My case is where to draw the line with young adults and the way they dance at parties. Is it beginning to become too sexual, almost gaining a parallel with the actual act? Dancing at parties has become a very groping style and pessimists have labeled it as “dry sex”. Is this a form a male dominance and do you think it dehumanizes women? Granted, not all girls leave parties with the same feelings or experiences as my friend, so understand that this is not a generalization.  But in today’s society where women are gaining higher ground in positions of power, is this a detriment to their morals or lack thereof? Where do we draw the line before a guy gets the wrong message, and takes it upon himself to become aggressive which potentially lead to further problems, God forbid sexual harassment? Whats your opinion on the way dancing has become too closely linked to sex? Do you agree with the phrase “dry sex”? Is the “fascination” of sex/sexual activity media driven? You don’t have to answer every question, just some feedback would help me a lot as I develop my presentation.
