Some of the topics covered on this module focus on acts that are related with sex - prostitution, masturbation, pornography - so is it possible to say that sex is the problem? Is sex bad?
Personally, I think sex itself is perfectly natural, as is masturbation. As for prostitution and pornography, there are certainly negative aspects, but these are things that people choose to do with sex. It is the fact that people are selling sex that is the problem for most people, not the act of sex itself.
However, many religious groups have strong views about why and when sex should take place. For example, Catholics and other religious groups believe that sex before marriage is a sin. However, sex within marriage is encouraged as is presents the possibility of creating a new life. Since sex is seen as mainly for procreation purposes, contraception is not allowed.
Sex is a large part of most societies. Even those who choose to abstain are making a statement about their sex lives. People are labeled in terms of their sexuality - heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual. Sex is a part of most peoples lives. It is a pleasurable experiences between two consenting adults.
Having said that, sex can also be the cause of many problems. People can worry about having sex too little, having sex too often, infidelity or sexual addiction.
Sex is a wonderful thing, but if we make it into something that is too important, it can also tear lives apart.
