Prostitution, Premature Ejaculation, and Abortion: Sexuality in America

Introduction
The reason I am writing this paper is to share the information I attained about human sexuality by learning about sexuality in a college setting and by exploring my sexuality through personal experiences. I do not consider myself to have experienced much exposure to sexual behavior but I do have a cultural bias to what I consider a heavy amount of exposure because the North American culture is considered more promiscuous and sexually active than other cultures.

And as a result, my beliefs toward many sexuality subjects morphed. Negative, as well as ignorant opinions that I’ve previously held towards certain sexuality issues such as homosexuality or prostitution became more positive due to the intelligence the course provided me with. Also, by gaining further knowledge on personal experiences of sexuality, such as masturbation or premature ejaculation, I was able to find relief through identifying my experiences, beliefs, and attitudes with my peers.
