For those who go around having sex all the time, this is a fantastic idea. What could be the big deal anyways? It is just sex. Well then, by all means, please legalize prostitution. Who cares? I dare you to click on that last link.
By all means, put condoms in the hallways, put condoms in the classrooms, and put condoms in the bathrooms. Who cares if teenagers have sex with whoever, whenever? Yes, it is a beautiful thing and yes, it is necessary to reproduce. But our culture today perverts sex into something that is necessary to fit into society. In every magazine, in every TV show, in every movie, in every ad, even in our books , Americans display not only a tolerance of sex as a casual deed, not only acceptance as proven by our ever increasing sex influenced lifestyles, but a continual, unquenchable thirst for more and more sex-related material to satisfy our natural, yet apparently crooked urges.
We let it dominate us. We contaminate sex with lustful thoughts and crooked hearts more and more, and then we let it contaminate us. This word article is just the beginning. We all are. It is our nature and we are letting it pervert us. Sex in America is perverted.
Truly it is. For a country with Puritan roots and morals, I shudder to think at how the rest of the world views sex. Obviously, the Puritans were too strict when it came to dealing with those who violated their ancient laws regarding sex. There will always be those who degrade sex, who use it casually, whenever they want. Those scumbags will always be there. But at least the Puritans saw sex as a beautiful, intimate, private display of love between two people.
As an American society, we need to turn sex back into an aspect of our lives that is dignified, honoring, and respectful. Foothillians, as high schoolers we need to show the maturity to be able to rise above what society tells us we absolutely need to be happy. Yes, sex is a gift and needs to be taken advantage of, but in the correct way, and in an honorable manner. Opinion: Edgenuity is not an adequate platform for online learning.

One concept developed by Freud which has become something of a dinosaur is his use of the word perversion. In the early days of psychoanalysis, a perversion was any deviation from the "normal" sexual act, with "normal" being defined as genital intercourse with someone of the opposite sex. So homosexuality was tarred with the same brush as paedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, fetishism, transvestism, voyeurism, exhibitionism and sadomasochism. Thankfully, few theorists are still tethered to Freud's male homophobic interpretation.
And yet therapeutic use of the term "perversion" to describe everyday clinical issues is far from extinct. Glancing through recent publications, it looks as if it is, in fact, enjoying something of a comeback. So what acts are nowadays being defined as perverse? And by whom? Read any newspaper and it is tragically clear that paedophilia, sexually motivated murder, rape and bestiality are still with us. But for most therapists, these are rarely confessed to. More likely to be heard about in the minute hour are voyeurism, exhibitionism, pornography, sadomasochism, prostitution or fetishism.
Surprisingly 26 per cent of those questioned said they had an interest in or had taken part in frotteurism — where sexual pleasure is derived from rubbing the groin against another person without permission.

It's her second structural situation: she was previously involved with the Golden Gate Bridge.
