sexual or romantic relations. Having been raised in a religious family, I understood that sexual relations take place between man and woman. There was never anything about having relations between man and man or woman and woman. The biological lesson taught by my parents always demonstrated that our sexual reproductive organs have to come together to satisfy each other. Women need penetrations to achieve orgasm, and even in lesbian relationships, the couples will use objects that mimic a penis. Gay relationships opt to penetrate the anus. The long-term effects of anus penetration are only known to those who participate in such activities. There are reports that most of them will struggle to hold their poop since their muscles have been ruined…
