PHISICAL ABUSE DURING THE COURTSHIP

During a casual conversation among people who have nothing important to talk about a trivial theme came up, a theme I believed made part of the past: physical abuse during the courtship. The protagonists of this anachronistic relation are an upper-class beautiful woman who attends a prestigious university, and an ordinary man from a lower-class. In addition, he was a poor student.

History has pointed out that men have taken advantage of women because of their physical superiority, by raping, humiliating and subjecting them to all kinds of abuse. The modern world also shows that the abuse against women has been decreasing due to the education and/or punishments imposed by the law. This is why these shameful acts are more frequently seen in developing countries than in industrialized ones. With respect to the social environment these acts are more common in the lower class than the middle class, and almost nonexistent in the upper class. Focusing specifically on couples’ relationships; physical abuse habitually occurs in marital relations and exceptionally during the courtship.

Currently, there are five possible causes that can be identified as to why a woman may tolerate physical abuse from her boyfriend during the courtship: unattractiveness, loneliness, ignorance, sexual passion or masochism. The experience has demonstrated how much a woman may suffer when she is not physically flattered by Mother Nature and nobody wants to date her. Consequently, she retreats in solitude and becomes a lonely person. For this reason, when a man appears, this woman is able to endure anything in order to avoid being alone again. Ignorance allows a woman to accept anything from her man. Sexual passion is an appetizing turbulence that emerges from sexual relations, and masochism is a psychiatric illness in which a person finds his/her sexual pleasure from feeling intense pain. In our examined case, if we take into consideration the fact that she is a beautiful, rich, and intelligent woman who spends her free time at fitness centers and going out with friends; sexual passion is the most likely reason why a woman as herself would bear an abusive relationship.

Resolving a sexual passion problem seems to be difficult and complicated because the woman wrongly believes that her man with whom she enjoys and shares that luscious and strong sensation is irreplaceable. For this reason, she should use good reasoning to leave behind her sexual passion problem instead of turning her life into a soap opera. The situation may turn even more serious and complex if this student has masochism problems. In this case, she would need professional help. Recapitulating, it is not worth tolerating an abusive relationship because of unattractiveness, loneliness, ignorance, or sexual passion. If a woman is subject to physical abuse during the courtship, she should know that her life will be in danger during her marital life.

The women's world is a mystery and when we talk about their amorous zone is even more complicated. However, I am agreed with you in this case because only passion sexual o masochism can be the cause to endure phisical abuse.
