  5. Definitions • Sex: Whether a person is male or female and is determined by reproductive organs and how people express their gender and it also means sexual intercourse.

  6. Definitions… • Intimacy: is the ability and need to emotionally be close to another human being and have that closeness reciprocated. Intimacy makes personal relationship rich. A couple can have intimacy without having sexual intercourse. • Sexual Identity: This is a persons understanding of whom he or she is sexually.

  7. Definitions… • Reproductive and sexual health is the capacity to reproduce,attitudes and behaviors that make sexual relationships healthy both physically and emotionally. • Sexualization is using sex or sexuality to influence, manipulate or control other people. Behaviors include offering money for sex, giving grades to students in exchange for sexual favors (sexual transmitted marks), sexual harassment, sexual abuse or rape or withholding sex from a partner to ‘punish’ or to get something you want.

  8. Definitions… • Sensuality is the awareness and feelings about your own body and other people’s bodies. Sensuality enables us to feel good about our bodies, how we look and feel and what the body can do. It enables us to enjoy the pleasure our bodies can give others and us. It reflects our body image (whether we feel attractive and proud of our body). It satisfies our need for physical closeness- to be touched and held by others in loving and caring ways. It is in adolescencethat this awareness and feelings begin and this affects how we think, relate and behave.

  9. Aspects of sexuality • Body image:How we look and feel about ourselves, and how we appear to others. • Gender roles: The way we express being either male or female, and the expectations people have for us based on our sex. • Relationships:The ways we interact with others and express our feelings for others. • Intimacy:Close sharing of thoughts or feelings in a relationship, it can or cannot involve physical closeness.

  10. Aspects of sexuality… • Love: Feelings of affection and how we express those feelings for others. • Sexual arousal: The different things that excite sexually. • Social roles: How we contribute to and fit into society. • Genitals: The parts of our bodies that define our sex. They are part of sexual pleasure and reproduction.
