Love and sexuality;: A Christian approach

Product Information

The gift of human sexuality is precious with its powers of life and love, and it calls for an authentic and healthy integration in the person. This is the virtue of chastity. Chastity ensures "the successful integration of sexuality within the person" (CCC, 2337). It protects the inner unity (body, mind, and soul) of the person. It enables men and women to defend "love from the perils of selfishness and aggressiveness" ( Familiaris Consortio, 33). McLelland, Mark.

Limiting current perspectives to the physical or biological dimensions of sexuality may further obscure fitting solutions. If intervention programs and future research are to be responsive to the needs of teens, what they feel and say should have weight in ongoing discussions.

Finally, the existing literature shows several dangers in the generalization of sexism. The American Psychological Association points out several problems associated to the sexualization of girls [ 80]. These include cognitive difficulties, mental health problems and risk behaviors. On the other hand, boys' exposure to pornography increases the risk of aggressiveness, rape myths and gender stereotypes, all of which may be indirectly harmful for women and equality between males and females [ 81– 83]. In our sample, we observe that while sexism is rejected by a majority of girls, it is accepted by most boys. Most males do not seem to find anything wrong with the misuse of men or women as sexual objects, or associating masculinity or femininity to having more sexual relationships. Having these aforementioned opinions and perceptions was likewise associated with a higher incidence of sexual experience in our study. The questionnaire was implemented between July and September 2007 in twenty-eight schools from seven regions using standardized data-collection protocols. Prior to administering the survey to students, consent was obtained through the schools. Schools were invited to voluntarily participate in the research project, which was described to the schools as an effort to collect nationwide baseline data to guide future education interventions. The instrument consisted mainly of close-ended questions. A five-point Likert scale was used for attitudinal responses. The questionnaire was drafted in colloquial English and pre-tested in the field to 180 students. Questions were tested to ensure clarity, comprehension and suitability to local conditions. Content and length of the instrument was modified to last about 45 minutes.Talmadge, Eric. Getting Wet: Adventures in the Japanese Bath. Tokyo: Kodansha International, 2006, p. 187, 190–191.
