Understanding who we are, including our sexuality, can help us enjoy life more. Sexuality is part of a total person. It includes a wide range of norms where the act of sex is just a small part of a much bigger picture. Planned parenthood's website says this....
"You're talking about it, reading about it, and watching it wherever you go. But a lot of what you read, see, and hear about sex and sexuality is inaccurate, confusing, or even harmful. A basic understanding of sex and sexuality can help you sort out myth from fact and help you make good decisions about your sexual health.
Our sexuality affects who we are and how we express ourselves. There's a wide range of how people experience their sexuality. Some people are very sexual, while others experience no feelings of sexual attraction at all. Your sexuality may be influenced by your family, culture, religion, media, friends, and experiences. No matter how important sexuality is to you, we all have thoughts, desires, attractions, and values that are unique."
Sexuality includes:
What is the difference between sex and gender?
