SEX, GENDER AND
SEXUALITY
ADOLESCENCE
It is the period of dynamic change and
may potentially also be a period of
confusion.
It is also the time that they are
growing in physical, emotional ad
psychological aspects.
SEX
It is refers to the biological and
physical characteristics that make
a person either male or female. It
is easily determined at birth by
just looking at the external
genitalia.
GENDER
It is refers to a person’s internal
sense of being male or female.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER
SEXUALITY
It is refers to a person’s orientation
with regard to his/her intimacy with
another person. A sexual relation
between the same sex is
Homosexuality, while that of the
opposite sex is Heterosexuality.
TRANSGENDER
A person who behaves like that of
the opposite sex. If a man
behaves like a woman, he is
referred as gay. Likewise, a
woman who behaves like a man
may be referred to as lesbian.
TRANSSEXUAL

A person is someone who takes steps

to change his/her physical or sexual
characteristics to that one opposite
sex.
DIMENSION OF HUMAN
SEXUALITY
A. PHYSICAL/BIOLOGICAL DIMENSION
Every society has its standard of
beauty. A person is usually judged to
be physically attractive according to
the standard. In the Philippines,
having fair skin is viewed as
desirable; hence, the use of whitening
products is rampant among Filipinos.
B. PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSION
When a teenager asks: Do I look
good?, he/she is comparing his/her
physical attributes to the standards of
physical attractiveness existing in
society. A person creates a body
image, a subjective or mental image
of his/her body.
C. SOCIO-CULTURAL DIMENSION
Various social factors also affect a person's
sexuality. One of these influences are religious
beliefs that influence a teenager's feelings about
morality, sexual behavior, premarital sex, divorce,
contraception, abortion, and masturbation. Internet
and social media nowadays expose a teenager to
sexual images, relationship advice, and sexual
behaviors.
C. SOCIO-CULTURAL DIMENSION
Laws allow or disallow and penalize certain
sexual behaviors. In most conservative societies,
such as the Middle East, homosexuality is
considered a crime. In Western and liberal
societies, homosexuality is tolerated and
accepted. Some countries even enacted laws that
allow same-sex marriage.
