Human Sexuality
Talking about sex is taboo in some
cultures.
Sex education is a
new thing.
Your grandparents
probably learned
almost nothing
about sex in
school.
But it is important
to talk about it.
Talk to your parents about sex.
Talk to your partner about sex.
Be clear about
what you like
and don’t like.
When we are young, we are not
interested in the opposite sex.
This is because we don’t yet have testosterone
and estrogen.
But then puberty happens.
Hormones are released in your body.
And people start to feel sexual
attraction.
It’s a natural thing.
You don’t have to pretend you don’t want it.
Some people are heterosexual.
Some people are
homosexual.
About ten
percent of all
people are
homosexual. 700
million people in
the world!
Many animals are
homosexual too.
Are people born
gay? Maybe. But
it can change
throughout life.
Some people are bisexual.
Some people are transexual
Men and women are different.
• A man’s nature is to want to have sex often, and
with many different partners.
• A woman’s nature is to want one man who will
take care of her and her baby.
• These different wants and expectations can cause
problems in dating.
Some people repress their sexuality.
Catholic priests, nuns and
monks are not allowed to
have sex.
The average age of first sexual
intercourse in America is 17 years old.
And many people stay active
throughout their life.
Why do people try to look good, and
drive a nice car?
Because they want to find
a mate to make babies.
Why do we think some people are
“beautiful”?
Because they have
symmetrical features,
and are young and
healthy.
These kinds of people
are best able to make
healthy babies.
If people didn’t have sex, it would be
the end of humanity.
In some cultures, being a virgin is
important.
Some women
want to wait
until marriage
to have sex.
A virgin usually has a hymenเยื่อ หรหมจารี.
• A woman may
bleed during her
first time having
sex. Or she may
not.
• Sometimes a virgin
does not have a
hymen.

Whether you have
sex or not is your
choice.
Just remember
that abstinence is
100 percent safe.

stress.

if you have an active sex life.

one or both people
have an orgasm.

closed during sex.
• It is good to pee
after sex, because
it cleans out the
