set by society?

sexuality and sexual health?
Amazing! You did great! You are now ready to discover more about your
personal health attitudes that may influence your sexual behavior. It is important to
understand the concept of this topic. The people or things surround you can be the
factors influencing your attitude towards your sexual behavior.

Great Work! You are now ready to discover more about your personal health
attitudes as well as your sexuality in relation to your own feelings and behavior
towards others!
What is It
Are you still on board? Then, come on, let us learn more!
Now, based on the activity and your reflection, it can be noted that in most
cases, our perception and others’ perception towards our attitudes are significantly
different.
In addition, our personal health attitudes may influence our behaviors
towards others. As you grow older, you will experience social, emotional, and physical
changes. As these happen, you need a thorough knowledge on how to deal with other
people.
Moreover, reproductive health education is the primary factor that may
influence sexual behavior. People’s awareness of their body enables them to protect
themselves from any diseases or illnesses involving reproductive parts. Keeping
abreast with current information on sexually transmitted diseases would help them
avoid threat to their life.
Furthermore, studies show that sexually healthy individuals tend to behave
in the following ways:
Appreciate their own body
Avoid exploitative relationships
Interact with both genders in appropriate and respectful ways
Demonstrate tolerance for people with different values
Decide what is personality “right” and act upon these values
Talk with a partner about sexual activity before it occurs
Seek further information about sexuality.

Healthy sexuality goes beyond your being a man or a woman. It could also
be about your:
Attitudes and feelings
Physical and emotional needs
Sexual needs and desires throughout your lifetime.
Pleasure and fulfillment.
Reproduction and fertility.
Self-image and respect.
As to characteristics, healthy sexuality encompasses the following:
On the other hand, it can be further noted that sexuality encompasses not
only your attitudes and behavior towards yourself but also refers to your perceptions,
feelings, and behaviors toward others.
Below is the FA-SEL-PE diagram which shows healthy attitudes that can
influence sexual behavior. Let us see which of these do you possess.

The family as the basic unit of the society plays a vital role in exercising
one’s attitudes and behavior. The family environment creates a venue for
adolescents like you to engage and form the virtues of charity, temperance,
discipline, and respect. A person can be considered sexually healthy if he or
she is able to communicate effectively with the family. He or she is able to
express love and concern towards his or her family members. Performing your
duties and responsibilities at home, like doing your household chores, is a
manifestation of a healthy sexuality.
