Man’s Sexual Self
It tackles the ideas about the biological and
environmental factors that affect the sexual
development of man. Sexual self-concept refers to
the totality of oneself as a sexual being, including
positive and negative concepts and feelings.
The Biology Of Self
We are born with the biological component we call sexual
genitals, penis for male and vagina for female. At the
time of our childhood our chromosomes determine our
sex and so as the way we treat others but later in our life
our society, environment and other outside factors will
influence our sexualWe are born with the biological

and other outside factors will influence our sexual
preference.
Sexual Identity and Gender
Orientation
Our sex is determined at the time of our birth
and is reliant to what physical feature we
have, while gender is what individuals learn
and embrace as their own.
The Consequences of Sexual Choices
Sexual behavior is linked to a larger
range of outcomes than just
physical repercussions like sexually
transmitted illnesses and pregnancy,
it’s crucial to understand how sex
can affect mental and social well-
being in young adults.
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
STDs are serious illnesses that require medical
intervention. HIV, for example, is an incurable and
potentially lethal STD. Knowing more about STDs
can help you learn how to protect yourself.
1. Chlamydia
A very small parasitic bacterium which, like a virus,
requires the biochemical mechanisms of another cell in
order to reproduce. Bacteria of this type cause various
diseases including trachoma, psittacosis, and
nonspecific urethritis.
2. Genital herpes
A disease characterized by blisters in the genital
area, caused by a variety of the herpes simplex
virus.

Gonorrhea is an infection caused by a sexually transmitted
bacterium that infects both males and females. Gonorrhea most
often affects the urethra, rectum or throat. In females, gonorrhea
can also infect the cervix. Gonorrhea is most commonly spread
during vaginal, oral or anal sex.
4. HIV/ AIDS
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that
attacks the body’s immune system. If HIV is not
treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome)..
5. HPV
The virus that causes HPV infection is transmitted
through skin-to-skin contact. Most people get a
genital HPV infection through direct sexual contact,
including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Because HPV is a
skin-to-skin infection, intercourse isn’t required for
transmission to occur.
[Link] lice
Pubic lice, commonly called crabs, are tiny
insects found in your genital area. They are a
different type of louse from head lice and body
lice. Measuring 1/16 inch (1.6 millimeters) or
less, pubic lice received their nickname
because their bodies resemble tiny crabs.
7. Syphilis
Syphilis is a bacterial infection usually spread by sexual
contact. The disease starts as a painless sore — typically
on the genitals, rectum or mouth. Syphilis spreads from
person to person via skin or mucous membrane contact
with these sores.

Trichomoniasis (or “trich”) is a very common
sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by
infection with a protozoan parasite called
Trichomonas vaginalis. Although symptoms of the
disease vary, most people who have the parasite
cannot tell they are infected.

Nervous System Factors
Involuntary responses are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The efferent
cerebrospinal nerves send messages to the brain when sexual stimuli are initiated.
The brain will decipher the message and direct the body’s instant response. The
hypothalamus is a part of the brain that regulates sleep and the limbic system, and
the endocrine system oversee sexual response regulation.
