Sexual Ideologies Between Genders
Sexual Ideologies Between College Students of Both Genders
California Baptist University

Abstract Sex has lost most of its emotional connection and has become a recreational activity in the last several decades among college students. Research studies show that female college students tend to have the most emotional connection with sex compared to male college students. Due to the social and biological aspects of sex and the differences between both genders, males view sex more as a recreational activity than an emotional bond. The difference between genders creates an unbalance and disconnection on sex. Unless, social influences divert the liberal direction of sex into the emotional realm, the unbalance and disconnection among male and female college students will continue to rise.

    A Double Standard For Hook Up By Risman

    In “A double standard for “Hooking Up”: How far have we come towards gender equality?” Rachel Allison and Barbara Risman offer a current study with students from 22 colleges, and universities in the United States. Focusing on, if the students approve of casual sex, and are men and women viewed differently. Allison and Risman are determining if inequality occurs, and if there’s still a stigma with both sexes with casual sexual encounters. “Our results confirm previous research findings that frequent casual sex is still stigmatized among many college students despite the cultural perception of “hooking up” as normative.” (Allison, Risman P, 1202) Kathleen Bogle states in her article “Heterosexual college students no longer…

    Sexual Essentialism Are Social Constructs

    The movie reinforces that sexual essentialism are social constructs, therefore, following the logic tat it then can be deconstructed. The multiple gay characters and the varied personalities that they bring from the flamboyant Jonatha, to alpha-male like character of Mark, to the supposedly transformation of Stephanie into a more demure accommodative lesbian-lady acknowledges the inherent ambiguity of all identity formation, presenting a sexual paradigm that allows for an expansive and undefined range of identities.…

    Sexuality in Social Norms

    The novel The Wars by Timothy Findley whom is a well recognized Canadian author demonstrates the convention of sexuality when Robert Ross, a Canadian solider questions his sexuality. During the 1900s people fell into gender roles and social norms. Homosexuality throughout the 1900s was a very controversial topic. Robert Ross came from an exceptionally religious Christian family. Christian’s do not believe in homosexuality but see it as horrendous: “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” The Wars by Timothy Findley analyzed through the lens of existentialism of queer theory, limits and fixes identities through the categorizations of gender, sexuality, and heteronormativity. Robert Ross is shown disobeying social norms numerous times: having feelings for a fellow soldier, seeing two soldiers having sexual intercourse, and experiencing sexual intercourse with Barbara d’Orsey.…

    The Five Sexes, Revisited

    The reading The Five Sexes, Revisited was about the misrepresentation of today’s two-sex system in society. The central issue Anne Fausto-Sterling addresses is that there are people born outside of dimorphism and most people do not understand this (pg. 122). The most important point or central argument is that the two-sexes, male and female should no longer be accepted. Instead, five-sexes should be accepted: male, female, “herms”, “merms”, and ferms” (pg. 121). An important fact the author makes is, “…we calculated that for every 1,000 children born, seventeen are intersexual in some form” (pg. 122). This bit of information proves that there are infants born between the sexes male and female. It is important for people to realize that mixed babies are in existence. Anne Fausto-Sterling also shares a story of a born intersexual. “Consider for instance, the life of Max Beck: Born intersexual, Max was surgically assigned as a female and consistently raised as such. Had her medical team followed her into her early twenties, they would have deemed her assignment a success because she was married to a man. Within a few years, however, Beck had come out as a butch lesbian” (pg. 124). It all comes down to society and this story proves it. If the world were more open to these sex issues, then we would not have these issues in the first place. In Max’s case, being born intersexual would not have been an issue in Max’s life. Instead, the doctors chose Max’s sexuality without any consent from Max. Another interesting fact that Anne Fausto-Sterling uses to back up her argument is “The logical structure of the commonly used terms “true hermaphrodite,” “male pseudohermaphrodite” and “female pseudohermaphrodite” indicates that only the so-called true hermaphrodite is a genuine mix of male and female…Because true hermaphrodites are rare – possibly only one in 100,000 – such…

    Teresita went to a fraternity party because she'd heard that this fraternity "really knew how to have fun" and she really needed fun after a disastrous academic week. She knew that some women had been taken advantage of at previous parties, but she put that out of her mind, as she downed one drink after another. Just when things were getting dull, the coolest guy on campus took her by the hand, led her upstairs and talked her into having sex. The next day, Teresita noticed that her vagina was bruised and bleeding. She barely recalled having sex, but knew who was responsible for her condition, and filed rape charges against him with the campus administrator.…

    Sex and College Students

    The purpose of this paper is to identify the circumstances associated with casual sex encounters. I found that casual sex is

 a common occurrence related to early sexual transition, engaging in first sex with a casual sex partner, drug use, and alcohol consumption. Casual sex occurred more often between "friends" than with strangers. 

 The transition to adulthood is a time of exploration and experimentation, and behavior patterns that will impact their emotional functioning and health as adults. The journey to adulthood often includes experimentation with sexual behaviors: the majority of adolescents first engage in intercourse before they graduate high school. I found that first intercourse experiences occurred in a romance for the majority of young people. Those who begin having intercourse at younger ages are more likely to engage in sexual intercourse with casual partners. 70% of college students report having engaged in intercourse with people they did not find romantic.

 Casual sexual relationships or encounters are referred to by a variety of names in research literature. In research these relations have been referred to as "chance encounters", "one-night stands" and "casual sex." Casual sexual relationships can be sexual interludes with strangers or they can be sex with a friend. They can be brief or long in duration. 

Regardless of terminology, all are describing sexual relationships in which the partners do not define the relationship as romantic or their partner as a boyfriend or girlfriend. These meetings are often superficial, based on sexual desire or physical

 attraction, spontaneous, and often impulsive, and they frequently involve drugs or alcohol. Broadening research to examine the

 context and full spectrum of sex behaviors of adolescents is important to the development of effective education programs and clinical interventions,
