Understanding the Self Assignment #5: Metacognitive Reading Report

1. List down three things that you significantly learned from the readings.
-First, I’m referring to the book edited by Alan Soble. I’ve learned in every
topic is that it involves the so called “Sexual Morality.” In philosophical speaking, Is
Consent enough? In that kind of perception, for me is that we as an adult has its own
capability of deciding on our own. But, still there should be limitations especially at
some point things that might lead us to having regrets. Second is that in my own
understanding, being sexual is normal as long as it is already acceptable. To
understand it further, for example here in our country Philippines. We are a country
that is not liberated, which sometimes kissing, hugging in public might find some
Filipinos uncomfortable for them to do it nor show in public. I’ve said that one as a
learning because sometimes kissing and hugging isn’t bad after all. It doesn’t mean a
male and female kissed for a minute nor hugged for an hour, they could be judged
by… they are already having sex in public. We may wonder sometimes, that there is a
lot of possible reasons why sometimes those things we can see sometimes shocks us.
A possible reason is that maybe that person is sad, needs comfort, showing his/her
affection, proving that he/she really loves that person. The bottomline of that is we
shouldn’t judge people kissing and hugging can already be called Sex. Lastly, I knew
a lot of new information (generally speaking) about Sex. It involves science in it, how
the circulation of Sexual Act of a person reacts or possible behavior once he/she
might be curious that word Sex.

2. List down three things that are still unclear to you.

-It is unclear to me like whenever I want to differentiate some parts of each
readings. Most especially the point of view of a certain topic. However, I’
am confused about a article from this book: "People aren't mind readers": A
study of sexual self concept, partner communication, and sexual
satisfaction. Like, Sexual satisfaction. It may be trying to tell to us or me
neither that satisfaction should require someone or a person to be called
 sexually satisfied. I find it confusing because I cannot focus my mind like
should I agree on this one? Or should I disagree on this one?

3. List down three questions that you want to ask about the readings.
-A question that might not be related to this readings is, does science abide
sex in terms of religiosity? Another is, what would be like in our life if
there is no sex at all?. Does curiosity has always to be about sex? Because
some says, when the word curiosity is already being talked about. Others
think of it that it might be about having sexual intercourse to a person.
