Document Summary
Hpro 4412 chapter 1: introduction to human sexuality. Sex is the biological sex traits that we exhibit at birth (e. g. male, female, intersex) Sexuality is our understanding at any given time during our life-course of who we are as sexual being. Gender are the traits we exhibit that are socially and culturally understood as masculine and feminine. The way we have formed and understand our values and morals almost always directly relate to how we view issues related to sex and sexuality. Ideas such as sex before marriage, casual sex, the way we enact our gender, and who we will have sex with are often framed within our value system. When our behaviors conflict with our values and morals, we may experience negative emotions. Another thing to consider is whether our ideas of morality should be used to judge other people"s behaviors. All cultures have seen fit to regulate sexuality in some way.
