Your sexuality includes all of your feelings, thoughts,

wants, and behaviors toward other individuals.

Each person sexuality is particular to them and an
essential component of who they are.
Finding your sexuality can be a freeing, thrilling, and
rewarding experience.
 Humans are likely to engage in sexual activities to
satisfy sexual urges.
However, the kind of sexual activities they engage
in may vary.
A person should be aware of his/her sexuality and sexual
attributes in order to make responsible decisions.
Adolescents need to realize the importance of having
informed choices.
 The visible changes in the human body,
often known as secondary sexual characteristics,
begin throughout puberty.
To satisfy sexual urges, humans are inclined to participate in
sexual behaviors.
The sexual behaviors they experience,
however, may differ.
To make appropriate judgments, a person should be aware of
their sexuality and sexual characteristics.
Adolescents must understand the significance of making well-
informed decisions.
Sex refers to the physiological distinctions between
male and female bodies,
as well as other intersex bodies.
 A person's sex, as defined by biology, does not necessarily
correlate to their gender.
The terms "sex" and "gender" must not often be used
interchangeably.
The term "gender" refers to the social and cultural differences
between male, female, or intersex.
Typically, boys (gender) are assigned to infants born with
male sex traits (sex), whereas girls (gender) are allocated to
babies born with female sex characteristics (sex) (gender).
 Transgender people identify with a role other than their
biological sex (for example, they were born with male sex
characteristics, were assigned as a boy, but now
identify as a girl, woman, or another gender entirely).
The word "transgender" refers to various identities,
including agender, genderfluid, genderqueer, two-spirit (for
many indigenous people), and androgynous.
Puberty is the time when young boys and girls go through the process of
sexual development. Puberty is a set of physical phases or processes
that lead to the development of secondary sex characteristics or physical
traits associated with adult males and females and the accomplishment
of fertility (such as the growth of pubic hair). While puberty entails a
sequence of biological or physical changes, it can also impact
adolescents' psychological and emotional development.
The beginning of puberty differs from person to person.
Girls typically reach puberty between the ages of 10 and 14, while boys
reach puberty between 12 and 16.
 THE HUMAN SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR
Sex, like food, is an essential component of our life. T Human sexual
activity, on the other hand, is about much more than reproduction.
Human sexuality can have sexual thoughts and experiences, and it
relates to a person sexual interest in and attraction to others.
Sexuality is distinct from biological sex because it relates to sexual
desire and feelings.
-Biological sex, on the other hand, describes typically male,
female, or intersex. Gender identity, a person perception of gender
based on biological sex are distinct from sexuality .It differs from
influences, sexual orientation, or emotional and sexual attraction to a
specific sex or gender.
 THE HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE
The sexual response cycle illustrates the physical
and emotional changes when a person is sexually
aroused and engages in sexually stimulating activities,
such as intercourse and masturbation.
Understanding how your body reacts during each phase
of the cycle might help you improve your relationship
and pinpoint the source of any sexual issues.
 There are four stages to the sexual response cycle:
excitation, plateau, climax, and resolution.
These stages affect both men and women.
However, the timing is generally different. It unusual, for
example, that both lovers would have an orgasm
at the same moment. Furthermore, the strength of the
response and the time spent in each phase differs from
one individual to the next.
 SEXUAL PROBLEMS
Sexual dysfunction is a problem that can happen during any
phase of the sexual response cycle.
It prevents you from experiencing satisfaction from sexual
activity.
The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement,
plateau, orgasm and resolution.
 THE COST OF SEXUAL PREFERENCES
The act in which the male organ (penis) enters the
female's reproductive system is sexual intercourse
(copulation).
The sensations experienced by adolescent couples
during sexual intercourse are sometimes
overwhelming.
