Sexual Behaviour
I just read a fascinating article on human sexual behaviour. It suggested asking yourself the following questions to give yourself a greater understanding of your own sexual behaviour.
- What does sex mean to you? Is it just recreational, or does it have an emotional connection?
- How has your background influenced your attitudes about sex?
- Do you carry any biases about sex that cause you to sabotage your sexual fulfillment?
- How does it feel to think of the other person being sexual with other people?
- How do you feel about monogamy?
- How do you want to feel after sex? Is it enough to feel "that was fun", or do you want it to signify "something special is happening with this person"?
- Does sex make you feel closer to the other person or more distant?
- Does it cloud your judgment about whether he or she is a good fit with what you want in a partner?
- Do you view sex as a "bridge" to a deeper commitment?
- Do you automatically assume that a date is going to turn into sex?
- Do you just go along with what the other person wants, or do you see your own choice in the matter?
- Do you know how to decline an invitation to sex if it doesn’t feel right?
- Is it important to you to discuss safe sex with partners before engaging in sexual activity?
- What role do drugs or alcohol play in your sexual decision-making?
- Do you disrupt day-to-day activities for sex or plan them around sex?
- Do you lie about, keep secret or gloss over the number of or nature of your sexual encounters?
- Does thinking about or planning sex occupy a large portion of your time?
- Do you sometimes make irrational or impulsive decisions about sex?
- Do you respect sex partners, or do you see them mostly as sexual objects?
- Have you become numb or abusive to sexual partners?
Food for thought eh?
