You will all be given a slip of paper at the
beginning of each of our class sessions

You may write any question you have about the
topics being covered in class or about sexuality in
general.

At the end of the period I will collect all questions.

If you don’t have a question, an alternate prop will
be given to you.
*Everyone should write something on the slip
of paper and place it in the box in order to
preserve anonymity.

Biological Sex vs Sexual Behavior
Biological sex refers to the fact that humans
are born male, female, or intersex. It has to
do with how human bodies are made
(involving chromosomes, reproductive
organs, external genitalia and hormones).
Sexual behavior usually involves touching
oneself or another person in ways that
stimulate sexual feelings and pleasure.

feelings and values, maintaining selfconfidence, being aware of what
makes you individual and unique.

appropriately, monitoring progress

awareness: Understanding others
and being able to put yourself in another

resources, understanding the difference
