This is an opportunity to utilize what you learned about the determinants of sexual health and apply it to McMaster student life.

While there is no specific word count, please try to keep your reflection to less than 1 page long (single spaced). It’s up to you to decide how in-depth you’d like to reflect on each determinant.

Here are some questions and comments to guide your reflection writing:

1. Reflecting on your own or your peers’ experiences, what are some factors of being a McMaster student that may help or hinder someone from taking care of their sexual health? Are there any factors that apply to a subset of students’ experience at McMaster more specifically? (e.g., polyamorous students, students engaging in casual sex, trans students).
2. Students who are abstinent and entering first-year residence may feel pressured to “lose their virginity” due to common myths around campus life and expectations. Abstinent students have access to SWC resources, which validate and reinforce autonomy in choosing whichever sexual behaviors suit your wants and needs. What are some resources that university students can use to clarify misconceptions and make informed decisions around sexual health?
3. Was there anything in the content that surprised you?
