Studying Human Sexuality
3
Being sexual is an essential part of being human. Sexuality can be a source of great pleasure and satisfaction. Sexuality is the means by which we reproduce, bringing life into this world and becoming parents. Paradoxically, sexuality can also be a source of guilt and confusion, anger and disappointment, a pathway to infection, and a means of exploitation and aggression. Throughout our lives we make sexual choices based on our experiences, attitudes, values, and knowledge. Our sexuality evolves as we, ourselves, change.
