  • Natural Law and the Regulation of Sexuality: a Critique
    Richmond Journalof Law and the Public Interest S'ummer 2004 Natural Law and the Regulation of Sexuality: A Critique Dr. Brent L. Pickett' The authorwishes to thank David Mapel and PatrickBlythe for their comments and suggestions on previous drafts of this essay. Today, natural law theory offers the most common intellectual defense for the differential treatment of gays and lesbians. Leading natural law theorists, such as John Finnis,2 Robert George,3 and Richard Duncan,4 have eagerly inserted themselves into debates about law and sexuality. If their arguments are sound, it is permissible to treat gays and lesbians differentially as a matter of law. Natural law theorists defend a range of policies in this regard, from anti- sodomy laws, to allowing persons to discriminate against gays and lesbians in employment and housing, to a fierce opposition to same-sex unions or, in their watered-down version, civil unions. In general, natural law theorists believe that it is rational for the state to 'discourage' homosexuality through such policies. Furthermore, they believe that other laws regulating sexuality are permissible and potentially beneficial, such as forbidding the sale of contraceptives to unmarried persons. I will argue that the natural-law understanding of sexuality, and its application to the law, is deeply flawed, in regards to homosexuality and sodomy. I begin by laying out some of the foundations of the natural law position. Central to the position is an account of human goods that are seen as good in themselves, and hence as rational bases for choice and human action. In regards to sexuality, the two most important goods, at least from the natural law perspective, are those of marriage and personal integration.

  • The Process of Sexual Becoming Chris Graham City University Of
    Running head: EXISTENTIAL SEXUALITIES 1 Existential sexualities: The process of sexual becoming Chris Graham City University of Seattle, Calgary Campus EXISTENTIAL SEXUALITIES 2 Abstract This research project explores the lived experience of sexual becoming from an existential lens. Research linking philosophical conceptions of existential sexualities with lived experience is lacking in existing academic literature, and this research attempts to give voice to lived experience in the process of sexual becoming. A qualitative framework was employed, using a descriptive phenomenological approach to interview participants and identify themes in the existential process of sexual becoming. Key themes of vulnerability, experience, and supports were identified as helping participants in overcoming barriers to the process of sexual becoming, an experience that was engaged in to foster an end goal of enhanced connection. Implications of the existential process of sexual becoming in counselling practice are discussed. Keywords: sexuality, existentialism, phenomenology, counselling EXISTENTIAL SEXUALITIES 3 Existential sexualities: The process of sexual becoming It is unclear how people come into and make sense of their sexualities. Understanding one’s sexualities is integral to the self, with Foucault (1976/1990) noting that it is through “the deployment of sexuality that each individual has to pass in order to have access to his own intelligibility, to the whole of his body, to his identity” (p. 155). This draws attention to the core importance of sexualities in one’s existence, further embedding existential consideration in the navigation of sexualities. This study aims to explore existential sexualities through developing a greater understanding of the lived experience of sexual becoming. As the available number of sex and sexuality identities expands, so too does the potential need and pressure for people to navigate such identities.

  • Pedagogy and Homosexuality in Ancient Greece 1. Pederasty and Pedagogy 2. the Myth of the Three Sexes (Halperin 19) 3. Does Homo
    Pedagogy and Homosexuality in Ancient Greece 1. Pederasty and Pedagogy It is clear from a variety of sources that from the Archaic period onwards, pederasty (or adult male to male child love/sex) was part of the gymnasia and hence the educational system. Usually this took the form of intercrural sex, foreplay, and gift- giving to boys. 2. The myth of the Three Sexes (Halperin 19) According to Aristophanes [in Plato's Symposium], human beings were originally round, eight-limbed creatures, with two faces and two sets of genitals--both front and back--and three sexes (male, female, and androgyne). These ancestors of ours were powerful and ambitious; in order to put them in their place, Zeus had them cut in two, their skin stretched over the exposed flesh and tied at the navel, and their heads rotated so as to keep that physical reminder of their daring and its consequences constantly before their eyes. The severed halves of each former individual, once reunited, clung to one another so desperately and concerned themselves so little with their survival as separate entities that they began to perish for lack of sustenance; those who outlived their mates sought out persons belonging to the same sex as their lost complements and repeated their embraces in a foredoomed attempt to recover their original unity. Zeus at length took pity on them, moved their genitals to the side their bodies now faced, and invented sexual intercourse, so that the bereaved creatures might at least put a temporary terminus to their longing and devote their attention to other, more important (if less pressing) matters.

  • Homosexuality: Part of World History
    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 HOMOSEXUALITY: PART OF WORLD HISTORY 1Shruti Yadav & 2Dr R.K. Patni 1Research Scholar, 2Professor 1,2Department of Computer Science and Information Technology Jyoti Vidyapeeth Women's University, Jaipur (Rajasthan) Abstract: Homosexuality is sentimental fascination, sexual fascination, or sexual conduct between individuals from a similar sex or sex. As a sexual direction, homosexuality is "a suffering example of enthusiastic, sentimental, and additionally sexual attractions" to individuals of a similar sex. It "likewise alludes to an individual's feeling of personality dependent on those attractions, related practices, and enrollment in a network of other people who share those attractions. The term homosexual emerged from work in the clinical and mental field to name and analyze same-sex sexual conduct. Homosexuality was regularly characterized and treated as an infection. But when we see the history it exists from a very long period. This paper will focus on the defining what is homosexuality, and its evidences from the historical period all around the world. Keywords: Homosexual, Homosexuality, Lesbianism, Gay 1. INTRODUCTION Homosexuality, sexual enthusiasm for and fascination in individuals from one's own sex. The term gay is as often as possible utilized as an equivalent word for homosexual; female homosexuality is regularly alluded to as lesbianism. At various occasions and in various societies, homosexual conduct has been differently endorsed of, endured, rebuffed, and restricted. Homosexuality was normal in antiquated Greece and Rome, and the connections among grown-up and immature guys specifically have become a central focal point of Western classicists lately. [1] Judeo-Christian just as Muslim societies have commonly seen homosexual conduct as evil.

DWORKINIAN LIBERALISM & GAY RIGHTS: A DEFENSE OF SAME-SEX RELATIONS by NGOC QUANG H. BUI Under the Direction of Andrew Altman ABSTRACT Recent changes in the politics of gay rights have led to a gay rights demand for liberal governments: i) decriminalization of sodomy and ii) full governmental recognition of civil, same-sex marriages. Challengers to liberalism argue that a neutral liberalism cannot satisfy the gay rights demand. I argue that the liberal political framework put forth by Ronald Dworkin can adequately fulfill the gay rights demand. Dworkinian liberalism, which is neutral with respect to the ethical life, need not be neutral with respect to moral and non-ethical values. I argue for the more modest claim that Dworkinian li- beralism has the conceptual tools and principles for satisfying the gay rights demand. In arguing for my claim, I discuss the internal criticisms of Carlos Ball and Michael Sandel and the external criti- cism of John Finnis.

SEXUAL IGNORANCE AND KNOWLEDGE AMONG UNMARRIED GIRLS IN MIDDLEMARCH By Marianne Burton [This article was first presented as a paper at the George Eliot Conference at the Institute of English Studies, Senate House, University of London, 22 November 2014.] Readers, in my experience, often make an assumption that unmarried girls in nineteenth­ century novels know nothing about sex, and this seems to be particularly the case regarding Dorothea Brooke. Had she only known about sex, so the adage goes, she would never have made her disastrous marriage choice. In this article I would like to examine this assumption in closer detail, looking not just at Dorothea and Celia, but also Rosamond Vincy and Mary Garth. I do not necessarily want to turn the notion on its head - I am not going to claim these girls were closet readers of de Sade - but I would like to open up the field a little and suggest sexual ignorance among unmarried girls in the nineteenth-century novel may not be as straightforward as readers sometimes imagine.

  • Toward a Global History of Same-Sex Sexuality
    Toward a Global History of Same-Sex Sexuality LEILA J. RUPP Ohio State University THIS IS THE presumptuous title of a paper I delivered for what I believe was the first-ever session on “Gay and Lesbian History/L’histoire de l’homo-sexualité” at the International Congress of Historical Sciences, held in August 2000 in Oslo. As I did there, let me hasten to say here that I do not claim knowledge of same-sex sexuality in every time and every place. But the blossoming of research on a wide range of manifestations of same-sex sexuality calls for an attempt at global thinking. Although my own work is rooted in U.S. and European history, I would like to make use of the work of scholars focusing on different parts of the world to reflect on what patterns might emerge. I take up this task from the per- spective of one firmly committed to a social constructionist perspective on sexuality. Thus, I recognize that making transhistorical comparisons can be a risky business. Nevertheless, I think we can learn something by think- ing about same-sex sexuality from a global viewpoint. I favor the term “same-sex sexuality” as one that gets beyond the use of terms such as “queer,” “gay,” “lesbian,” or “homosexual.” Yet I would like to proceed by looking at manifestations of what we call “same-sex sexuality” in different times and places both to explore global patterns and to consider how those patterns make the two parts of the term “same- sex sexuality” problematic. That is, sometimes such manifestations cannot really be considered “same-sex,” and sometimes they should not really be labeled “sexuality.” These complications suggest that even the attempt to avoid assumptions about the meanings of desires, acts, and relationships by using a term such as “same-sex sexuality” may inadvertently lump to- gether phenomena that are quite different.
