Media informs the construction of sexuality

Media informs the construction of sexuality/ English

In this unit we consider how the media informs the construction of sexuality. I want us to think more about the gendered, raced, classed, and heteronormative way in which virginity is represented in contemporary media. This week I want you to watch the first episode of MTV’s Virgin Territory (First episode link). I want you to analyze the gendered constructions of virginity in this episode. What are the ways in which virginity and the prospect of “losing” one’s virginity are framed and represented for the women in the show as compared to the men? How does MTV’s Virgin Territory demonstrate how sexuality is socially constructed? Does it rely on sexual and/or romantic scripts or norms to tell its stories? What does this say about how we conceptualize virginity and sexuality in American society? Don’t forget to use this week’s materials to support your argument!
