Briefly describe the difference between the meaning of sexuality and sexuality education.

What will be an ideal response?


Sexuality “a natural and healthy part of who we are. It is now about taking part in sexual behaviors. It is an integral part of everyone’s personality and includes cultural, psychological, ethical, and biological dimensions.” Sexuality education “a lifelong process of acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs, and values about such important topics as identity, relationships, and intimacy. It addresses the socio-cultural, biological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of sexuality by providing information; exploring feelings, values, and attitudes; and developing communication, decision-making, and critical-thinking skills.” A correct answer would reflect these differences.
Example: Sexuality refers primarily to a natural and fundamental part of who we are. Sexuality education refers more to the process through which we come to understand and value our sexuality.
