Reflection #6
For this journal entry I frankly didn’t know which poem to write about or what to say about them because as you all know poems are interpreted by everyone in a different way. The only person who knows its real meaning is the one who wrote it, in other words the author.
I chose the poem written by Sharon Olds, “Sex without Love”, because I agree with the way she thinks and in the way she writes the poem it’s just so true. Having sex on today’s days it’s just plain normal. It doesn’t even matter with who you do it with. People already lost even the meaning of what a kiss is. Now you give a kiss to just about anyone. I’m not saying that everyone thinks or acts that way but majority rules, unfortunately. How can you have sex with a person that you don’t love? How can you give your body to a person that might not deserve you at all? I mean we are more than just a sex object but frankly we don’t value ourselves. I mean like they say it’s just for the pleasure but how about when it all ends… do you actually feel satisfied and happy or do you feel empty inside or just normal like if that was just one more of the many that have passed through your hands…We need to be careful because we have made this a normal routine, part of our everyday life and it shouldn’t be this way. This should be something special and nice shared with only the person you love and that are going to be with the rest of your life…but not everyone thinks the same way so just think about the consequences that this could lead to and the values you’ve been taught.

It is very true, people now days think about sex as a common thing and it should not be like that.
I have to say that I have a lot of respect for you because as you say there are few that think the way you do. I think that you can count them with one hand and you might have fingers left. But, is it really worth it to preserve yourself and fall in love with someone that could not give you the same treatment. Even if I do not know who you are if you have a boyfriend and he doesn't respect your decision tell me and I will kick his behind because nowadays it is like finding a treasure a virgin till mariage so that has to give you a lot of pride do not fall under preasure.
