A lot of us still find it awkward discussing sex with friends. We are also uncomfortable and ashamed to discuss our sexual problems and other concerns about our sexuality. This comes as a pleasant surprise to most of us as we expect that we have already reached a level of maturity where we can now engage in sex talk as if we are just sharing our food recipes to our friends. We will enroll in a cooking class to hone our culinary skills; we take dancing lessons to become the star in the dance floor and other types of lesson so that we become better persons.
However, when it comes to our sexual behavior and sexuality, it seems that we are not ready to come out in the open and seek some guidance and enlightenment. When we look at sex and our sexuality, we tend to assume that we can find ways to function and perform at optimal level without any help.
There are no fast rules when it comes to our sexual response. We can be able to respond to the opposite sex or to the same sex. We can also have sexual response even if we are alone or with a partner. We can also respond to a warm body or to an inanimate object. Our human sexuality will always involve all our senses and will also include imagery, fantasy and our imagination.
Boys get their initial encounter with sex and explore their sexuality through talks inside the locker rooms, through erotic reading materials and videos and by group or peer escapades. Girls on the other hand have their share of sexual awakening through innocuous girl talks, love stories and movies with such themes and actual experiences with their boyfriends.
For men, the sexual act is considered as a source of pleasure, power and sexual release. On the other hand, women equate their sexuality to their need for affection, pleasure and intimacy. These are reasons why sometimes we see men and women as being poles apart when it comes to their motivations for engaging in sex. Men tend to be aggressive and hostile towards their partners while women are generally loving, spiritual and gentle. Women seek love in sex while men just want to get laid.
These varying values and attitudes of men and women deal a significant impact in the way genders consider and treat their sexuality and to a certain extent, affects how they appreciate the sex act that they engage in with their partners. In general, men work to establish their identity and reinforce an image while engaging in the sexual act while women seek affirmation from the sexual act of how attractive they appear to their partners.
