Recommended: Personal narrative about friends

When considering my options for this event, I knew I had to choose something that involved me personally. While any topics in the sexual realm are newer to me, it is easier for me to separate myself from those experiences and focus on the individual discussing it over discussing it myself. When peers have conversations regarding sex, I am able to listen and even interact. However, if the conversation ever seems to turns towards me, I try to escape in order to avoid participating. My discomfort is the strongest when I think about myself or have to share about myself with others. Previous to this event, I have always considered doing this type of shoot. I never felt comfortable enough, and chose this opportunity almost as an excuse, or permission

  • Analysis Of The American Hookup Culture

    793 Words  | 2 Pages

    As stated in the book, “college students have much to teach about sex” (8). That is because the values, ideologies, and worldviews of the students are representative of greater American culture. Although flawed, hookup culture on American campuses hold the possibility of accepting a culture of inclusivity, care, pleasure, and freedom while also rejecting predatory behavior, racism, classism, and abuse. Dismissing hookup culture all together is blind to the reality that young adults are going to have sex, and since sex is non-negotiable, one’s aim should be to foster open dialogue and critical thought onto a future where everyone enjoys the ability to freely explore sexuality, sex, and gender on their own

  • What It Means To Be Gendered Me Analysis

    I was always wondering why only men have more freedom of expressing (publicly) their passion towards watching the XXX movies, opening rough discussions about the same ones (I would do this to her, I would do that to her/She would remember me etc.), and bragging about their sexual life in general without feeling ashamed since most of those bragging were directly humiliating the opposite gender. In order to finally understand the pleasure of bragging about sexual experiences, sexual fantasies, and other similar actions, I decided to give a visit to the closest video-store in Fulton and rent numerous XXX movies (I am referring to different kind of sex videos) at public video-store F...

  • Writing a Personal Narrative

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."
