 Identifying Basic Terms in
Lesson Sexuality and
1 Discussing Sexuality as an
Important Component of One’s
Personality

What I Need to Know

Human Sexuality
It refers to people’s sexual interest and attraction to others. Sexuality often shapes
through emotional and sexual attraction to particular genders or sexes. It can also be
experienced and expressed in many different ways like desires, fantasies, values,
behaviours, beliefs, roles, attitudes and relationships. It is a natural and healthy part of life of
being a male or a female and is an important aspect in masculine and feminine identification.
Sexuality involves your name given at birth, the toys you played in childhood, the
friends you play with, the preference of your clothes you wear, and the roles and
responsibilities you play in your own home. Your family, peers, community and the society
you live with helps shape your personality. When you have a positive sexual understanding
of yourself, self-worth also improves and increases.

8. Likes to put ribbons and clips in the hair

What Is It
Activity 1 shows the different activities and preferences you do in your childhood. As
you grow older your choices, activities and preferences may also vary in different ways.
Sexual development is a continuous developmental process throughout life. It contributes
the major aspect of our personality for it begins from birth to adulthood. To fully understand
what sexuality is, let us define the basic terms for sex, sexuality and gender.

Sex
It refers to physiological differences found among male, female and various intersex
bodies on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions. It has two characteristics;
1. Primary Sex Characteristics – those related to the reproductive system
2. Secondary Sex Characteristics- those that are not directly related to the
reproductive system, such as breasts and facial hair.

Sexuality
It refers to people’s sexual interest in and attraction to others, as well as their
capacity to have erotic experiences and responses. It is experienced and expressed in
thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours, practices, roles and
relationships. Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social,
economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors. (WHO, 2006a,
updated 2010)

Gender
It is a term that refers to social or cultural distinctions associated with being male,
female, or intersex. It does not exist naturally because it was generally regarded as a social
construct where the concept is created by cultural and societal norms.

2
Key Points:

Sex is entered on the biological basis of being a male or female which gender is
socially determined based on a person’s role and behavior. Take for example; babies born
with male sex characteristics (sex) are assigned as boys (gender); babies born with female
sex characteristics (sex) are assigned as girls (gender). Sexuality on the other hand is an
integral part of what we do and who we are and the way in which we experience and
express ourselves as sexual beings.

differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. It is how the various

Human Sexuality is part of our overall personality. It is something that is natural and
biological that develops into personality when growing up.

 Lesson
Explaining the Dimensions of
2 Human Sexuality

What’s In

You have learned in Lesson 1 about human sexuality its definition and its important
component in one’s personality. According to Greenberg, Bruess and Oswalt (2017),
sexuality means many things: feelings about ourselves, roles we play in the society, and
reproduction. It is not limited to how we believe sexually. It is the total of our physical,
emotional and spiritual responses, thoughts and feelings. Sexuality is more about who we
are than about what we do.

Three Dimensions of Human Sexuality

There are three dimensions of human sexuality according to Greenberg, Bruess

and Oswalt (2017) in their book Exploring The Dimensions of Human Sexuality and these
are the following:

Biological Dimension involves our physical appearance, especially the development

of physical sexual characteristics; our responses to sexual stimulation; our ability to
reproduce or control fertility; and our growth and development in general.

Psychological Dimension involves our sense of being and a learned aspect of

sexuality. It is our attitudes and feelings towards ourselves and other people.

Socio-cultural Dimension is the sum of the cultural and social influences that affect
our thoughts and actions. Sexual identities and experiences are acquired from, influenced
and modified by an ever-changing social environment. People acquire and assemble
meanings, skills and values from the people around them.

What Is It

In the activity above, you assessed yourself on how and what influences you as a
person that may greatly affect your attitudes and practices related to sexuality and sexual
behaviors.

Factors that Affect One’s Attitudes and Practices Related to Sexuality and Sexual
Behaviors

In the book Exploring The Dimensions of Human Sexuality, according to Greenberg,

Bruess and Oswalt (2017) these are the factors:

Religion. Religious and spiritual beliefs influence feelings about morality, sexual
behavior, premarital sexual behavior, adultery, divorce, contraception, and abortion. A study
conducted at a southeastern university, showed that both males and females who reported
less frequent worship attendance and weaker religious feelings were more likely to
participate in sexual behaviors than those with more frequent worship attendance and
stronger religious feelings (Penhollow, Young, & Denny, 2005).

Multiculturalism. Cultures in different countries differ in their views of sexuality. A

person’s ethnic background is usually determined by birth and is related to country of origin,
native language, race and religion. Example, in some western countries abortion and same
sex marriage is legal but it is considered illegal in our country.

11
 Socioeconomic Status. Socioeconomic status and education also influence sexual
attitudes and behaviors. Example of this influence include low-income individuals often
thinking and acting differently than middle-class individuals, being more likely to engage in
sexual activities in an earlier age and having children outside of marriage. The poor have
less access to proper health care, birth control, and care during pregnancy, day care for
children, and positive sexual role models.

Ethics. The ethics of sexuality involves questioning the way we treat ourselves and
other people. Examples of sexually oriented ethical dilemmas include the following:
 Should I or should I not participate in a certain sexual behavior?
 Is it ethical not to disclose my full sexual history to a person I’m going to
marry?
 Is it ethical to engage in sexual behaviors with a person who is married?
 Is it ethical to use position of power to obtain sexual partners?
 Is it ethical to engage in same sex relationships and activities?

Media. Media help shape public attitudes on many topics on sexuality, gender roles,
and sexual behaviors. The depictions of sexuality we encounter in the media are there
mainly to entertain and sell products. Consequently, the media do not provide us with
realistic depictions. Television shows are filled with portrayals of sexual activity and “double-
meaning” comments. The music industry has countless sexual images. Listen to the words
of many currently popular songs and you will hear many sexual contents. So choose the
media that could promote sexual health by communicating accurate information and
portraying realistic situations.

Politics. Public policy affects our sexual behavior. For example, the Republic Act No.
10354 or also known as Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012
which the State recognizes and guarantees the human rights of all persons including their
right to equality and non-discrimination of these rights, the right to sustainable human
development, the right to health which includes reproductive health, the right to education
and information and the right to choose and make decisions for themselves in accordance
with their religious convictions, ethics, cultural beliefs, and the demands of responsible
parenthood. Republic Act No. 9262 or known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their
Children Act of 2004 that hereby declared that the State values the dignity of women and
children and guarantees full respect for human rights. The state also recognizes the need to
protect the family and its members particularly women and children, from violence and
threats to their personal safety and security. These policies will serve as the legal basis on
the implementation of the said laws.

Activity 5: Double Standard Morality

Directions: Read the examples below on how our society works in double standard
morality. Express your thoughts and opinions about the matter. Answer the questions below
on the space provided:

Boys and girls are given the impression of men being superior to women. In as much
as we would like to practice gender equality, the rules for human conduct and human
appropriateness are not alike for both sexes as practiced in most areas in the Philippines.
This is likely shown in the examples below:

 Boys and men are permitted to stay out more and up to a later time than the girls and
women.
 A philandering or immoral man is considered as demonstrating his manliness or
“pagkalalaki”. A philandering or immoral woman is considered as cheap, bad, or
“masamang babae”.
 Women are expected to remain virginal until they marry, while it is generally
acceptable for men to have sexual experience before marriage.
 Women are socially judged and legally penalized for adultery and for having children
out of wedlock.
 Men who stay at home to do household chores instead of having jobs to earn money
for the family are considered by some as “under‘d saya.”

tahanan” and our mothers as “ilaw ng tahanan” as she was the source of overflowing love
and care.

shaping your behavior. Talking encourages family togetherness and increases the likelihood
you will share parents’ values. Don’t hesitate to open up about your concerns on matters
about human sexuality and behavior because your family is your biggest support system.

Parents’ and teenagers’ morals, future aspirations, and self-control are typically quite
similar. Your issues and concerns about sexuality should be shared and talk about. Ask your
parents or any members of the family to have a conversation, communicate clearly and
interactively about the issue.

25
Different Issues/Concerns of Teenagers and the Need for Support and Understanding
of the Family

Bullying. It is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and

repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can be verbal, social,
physical or done online in form of cyber bullying and most commonly occurs at school.

Identity Crisis. It is questioning your sense of self or identity, unsure of your role in
life or you feel like you don't know the 'real you. This can often occur due to big changes or
stressors in life, or due to factors such as age or advancement from a certain stage (for
example, school, work, or childhood).

Suicide. It is the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and
intentionally due to loneliness, depression, family problems, and substance abuse.

Premarital Sex. It is a risky sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried.
The health consequences of teen sex namely pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections
can have lifelong impacts.

Teenage Pregnancy. As defined by the American Pregnancy Association, is a

pregnancy that occurs for a woman under the age of 20. Although technically not a
teenager, a young woman 12 or under who is pregnant falls into this definition of teenage
pregnancy as well.

Sexually Transmitted Infections. Also known as sexually-transmitted disease (STD) is

a communicable disease that is spread by a pathogen (disease-causing organism) or an
infection that can be transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Teens
are at an increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection than older adults.

Substance Use and Abuse: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs. Substance abuse is when
you take illegal. It’s also when you use alcohol, prescription medicine, tobacco and other legal
substances too much or in the wrong way.

Eating Disorder. Eating disorders are serious conditions related to persistent eating
behaviors that negatively impact your health, your emotions and your ability to function in
important areas of life. Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on your weight, body
shape and food, leading to dangerous eating behaviors. Eating disorders often develop in
the teen and young adult years, although they can develop at other ages (MayoClinic).

All of these issues and concerns can be addressed and solved through the help and
guidance of your parents and other older family members who are armed with facts about
these teen health issues. There will be no difficult conversations if you listen to them so that
you will be guided on making smart choices about health and safety.

with their well-off friends. Honey Joy knew that this group of friends are spoiled brats at
home and has been drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking weed since 6th grade. She
knows that using these substances affects one’s ability to make smart decisions regarding
sexual behaviors. She convinces Lynn not to go to the party and further reminded her to
choose friends who shared the same values with her. Lynn realized that abstinence is the
best way to avoid getting trouble.

Teenagers often say that they find it hard to make decisions. All the time we all have
to make decisions whether it is great or small from issues like what to have for snacks to

What Is It

A decision is the act of choosing between two or more courses of action. It involves
choosing possible solutions to a problem through intuition or reasoning process or the
combination of both.

Decisions need to be capable of being implemented, whether on a personal or

organizational level. Always bear in mind that in every decision you make should be
partnered with responsibilities. Good decision-making skills help you to resist peer pressure
and must be practiced and exercised in resolving issues and concerns about sexuality.
