Human Sexuality
Some of the most significant relationships in life are those of a sexual nature. Sexuality is more than what you do with another person sexually. It is an important aspect of your wellness. Sexuality encompasses:
  • the person you feel you are
  • your body
  • how you feel as a man or woman
  • the way you dress, move, and speak
  • the way you act
  • how you feel about other people

These are all parts of how you are as a person. Everyone has his or her own way of being or feeling sexual. Choosing to wait until you feel ready to be in a sexual relationship is fine. In fact, you can choose to be sexually abstinent at different times in your life.

Sexual activity is a normal part of human experience. Thoughts, feelings, words and actions are, all a part of our being, sexual. There are a wide variety of behavioral patterns that define appropriate sexual activity. In many ways, they are as varying as the individuals that practice them.
