Discussion Board : Role of Consent in Paraphilias

Prompt for Leaders: Navigating the Nuances of Consent

  • Discuss the role of consent in distinguishing paraphilias from paraphilic disorders, and why this distinction is important.
  • Share examples where the boundary between paraphilias and paraphilic disorders may not be clear-cut, and the ethical considerations involved.
  • How can we, as individuals and as a society, ensure that consent is properly understood and respected in all sexual situations?

This discussion offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the ethical framework that guides sexual health and behavior.

Remember to draw from your readings AND lecture material. Your contributions can also include insights from academic research, credible media sources, or personal experiences that you’re comfortable sharing.

 

 

 

 

 

Instructions on how you can write the assignments 

 

 

Start the group’s discussion by posting your thoughtful response to the instructor’s prompt.

 

Your post should expand on the instructor’s prompt, introducing additional ideas, raising questions, or offering a unique perspective.

 

Reference specific aspects of the readings book to support your points.

  • Example: “Reflecting on the instructor’s prompt and considering what we read in [Chapter name/Section Title, Page Number], I think…” (or something similar to this sentence structure)

You may bring in external sources (in addition to reference to the required course material- see above), like journal articles, to support your points or introduce new perspectives

  • Example: “In response to the instructor’s prompt/ question about [Topic], I read an article by [Author(s) last name] which offers the perspective that… or showed that… or discovered that…”
  • Any external sources must be cited properly in APA format
  • Example citation:
    • In-text: According to Smith (2020), the dynamics of online communication can significantly alter interpersonal relationships (p. 123).

 

End your post with 3 questions that encourage further exploration and discussion.

  • Example Questions:
    • “Considering [Instructor’s Prompt], how might [Concept/Theory] apply in [Specific Context]?”
    • “What implications does [Key Point] have for [Specific Issue/Scenario] in light of our readings?”
    • “How do our course materials help us understand [Aspect of Instructor’s Prompt] better?”
