II. SESSION OUTLINE

Session Title: Factors that Affect One’s Attitudes and Practices Related to Adolescent
Sexuality

Session a. Identify the factors that affect one's attitude and practices related to
adolescent sexuality.
Objectives: b. Differentiate the influential factors that affect one’s attitude and practices related
to adolescent sexuality.
c. Explain how the influential factors related to adolescent sexuality affect
one’s attitudes and practices.

Key Concepts: • Sexuality is about your sexual feelings, thoughts, attractions, and behaviors
towards other people. You can find other people physically, sexually, or
emotionally attractive, and all those things are a part of your sexuality.
Sexuality is diverse and personal, and it is an important part of who you
are.
• Family, especially the parents are usually the first mentors of your sexual
identity. They teach you about love, kindness, and humility. Family
relationships lay the foundation of your personality, life options, and total
behavior. It can also affect the strength of your social, physical, mental, and
emotional health. Making a strong connection within your family is
significant in nurturing yourself.
• Culture refers to the norms and standards set by society that could affect your
values regarding sexuality. Cultures can influence sexual attitudes and
behaviors through conformity pressure, obedience, as well as other
methods. For example, in the United States, the culture contains laws and
norms restricting sex to people of certain ages.
• Peers are groups of people you meet in school who can have a significant
impact on your views on human sexuality. Not only are actual peer
behaviors important, but even the perception of peer behaviors is also
influential. Teens experience earlier sexual initiation if they believe their
peers are having sex.
• Media is a factor that plays a significant role in our lives as we regularly
watch television, listen to the radio, search the internet, and read
newspapers. Sexual behavior can be acquired through exposure to
 pornography and sexual models on the Internet through imitating and
copying of such acts.

Family. It is a factor that oftentimes determines your family
values. Family, especially the parents are usually the first
mentors of your sexual identity. They teach you about love,
kindness, and humility. Family relationships lay the foundation
of your personality, life options, and total behavior.
Culture. Cultural background can affect your values regarding
sexuality. Sexual identities and orientations, the contents of
sexual behavior, and the social consequences of these
behaviors vary largely across cultural contexts.
Peers. Peers are the one of important sources of knowledge
about sexuality, but they are not the most effective and
efficient sources. As an adolescent, you may begin to spend
more time with peers – friends, and classmates in your age
group. As a result, their values and beliefs may influence you.
Media. Media plays a big role in shaping our sexuality
because of how they portray figures of females and males in
music videos, magazines, commercials, television, and many
more. They create exaggerated standards that influence how
you think about yourself.
