Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

[Remember that there are still five or six vacancies in this class -- go here to sign up.]

We need a topic for next week. As you know, the structure established for the class means that you write a hundred-word essay on the week's topic, being sure to submit it by Saturday evening ... and then we come together as a group on Monday to discuss our findings.

I try to chose topics which, once mastered, will help the students to cope better with their lifestyle. I try to choose topics which will promote careful research and lively debate. Most of all, I try to choose topics which will be of interest to the students who are signed up.

This week's topic is sex. I'm a little baffled by the interest that this topic engenders, but it does seem to be curiously popular and lots of sentient beings claim it plays a central role in any measure of how well their lifestyle is going. For these reasons it's sensible to make it a part of this course.

So one hundred words on this week's topic, please, in a comment below. Please try to explain just how issues surrounding this topic affect your lifestyle -- both positively and negatively.

A brief description of the position regarding ages of consent in your usual home may be helpful, but it won't be included in the word count.

Sex is very important in society. It can be used to show you are loyal. It can be used as a weapon. Sex is something everybody wants. It means something different for every person. For some it’s one of the most intimate, personal things you can do. For others, it’s just as necessary as breathing. I have had sex myself but it’s never meant that much to me. Just something you do to have fun. It can be the most simple and most complex thing out there.

People in my world usually start having sex around 15 years old.
