Problem:
Sexual Motivation and Sex Culture in Black Mirror: "Striking Vipers" Objective: In chapter 7, we have discussed various topics related to Motivation and Behavior. In this assignment, you will apply the psychological concepts of sexual motivation, along with concepts related to sex culture from Chapter 7 to an analysis of the Black Mirror episode, "Striking Vipers." This episode explores the evolving relationship between two cisgender African American male friends, Karl and Danny, and challenges conventional understandings of friendship, sexuality, and identity. Task: After watching the episode, write a reaction essay of no less than one and a half to two pages that addresses the following prompts. Please use specific examples from the episode to support your analysis. Key Concepts to Guide Your Analysis: As you write, refer to the textbook's definitions of sexual motivation (the biological, emotional, cognitive, and social forces that activate and direct sexual behavior) and sex culture (the set of requirements a culture has regarding sexuality and its expression). You may also find Table 7.2 (on traditional vs. non-traditional sex cultures and their attitudes towards sex) helpful. Essay Prompts: Real-World Influences: Describe how the distinct "real-life" sex cultures of Danny (married life) and Karl (single life) shape their daily sexual motivations. Compare and contrast the expectations and pressures of these two social contexts as portrayed in the episode. Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Cultures: Analyze the "real-life" sex cultures of both Danny and Karl. Need Assignment Help?
