SEXUAL BEHAVIORS AND ORIENTATION
Q.1
The first sexual behavior depends on multiple factors. The first kiss is one of the outstanding factors that determine the sexual behavior of an individual. The first kiss creates a lasting remembrance of each partner, and it initiates a person to establishing the first expression of sexuality and affection. The other factor is the first sexual intercourse. The first sexual intercourse commemorates a practice beyond the sex itself. It makes a person think beyond the sexual intercourse itself, and it creates a romantic milestone. If a person experiences mutual sexual intercourse, it becomes easy for that person to develop a longing desire for more sexual endeavors.
Q.2
Norms about premarital sex, sexual consent age, standards about homosexuality, perception of masturbation, education system, family, media, peers, and religion are some of the critical factors with a significant impact on sexual activity and sexual quality. Different groups of people have different perceptions of these factors, which in turn affect their perception of sexual intercourse.
Q.3
Public opinion played a vital role in shaping my attitudes and views on sexual orientation. After interacting with people of diverse sexual orientations, I have learned to appreciate their decisions. Secondly, gender identity has been instrumental in accepting those of different sexual orientations to mine. Some of these people do not understand their gender and, therefore, are comfortable with the other gender.
Q.4
The handling of myths and stereotypes, first, requires acceptance of the decision to be different. In this perspective, other people accept my uniqueness. Often, I stand out and make others know about my sexual orientation without fear. The ability to speak about my sexual orientation and view it, as usual, has helped shadow myths and stereotypes.
Q.5
Over time, I have understood that being different does not dehumanize a person. I would offer moral support to any of my friends whose sexual orientation is GLBQ. I know that regardless of the sexual orientation, other shared beliefs define friendship. Even though I will not join the friend in practice, I will remain steadfast in offering the necessary moral support to make him or her feel part of society.
Q.6
In developing a sex health STI campaign, I would rely on the Talk Test Treat framework that allows various groups to speak about their health conditions. As much as the target would be the popular culture, it would enable the minority group to also share about their health issues. The framework provides an all-inclusive platform.
Q.7
The need for adolescents is to explore various sexual activities. I would organize training sessions of different sexual perspectives. The training enables them to expand their reasoning on diverse sexual perspectives and help them in informed decision-making.
