Strong preferences for a child of a given sex have marked INTERNAL  PARTS OF THE FEMALE INTERNAL REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The vagina is a muscular, hollow tube that extends from the vaginal opening to the uterus. Because it has muscular walls, the vagina can expand and contract. This ability to become wider or narrower allows the vagina to accommodate something as slim as a tampon and as wide as a baby. The vagina's muscular walls are lined with mucous membranes, which keep it protected and moist.  THE VAGINA SERVES THREE PURPOSES: It's where the penis is inserted during sexual intercourse. It's the pathway (the birth canal) through which a baby leaves a woman's body during childbirth. It's the route through which menstrual blood leaves the body during periods. FALLOPIAN TUBES These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and serve as tunnels for the ova (egg cells) to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. The fertilization of an egg by a sperm normally occurs in the  UTERUS (WOMB) It is hollow, pear shaped organ that is the home to a developing fetus. It is divided into two parts: 1. Cervix 2. Corpus CERVIX The cervix means neck. The cervix has strong, thick walls. The opening of the cervix is very small (no wider than a straw), which is why a tampon can never get lost inside a girl's body. During childbirth, the cervix can expand to allow a baby to  CORPUS The corpus can easily expand to hold a developing baby. It is a channel through the cervix allows sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit. OVARIES The ovaries are two oval-shaped organs that lie to the upper right and left of the uterus. They produce, store, and release eggs into the fallopian tubes in the process called ovulation. EXTERNAL LABIA MAJORA: The labia majora enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs. Literally translated as "large lips," the labia majora are relatively large and fleshy, and are comparable to the scrotum in males. The labia majora contain sweat and oil- secreting glands. After puberty, the labia majora are covered with hair. LABIA MINORA: Literally translated as "small lips," the labia minora can be very small or up to 2 inches wide. They lie just inside the labia majora, and surround the openings to  The CLITORIS, a small sensory organ, is located toward the front of the vulva where the folds of the labia join. The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin called the PREPUCE which is similar to the foreskin at the end of the penis. Like the penis, the clitoris is THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM PENIS The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse. It has three parts: the ROOT, which attaches to the wall of the abdomen; the BODY, or SHAFT; and the GLANS, which is the cone-shaped end of the penis. The GLANS, which also is called the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin. (This skin is sometimes removed in a procedure called circumcision.) The opening of the urethra, the tube that transports semen and urine, is at the tip The body of the penis is cylindrical in shape and consists of three internal chambers. These chambers are made up of special, sponge-like erectile tissue. This tissue contains thousands of large spaces that fill with blood when the man is sexually aroused. As the penis fills with blood, it becomes rigid and erect, which allows for penetration during sexual intercourse. The skin of the penis SCROTUM The scrotum is the loose pouch-like sac of skin that hangs behind the penis. It contains the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and blood vessels. The scrotum has a protective function and acts as a climate control system for the testes. For normal sperm development, the testes must be at a temperature slightly cooler than the body temperature. Special muscles in the wall of the scrotum allow it to contract (tighten) and relax, moving the testicles TESTICLES The TESTES are oval organs about the size of very large olives that lie in the scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord. The testes are responsible for making TESTOSTERONE, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These EPIDIDYMIS The EPIDIDYMIS is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It functions in the carrying and storage of the sperm cells that are produced in the testes. It is also the job of the epididymis to bring the sperm to maturity, since the sperm that emerge from the testes are VAS DEFERENS The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder. The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation. EJACULATORY DUCTS These are formed by the fusion of URETHRA The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body. In males, it has the additional function of expelling (ejaculating) semen when the man reaches orgasm. When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of urine is blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasam. SEMINAL VESICLES The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder. The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with The PROSTATE GLAND is a walnut-sized structure that is located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to the ejaculate. PROSTATE FLUIDS also help to nourish the sperm. The URETHRA which carries the ejaculate to be expelled during orgasm, runs through the  THE CONCEPT OF EROGENOUS ZONE An erogenous zone (from Greek ἔρως, érōs "love"; and English -genous "producing", from Greek -γενής, -genḗs "born") is an area of the human body that has heightened sensitivity, the stimulation of which may generate a sexual response, such as relaxation, sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm. Erogenous zones are located all over the human body, but the sensitivity of each varies, and depends on concentrations of nerve endings that can provide pleasurable sensations when stimulated. The touching of another person's erogenous zone is regarded as an act of physical intimacy. Whether a person finds stimulation in these areas to be pleasurable or objectionable depends on a range of factors, including their level of arousal, the circumstances in which it takes place, the Erogenous zones may be classified by the type of sexual response that they generate. Many people are gently aroused when their eyelids, eyebrows, temples, shoulders, hands, arms and hair are subtly touched. Gently touching or stroking of these zones stimulates a partner during foreplay and increases the arousal level. Also, the gentle massage or stroke of the abdominal area along with kissing or simply touching the navel can be a type of  Specific zones Specific zones are associated with sexual response, and include the lips and nipples in addition to areas of the genitals, notably the foreskin and corona of the glans penis, clitoris and rest of the vulva, and perineal skin. The rete ridges of the epitheliun are well-formed and more of the nerves are close to the external surface of the skin than in normal-haired skin. These zones have a high density of innervations, and may have an efficiency of wound healing and a capacity to stimulate generalized cerebral arousal. Nonspecific zones In these zones, the skin is similar to normal-haired skin and has the normal high density of nerves and hair follicles. These areas include the sides and back of the neck, the inner arms, the axillae (armpits) and sides of the thorax (chest). An  HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE Libido is a persons’ overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. What does LIBIDO do? Sex drive, or libido, refers to a person's desire to engage in sexual activity. A low libido refers to a decreased desire relating to sex, while a high libido is an increase in desire for sex.  THE SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE According to William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the cycle consists of four phases:  HUMAN SEXUALITY It is much more than sexual feelings or sexual intercourse. It includes all the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors associated with being female or male, being attractive and being in love, as well as being in THE CHEMISTRY OF LUST, LOVE AND ATTACHMENT There are psychological and physiological aspects in being turned on, being in love and attached to another person. The chemistry of lust, love and attachment lies in our brains, which is the humans’ most important “sex organ.” This is a phase which is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen- in both men and women. When you’re in the stage of lust, you feel physically attracted and drawn to the object of your affection. LUST  ATTRACTION In the second stage, you begin to obsess about your lover and crave his presence. You feel a surge of extra energy and excitement as you fantasize about the things you’ll do together. These feelings are created by three chemicals: NOREPINEPHRINE, DOPAMIN DOPAMINE Increased dopamine is associated with motivation, reward, and goal-directed behavior—hence the drive to pursue your loved one or create them in fantasy if you can’t be with them. Dopamine also creates a sense of novelty. Your loved one seems exciting, special and unique to you; you want to NOREPINEPHRINE is responsible for the extra surge of energy and "racing heart" that you feel, as well as the loss of, in some cases, both your appetite and your desire for sleep. It puts your body into a more alert state SEROTONIN Serotonin is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness. This hormone impacts your entire body. It enables brain cells and other nervous system cells to communicate with each other. It also helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion.  ATTACHMENT It is a bond helping the couple to take their relationship to advanced levels. It instigates the feeling of bearing a children and falling in love with them whole heartedly. Attachment involves wanting to make a more lasting commitment to your loved OXYTOCIN is a hormone released during orgasm (as well as during childbirth and breast-feeding). This may be the reason why sex is thought to bring couples closer together and be the “glue” that binds the relationship. There is a dark side to oxytocin as well. It seems to VASOPRESSIN Scientists learned about the role of vasopressin in attachment by studying the prairie vole, a small creature that forms monogamous bonds like humans do. When male prairie voles were given a drug that suppresses vasopressin, they began neglecting their partners and  SEXUAL ORIENTATION It refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to men, women or both sexes. It refers to a person’s sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors and membership in a TYPES OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION  Monosexual  Polysexual  Asexual MONOSEXUAL OR SAME SEX ORIENTATION People are exclusively attracted to members of only one gender. Same sex include: Gay, Lesbian and Straight. GENDER IDENTITY is who you feel you are inside and how you express those feelings through how you act, talk, dress, etc. SEXUAL ATTRACTION is the romantic or sexual feelings you have toward others. SEXUAL IDENTITY is how you label  HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW IF THEY ARE LESBIAN, GAY OR BISEXUAL? According to current scientific and professional understanding the core attractions that form the basis for adult sexual orientation typically emerge between middle childhood and early adolescence.  PERSPECTIVE ON HUMAN SEXUALITY SEXUAL SELFHOOD Is defined as how one thinks of himself or herself as a sexual individual HISTORICAL… ANCIENT GREECE The male are dominant and their symbol, the PENIS, is viewed as the symbol of fertility Women’s only function is to bear children. MIDDLE AGES Churches have high influence over sexuality. Acts that do not lead to THE 16TH CENTURY A movement initiated by Martin Luther King, John Calvin and other protestant leaders against the Roman Catholic Church. “Sexual Intimacy also strengthen bonds.” THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURY Puritans rallied to abhor VICTORIAN ERA Homosexuals and prostitutions are common thing Mentioning buttocks and breasts are uncomfortable thing to do There were beliefs in this era to avoid ejaculation and masturbation Psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud become common on this era. State separated from church that causes sexuality to expand where people used contraceptives and BIOLOGICAL… BRAIN is the reason in forming sexual behavior. By the process of reproduction, human beings are created, there are changes in both primary and secondary sexual changes at the start of puberty.  On the 16th and 18th weeks of pregnancy, gender of the baby can be physically noted and the baby will be developed when intercourse happen and fertilization takes place. CHROMOSOMES – threadlike structures in the nucleus GENES – composed of chromosomes and the basic unit of heredity AUTOSOMES – the first 22 pairs from 23 pairs (46)chromosomes SEX CHROMOSOMES – the 23rd chromosomes and distinguishes male XY to female XX  THE CHEMISTRY OF LOVE People fall n love due to the part of the brain from biological perspective. Areas in the brain on positive emotion increases and negative decreases. Hormones that affect bonding are OXYTOCIN (for uterine contraction, love and bonding functions) and VASOPRESSIN (for water levels in the body, bonding and parenting behavior). DOPAMINE (DA) and NOREPINEPHRINE (NE) It affects the mood, motivation attention and excitement. DA level can lead to exhiliration, anxiety, and many more due to drug use. SEROTONIN Associated with mood, obsession, sex and sleep. It decreases during infatuation that causes obsession. PHENYLETHYLAMINE (PEA) “LOVE DRUG.” Neurochemical that ca n increase the levels of DA and NE. Breakup causes PEA to lessen. Chocolates has high PEA that’s why it elevates level of “LOVE DRUG.” OXYTOCIN AND VASOPRESSIN Neuropeptides from pituitary glands. OXYTOCIN is important in childbirth, trust, empathy, pair bonding and accessibility. Orgasm increases in the level of oxytocin. VASOPRESSIN in important im pair bonding and social behaviour. ENDORPHINS “ENDOGENOUS MORPHIN.” It is the body’s natural increase like morphine or heroine. Endorphin increases after infatuation ends. It involves the feeling of security, euphoria,  SOCIOBIOLOGICAL/ EVOLUTIONARY SOCIOBIOLOGICAL THEORY Process that organism are best suited to environment are most likely to survive is called NATURAL SELECTION.” Traits will pass on if it will lead to reproductive advantage. Beauty is revolutionary standard. It is more on genetic survival in female with big breast or male with broad shoulders. The goal of evolutionary perspective is survival relationship that the foundation is only physical attraction  PSYCHOLOGICAL… Sexuality involves emotion, thoughts and beliefs. Sigmund Freud explained sexuality thru sex instinct or libido (pleasure) and death or aggressive instinct (harm towards oneself or to others) and human is geared to satisfy these. Erogenous Zones are the areas of pleasure SIGMUND FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT STAGE AGE RANGE EROGENOUS ZONE FIXATION ORAL Birth to 1 year Mouth Drinking, Eating, Smoking, Nail Biting ANAL 1 to 3 years Bowel Movements Anal-expulsive or Anal Retentive Personality PHALLIC 3 to 6 years Genitals Penis Envy or Womb Envy LATENT 6 to Puberty Social Activities Immaturity and Inability to form adult relationships GENITAL Puberty to Death Maturing Sexual None Interest STRUCTURES OF PERSONALITY RELIGIOUS… JUDAISM Have good view and promotes marital sex and consider as blessed by God. ISLAM Family is regard as outermost value and celibacy is prohibited Muslim men can have four wives and prohibit extramarital. TAOISM Sex is sacred union that is necessary in people sexual union medium to balance the male and female energy. HINDUISM Sexuality is seen as spiritual force and lovemaking means celebrating and transcending physical. ROMAN CATHOLIC (EVANGELIUM VITAE) Procreation is the essence of marriage. Homosexual acts are sinful and immoral.  SEXUAL TERMINOLOGIES SEX Latin word “SECARE” means ‘TO DIVIDE.’ SEXUALITY ‘TO UNITE.’ SEXUAL AROUSAL A new phenomenon on adolescence and aspect of adolescent and development. ADOLESCENSE Point of sexual exploration and experimentation. SEXUAL IDENTITY Involves sexual orientation, managing feelings and the sexual behaviour.  GENDER ROLE How females and males should think, act, and feel. SEX AND SEXUAL Biological indicators of male or female. GENDER ASSIGNMENT Foremost assignment as male or female since birth. GENDER REASSIGNMENT Official and legal change of gender. GENDER IDENTITY Individual’s identification as male or female or other category. MASCULINE Qualities and behaviors associated with men in one’s culture. FEMININE Qualities and behaviors associated with women in one’s culture.  ANDROGYNY Both feminine and masculine. ASEXUAL Persons that does not experience sexual drives to any sex. HYPERSEXUAL Person with extreme interest in sex.  JOHN LEE’S LOVE STYLE EROS Love that has strong sexual and emotional component that quickly faded since it emphasize physical attraction and sexual desire. AGAPE Self-less love that doesn’t expecting love in return. They value their partner more than themselves. STORGE Love related friendship, perceive love as slow process and don’t suddenly fall in love. LUDUS Love is just a game, fun or entertainment. They don’t value relationships. MANIA  THE TRIANGULAR THEORY OF LOVE BY ROBERT STENBERG INTIMACY Desire to give and receive emotional closeness, support, caring, and sharing. PASSION Hot component of love that can be deep romantic or sexual desire for other person. It is accompanied by physical attraction and physiological arousal. COMMITMENT Cold component of love. The choice to continue relationship in good or in bad times.  TYPES OF LOVE BASED ON TRIANGULAR THEORY LIKING (INTIMACY) Refers to the emotional intimacy and has no intention for long lasting commitment. A friendly relationship. INFATUATION (PASSION) “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.” High degree of physiological arousal and its action without intimacy or commitment. EMPTY LOVE (COMMITMENT) Couples continue relationship due to their child or other important reasons or the commitment. ROMANTIC LOVE (PASSION AND INTIMACY) Can be present during first phase of a relationship. This involves emotional intensity and sexual excitement. COMPANIONATE LOVE (INTIMACY AND COMMITMENT) Passion already faded. This is experienced in long deeply friendship or marriage. FATUOUS LOVE (PASSION AND COMMITMENT) Usually happened when couple get married in a short period of courtship. CONSUMATE LOVE (PASION , INTIMACY AND COMMITMENT) Ideal for relationships because there is a balance in the 3 components.  DIVERSITY OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR SOCIOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR Involves more than one person and expressed thru heterosexual and homosexual behavior. SOLITARY BEHAVIOR Involves only one individual by means of masturbation. It relieves stress and lower blood pressure. EROTIC DREAMS Involuntary images when sleeping that can cause vaginal lubrication and orgasm. In males. Nocturnal emission or wet dreams, the less a man masturbates, more  PARAPHILIA PARAPHILIA is a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities. Previously known as SEXUAL PERVERSION or SEXUAL DEVIATION. It is the experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals. Such attraction may be labeled SEXUAL FETISHISM. In 1981, an article published in American Journal of Psychiatry described paraphilia as "recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors generally involving" the following. Non – human Objects The suffering or humiliation of oneself or one’s partner Children  LIST OF PARAPHILIAS PARAPHILIA FOUS OF EROTIC INTEREST FETISHISM Recurrent intense sexual arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving the use of nonliving objects as sexual stimuli. TRANVESTIC Recurrent intense sexual arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors FETISHISM involving cross-dressing. PEDOPHILIA Intense and repeated sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with children typically less than 14 years old. SEXUAL MASOCHISM -Recurrent intense sexual arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or AND SEXUAL SADISM behaviors involving the act(real, note stimulated) of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer. -Recurrent intense sexual arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving the act(real, note stimulated) in which the psychological or physical suffering (including humiliation) of the victim is sexually exciting to the person. VOYEURISM Recurrent intense sexual arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving the act of observing an unsuspecting person who is naked in the process of disrobing or engaging in sexual activity.  PARAPHILIA FOUS OF EROTIC INTEREST EXHIBITIONISM The exposure of one’s genitals to an unsuspecting stranger and involves some form of sexual gratification. FROTTEURISM Intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving nonconsenting person.  SEXUAL PROBLEMS Physiological Sexual Problems Only a small minority of people suffers for diseases of or deficient development of the genitalia or that part of the neurophysiology governing sexual response. Many people, however, experience at some time sexual problems that are by- products of other pathologies or injuries. Female reproductive organ infections, for example, retroverted uteri prostatitis, adrenal tumors, diabetes, senile changes of the female reproductive organ, and the cardiovascular conditions may cause disturbance of the sexual life.  PSYCHOLOGICAL SEXUAL PROBLEMS Psychological problems constitute by far the largest category. They are not only the product of socially induced inhibitions, maladaptives attitudes, and ignorance but also of sexual myths held by society. PREMATURE EMISSION OF SEMEN is a common problem, especially for young males. Sometimes this is not the consequence of any psychological problem but the natural result of excessive tension in male who has been sexually deprived. In such cases, more frequent coitus solves the problem. ERECTILE IMPOTENCE is usually of psychological origin in males under 40; in order males physical causes or more often involved. Fear of being impotent frequently causes impotence, and, in many cases, the afflicted male is simply caught up in a self-perpetuating problem that can be solved only by achieving a successful act of coitus. In other cases, the impotence may be the result of disinterest in the sexual Ejaculatory impotence is the inability to emit semen in coitus, is quite rare and is almost always of psychogenic origin. It seems associated with ideas of contamination or with memories of traumatic experiences. Vaginismus is a powerful spasm of the pelvic musculature constricting the female reproductive organ so that the penetration is painful or impossible. It seems wholly due to antisexual conditioning or psychological trauma and serves as an unconscious defense against coitus Dyspareunia, painful coitus, is generally physical  SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES CHLAMYDIA Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. It can infect both men and women. Women can get chlamydia in the cervix, rectum, or throat. Men can get chlamydia in the urethra (inside the penis), rectum, or throat. GONORRHEA Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can infect both men and women. It can cause infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat. It is a very common infection, SYPHILIS Syphilis is a bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact. The disease starts as a painless sore — typically on your genitals, rectum or mouth. Syphilis spreads from person to person via skin or mucous membrane contact with these sores. CHANCROID Chancroid is infection of the genital skin or mucous membranes caused by Haemophilus ducreyi and characterized by papules, painful ulcers, and enlargement of the inguinal lymph nodes leading to suppuration. Diagnosis is usually clinical because culturing the organism is difficult. Treatment is with a macrolide (azithromycin or erythromycin), ceftriaxone, or ciprofloxacin. HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS HPV stands for human papillomavirus. It’s the most common sexually transmitted infection. HPV is usually harmless and goes away by HERPEX SIMPLEX VIRUS The herpes simplex virus, also known as HSV, is an infection that causes herpes. Herpes can appear in various parts of the body, most commonly on the genitals or mouth. TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS 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  NATURAL CONTRACEPTIVES ABSTINENCE This method involves abstaining from sexual intercourse. CALENDAR METHOD To use the rhythm method, you track your menstrual history to predict when you'll ovulate. This helps you determine when you're most likely to conceive. BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE The basal body temperature monitoring method works by enabling women to determine the fertile and infertile periods of their menstrual cycle and avoid sex during the fertile stages. A woman's body temperature rises slightly after ovulation at about half way through her menstrual cycle. CERVICAL MUCUS METHOD The cervical mucus method is based on careful observation of mucus patterns during the course of your menstrual cycle SYMPTOTHERMAL METHOD OVULATION DETECTION These kits use test strips that show changes in the level of LH in the urine. Once the LH surge has occurred, ovulation usually takes place within 12 to 36 hours. Urine testing usually begins two days prior to the expected day of ovulation. For women with 28-day cycles, ovulation usually occurs on days 13 to 15. COITUS INTERUPTUS is a method of birth control in which a man, during sexual intercourse, withdraws his penis from a woman's vagina prior to orgasm (and ejaculation) and then directs his ejaculate (semen) away from the vagina in an effort  ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTIVES CONTRACEPTIVES The pill is a small tablet containing hormones that needs to be swallowed by the woman at the same time every day. The combined pill contains estrogen and progestin, which stop the ovaries from releasing eggs. TRANSDERMAL PATCH A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream. VAGINAL RING A woman places the birth control ring in her vagina where it slowly releases hormones into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy. SUBDERMAL IMPLANTS Involve the delivery of a steroid progestin from polymer capsules or rods placed under the skin. The hormone diffuses out slowly at a stable rate, providing contraceptive effectiveness for 1-5 years. HORMONAL INJECTION Once every 12 weeks injection. INTRAUTERINE DEVICE Is a small, often T-shaped birth control device that is inserted into a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy. MALE CONDOM A male condom is a thin film cover that is placed over the penis. Condoms prevent pregnancy by keeping sperm from entering a woman’s body. FEMALE CONDOM A thin pouch that can be inserted into the vagina before sex, forming a barrier to protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, and unplanned pregnancy. Female condoms can also be used to protect you and your partner during anal sex. SURGICAL METHOD The permanent birth control method for women that most people are familiar with is tubal ligation (also known as getting your "tubes tied"). And for men, it's vasectomy. Both are surgical CHEMICAL BARRIERS Chemical barriers destroy pathogens on the outer body surface, at body openings, and on inner body linings. Sweat, mucus, tears, and saliva all contain enzymes that kill pathogens. DIAPHRAGM is a barrier method of contraception. It fits inside your vagina and prevents sperm passing through the cervix (the entrance of your womb). You need to use it with a gel that kills sperm (spermicide). CERVICAL CAP is a form of barrier contraception. A cervical cap fits over the cervix and blocks sperm from entering the uterus  “ Do not be afraid of exploring your sexuality, fantasies, and desires. Embrace them. Love them. Make them yours. They are part of who you are.”  ENGAGING ACTIVITY “POSTER MAKING” Make a POSTER to advocate the responsible use of certain family planning method and come up with a unique statement on Sexual Health and Well-being. THANK YOU!!!
