What is It
In this activity, you will learn and understand sexuality as an important component of
one’s personality.
Sexuality is an essential part of what we do and who we are. It is the way in which we
experience and express ourselves as human beings. It is the entire expression of an
individual’s self-concept. Sexuality involves the physical, mental, social, emotional and ethical
aspects of one’s personality.
Sexuality is a natural and healthy part of life. It is everything about being a male or
female. It’s the most important aspect in masculine or feminine identification. It involves the
name given at birth, the toys played with, the garments worn, the buddies played with, the roles
and responsibilities at home. Sexuality provides a sense of self-worth when sexual
understanding is positive.
Gender and Human Sexuality
Gender is a social concept on how men and women should think, feel, and act. It
refers to femininity or masculinity of a person’s role and behavior as defined by society.
Human sexuality is the quality of being male or female. It is the way in which we
experience and express ourselves as sexual beings. (Department of Education, 2013)
