Find an article from the popular media, such as a magazine, that describes sexual turn-ons or techniques (be sure it is substantial enough to critique). You will use information presented in class, from your text, and from your research to write a 2 page critique of the article that includes all of the following:
– How accurate was any information given in the article in regards to sexual response? (Keep in mind that sexual response has many components–physiology, emotions, context, etc.) Consult additional sources, such as a text, if necessary. ALWAYS cite your sources.
The tone of the article–goal/performance-oriented, relationship-oriented, any other tone you may notice, etc.
-Issues of diversity: For example, is there heterosexism present in the article? Do they assume the person reading the article is sexually active with a member of the other sex?
What gender roles are encouraged by the article? What examples in the text can you find to support your claim?
-The article’s effectiveness in adding and encouraging the satisfaction of both sexual partners.
-Your personal opinion of and reaction to the sexual suggestions and an explanation of why you feel the way you do.
