While we sometimes think of it as such, sexuality is not just the act of sexual intercourse. Young adults are at an awkward cross-road. They are no longer children, yet they are not adults. Their bodies and their needs are changing.
Many teens fantasize, or daydream, about relationships and sex.
It is normal to think about sexuality even if a teen is not having sex. Some look at erotic pictures and masturbate. Masturbation is a normal and safe way to release sexual feelings. It is also a safe way to learn about what gives your body pleasure. Young adults often talk a lot about sex.
