<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*To receive full credit, you had to include that Eros was the child of Penia, a poor human woman, and Poros, the god of resource, and that Eros was conceived so that Penia could escape poverty.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*4 points were awarded if you were missing one of these: the names Poros and Penia; that Poros was a god and Penia was a human woman; that Eros was conceived so that Penia could escape poverty</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*The correct answer is “to have the good forever.” I awarded full points for responses that made some reference to immortality, as well as the good/beautiful.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 3 points if you mentioned reproduction and beauty, but did not connect this to the idea of immortality. (You are correct that reproduction is significant, but consider why reproduction is important--because it allows you to achieve immortality).</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 2 points if you mentioned the good or the beautiful, but did not mention immortality/forever, or if you mentioned immortality without referencing the good/beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 3 points if you mentioned the idea of desiring what you do not have; you are correct that this is discussed in Diotima and Socrates’s dialogue, but the significant part of the definition (and the one discussed in lecture) is the idea of having the good forever.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I also awarded 2 points if you mentioned wisdom/knowledge; again, this is mentioned in the dialogue but not the main point.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*There were several possible reasons you could give here, and I gave 5 points if you mentioned 3 of these: they know each other’s bodies/understand female anatomy; they have sex in the context of relationships; there is no danger of pregnancy; there are no gendered power dynamics, including the likelihood of physical coercion; they are more likely to communicate about their desires; they are more likely to care about pleasing their partner</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I gave 4 points if you had 2 of these 3, and 3 points if you had 1 of these 3</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I gave 3 points if your answer considered only the idea that they have sex in relationships which is associated with higher rates of orgasm, but did not include anything that would explain why *lesbians* in particular might have higher rates of orgasm (these answers tend to demonstrate that you got some of the ideas from lecture about the relationship between love and orgasm, but not necessarily that you got the ideas from the reading).</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*The correct answer is that females decide on the sex; males decide on the emotional. I awarded full credit for this answer, and 0 points if you had the relationship reversed.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*In a few cases, I gave 3 points if you wrote that males decide on both or females decide on both, but demonstrated some understanding of the power dynamics of hook-ups, as discussed in the reading.</span></div>

</ol>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*The correct answer is that there is a double standard, and that women who desire sex without emotional conditions/expectations are stigmatized and are assumed to have lesser sexual drives than men. Women would have a greater interest in having a relationship to protect themselves from stigma. I awarded full credit for answers that gave a correct explanation of the double standard, and included something about women wanting to protect their reputations, avoid stigma, avoid being labelled as a slut, etc.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*There were 3 reasons discussed: the logistics become more difficult (i.e., in college students concentrated in small area; this changes after college); people are looking for relationship in order to marry after college; and there is not the same protection and social control after college (i.e., in college people are familiar with each other, rapes can be reported to campus authorities, etc.). I awarded full credit to answers that included these 3 reasons.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 4 points to answers that mentioned 2 of these reasons, and 3 points to answers that mentioned 1 of these reasons. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 2 points to answers that described that after college, the hook-up scene disappears, and dating precedes sex, rather than the reverse. This is correct, but it is really just a re-statement of the question, not an explanation for *why* this change occurs. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">7. According to England et al essay on hooking-up, there is a difference between the way women judge men after they have hooked up with them and the way they feel judged by men afterwards. What is the difference?</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded full credit if you wrote that women are much more likely to feel that their partners did not respect them compared to not respecting their partners. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 4 points if your answer did not consider how women *feel* judged by men (you may have wrote that men disrespect women following hook-ups, but this does not get at the question of how women perceive men to be judging them).</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 3 points if you mentioned that women felt unsatisfied or used; you are starting to get at it, but the question is focusing on how women feel judged. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I also awarded 3 points for some answers that discussed that women hope relationships will come from hook-ups, whereas men don’t feel the same way; this is true, but not quite getting at what the question is asking.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">8. How is love imagined to be a feminine act for men by Diotima in Plato’s <i>Symposium.</i></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><i>*</i>The correct answer is that Diotima says love is “to give birth in beauty”; it is imagined to be a feminine act because giving birth is a feminine act. I awarded full credit if you had something about birth, reproduction, fertility, or pregnancy. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">9. How do we know from lecture that the relationship between loving somebody and orgasm is not just due to the fact that people, particularly women, often prefer to confine sexual intercourse to romantic relationships, and that men are more likely to orally pleasure their female partners in romantic relationships? In other words, what evidence was shown that the effect of love on orgasm is not simply due to the fact that love is correlated with particular sex acts?</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*The correct answer is that we ran regressions of orgasm on love, controlling for sexual acts. I awarded full credit for this answer. I also awarded full credit for answers that demonstrated some *other* reason for which love might be correlated with orgasm (i.e., that love is also associated w/ familiarity with partner, which is correlated with orgasm, or that people perform a greater variety of sex acts in relationships, which is correlated w/ orgasm).</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*I awarded 4 points for answers that were getting at the idea that it’s not just b/c love associated w/ particular sex acts that it leads to orgasm, but didn’t get at the logic of trying to show this is not a spurious relationship.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">*Some answers simply stated that surveys show that women are more likely to orgasm in romantic relationships/with partners they love, or included specific statistics for how much more likely men and women who love their partner are to orgasm. I awarded 2 points for these answers. You are correct, but the question is getting at the reason for this relationship.</span></div>

If you could change one thing about the way in which intimate couplings are organized at UCSB what would it be?</div>

England et. al document the low rate of female orgasm in hookups. Why do you think the rate is so low: 19% in their 2008 article? And why are women nonetheless not any less satisfied with these encounters than their male partners?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Love has become problematic in American culture, a source of
considerable private and public anxiety.
Love’s conditions of possibility are no longer taken for granted. This is nowhere more evident than in
America’s youth culture, where “hooking up,” an apparently new erotic
formation, has emerged, at least if one believes the popular press and the
stories of worried parents, particularly those with daughters. Sexuality is not only a personal issue, it
has become a religious one, not only in this country but as an object of
concern for politicized religions around the world. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This course is trans-disciplinary, drawing on historical,
philosophical, sociological, evolutionary, physiological, religious and
political sources and approaches. It
first examines the ways in which erotic love has been figured in the history of
Western civilization and then explores the organization of high school and
college sexual and romantic life against this backdrop, following the arc from
Hellenism to the “hook-up.” It then
moves into the physiological and evolutionary bases of sexual desire and romantic
attachment, and then ways in which these may condition the organization of the
erotic lives of emerging adults. And it
closes with the ways in which the erotic has become politicized by religious
movements around the world, including Islamic movements, and how students’
religious beliefs shape their erotic lives.<o:p></o:p></div>

Nobody has, however, ventured to say anything about orgasm or hooking up. The reason, I suspect, is because there was no anonymous comment option. That option has now been enabled so you can leave completely anonymous remarks.<br />

This is the first open space to discuss issues brought up in the course. It is a place to ask questions and relate experiences, to even bring what we have been learning into some kind of relation to the concerns that animate your lives. <br />

You can also link to video clips or radio stories if you wish. Include at least the title, the author, and the source. Write up a brief summary of the article. Include a link to the article. If you want to make commentary, that's fine too. No duplications allowed. The reference blog for each topic will serve as a resource for all students writing their essay on that topic.Roger Friedlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642399685865586473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675457644620832697.post-18961218088362721142010-10-05T19:13:00.005-07:002010-10-05T19:13:53.311-07:00The Sexual Double StandardRoger Friedlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642399685865586473noreply@blogger.com67tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675457644620832697.post-65082788175644962202010-10-05T19:13:00.003-07:002010-10-05T19:13:34.683-07:00Who is a Virgin and why?Roger Friedlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642399685865586473noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675457644620832697.post-91372379168790509662010-10-05T19:13:00.001-07:002010-10-05T19:13:12.166-07:00Flirting: Opportunities and ConstraintsRoger Friedlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642399685865586473noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675457644620832697.post-1119156065102364752010-10-05T19:12:00.002-07:002010-10-05T19:12:46.267-07:00Do Feminists Love Differently?Roger Friedlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642399685865586473noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675457644620832697.post-42542729193080886052010-10-05T19:12:00.000-07:002010-10-07T06:29:48.602-07:00Religious Students and Sex Before Marriage<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px;"><b><br />
