PERSONAL SEXUAL ASSESSMENT

The little-known information has heavily dependent on self-assessment. Personal sexual assessment largely ignores the cultural and societal impacts on an individual. The common approach that has been taken to evaluate sexual assessment is the experiential therapy. This theory tries to study the impact our environment, culture and daily interactions affect our human sexuality. It argues that sexuality of the members of the society is regulated by, culture and norms of the society. Growing up in Israel and having to socialize with friends in school, I had a faint picture of the different body parts of boys and girls. Growing up in a cosmopolitan region of Israel, different languages have their own way of referring to the different body parts. English speaking people like myself assigned to the male genital part as penis and the female genitalia was commonly called vagina and the breasts boobs.

Some of the hard questions that the society sometimes seemed shy off from sharing with the younger populace were answered in school (Xu & Tracey, 2016). Studying health science in school helped in extensive understanding and also give the pictorial representation of the body parts. The rabbinical teachings which includes more than six hundred commandments, procreation is among the first commandments (Herrmann et al. Religion affected my view on sexuality as I understood the interconnection of the human trinity; body, spirit, and mind. Judaism also holds that sexuality is very important in the society despite it being an alley that can lead to sin. My Orthodox faith almost always equated sexuality to sex. In most cases, associated sexuality to sexual acts. My favorite reference was ‘Basic Instinct' which remarkably opened my sexual fantasies and provoked the imaginations I had.

My fantasies led to me developing an attraction towards boys. I got my first boyfriend at the age of eighteen years after I had gone through my high school which was a girl school. He was the best footballer in our neighborhood. Despite having a boyfriend, I never had sex with him. My fifteen-year marriage has highly shaped my adult sexual life. Intimacy in marriage is one of the important ingredients to a successful happy life. Having sex talk is very important too. Sex talk should not only be done in the bedroom but should be carried in a more neutral place away from the presence of the children. Couples should be truthful and open to their partners at all times.
