“You think you know, but you don’t” a famous philosopher once said this ... or was it a politician? I'm not really sure anymore. A lot of things have been going on inside my mind lately; projects, long quizzes, recitations, these things have been usually just a piece of cake for me. But now, because of the added responsibilities, extra-curricular activities, proposals that need to be approved, my life has been one hell of a ride.

LoVE iN tHe cOnTeXt Of Sex
Love; what is love? How do we define love? Well, Webster’s Dictionary defines love as a warm, inconspicuous and primeval affection, benevolence or charity towards ourselves or for other people. Eddie Babor stated that love can be irrational and therefore subjective and can be rational and therefore objective. Other philosophers also defined love as one of the most heart-warming and gratifying feelings a person or individual could feel. Such complex definitions that one may fail to realize that love is such a frequently used or applied term in our lives.
When it comes to romantic love, a lot of people nowadays are still confused about how they feel towards other people. Maybe that’s why many of them end up having unwanted pregnancy to ruin their lives because they always confuse love for lust. Many people, especially teenagers and young adults, pair love with sex or sexual activities. They tend to think that when they engage in sexual intercourse with somebody which usually results to unwanted pregnancy, the fruit of their act becomes a product of their love for one another. That’s where they are wrong. How could something as negative, pitiful and uncertain as unwanted pregnancy be a result of love which is said to always bring something that is positive? It’s like waking up in a really bad inescapable dream without knowing where to go or who to turn to. If you’re in this predicament, it’s like getting hit by a shiny red Mexican-made ball with spikes on it. It’s like falling in an unending fiery spiral with no one to catch you. How could a feeling be called love when it results to the ruin and destruction of each others lives and reputations?
For me, sex should only be practiced or done when the partners are really genuinely in love with each other. When they acknowledge each others strengths, weaknesses and personalities and when they realize and accept the consequences and effects of the actions they are going to do then that is love in the context of sex. Without real and true love, sex should never be done or practiced.
