Are We Having Sex Now
Greta Christina initially starts her essay by chronicling each individual and their name. Soon she realized that if she wanted to count how many men/women she had been with she first had to classify what sex was, in her eyes. Greta attempts to find the answer to this question by calling on specific reference points in her past. She uses examples from her life to come to a conclusion on this topic of much dispute.
We live in a society filled with so many different demographics such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. With all of these different demographics we cannot give a clear definition for what is and is not sex for people. For example, when looking at oral sex, lesbians classify it as sex, compared to some heterosexual who don’t define it as being sex at all and just call it “sexual arousal” or “foreplay”.
In her essay, Greta explains an encounter she had with a man while having a boyfriend. She admits to fooling around and groping each other. After that she then claims that “He never actually got it in.” There’s many reasons why this should be classified as cheating. First, once you agree to be in a relationship with someone, you are letting them have a part of you that others don’t get to have. From then, once you have sex with this person you’re taking your relationship to the next level. Once that’s done I believe that you have a whole new trust with this person. When you have a significant other you get to do things that others don’t.
Being faithful means no touching or even thinking about another person sexually because your partner’s feelings need to be considered in this situation. To know that you are thinking sexual about someone who is not him/her, that person will get hurt. Also while reading her essay, Greta asked if there’s no consent, is it still sex? I believe that if there is penetration, it is sex. Even if one isn’t feeling sexual or if one is even rapped as Greta had mentioned, it’s considered sex. They may not be making love
