Since the dawn of man, sex has played a crucial role in society. Before they learned to read or write, humans practiced sex, and without it none of us would be here. In today's society, sex has become much more complicated. If you were to ask a group of people on the street what they believe sex is? I bet they would have a hard time answering. The question that baffles society today is: how do we define sex? Can we define sex? These are the questions raised in Tracy Steele's article “Doing it: The Social Construction of SEX.” This article is about the current questions and issues that have been raised regarding sex in today's society. In this article I will summarize the key points of the article, sharing my thoughts and opinions on Steele's findings. One of the key questions raised in the article is where our sexual urges come from, have they always been there deep inside our bodies? minds, or we learned them gradually. Steele states that his belief is that sex is something that is learned over time from our environment and society (Steele 13), but he also states that there are many theorists who believe that sex is instinctive and that we have always known how behave It. After considering both sides of the issue, I have to agree with Steele's belief that sex is learned. I believe this because I find it difficult to believe that human beings are born with the knowledge of sexual intercourse. This is because I can guarantee you that most children barely have any idea what sex is, let alone how to have it, it's only when their parents or teachers explain to them what sex is, that I can really understand it. and engage in it. The only argument that can be raised against this idea is that there are m... half the paper... that define sex; they can't even agree on the origin of our sexual desires. In conclusion, what I learned from this article is that sex is much more complicated than I might have believed. This article made me aware of many conflicts, issues and disagreements that go hand in hand with what is or isn't sex, and how there is no clear way to tell, it's just a matter of opinion. For lesbians, the simple use of a finger is sufficient, for gay men, anal sex is sufficient. For some, sex is innate and instinctive, while others believe it is learned. For some it is based on love and pleasure, while for others it is about domination. I highly doubt that there is anyone in this world who can find a universal meaning of sex that can please all parties. My conclusion is that there is no right or wrong definition of sex; it's whatever you want it to be.
