Study Notes

Understanding the Self

  • The presentation is about understanding the self, focusing on the sexual self, changing bodies, and the sexual and reproductive systems for both males and females.

Chapter 7: The Sexual Self

  • Learning outcomes include explaining the development of sex characteristics and the human reproductive system, explaining sexual orientation, identifying causes and consequences of STIs and early pregnancy, and reflecting on the importance of contraception.

  • A film clip, "Dalagita ng Sapang Kawayan" (documentary by Kara David), will be viewed by students, followed by a critique paper.

Changing Bodies (U4U: Session 1)

  • Body mapping activity: Students will draw a diagram of either a male or female body, discuss bodily changes, indicate changes on the diagram, and present the body map in a group.

Changes That Are the Same for Boys and Girls

  • Growing taller
  • Changing body shape
  • Feeling "moody"
  • Getting hair
  • Sweating more
  • Getting oilier skin and pimples
  • Having sexual feelings

Changes in Girls

  • Bodies become curvier and hip bones widen.
  • Gaining extra weight, particularly on hips to achieve "womanly" shape.
  • Do not start dieting; healthy eating and exercise are essential.
  • Muscles get bigger and stronger, but not as big as boys' muscles.
  • Breasts develop, starting with swelling under nipples and growing into full breasts
  • Menstruation or period starts
  • May get whitish/sticky fluid between periods (normal)

Changes in Boys

  • Gaining extra weight

Sexual and Reproductive Systems (U4U Session 2)

  • Female sexual and reproductive systems share some but not all organs. The sexual system involves organs relevant for pleasure and activity; whereas the reproductive system focuses on pregnancy and birth.

  • Key female reproductive organs: clitoris, labia majora, labia minora, vagina, hymen(not shown), cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

  • Male sexual and reproductive organs: penis, testicles, scrotum, urethra, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and Cowper's glands.

Understanding the Chemistry of Lust, Love, and Attachment

  • Love and its evolution, discussed through different kinds of love and their stages:

  • Kinds of love include Ludus, Eros, Mania, Philia, Pragma, Storge, and Agape.

  • Love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

  • Stages of love include lust (driven by hormones testosterone and estrogen), attraction (involves neurotransmitters adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin), and attachment (involves hormones oxytocin and vasopressin)

Teen Age Pregnancy

  • Definitions and facts on teenage pregnancy : Defined by age 10 in the Philippines and frequently connected to inadequate education/knowledge, financial dependence, and immaturity.
  • Societal effects of teenage pregnancy include a rise in population growth, higher dropout rates, and straining of the public health system, due to poverty and lack of medical access.
  • Social factors that influence teenage pregnancy include immaturity, lack of sexual education, overprotection, and lack of affection, parental supervision, which lead to an increase of teen pregnancy rates.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

  • STIs are primarily transmitted through sexual contact (vaginal, oral, and anal). There are three types: bacterial, viral, and parasitic. Examples include Vaginitis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Genital Herpes, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Genital Warts, Hepatitis B. Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) / Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and Trichomonas.
  • HIV is transmitted via blood, sexual fluids, and breast milk and is not transmitted by saliva, mucus, sweat, tears, or body waste.
  • There is no cure for HIV. Prevention methods include abstinence, faithfulness, control, avoiding drug use, and knowledge via education.

Family Planning Methods

  • A form of proactive decision-making and living based on knowledge, attitudes, and responsible decisions about family size and timing of births through birth control.
