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.
Having a healthy attitude about sexuality means knowing our values, beliefs, attitudes, limits, and boundaries, and respecting that knowledge by being responsible. It allows us to feel attractive, regardless of our age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, height, weight, or physical or mental ability. It lets us be ourselves. Knowing as much as possible about our sexual selves, in terms of our beliefs, values, and physical needs will help us create responsible, healthy, and satisfying sexual lives. Our Sexual Bodies Girls and boys have different sex organs.
