freedom from unwanted activity

63
Q

An understanding of consent, and ethical conduct more generally

A

Consenting and acquiring consent, and the freedom to withhold or withdraw consent, always; knowing what consent really means and involves for everyone are key to healthy sexual development and to a healthy sexuality and sex life.

64
Q

Education about biological aspects of sexual practice

A

This means things like accurate words for body parts, science and fact-based explanations of how bodies can or do function not just around sexual reproduction, but also around sex itself and the debunking of mythologies about bodies, sexuality and reproduction.

65
Q

An understanding of safety

A

It’s vital to know about safer sex, preventing or reducing the risk of injury, illness and other harm, and how to explore sex and sexuality in ways which are known and shown as most likely to be physically and emotionally safe.

66
Q

Relationship skills.

A

Part of everyone’s sexuality involves interpersonal relationships, whether that’s about sexual relationships expressly, or any relationship in which someone’s sexuality may be addressed. Learning what is and is not healthy in all relationships – including family relationships, friendships, interactions with healthcare providers or people outside those spheres – is a big part of learning what is healthy in sexual relationships.

67
Q

Agency

A

Sexual agency is about having and being afforded ownership of one’s body and sexuality, not being externally controlled by others. This includes freedom from unwanted sexual activity and sexual coercion. Agency also means that we’re the owners of our own actions and choices. With real agency, we are both held accountable and responsible for them and are allowed the liberty of having ownership for the choices we make.

68
Q

Lifelong learning.

A

Being curious about sexuality and wanting to explore it needs to be understood and presented as healthy and acceptable. Exploring sexuality in healthy ways is also learning about sexuality, and that learning, and feeling open to always learn more, is part of our sexual well-being throughout all of life

69
Q

resilience

A

Sometimes sex can suck, doesn’t meet our expectations or things happen to us or by us sexually which are painful or traumatic. In order to be as healthy as we can, we need resilience so that we can deal with and/or heal from disappointment, embarrassment, harm or trauma, rather than being unable to recover or move forward in our lives and sexualities.

70
Q

open communication

A

Healthy sexuality doesn’t and can’t often happen in a culture or environment of silence. Talking about sex and sexuality openly and honestly is part of developing healthy sexuality and healthy sexual development, both with peers and and with parents, guardians and other adults, and also part of reducing the risk of sexual harms or negative outcomes

71
Q

Self-acceptance

A

Part of sexual well-being is accepting who we are, uniquely, and feeling accepted in who we are, even if and when our sexuality, sexual identity, embodiment or the ways we are sexual does not conform to someone else’s ideas of what our sexualities should be or what our bodies should feel, look or function like

72
Q

Awareness and acceptance that sex can be pleasurable

A

Sex isn’t just about making babies, something people only do because someone else wants or expects them to or something to exchange in order to get something else. It’s also about pleasure. In fact, when sex (of any kind, including masturbation) is truly wanted and consensual and when it occurs in healthy social contexts where everyone involved has agency, it’s most often mostly about pleasure. Seeking or experiencing sexual pleasure isn’t something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about: it can be a healthy, happy part of life.

73
Q

Understanding of parental and societal values

A

Whether we wind up agreeing with them or not, it’s important we understand the values and ethics of our world and our closest communities, including those within our families. When we are aware of and understand those well, we can inform our choices with them and also work out what our own values are, whether they’re the same or different from the values of our parents or our culture

74
Q

Awareness of public/private boundaries

A

healthy sexuality involves boundaries, including boundaries between public and private expressions of sexuality, even though all people don’t have the same boundaries. As well, how we present our sexuality and put it into action often is different when it’s public and when it’s private, both in our individual experiences and when it comes to how we are treated by others. To make sound choices about sexual behavior and expression, choices which include keeping ourselves and others safe, we need to be aware of the differences between what’s public and what’s private.

75
Q

Competence in mediated sexuality

A

veryone knows that there is (as there always has been) sex and sexuality in all kinds of media. The media is a big presence in our world, especially over the last couple decades, so it’s important that we learn how to make sense of and ask questions about what we see, hear or read in it so that we can have a sense of its impact on us and others and know the difference between what the media shows us and how it presents it and how different sexuality can be and often is in real life.
