LESSON 1: Identifying Basic Terms in Sexuality and Discussing Sexuality as an Important
Component of One’s Personality

What I Need to Know

Human Sexuality
It refers to people’s sexual interest and attraction to others. Sexuality often shapes
through emotional and sexual attraction to particular genders or sexes. It can also be
experienced and expressed in many different ways like desires, fantasies, values, behavior’s,
beliefs, roles, attitudes and relationships. It is a natural and healthy part of life of being a male or
a female and is an important aspect in masculine and feminine identification.
Sexuality involves your name given at birth, the toys you played in childhood, the friends
you play with, the preference of your clothes you wear, and the roles and responsibilities you
play in your own home. Your family, peers, community and the society you live with helps shape
your personality. When you have a positive sexual understanding of yourself, self-worth also
improves and increases.

Activity 1 shows the different activities and preferences you do in your childhood. As you grow
older your choices, activities and preferences may also vary in different ways. Sexual
development is a continuous developmental process throughout life. It contributes the major
aspect of our personality for it begins from birth to adulthood. To fully understand what
sexuality is, let us define the basic terms for sex, sexuality and gender.

Sex
It refers to physiological differences found among male, female and various intersex
bodies on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions. It has two characteristics;
1. Primary Sex Characteristics – those related to the reproductive system
2. Secondary Sex Characteristics- those that are not directly related to the
reproductive system, such as breasts and facial hair.

Sexuality
 It refers to people’s sexual interest in and attraction to others, as well as their capacity to
have erotic experiences and responses. It is experienced and expressed in thoughts,
fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours, practices, roles and relationships.
Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political,
cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors. (WHO, 2006a, updated 2010)
Gender
It is a term that refers to social or cultural distinctions associated with being male,
female, or intersex. It does not exist naturally because it was generally regarded as a social
construct where the concept is created by cultural and societal norms.
Key Points:
Sex is entered on the biological basis of being a male or female which gender is socially
determined based on a person’s role and behavior. Take for example; babies born with male
sex characteristics (sex) are assigned as boys (gender); babies born with female sex
characteristics (sex) are assigned as girls (gender). Sexuality on the other hand is an integral
part of what we do and who we are and the way in which we experience and express ourselves
as sexual beings.

What Is It
Sexuality as an Important Component of One’s Personality
According to the American Psychological Association, personality refers to
individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. It is how the
various parts of a person come together as a whole.
Human Sexuality is part of our overall personality. It is something that is natural and
biological that develops into personality when growing up.
Sexuality is an important component of one’s personality because it helps a person define and
determine who he/she is that can affect his/her future choices and life decisions. It is vital to
have a positive outlook of yourself. Focus on your strengths and improve your weaknesses. If
you fully understand and accept yourself, you will know what you must do to stay healthy.
