Document Summary

Chapter 13: development and expression of sexuality 12/13/2010 7:11:00 pm. Identity refers to a clear and stable sense of who one is in the larger society. Sexual identity is the complex of personal qualities, self perceptions, attitudes and values that guide one s sexual behavior. Heterosexuals seek emotional sexual relationships with those of the other gender. Homosexuals seek relationships with those of the same gender. Bisexuals seek relationships with members of both genders. Transgendered are those whose appearance and/or behaviors do not conform to traditional gender roles: body image. A positive body image is correlated with greater sexual activity: sexual values and ethics. All cultures impose constraints on how people are expected to behave sexually. That certain things are right and wrong, the nature depends on gender, race, etc: erotic preferences. People still differ in what they find enjoyable. Erotic preferences encompass your attitudes about self-stimulation, oral sex, intercourse, etc.
