Week 7

This week we discussed the importance of intimacy in relationships. We talked a little bit about the logistics of coitus and the stages. There is excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. I found it particularly interesting during the discussions because I feel like I am the type of person that it takes a lot to make me uncomfortable. Talking about sex in my family has never been something done in hushed tones. If we had questions we asked and we would get answers with proper terms. I'm going to veer off topic for a moment and express how I feel like a lot of the people that come to BYU-Idaho have this weird aversion to talking about sex. It makes people uncomfortable. A lot of things shouldn't be discussed, I'm not saying everyone should be telling me about their sexual lives, but I have met way too many young adults here who don't know anything about sex or they act like they are eight years old and they think talking about sex is going to get them soap in there mouths. I appreciated that in the class we talked about it. Sex is something that is extremely important in a marriage. It is vital to happiness and the proper communication that is necessary. It's a way that each person can not only show there love for one another but to show there desire to make the other spouse happy. I think it's ridiculous that some people have the mindset that sex is something to do for the man and that if the women can find pleasure great but don't be surprised if you can't. There are so many different options for women today to have just as great as an experience as men. It helps the man become more selfless and it helps the relationships communication. Verbalizing your needs and desires in and of itself is very intimate then taking the necessary steps to execute the desires and needs will help build the relationship greatly.
