  1. Human Sexuality Lesson #3: Relationships PAF3O/PAF4O

  2. Relationships • Relationships are part of our sexual health. • But not all relationships are sexual • We are in relationships from the time we are born • Family members • Care givers • Friends • Neighbours • Teachers • Employers • Some people prefer small circles of close friends, others a wider circle of friends and acquaintances.

  3. Relationship Benefits • People get lots of things out of a relationship: • Love • Companionship • Safety • Shared interests • Affection • Shared hopes/dreams • Support when they need help • Sounding board for problems • Someone to have fun with • Shared culture/religion

  4. Relationship Benefits • Many of these same benefits apply to intimate/sexual relationships. • Are there any that are different?

  5. Sexual Relationships • Part of sexual health is healthy sexual relationships. • Healthy sexual relationships do NOT involve sexual assault or harassment. Sometimes these are obvious, sometimes not. • Sexual Assault: Unwanted force or threatening to apply force to another person in a circumstance of a sexual nature. For example: • Unwanted touching, grabbing • Harassment: Unwanted sexual attention from another person. For example: • Comments, gestures, sounds, winks, name-calling • Intrusive questions • Telephone calls, texts, stalking

  6. Flirting vs. Harassment • What’s the difference?! • Flirting makes you feel good • Harassment makes you feel bad • The same act/comment can be one or the other • If it’s wanted, it’s be flirting • If it’s unwanted, it’s harassment • Saying “You’re looking good today” in one tone can be flirting, in another can be harassment • We’re all responsible for stopping harassment • Speak up if you’re not comfortable with someone’s behaviour • Speak to them if you’re comfortable • Tell an adult if you’re more comfortable with that

  7. Age of Consent • Any non-consensual sexual activity (touching, kissing, intercourse) is a criminal offense • In Canada’s Criminal Code, the age of consent for sexual activity is 16. (It was 14 until 2008.) • If you’re under 14, you can consent to mutual sexual involvement with someone who is with 2 years of you • If you’re 14 or 15, you can consent to mutual sexual involvement with someone who is up to 5 years older than you – as long as they are NOT in a position of trust or authority over you. • If you’re 16 or 17, you can consent to mutual sexual involvement with someone who is NOT in a position of trust or authority over you.

  8. Healthy/Unhealthy Relationships • Brainstorm: What words come to mind for: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

  9. Attitudes and Values • Our attitudes and values are influenced by our lived experience. • They are neither right nor wrong • They are personal • But they can create conflict between people • Dealing with attitudes and values that are different from our own can be challenging and exhausting. • Part of being in a relationship means understanding your own attitudes and values, and navigating someone else’s.

  10. Worksheet • Fill out the Attitudes and Values Worksheet. • When you’re done, crumple up your paper and throw it into the middle of the room. • When everyone’s done, pick up a paper. • When the question is read out, move to the corresponding side of the room. • Were any of the questions/answers surprising to you? • What would it be like to be in a relationship with someone who disagreed on one or more of these issues?

  11. The Bottom Line • With respect to reproductive health: • Strive for healthy relationships, based on communication and understanding • Be sure that you’re ready for and okay with what you’re doing • Be sure anyone else involved is ready for and okay with what you’re doing • Be sure that you know the possible consequences (good and bad) • Be sure that you’re ready for the possible consequences • Remember that complete health is physical, mental, social, and emotional.
