Well my buddy asked me to help him do a college paper. I think he failed that subject. Anyway here it is:
Topic: Sex and family, with the values of egoism and utilitarianism applied
Dirty. That is the first thing we think when sex is mentioned. We do not even stop to think for a moment that the word sex could have other meanings other than intercourse. According to www.dictionary.com the word sex
“applies to the property or quality by which organisms are classified as female or male on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions”.
My personal opinion on sexual intercourse is the closest feeling of being in heaven while it lasts. That also nicely describes the meaning of utilitarianism or as elaborated by Jeremy Bentham and James Mill;
“the aim was said to be the greatest happiness for the greatest number”.
In this topic of discussion we assume the word sex means sexual intercourse. Naturally organisms have sex to reproduce; this is assuming they have sexual intercourse with the same sex and species the way that it was meant to be. As the years go by there has been a growing trend of pre-marital sex that leads to unwanted pregnancies and other problems. One of the main concerns among teenagers is abortion. In my opinion abortion is wrong in many ways. Another word best describing abortion would be murder. Before anybody decides to have sex, he or she must be well educated on sex and the risks involved. This is where the family plays a role.
Naturally we adopt the religion that our parents believe in. I do not think there are any religions in this world that condones pre marital sex, but of course I could be wrong. When a person has not had sexual intercourse before, that person is considered a virgin. But virginity is a very abstract word. So what is virginity? What does it really mean? Is virginity really important? Speaking from the point of view as a male, losing your virginity means you have something extra to chat about with your friends that is considered “cool”.
Every person is born to this world with some sense of egoism. But how does egoism come into a topic of sex? I think I can safely say that largest ego in this topic of discussion would belong to the male species. To most guys losing their virginity the earliest would mean a conquest won. It is also because of egoism that make males think they have to sleep with a lot of girls. Of course females are not entirely innocent. There are also females that are into casual sex because of their ego, I just have not found one yet.
Sex should be consensual or else it would be considered rape. During consensual sex the objective is to achieve greatest happiness for the couple. However from the elaboration of Jeremy Bentham and James Mill the topic of discussion might be about orgies. An orgy is a sexual activity performed in a group. I have never personally been in an orgy, but I would love to one day.
To conclude this paper, I have decided that sex is not wrong. Sex is fun. Sex is a work of art. It takes two or more people to actively participate in. A good piece of advice would be to get a few condoms ready. If possible watch some pornographic movies before trying to have sex. Sex is an adventure with many different ways of approach. However always be safe and be ready to get a surprise in 9 months.
