Disclaimer!! This blog post talks about Sexual Intimacy!

Sorry there are not pictures in this post, I don't think that there are many pictures appropriate to include on this topic!

This week we talked about sexual intimacy in my Family Relations class. I was interested to see where the conversation would go, because it’s a pretty private topic in a relationship. However, I feel that we were able to have a good discussion about this week in my class. We talked about some differences between men and women. We touched on the biology of it. We also talked about our views on sexual intimacy and marriage.

There are differences when it comes to the topic of sexual intimacy when comparing a man and a woman. Men tend to have sex when they want to feel safe and secure with a person, however, women are the opposite, they tend to have sex when they already feel safe and secure with a person. For men it is an external thing, and for women it is an internal thing. These are just some simple differences. I think that not only does the mentality between men and women differ on this subject, but I also think that the mentality of ever individual differs. I believe there are many things that contribute to a person’s mentality on this subject.

I will mention that I am an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and my views on this subject do line up with those of the Church. I believe that sexual intimacy should be between a man and a woman, after marriage. I know that this is not a very popular view within society, however, I believe that this is the way God intended it to be. In my class we also talked about how sexual relations help someone feel closer to their partner, and I believe that it’s best to feel closest with a spouse.

I believe that it is important to have boundaries, before and after marriage. I believe that setting boundaries before marriage, will help you stay where you should be before marriage, and not get you into uncomfortable situations. I also believe that there should be boundaries after marriage, some people aren’t comfortable doing certain things, and I believe that they should not be forced into doing anything they are uncomfortable with. This is why I think it’s important to have conversations with your significant other about what you are and are not comfortable doing.

Sexual intimacy is something that I believe is sacred, and that shouldn’t be something that people just go into or make fun of. I think that it should be a topic that is treated with respect. I think that one thing that has become a threat to this topic, is pornography. This is something that is getting harder to avoid, which I think is unfortunate. This is something that is disrespecting the sacredness of sexual intimacy. This should be something that is private, and that isn’t shared with the world. I think it is sad that in society pornography is something that is becoming more acceptable. It becomes an addiction and can actually ruin relationships. I think that being weary of certain movies, or websites is an important thing to do.

I know that this isn’t a topic normally discussed, and there are definitely some aspects of the topic that shouldn’t be discussed, except for with a significant other. However, I think that there are certain things about this topic that everyone should be aware of, and that people should be educated, to a certain extent, on this topic. Ultimately, I believe this to be a sacred thing, that shouldn’t be disregarded, or taken lightly.
