Education has been regarded as the key to

combat ignorance. Conservatism anchored on

religious belief may hinder a full understanding of
one’s sexual well-being.

THE
SEXUAL
SELF
SIGMUND FREUD AND
THE DESIRE FOR PLEASURE
Human being’s need for sex is
not of the same level as the
need for oxygen, water, and
food. But without it,
humankind will perish. Sex is
not simply for procreation, but
it is also a source of pleasure
which is an important part of
sexual health.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
 HIV/AIDS
Human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) is an infection that
attacks the body's immune
system. Acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) is the most advanced
stage of the disease. HIV
targets the body's white blood
cells, weakening the immune
system.
 Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a sexually
transmitted disease (STD)
caused by infection with the
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
bacterium. N. gonorrhoeae
infects the mucous membranes
of the reproductive tract,
including the cervix, uterus,
and fallopian tubes in women,
and the urethra in women and
men.
 Syphilis
Syphilis is an infection caused
by bacteria. Most often, it
spreads through sexual
contact. The disease starts as a
sore that's often painless and
typically appears on the
genitals, rectum or mouth.
Syphilis spreads from person to
person through direct contact
with these sores.
Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is an STD

caused by two types of viruses
– herpes simplex virus type 1
(HSV-1) and herpes simplex
virus type 2 (HSV-2).
 Genital Warts
Genital warts affect the moist
tissues of the genital area.
They can look like small, flesh-
colored bumps or have a
cauliflower-like appearance. In
many cases, the warts are too
small to be visible.

 Chancroid
Chancroid is a highly
contagious yet curable sexually
transmitted disease (STD)
caused by the bacteria
Haemophilus ducreyi [hum-AH-
fill-us DOO-cray]. Chancroid
causes ulcers, usually of the
genitals.
Pubic lice
The most common way to get pubic lice
is through sexual activity. In children,
pubic lice may be found in the eyebrows
or eyelashes and can be a sign of sexual
abuse. However, it may be possible to
catch pubic lice after sharing clothing,
bedsheets or towels with an infected
person.

Pubic lice feed on your blood, and their

bites can cause severe itching.
Treatment includes applying over-the-
counter creams and lotions that kill the
parasites and their eggs.
 Scabies
Scabies is an infestation of the
skin by the human itch mite
(Sarcoptes scabiei var.
hominis). The microscopic
scabies mite burrows into the
upper layer of the skin where it
lives and lays its eggs. The
most common symptoms of
scabies are intense itching and
a pimple-like skin rash.
Trichomoniasis
Trich is caused by a really tiny
parasite called a trichomona
(you can’t see it with the naked
eye). People get trich from
having unprotected sexual
contact with someone who has
the infection. It’s spread when
semen (cum), pre-cum, and
vaginal fluids get on or inside
your penis, vulva, or vagina.
 Molluscum Contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is an
infection caused by a poxvirus
(molluscum contagiosum
virus). The result of the
infection is usually a benign,
mild skin disease characterized
by lesions (growths) that may
appear anywhere on the body.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID) is an an infection or
inflammation of organs
affecting the female
reproductive system (such as
the uterus, vagina and
fallopian tubes). PID commonly
affects young sexually active
women. For some, PID causes
a range of symptoms while for
others, it does not cause any.
 Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a common STD
that can cause infection among
both men and women. It can
cause permanent damage to a
woman's reproductive system.
This can make it difficult or
impossible to get pregnant
later. Chlamydia can also cause
a potentially fatal ectopic
pregnancy (pregnancy that
occurs outside the womb).
