V – Essay. (20 points)

Describe your Sexual Self. What are your beliefs in

engaging in sexual intimacy? What can you say about your
sexuality, attraction, beliefs and sexual responses? Write
down your thoughts and feelings in no less than 300
words.

I am heterosexual, attracted to girls only, as I believe that

it would be healthy to engage in sexual intimacy although
we should be weary to bear the responsibility of possibly
having a child. Like with a lot a of stuff, if you play with fire
you are bound to be burnt sooner or later. However I think
it is healthy to relieve tension built up in the body from
sexual tension and that it should be properly taken care of,
one way or the other. Also always safety first. If you’re not
confident in your partner always bring protection to protect
yourself from possible STDs, and choose a partner wisely,
do not put your “d” in crazy. Well anything is safe as long
as you’re careful enough. Keep in mind that moderation is
everything and that it should never cloud your judgement
in any important decisions.
