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, behaviors, 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.

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.
