The Growth of Sexuality: Men and Women

Sexuality in each condition and society has remained as the much investigated topic yet people hardly ever able to fmd a suitable defining answer for them. Every society fashions the development and expressions of sexuality, tailored to fit the social, political and economic conditions of its own existence. Although sexuality itself has both components, it is usually thought of primarily as a physical matter. For this reason, a society that regards sexual desires as dangerous or wrong is one that reveals its basic mistrust of the physical side ofhuman nature. Sexuality for them, although is a desired thing for procreation but not for the individual desire of union with the partner. Sexuality especially in Indian context has been a subject of curiosity yet talked off in hushed tones, believing that marriage is the ultimate point to understand sexuality which leaves two souls to unite emotionally, physically and sexually. There is a tremendous need for sex education during the period, when the pre-adolescents are fmally able to understand the material and integrate it at both an emotional and rational level which will lead them to becoming sexually responsible adults.
