Understanding the Self: Lesson 6 Enabling Activity

INSTRUCTION:

Read and analyze the given situation and answer the question below.

Miyo a call center agent for 8 years has been active in expressing himself sexually, his
engagement in sexual activities is a way for him to get rid of his feeling of boredom with
his work. The monotony he experiences in his job made him suffer from burn out as well
as loss of motivation. His appearance also shows and reflects his feelings about his job
and his life. He is haggard, pale and shabby. This prompted Miyo to engage in
promiscuity to get hold of his life and add zest to his everyday routine.

Points to ponder:

How does sexuality impact one’s image and self-esteem? Explain the same in the case
of Miyo.

When I talk about sexual self-esteem, I'm referring to the feelings you have about your body,
and your confidence level in how you relate intimately to someone else. It's what you bring of
yourself, both emotionally and physically, to sex and relationships, what you do with that and
how you share that with someone else. In the case of Miyo, his way of being to be happy in life
is something different and strange by engaging himself to sexual activities to maintain his zest,
for me which is not the right way. But every one of us have different way of living. We know
boys are have their own style to show their masculinity by doing that kind of things and they
feel that they can really say that they are unique and through that kind of habitual activities of
being promiscuity they felt their confidents are boosted. But I don’t say that all men are like
Miyo.
