Texas LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jurisprudence Exam

What behavior qualifies as conduct that is sexual in nature in terms of bodily exposure?

1. Ask the students to evaluate the lesson

2. Kissing or fondling

3. Ask the teacher to evaluate the lesson

4. Making comments about potential sexual performance unless pertinent to sexual function in counseling

The correct answer is: Kissing or fondling

Kissing or fondling is explicitly sexual behavior that involves physical intimacy and personal boundaries. This conduct is inherently sexual in nature because it involves one person making physical contact with another in a way that can be considered intimate or sexual. Such actions typically elicit a sexual response or convey sexual intent, making them clear examples of conduct that qualifies as sexual in nature regarding bodily exposure. In contrast, the other behaviors mentioned do not involve any physical element or intention that aligns with sexual conduct. Asking students or a teacher to evaluate a lesson is an academic or professional action that does not imply or suggest sexual behavior. Similarly, making comments about potential sexual performance is only relevant if it connects directly to the context of sexual function in counseling and does not necessarily indicate sexual conduct itself unless deemed inappropriate in the setting. Therefore, "B" accurately reflects the definition of conduct that is sexual in nature in this context.
