THE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

• Your sexual motivation – libido, is your overall sexual drive or desire

for sexual activity. This is affected by biological, psychological, and
social factors. A person’s ability to engage in sexual behaviors is
controlled and influenced by sex hormones, social factors – work and
family, internal psychological factors – personality and stress, medical
conditions, medications, pregnancy, and relationship issues.
• As teenagers, curious of your body changes and sensations, you
should be aware of your responsibilities to control and to not go
beyond your limits when it comes to the practice of engaging sexually.
