Courtship, Sex, and Love

Reflection Paper
Courtship, sex and love are complex and interconnected aspects of human relationships. They play significant
roles in shaping our personal lives and society as a whole. On the webinar I understand and learn more about
courtship love and sex. Based on the webinar courtship is to persuade someone to develop a romantic
relationship with one. Sex is often a taboo subject, surrounded by silence and denial. Lastly love is the way in
which two or more people or things are connected.

Courtship
Courtship refers to the process of seeking and attracting a potential romantic partner. It involves various
rituals, behaviors, and communication strategies aimed at establishing a connection and determining
compatibility. Courtship practices vary across cultures and time periods, reflecting societal norms and values.
Based on Sir, Michael Jade Wania courtship is to get to know each other through virtual dating, love letter
and others. I remember when I was in high school, in my school, some guys were courting me by giving me
chocolates, fake flowers, and love letters. But since the pandemic, virtual or online dating has been a trend.
Since pandemic courting through chats is the alternative to traditional courting, sincerity isn't there, and
courting was a play for other guys because of courting through social media. Traditional courting is slowly
dying because of technology.
 Sex

Sex is a biological and physiological aspect of human life that involves sexual attraction, desire, and
activity. It is an essential part of intimate relationships and can contribute to emotional and physical
well-being. However, it is important to approach sex with respect, consent, and responsible decision-
making. For me, sex is sacred and something only a husband and wife should do. Sex is only designed
for marriage and should have consent. I observe that teenage pregnancy is continuously growing.
One factor is that they are not knowledgeable about safe sex and also that sex is normalized
nowadays. I see a lot of people posting about normalizing sex on social media, mostly people whose
mentality now depends on what they see on social media, mostly teenagers. They believe what they
see because they are confused about what is right or wrong. I believe that sex is right in the right
age, right situation and at the right time.

Love

Love is a complex and multifaceted emotion that encompasses a range of feelings, including
affection, attachment, and intimacy. It is a fundamental human experience that can bring joy,
fulfillment, and personal growth. Love can exist in various forms, such as romantic love, familial love,
and platonic love. There is romantic, familial, and platonic love. Non-romantic love is my love for my
parents, siblings, and pet. Platonic love is my love for my friends. Romantic love means having
romantic love for only one person. I believe that love is pure, secured, beautiful, happiness, and
freedom. Love means knowing that, no matter what, you have someone to rely on. It’s unconditional
and makes you feel good on the inside. You can trust the person you love and feel comfortable
around them.

Conclusion
 Reflecting on courtship, sex, and love allows me to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our
relationships, and the broader social context in which we live. It encourages us to critically examine
societal norms, challenge stereotypes, and make informed choices. Through the webinar, I learned to
be open to these topics so that I can cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships based on
mutual respect, understanding, and consent.
