All of us are sexual. Our sexual orientations - straight, gay, or bisexual Our values about life, love, and the people in our lives And sexuality influences how we feel about all of these things and how we experience the world. When we think of sexuality, we might just think about our bodies. We might just think about our sex organs. But our sexuality has as much to do with how we think and feel as it does with how we behave.
Sexuality is a basic part of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives.
Our sexuality should be enjoyed and celebrated. It is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Healthy sexuality allows us to be open, flexible, creative, safe, and responsible as we explore our sexual thoughts and feelings. It lets us recognize that sex can be fun and can also fulfill many emotional needs. Sex also has risks.
