J.M Coetzee's "The Harms Of Pornography"
.... women
are actively contributing to the business of pornography maybe they should be
criticized at least equally if not more so than the men who watch it. According
to author J.M. Coetzee and his article "The Harms of Pornography", the real
questions here are, "what is the difference between obscenity and pornography",
and even more importantly, "where do we draw the line between the two"? Coetzee
brings up a good point here. A point on which the entire debate over pornography
hinges. What is the defen .....

Gays: A Struggle For Acceptance
.... be able to take
these rights away from anyone. Also, in the 1950s, the civil rights movement
became active and words like desegregation and equal rights for all became
synonymous with the American way of life. Stand up and fight against those who
have done you wrong! This is what gave homosexuals such a conviction to start
fighting for their own cause. This paper will follow the progress of gay and
lesbians in the twentieth century before, during and after World War II. What
was their position in the arme .....

What Is Love? Why Are You Asking Me?
.... perfect union. Peck's views on love in this
respect differ from what my thoughts have conjured up as such. And I can only
infer that the words of a reputable author and doctor are more legitimate than
mine. It is here that I must stop to apologize to you, Louis, for making this
part of the paper far too personal than necessary.
"Falling in Love" is a common myth in this society. The actual act of
falling in love, according to Peck, is a misconception. There is a
differentiation to be made between w .....

"I Do" Or "Please Don't": Hawaii's Same Sex Marriages

his wife." Legally, however, marriage is more than just a statement of love.
Marriage comes with economic and legal benefits that one cannot receive alone.
For example, joint parental custody, insurance and health benefits, the ability
to file joint tax returns, alimony and child support, and inheritance of
property and visitation of a partner or a child in the hospital. In fact, the
Hawaii Commission on Sexual Orientation itself concluded that denial of marriage
licenses to same- .....

Sex And Agression: Whip Me, Beat Me, Make Me Feel Like An IDIOT!
.... he had not had this mental and sexual
release he could very well have committed some sort of heinous crime against
humanity. So I may not agree with these people or even see the soothing
capabilities of this “therapy” but that does not mean it does not hold its own
social value and merit.
In closing I would like to say that I feel enlightened to have this
information, which may help me in the future to sympathize with someone who may
have that "urge", and I feel that armed with this knowledge I may be .....

A Review Of "The Outsiders Club" Screened On BBC 2 In October 96
.... to disabled people
(which is not surprising since disabled people are often absent from mainstream
groups). Indeed, it is only in the last few years that disabled people
themselves have been in the forefront of this debate, and the leading
protagonist have usually been activists within the wider disability movement,
who are well aware of other social and sexual issues such as gender, sexism,
homophobia, and so on. The Outsiders was set up (and is still fronted by) an
able bodied woman who for many years .....

Both must acquire food. It is noteworthy that men generally eat more than women.
United States law mandates that both complete a certain amount of schooling.
Both must toil through the identity crisis of adolescence, followed by the mid-
life crisis of aging, and lastly, the mortality crisis in their elder years.
There is a great possibility that both must appropriate wealth, provided they

BDSM

Neithger of these are usually true. The need is for control or to be controlled
and that is what is found in BDSM. Although the horror stories are the ones
which are often shown in the news, in fact the successes in BDSM are far greater.
In short BDSM is normal, and is worthwhile as well. Try it you might like it.

simply type: sex. This will pull up a host of different sites where one can
easily click on any of them and view pornography. What many groups are trying to

Child Abuse: An Exposition
.... to you. His hand slithers it way onto your knee and you
cringe in revulsion. “Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you,” he chides. Your mind
feels panicky as you feel his touch in more intimate places and you scream
involuntarily. His grip tightens as he places his hand over your mouth. “We'll
have to do this the hard way!” comes his intense whisper. You flail your arms
at him, but it doesn't help. His writhing massive body is on top of yours, and
you feel so powerless. Eventually, you sink into a so .....

Consent And Its Place In SM Sex

wriggles of your partner desperately trying to escape your teasing might tighten
a rope of poor quality and/or singularly tied around a wrist, creating major
veins to stop circulating . The danger might not even seem obvious until it is
too late. It is possible though highly unlikely that one could lose the usage of
one's hands. Often in SM sex, extremely intimate information is given to your
partner, for example a fantasy. If the fantasy involves play that mainstream
American society might not fi .....

Male/Female Differences In Perceptions Of Sexual Harassment
.... joking, touching, and patting may be considered unwelcome sexual
attention to some, but not others" (Gutek, Morasch, and Cohen, 1983). Women
more often than men conclude that these forms of sexual harassment are serious
and offending.
Is there a difference between what men perceive as sexual harassment and
what women consider sexual harassment? The purpose of this study is to
determine if in fact there is a difference. According to earlier research, men
and women would perceive and define sexual harass .....

"Does The Military Continue To Have Sexual Harassment And Discrimination Against Women In The 90's?"
.... in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in
a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we
are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted
because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor,
infantry, and special forces--branches from which much of the senior leadership
is drawn. “In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questions on
women's role for the first time. Some 65 per .....

Sexual Addiction

than their public lives. Denial leads the list of ways addicts distort reality.
They deny to themselves and others that they have a problem. Arguments, excuses,
justifications, and circular reasoning abound in the addict's warped mental
processes. Some of the excuses are: "What she doesn't know won't hurt her,"
"It's my way of relaxing," If my wife would be more responsive,” and “If I don't
get it every few days, the pressure builds up.” Whatever the rationalization .....

Coersion/Rape
.... have sex. This to me, seems absurd. In the most basic terms, and with the
simplest definitions, no means no, and okay, yeah, yes and please, all mean yes.
The term "NO" is not very complicated, and is probably the word that was
repeated to us the most as children, so we should all get that one right. But
still, how can yes mean no? Apparently through a term known as "verbal
coersion," which allows a large grey area to form between these simple answers
to sometimes complicated questions.
