No Sex
Our group chose “Speak To The Hand” by Lakita Garth. This song
talks about the health
risks of casual sex, and sexual encounters. We chose it because
of it’s positive message
and the good results that would take place in the event this
concept would be heeded. We
also chose it because of it’s rapid, up beat tempo that
stimulates movement, which is an
excellent way to keep fit.
First of all, the message that is being exhibited is that
abstinence should be
exercised, no sex is the safest sex and that excuses will not
protect you from reality. It
presents all the defenses employed such as, dysfunctional family,
no will power, been
incarcerated, peer pressure, it’s only their “job”, they needed
the money, they “were going
to get married eventually”, it’s “their body it’s their choice”
and even that “whatever
happens, happens”. “Speak To The Hand” lets you know that excuses
are not O.K., and
says that “If you know who you are and what you are supposed to
do then you wouldn’t
continue to do what you do”. It urges listeners to “seek and
find”, “to not let their eyes go
blind” and to “not let the wrong things influence their minds”.
Examples of this would be
sexually stimulating movies, ads, friends, television programs,
magazines, music or
dressing provocatively.

Many bad aftereffects can be produced by chance intimate
relationships. Among
these are unwanted pregnancy, spread of disease, virus or
infection or mental damages.
The most irrepressible effect is the chance of disease. The many
afflictions that you leave
yourself open for are innumerable. An example of this would be,
Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, that eventually would deteriorate
your immune system.
Also, there’s Herpes that causes sores on the genitals, Chlamydia
which causes pain while
urinating and severe lower abdominal pain or Gonorrhea which
causes pelvic
inflammatory disease.
Another reason this song was chosen was because of it’s
accelerated tempo. A
rapid beat, accompanied by a positive message influences mood
which is a fundamental
piece of holistic health. It motivates you to move by dance,
which is an excellent form of
exercise. Exercise speeds the rate oxygen reaches the
bloodstream, which causes clearer,
faster more efficient thinking, makes you feel and look more
healthy and even increases
your mood.
In conclusion, “Speak To The Hand” by Lakita Garth is a positive
and enriching
song that although teaches right from wrong, does so in a
non-preaching and

non-lecturing manner. It is a outstanding way to reach people and
educate them on the
dangers and trouble that may result from unplanned and
out-of-wedlock sexual
encounters.
