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.

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.

What I Need to Know

Human sexuality is a natural part of life and its concept are learned. There are three
dimensions of human sexuality; biological, psychological and socio-cultural. The interactive

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.

12
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.

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 “doublemeaning”
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
13
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.”

What I Need to Know

Teenagers today are exposed to a large number of issues and concerns than ever before.

30
 What Is It

In the activity above, you assessed the issues and concerns of teenagers and their
effects on the dimensions of health. Your parents and family play an important role in 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.

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.
31
 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.

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 6 th 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.

What’s In

You have learned and identify in Lesson 6 the issues and concerns of
teenagers and the need for support and understanding of the family. In this lesson you will
learn to apply decision making skills in managing sexually related issues.

What I Need to Know

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 life-changing
decisions like where and what to study in college and who to marry. Teenagers are too young
to decide for themselves especially on decisions that involve sexual behavior. Decisions
should be discussed with parents or any older adults so that you will be guided on what to
do.

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.
